Tom Deskovitz of South Lyon, Mich., compiles the Fantasy Index Newsblast each weekday (you can see it on the front page of the website, although you have to deliberately click on it). All that work must do some good, because Tom beat the pack and put up the high score in the Super League in Week 5. Tom got big days from Eli Manning, Tom Brady and Antonio Gates, and he managed to avoid Jamaal Charles. Besides finishing No. 1 for the week, Tom vaulted into third place in the overall standings.
