Smooth Moves by Cow

• Cow scored massive brownie points with the Toyota Hall of Fame this week. Too bad brownie points don't count as real points. Not that you need help.
• Traded for Carlos Hyde, who beat his scoring projection by 162.6%, which led the team.
• Mike Evans led the matchup in scoring with 29.20 points, the second-highest score of any player on Cow this season.
• Matt Ryan overachieved by 22.7%, scoring 24.30 points against a projected 19.81.
• Cow won even with Nick Novak in the starting lineup, who didn't score any points.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• 112.40 seems a lot higher when you're on the losing side of it. And the Toyota Hall of Fame knows you know that.
• Could have started Justin Forsett, who underachieved, but still outscored the starting RB with 9.20 against a projected 11.90.
• Russell Wilson has scored below his projection in every game this season after scoring 16.45 points against a projected 26.92 this week.
• C.J. Anderson did not meet his 15.08-point projection this week, the first time that's happened this season. His 5.10 points were also a season-low.
• In the midst of a season-low in scoring, Eric Decker also did not meet his projected points (4.10 points scored versus 13.69 projected) for the second time this season.

• If they played every team every week, Hash would be 25-20.
