Smooth Moves by Killer Beas

• If this were a dream sequence, you'd hear a deep voice announce, "Killer Beas, the Toyota Hall of Famer." But it's not.
• The 20.05 points scored by Eli Manning was the fourth-highest score of any QB in the league this week.
• Eric Ebron had the third-highest TE score in the league this week with 7.60 points.
• Jeremy Maclin overachieved by 20.5%, scoring 14.20 points against a projected 11.78.
• Even with only 4 of the 8 starters scoring more than their projection, Killer Beas was still able to win.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Sometimes 85.75 is enough. Unfortunately, the Toyota Hall of Fame has confirmed this time it's a smaller number than 86.19.
• Could've started the Los Angeles Rams Defense, which underachieved, but still outscored the starting DEF with 5.00 against a projected 8.27.
• Whoever gave you this advice, you might want to lose their number. Picked up and started the Chicago Bears Defense, which then scored below their 6.04-point projection with 3.00 points.
• A heated blanket would be a great gift for Tyrell Williams during this cold streak. He scored below his projection in three straight games after scoring 6.00 points against a projected 12.67 this week.
• Brandon McManus was last in the matchup in scoring, finishing below his projection for the second time this season with 3.00 points against a projected 6.42.
