Final Phantasy: Week 10 Round-Up

Last week I took on two losses, this week I came out a winner in both leagues. Only the second time that has happened this season. Both leagues were filled with close match-ups due to some poor play and even more so were injuries to key fantasy contributors. Each league has one team leading the pack by one game with many others fighting it out for the last few playoffs slots remaining. Hard to believe we only have a few weeks left before the playoffs begin. Teams should be well stocked for the final stretch as we are all finished with bye weeks and the real football heating up as they battle it out for playoff spots and home field advantage.

Here is how both leagues played out during Week 10.

• ESPN League (Week 10)

Chicago PackerKillerz- 88 I'm Butt Headed- 79

The PackerKillerz (2-8) won their second in a row despite having two players on byes in their starting line-up. The team was led to victory by this trio; the Ravens D/ST (24), Steven Jackson (23) and Kurt Warner (21) with their respective points.
