While the records race has been decided, the points race still remains fairly tight. Paul maintains his lead after a high-scoring win over Eddie, with Tony Romo and Andre Johnson doing the most damage in that game. He leads Dan T. by roughly 27 points and Uncle Joe by about 58 points. It's still anybody's game at this point, but you'd have to consider Paul the front runner. He has a decent sized lead over Uncle Joe, and Dan's team, while it keeps on steamrolling opponents, is riddled with injuries, with DeAngelo Williams now being added to the scrapheap. Two weeks to go, and it will be interesting to see which of these two-time records champions will take the points title.
In other action, Kevin came out of nowhere to hang 160+ points on Jeremie in an upset, with Big Ben Roethlisberger and his 500-yard performance giving him big points. Chris and Dan L. put on quite a show, with Chris coming out on top thanks to Maurice Jones-Drew and Jamaal Charles coming through with flying colors (looks like there isn't any question Chris was right to take MJD over AP with the first pick). The game between Marc and Mike wasn't close, as Marc stuck it to his foe behind a monster performance by Aaron Rodgers in what would be the "ass raping of the week." And finally, Tom's team still sucks as he fell to Nick and Jonathan Stewart.
