Michael Fabiano at NFL.com puts into perspective just how strange Sunday was in the NFL fantasy world.
More Week 13 Wackiness
Three of the top-scoring players, Bruce Gradkowski, Jason Campbell and Brady Quinn, were active in a combined six percent of NFL leagues (Campbell made up for five percent). If you started any one of these three players, you’d have been rewarded with more points than Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. And the madness didn’t end there. The second-highest scoring running back of the week was Jerome Harrison! He was active in 10 percent of leagues. Harrison is also still a free agent in 62 percent of leagues, but that is certain to change now that he’s assumed the top spot on the Browns backfield depth chart.
Tons of points, but almost all sitting on the bench. Will any fantasy owner be brave enough to throw one of these guys into the fray next week, when the playoffs start?
Well, how about a few more names to make it even more interesting.
At the wide receiver spot, the two top scorers (Louis Murphy, Devin Thomas) were owned in a combined five percent of leagues and started in none.
