Smooth Moves by Hash

• Russell Wilson put on one of the season's standout performances with 45.20 points this week. It was the week's highest point total, as well as the eighth-most points scored this season.
• Golden Tate ranked ninth in the league in scoring with 28.94 points, his highest output of the season.
• Allen Hurns overachieved by 53.3%, scoring 19.50 points against a projected 12.72.
• Did you use any black magic this week? Hash was still able to pull out a win with only 4 of their 8 starters exceeding their projected points.
• Perhaps this is how backups become starters. Hash won with three players on the bench that did not play this week.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Fantasy Football is a mental sport. Using your brain is a great way to ensure success.
• Left Rob Gronkowski on the bench, where he scored 18.70 points and surpassed his scoring projection by 81.9%, the highest percentage of any player on the team.
• It's times like these when it's important to support your players when they're down. So move the mouse pointer away from the DROP button. The Cincinnati Bengals Defense scored a season-low 5.00 points, 40.0% of their projected 12.50, which is their lowest percentage of the year.
• Even though Hitters lost, only 4 of their 8 starters scored less than their projected points.
• With 4.90 points, Jordan Matthews scored only 38.6% of his 12.71 projected point total.
