Fantasy Football Report - Week 11

Huge week for Corn on the Kolb in Week 11 as no player put up fewer than 7 points and not even a relatively quiet game from DeMarco Murray could slow us down. The win improves us to 8-3 and clinches a Drydock League Record 11th straight postseason appearance. It appears our lineup is pretty much locked in for the rest of the way with the one exception being Julio Jones vs Greg Little. If Jones gets healthy, he'll play, if not I'm content to go with the rookie out of North Carolina. At running back, it looks like we're back to Reggie Bush since neither Jackie Battle or Kregg Lumpkin can be relied upon and who knows when Jahvid Best will ever be cleared to play again. So this is it. We'll see if this group can get us out of the first round for the first time since 2004.

So here we are with two weeks to go in the regular season with five teams locked into the postseason, and essentially six teams still actively trying to clinch one of the final three spots.

Congratulations to Mario for finally getting his first win of the season. Now if only his Colts could win a game... Anyhow, here's a look at Week 11's Top Performers:

QB - Matthew Stafford overcame a pair of interceptions to throw for 335 yards and FIVE touchdown passes as Detroit defeated a feisty Carolina squad 49-35. Fantasy Points: 35
