DeAngelo Williams sends me to defeat

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

DeAngelo Williams

Now you would think with an 8 point lead going into the last game of the Fantasy Football playoffs and Steve Smith of Carolina on my team that victory is in the bag.

But my stinking opponent had DeAngelo Williams in the Carolina vs. Giants game.

Should be no problem, the Giants don’t give up a lot of rushing TDs.

And DeAngelo Williams has no history of scoring tons of TDs. Except this year he went from 4 touchdowns to 18 touchdowns. He is awesome.

Now to be fair to my player, Steve Smith, a perennial All Pro, if the game was this week instead of last week then victory would have been mine, but that is not what happened. Smith does have 43 receiving touchdowns in his career.

Williams had 4 touchdowns and over 100 yards against the Giants and 34 fantasy points and the Squibster lost and upset bid at first place.

Here are their report cards from Charles Chandler of the Charlotte Observer.

RUNNING BACKS – A
DeAngelo Williams continued his late-season roll, making some amazing cuts. His 178 yards tied him for the second best single-game rushing performance in team history, and he also set a new single-season team record (1,515). Jonathan Stewart (56 yards) ran hard, too, getting away from four tacklers on a 16-yard gain. He also scored a TD. Kudos to fullback Brad Hoover for another good game blocking.

RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS – A
Steve Smith saved the day again with his acrobatic catch of a 39-yard pass to set up John Kasay’s game-winning field goal. Muhsin Muhammad had his third consecutive game with 70 or more receiving yards, and D.J. Hackett pitched in with two key catches after being inactive the previous three games.
