Freaks of the Week: 2011 Week 17
 | QB | Matt Flynn | |
| In only his 2nd career start he was able to set franchise records for passing yards (480) and touchdowns (6). Flynn put on a show for all prospective teams looking to sign a QB in the off-season since he'll be an unrestricted free agent after this season. He completed 31 of 44 passes for 480 yards, 6 touchdowns and only 1 interception against a very solid Detroit pass defense. We'll have to wait and see what happens in the off-season but there will be many teams looking to sign him after this awesome performance. | |||
 | QB | Matthew Stafford | |
| Stafford would have had the best game of the week if it hadn't of been for his opponent, Matt Flynn! Flynn scored a whopping 43 fantasy points with Stafford right behind him with 40 points. It was by far Stafford's best game of the year and his 3rd 30+ fantasy point game of the season. He throw for 5 touchdowns for the second time this season with the other coming in week 11 against Carolina. It was also his 4th straight game with a QB rating of 100+. Stafford finished the season with 5,047 total passing yards, 41 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. | |||

He complete 28 of 35 passes for 389 yards and 5 touchdowns in the Saints routing of the Carolina Panthers. Here are some other awesome stats, 3rd game in a row scoring 42+ points against their opponents, 6th 40+ point game of the season as a team, 4th 30+ fantasy point game and 2nd 5-passing touchdown game. Brees ended the 2011 season with 5,476 passing yards, 46 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. It will be a tight race between him and Aaron Rodgers for MVP honors this season. | |||
