Did you win/lose because of Tom Brady?

Stat line of the week...

Tom Brady (QB-NE): 21 of 25 for 354 yards and 6 TDs

In most fantasy scoring formats, Brady's stats probably equaled around 45-50 points...and probably 45-50% of a teams fantasy points. If can't imagine a scenario in which an owner had Brady and still managed to lose. If you were playing against Brady (made even worse if that owner also had Randy Moss and/or Wes Welker), I pity you. In all four of my leagues I somehow managed to avoid playing any of those players...so thankfully this week I was able to cheer for 100% of team to dominate the lowly Miami Dolphins.

Other than the out-of-this-world stats posted by Tom Brady, this week was a rather pedestrian week in the world of fantasy football. However, here's a recap of a few players who went above and beyond in Week 7:

Rob Bironas (K-TEN): 8 field goals, plus 2 extra points.
Set the NFL record for field goals in a game. In standard kicker scoring formats, he had 29 points...a number you'll most likely never see a kicker get again.

Kenny Watson (RB-CIN): 130 rushing, 3 TDs and 3 receptions for 27 yards
Should there be a running back controversy when Rudi Johnson is healthy enough to return to action?

Earnest Graham (RB-TB): 92 rushing, and 13 receptions for 99 yards
Thirteen receptions from a running back who had totaled 10 receptions in the previous 6 games combined?!

Wes Welker (WR-NE): 9 receptions for 138 yards and 2 TDs
When Brady throws 6 touchdowns...

Laveranues Coles (WR-NYJ): 8 receptions for 133 yards and 2 TDs
How did the Jets lose this game?

Randy Moss (WR-NE): 4 receptions for 122 yards and 2 TDs
Did you see these two touchdown grabs? Ridiculous.

Roddy White (WR-ATL): 8 receptions for 110 yards and 1 TD
I'm only putting him here because it's a) Atlanta and b) Roddy White.
