Week 4: NFL Fantasy Results and Standings

Week 4 was a very interesting week where the underdog teams almost won their games. The results are as follows:

Hoof Hearted squeezed one more win to protect its winning record. Hoof got a scare of his life, the team was afraid of getting its 1st loss (just like a boxer that we all know). The team was only leading the Ilong_rangers team by only 30 points after all the Sunday games. Ilong_rangers had a opportunity to win the game with Tom Brady and Wes Welker playing on the Monday Night Football game. Both players can rack up fantasy points and they showed it on the 1st half of the game where Brady was targeting Welker on almost every drive. Hoof still has Brandon Marshall playing but he didn't have any catches on the 1st half so he has no point contribution. The 1st half ended with Miami leading the Patriots 7-6 but the game ended with the Patriots winning the game 41-14. Don't let the score fool you, the points didn't come from Brady or Welker and Hoof Hearted got the win.

Team Galactica got its 1st win of the season over Ginebra by 21 points. Ginebra was able to acquire Michael Vick from the waiver wire and was hoping another monster game from him. Unfortunately, Vick got injured on the 1st half and only provided 3 fantasy points. Galactica was up by almost 40 points and was sitting pretty after all the Sunday games. Galactica and Ginebra had a player each on the Monday Night Football game, Galactica has Gostkowski (Patriots kicker) and Ginebra has the Patriots defense. The Patriots defense fueled the 'fantasy points' fire on the 2nd half for Ginebra with 4 interceptions and 3 touchdowns. Ginebra started to trim down Galactica's lead but Galactica has Gostkowski who was able to fight off Ginebra's fire. Gostkowski gave Galactica 11 points while the Patriots defense gave Ginebra 29 points. 

A 2nd week of heart breaker occurred on the Pang Asar lang and A-team's game. Pang Asar was leading A-team by only 5 points before the Monday Night's game. Pang Asar lang's players all played on Sunday but A-team still has Randy Moss and Brian Hartline for the MNF game. Moss is one of Tom Brady's favorite targets specially on long receptions and red zone drives. The Patriots had one last drive before the end of the 1st half and was moving the chains. With 14 seconds left and on Miami's 12, Tom Brady faked a spike and threw to Moss at the touchdown zone. Moss touched the ball but wasn't able to pull it in resulting an incompletion. Miami was able to prevent Moss from getting any catches on the 2nd half. Moss didn't add any fantasy point and Hartline only contributed 2 points to A-team thus Pang Asar lang escaping with a 3 point win.
