Smooth Moves by Hawks

• Fantasy Football is a game where the high score wins. So keep doing what you have to do, the Toyota Hall of Fame will turn a blind eye.
• Hawks saw their fifth-largest single-week point total by a player this season with Tom Brady scoring 34.20 points. The score was also high enough to rank third in the league.
• Benched Jermaine Kearse, who had the lowest WR score on the team with 1.70 points.
• Do you put a LB or DB on him? You might have to put both on him if this continues. Martellus Bennett scored 17.00 points to rank third among TEs in the league this week.
• With 16.50 points, Doug Martin had his highest output of the season and beat his projected point total by a season-high 56.1%.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• It's okay to regret not taking a sick day to study the Toyota Hall of Fame's articles. But it's not okay to do it again.
• Did not start Bilal Powell, who ranked second in the league in scoring and beat his scoring projection by 196.5%, the fourth-highest percentage in the league.
• The 0.50 points scored by Melvin Gordon was a season-low for both scoring and for his performance against projections. He reached only 2.8% of his 17.97 projected points this week.
• 6 of the 8 starters scored less than their projected points.
• DeAndre Hopkins fell short of his scoring projection with 5.30 points, just 37.1% of his projected 14.28.
