Smooth Moves by $OONER$

• The Toyota Hall of Fame would have its eyes on you for this week's win. But the Toyota Hall of Fame doesn't have eyes. Obviously.
• With 27.40 points, Jason Witten had the second-highest TE score of the week and the sixth-best TE score in the league this season.
• One of these days the prognosticators will give Aaron Rodgers his due props. He ranked eighth in the league in scoring with 31.15 points against a projected 24.79 and has now overachieved in three straight games.
• Not the best, but in the conversation. Latavius Murray ranked seventh in the league in scoring this week with 31.70 points. It was also the fourth-highest score of any player on $OONER$ this season.
• Look, there in the sky. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's just Jordy Nelson posterizing opponents. He had the eighth-highest score of any WR in the league this week with 22.40 points.

• Cow ranked 13th in the league in starter/bench scoring ratio this week with 135.60 points from their starters and 53.82 total points left on the bench.
