Smooth Moves by PITCH

• Took Ryan Fitzpatrick out of the starting lineup, who scored 15.00 points on the bench, fewer than the starting QB.
• Doug Martin put the team on his back with 23.50 points, the second-highest score among RBs in the league this week.
• What do Apache helicopters, F-117 Nighthawks and Larry Fitzgerald have in common? They are all dangerous aerial weapons. He ranked ninth in the league in scoring among WRs this week with 17.00 points.
• Even with only 4 of the 8 starters scoring more than their projection, PITCH was still able to win.
• Both of the RBs starting for PITCH exceeded their point expectations.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Now that $OONER$ got that embarrassing loss out of the way, let's work on our Toyota Hall of Fame potential.
• Kept James Jones on the bench, where he scored the eighth-most points in the league and beat his projected point total by 166.3%, the ninth-highest percentage in the league.
• Antonio Gates has now underachieved in three straight games after scoring a matchup-low 1.60 points against a projected 12.66.
• Could've started Jimmy Graham, who underachieved, but still outscored the starting TE with 6.90 against a projected 12.57.
• Gotta hit rock button before you can start to rise. It was a season-low 2.04 points for Amari Cooper this week. It was also a season-low for his performance versus projections, reaching only 12.4% of a projected point total of 16.48.
