Let's dive right into the match ups..

White Claw Variety Packs vs Team Flemming

125.8 to 120.5

Easily the best team name so far, still some teams left to change their name and I would love to see some seasonal variety in the team names this year, have fun with it.

Top Performers

1. Leveon Bell - 21.6 Points

Bell is still the same bull cow running back he was in Pittsburgh. 

A nice shoe string catch should provide dividends for this manager in a half-point ppr campaign.

2. Alshon Jeffery - 21.2 Points

Miss having this guy in the locker room

I think everyone was on pins & needles watching the Eagles go down big against the Redskins, only for Wentz to start making some throws. Jeffery had an OK day... If he doesn't score TD he finishes with 4 Receptions for under 50 yards.

Desean Jackson on the other hand (who White Claws benched) finished with over 150 yards and 2 TD's....Yikes 

3. Buffalo Defense/Special Teams - 20.2 Points

4 Sacks, 8 Tackles for Loss, 1 Fumble Recovery, 8 PA, 249 YA, Punter avg 43 yds

Team Flemming

1. Russel Wilson - 22 pts 

Top scorer both on and off the field. Wilson is boring, Ciara is the most exciting part about drafting this guy.

2. Seahawks Defense/Special Teams - 18.4 pts

Clowney eating Dalton for sack lunch 

3. Allen Robinson - 17 pts

Wish I had more to post about A-Rob..just not in the mood.. the one bright side of the game was him and Mitch had a real connection, should turn out to be a big year for this DUO.

Why team won: Flemming's team had 4 different people score 0 points (all on his bench), but just shows you the lack of depth for this team currently. That's the gamble you take drafting guys with unknowns, team should bounce back on the back of zeke and company. Also not every week Bills Defense out-scores most position players. 

To Khalil a Mackingbird vs Dude, Where's My Carson?

134.8 to 147.2

2 iconic movies

Top Performers

To Khalil a Mackingbird 

1. Deandre Hopkins - 31.4 pts

I had a comfortable lead heading into the Monday night game and I was still scared Deandre would get 50 points for a comeback win. Speaking of... how about that Houston comeback? 

Oh wait.. Brees does it again on Monday Night! 

2. Kyler Murray - 30.6 pts

Did not look great to start, but Murray lead the Cardinals back to push their game against the Lions to OT where they would ultimately Tie. Murray had 54 Passing attempts, 54! 

Back to playing in the BIG12 days. Would love to see this team run more *cough David Johnson cough*. Murray has potential to be Deshaun Watson-esque if they can surround him with similar talent. 

3. Bears Defense/Special Teams - 18.8 pts 

Here is a video of every bears sack against the packers to hold you over until Denver game..

(click the word video ^above if you are slow like Jahns).

 

Top Performers

Dude, Where's My Carson?

1. Evan Engram - 27 pts

2. David Johnson - 23.9 pts

Thanks to Kyler his day was salvaged, a bit of a risky pick but as long as the volume is there this RB should produce weekly.

3. Amari Cooper - 23 pts

Why team won: 66 pts of dude where's my carson? points came from the Dallas vs. Giants Game - gotta love the NFC east 3:25 pm games!

99 Problems But Mitch Ain't One vs Team Jahnsy Rico

142.7 to 158

Top Performers

99 Problems But Mitch Ain't One 

I think Mitch just so happened to be all 99 problems this week. 

1. Carson Wentz - 40.5 pts

Potential MVP candidate this year if healthy 

2. Mark Ingram II - 25.7 pts 

First play from scrimmage absolutely bull dozes dolphins defenders 

This kid and Lamar are gonna BALL this year 

3. Baltimore Defense/Special Teams - 23.2 pts

Not every week you get to play the Dolphins

Honorable Mention - Will Lutz 58 Yard Game Winner against the Houston Texans  

Top Performers

Team Jahnsy Rico

An all around dominant performance, this team sets the tone taking the first week's highest scorer. 

1. Drew Brees - 30.7 pts

Not much else to say about this QB. Time and time again we've seen him make that drive in the 4th quarter with under a minute left. A tale as old as time. 

2. Dalvin Cook - 28.2 pts

Must watch this link to see Dalvin Cook highlights. He is possibly the scariest rusher in the NFL, good luck standing in this guys way.

21 carries for 111 yards and 2 TD's - wow

3. Keenan Allen - 25.8 pts 

Great catch by Allen between multiple Colts Defenders this past Sunday. 

Why team won: All skill position players showed up as well as Brees and Kamara killing it down the stretch to solidify the W and win highest scorer this week.

Team Noradin vs Gurls Gone Wild

111.9 to 137.9

Top Performers

Team Noradin (plz change name) looks like your team needs some RB help.. I know just the manager

1. Dak Prescott - 46 pts


Can you believe this guy... is Dak's offensive coordinator? Lmao












Dallas vs Philly who ya got it NFC East ? Post your comment in comment section of blog.

2. Michael Thomas - 20.6 pts 

Loved seeing him and Deandre battle on Sunday night, perfect game to showcase both talents.
Almost feels like this team is Do-or-die this year? Brees and Thomas can hook up for a TD a game.





THIS GUY IS AN EFFING G !

3. J. Jones - 13.7 pts

Kind of a tough day for any team against the Vikings D, Jones held his own and probably comes out with a 'floor' game of 13 points. Ceiling for Jones on Any Given Sunday is 20 points plus. 

Top Performers

Gurls Gone Wild 

1. Deshaun Watson 37.4 pts

What an absolute thriller on Sunday night as mentioned, no reason this team shouldn't win their division. What a shame the Bears passed on this guy and Mahomes, makes me sick!

2. T.Y. Hilton - 26.6 pts

I know T.Y. and Luck were boys... and coming from a guy who drafted Luck, I knew T.Y. was going to come out and give it his all this game. Guy is an absolute monster and anyone can tell what him and Luck have put into the city of Indy over the years.. gotta feel for the guy. Good news is Brissett got paid an actual decent contract and him and T.Y. have a solid connection. Maybe some good trade bait if you want to get rid of him? Now's the time to do it!

Kinda reminds you of 2 great leaders? Real respect real type shit.

3. Greg Zeurlin (lol) - 14 pts 

Why team won: Similarly to the offensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys who can't be taken seriously since he looks like a child, what kind of child... would start ANY defense against the Chiefs? Nordo, that's who.

Team Maniscalco vs Dozed Off

 149.6 to 121.3

I would NOT recommend dozing off while choosing your flex position against any of these two teams. Both are setup to make a nice playoff push and certainly have the capability to win a lot of money during the regular season.

Top Performers

Team Maniscalco - Whassup Mahomes?

1. Christian McCaffrey - 42 pts

19 carries, 128 Rushing Yards, 10 receptions, 81 Receiving Yards, 2 TD's. What more could you ask for? Breakfast? 

I fuggin love this kid

Read more about his historical week 1 performance here

2. Patrick Mahomes - 41.1 pts

3. Josh Jacobs - 24.9 pts 

Should be a rookie running back stud, hopefully Montgomery can compete with this kid. If not, he can run away with the ROTY award if Kyler doesn't take it.

Top Performers

Dozed Off

1. Derick Henry - 32.6 pts

Just when everyone and their mother was hyper for the Browns to win the superbowl this year Derrick Henry and Mark Vrabel stepped up and shut them the fuck up.














Great game and clock management for the Titans against the Browns this past week. Can they keep it up? Another guy similar to T.Y. Hilton I might be trying to sell early as a fantasy owner because these guys were able to score so many points week 1. The time is nigh to sell high.

2. Saquon Barkley - 18.5 pts

Best Running back since Barry Sanders and there's no If's And's or But's about it.

3. Harrison Butker (lol) - 17 pts 

"I just so happen to be the PAT kicker for Pat Mahomes' team who also may or may not have been bullied in High School."






Why team won: Mahomes, McCaffrey. End of story.
