My apologies for publishing this a day late. Working normal
hours has disrupted my fantasy schedule from previous years.
Anthony Battle led the league in scoring this week, but was
the lowest-scoring Tom Brady Award winner this season. It was a low-scoring
week in general, at least in terms of our new scoring settings. Our first three
weeks all rank in the top three in league history in average points per team,
but this week ranks only 8th.
The Peyton Manning Award went to Brandon Saunders, who got
some big performances from his players. More specifics on that will come at the
end of this entry, but the win moved him into first place in the AFL West and
handed Eric Meyer his first loss of the season.
The other undefeated owner heading into the week was Andrew
Perez, and he lost to Evan Ash in large part due to Julio Jones. His 300-yard
receiving day landed him 42 points, good for the fourth-highest single-game
score from a wide receiver in league history. Number one on that list is Andre
Johnson who put up 44.5 points in Week 9 of 2013 while playing for Danny
Hatcher.
Meanwhile, arguably the two worst teams in the league early
in the season faced off this past week. Nolan Soter got solid production from
Demaryius Thomas and San Diego tight end Hunter Henry. Matt Jones scored 23
points, the third-highest running back total for the week, for Sean Kennedy but
the rest of his team fell flat as he dropped to 0-4 and Nolan notched his first
win of the campaign.
Not that it matters at all, but all six “road” teams won in
week four. Only Anthony Battle put up a point total in the top 40 all-time. His
132.3 points were good for 31st in league history. Along with that
accomplishment, Anthony was also the only owner with a top five scorer at every
offensive position. Joe Flacco (3rd QB), Ezekiel Elliott (2nd RB), Antonio
Brown (4th WR), and Jordan Reed (1st TE) were all big contributors in the win
over Cory Puffett.

Game of the Week: Brandon
Saunders at Eric Meyer
In a battle between the two strongest drafters this season,
Brandon Saunders had some big performances to earn an easy victory over Eric
Meyer. A.J. Green outscored Eric’s entire receiving corps while Ben
Roethlisberger and Greg Olsen both turned in top two performances at their
positions for the week.
