Smooth Moves by Pulled Pork Mafia

• Pulled Pork Mafia 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.
• Look, there in the sky. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's just Demaryius Thomas posterizing opponents. He had the 10th-highest score of any WR in the league this week with 21.40 points.
• Do you put a LB or DB on him? You might have to put both on him if this continues. Hunter Henry scored 16.10 points to rank fifth among TEs in the league this week.
• With 16.00 points, the Seattle Seahawks Defense had their highest output of the season and beat their projected point total by a season-high 34.2%.
• With 13.70 points, Phillip Dorsett had his highest output of the season.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Don't worry, Hash, the Toyota Hall of Fame says losing isn't contagious. But it is embarrassing. And you should be embarrassed.
• Did not start Brian Quick, who scored 20.90 points and beat his projected point total by 565.6%, which was the highest percentage in the league.
• With 1.50 points, DeSean Jackson was last on the team in scoring and got only 10.0% of his 14.93 projected points, his lowest percentage of the season.
• The best offense is a good defense. Hash got beat 16.00 - 7.00 by Pulled Pork Mafia at the DEF position.
• 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. Cairo Santos scored a season-low 2.00 points, 25.1% of his projected 7.97, which is his lowest percentage of the year.
