PLAYER OF THE WEEK: T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts
Statline: 5 rec, 175 yards, 2 TDs receiving
I'm stupid. This past week in fantasy football, I play in an 8 person league meaning that some of our teams are loaded and so is the free agency waiver wire. I did an under the radar trade trading my bench Eagles WR Nelson Agholor for Colts WR TY Hilton. I then benched Hilton and later that week, Chargers WR Keenan Allen became available on the waiver wire and so I added him and dropped Hilton. Of course, Hilton then goes on to have the best game of the season. Anyways, TY went off! The Colts WR rebounded from the slump he's been having for most of the season posting an insane game. Hilton had 5 catches for 175 yards and 2 TDs! That's a really good game for a receiver. Not only was that a ton of yards, but one of Hilton's plays was INSANE! Hilton caught the ball, began running, fell over. Everyone thought the play was over but then Hilton got up and ran into the endzone for a TD. It turns out no one had touched him meaning he wasn't down by contact meaning his insane 80 yard receiving TD counted. Hilton embarassed the Texans D just like a week before Seahawks WR Paul Richardson did. They are becoming exploitable and Hilton is the most recent WR to expose them. Hilton had a huge game that not many WR's have done this season. Hilton looked elite again and is becoming big help for young QB Jacoby Brissett who is starting to get the Colts under control in his first NFL starting season. Hilton had a great game and out of nowhere is my blogs player of the week!TEAM OF THE WEEK: Philadelphia Eagles (8-1)
Final Score: Eagles 51, Broncos 23
The Eagles have the best record in the NFL but are yet to win my blogs team of the week award, this week, they finally cash in for their first team of the week on my blog of the season. The Eagles looked better than ever this week and are starting to look like a dominant force in the NFL. Carson Wentz right now looks like the best QB in the NFL. In his second year, he is becoming an elite QB and since he's so young, he could be a force in the NFL for the next decade or two. Wentz had a great game. Eagles WR Alshon Jeffrey had his second great game in a row and is starting to find his place in the offense. Carson Wentz is starting to find him a lot more lately. Eagles RBs had a field day. New addition RB Jay Ajayi was supposed to have a limited role in his first game, he did but went off still. 78 yards and his first TD of the season. He had an insane 40+ yard TD scamper that looked really good but also showed off the Eagles no. 1 ranked O-line. Rookie RB Corey Clement had a 3 TD game. 2 rushing, one receiving. The offense played great. The defense also was great. They held off Brock Osweiler from having a great first game starting in Denver. They brought the pressure. Overall the Eagles team looks amazing and their latest game really showed it. The best team in the league has won their first team of the week award from my blog!
