Week 5 Final Score

The bye week took its toll on fantasy teams this week, but it also threw the Stubborn OXen off.

In the usual Weekly Draft, Stally missed two of six picks, while Austen missed four of seven.  The inaccuracy carried over to the Pick 'Em with the two combining for a mere .500 record, with Austen posting a disappointing 6-7.  With the final scorecard tallied up, Stally sweeps the three categories for the second time in as many weeks to open up a formidable lead.

Ironically, Austen's now lost three straight weeks in tandem with the Jets (perhaps it's not a coincidence) and seems to be mimicking their outcome.  You assume he'll be hoping for a turnaround both on the field and the blog as the Jets host the Dolphins in what threatens to be the second Monday night clunker of the season for Miami.

But, that's this coming week, here's the scorecard from Week 5:
