How Did We Do?


Let’s check out how the Benchwarmers’ Studs, Duds and Sleepers faired in week 15. (Point totals based on standard league scoring format)
Studs
Drew Brees - 25 Points (307 Pass Yards, 4 Passing TDs, 11 Rush Yards)
Cam Newton – 17 Points (231 Pass Yards, 2 Passing TDs)
Jamaal Charles – 2 Points (10 Rush Yards, 18 Receiving Yards)
Adrian Peterson – 27 Points (212 Rush Yards, 1 Rush TD)
Doug Martin – 2 Points (16 Rush Yards, 19 Receiving Yards)
Vincent Jackson – 8 Points (81 Receiving Yards)
Andre Johnson – 21 Points (151 Receiving Yards, 1 Receiving TD)
Brandon Marshall – 11 Points (56 Receiving Yards, 1 Receiving TD)
Jimmy Graham – 6 Points (69 Receiving Yards)
Tony Gonzalez -    10 Points (49 Receiving Yards, 1 Receiving TD)
Duds
Philip Rivers – 8 Points (121 Pass Yards, 1 Pass TD)
Matthew Stafford – 3 Points (246 Pass Yards, 3 INTs)
Frank Gore -  17 Points (83 Rushing Yards, 34 Receiving Yards, 1 FRTD)
Stevan Ridley – 0 Points (23 Rushing Yards, 1 Fumble Lost)
Roddy White – 1 Point (16 Receiving Yards)
Reggie Wayne – 1 Point (14 Receiving Yards)
Dez Bryant – 11 Points (59 receiving Yards, 1 Receiving TD)
Jermichael Finley – 6 Points (61 Receiving Yards)
Jason Witten – 10 Points (43 Receiving Yards, 1 Receiving TD)
Sleepers
Mark Sanchez - -1 Point (131 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 4 INTS, 1 Fumble Lost)
Kirk Cousins – 21 Points (329 Passing Yards, 2 Passing TDs, 22 Rushing Yards)
C.J. Spiller – 16 Points (103 Rush Yards, 1 Rush TD)
Ryan Mathews – 2 Points (22 Rush Yards)
Eric Decker – 19 Points (133 Receiving Yards, 1 Receiving TD)
Lance Moore – 10 Points (42 Receiving Yards, 1 Receiving TD)
Josh Gordon – 2 Points (27 Receiving Yards)
Brandon Myers – 1 Point (15 Receiving Yards)
Kyle Rudolph – 2 Points (22 Receiving Yards)


Of the 10 Studs, four put up exceptional games (15+ points), three put up average games (8-14 points), and three disappointed (7 points or less)
Of the 9 Duds, one had an exceptional game, four had average games, and four had disappointing games.
Of the 9 Sleepers, three had exceptional games, one had an average games, and five had disappointing games.
All in all, the Benchwarmers hit eleven predictions on the head, were in the ballpark with eight more, and completely whiffed on nine. 
And what is the big takeaway from all of this?  The Raiders and Chiefs suck, Frank Gore owners lucked out with his fluke fumble recovery TD, and if you Mark Sanchez is your best option at QB, then don’t start a QB that week. 
Check back next Sunday!
