Week 2 - ACL Tears & Nordo Loses By 100

 



In a week riddled with injuries where we saw many high profiled players go down we were no short of story lines. We had bad starts (Paul), bad matchups (Nordo), and most importantly a late in-the-week stat correction that not only awarded Paul the Win last week, but also got him the $25 weekly category of beating opponent by smallest margin of victory. 



I suppose it does come with a cost in losing Saquon after that close one last week.. 





David keeping Derrick Henry must hurt that much more for Paul who was going to select him with the third overall pick. Tough.




Matchups




Dude Where's My Carson? defeats I Lockett Alot in one of the biggest beat downs we've seen in fantasy football history occurred this past week. We almost had out first 100 point loss, but McCaffrey getting hurt was the reason Nordo did not lost by 100 points. A truly remarkable feat if you realize he has the leading MVP candidate in Russ Wilson who oh btw was the third leading scorer in the matchup with 43.9 pts! That's 1/3 of his points! Imagine starting Adrian Peterson and taking yourself seriously as a manager? I guess that's why he was forced to trade with the trade Guru Jahns. 

A dominate day by Aaron Jones and Dak Prescott miraculous comeback against the Falcons is what did him in. I hope the Falcons look that bad next week for Mitch and the Boys.






You're welcome. It was nice watching the game with you at Pete's Place and swearing at the TV every time RedZone came on like the degenerates we are.  And would you change your team name? You don't even have Lockett this year. 




The Flemchise defeats Roll The Hard Six  on some MNF heroics from Alvin Kamara who should continue to win Flem matchups, as long as Michael Thomas is out and Drew Brees can't throw longer than 5 yards. 


A big win after a tough stat correction last week puts this team at 1-1, and with Golladay poised to come back soon this team could string together a nice winning streak.


A tough loss for Irwin who saw huge weeks from Mostert and Ridley, who is the WR1 in fantasy right now. You would've liked to get to 2-0 by those huge performances, is it time to give up on your keeper Carson Wentz who comes in as the QB26 2 weeks into fantasy... Joe is a passionate man and loves to stay true to his guys, but you gotta think one more week like this from Wentz and he's gone. 



"Wentz had a passer rating of 72.5 against Washington and 56.5 against the Rams. He’s the only NFL quarterback who’s had a rating below 73 in two starts this year. In fact, every other QB in the NFL has had a rating below 73 a combined six times and Wentz twice. So he’s responsible for 25 percent of the sub-73 passer ratings in the entire league this year." 



Odell's Poop Fetish defeats All Mahomies in a much needed win after getting embarrassed last week on National Television.



Higbee, Odell & Ekeler made up for the week 1 let down in large fashion. A nice team win to get this manager to 1-1 heading into week 3 matchup against a Saquon-less Paul team. The Kyler Murray to Deandre Hopkins TD is going to be fun to watch grow this year. 




Higbee could've won me 1 million dollars in fanduel *if I had played him 




I imagine this is the last week we see Peter's team roster both Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. With both these QB's playing against one another in week 3 MNF matchup, you just gotta think he can't take this tough decision making too much longer. In the wise words of my man Timmons from The Sandlot 


"I Blame Myself"


Drafting Mahomes in the first was shocking, but we all kinda expected (and wanted) it to happen. The difference between hosting these two players on your team this year vs. last year is evident. It will be a sad day when one of these QB's can't sit on your bench every week, but I'm sure Jahns will give you his top 3 draft picks and his next few pay checks for one of them. 




Trades for Days defeats Jahnsy Stackedhouse with solid weeks from Melvin Gordon, Dalvin Cook, Kelce and Pittsburgh Defense - who I believe could be the reason this team makes a case for the championship this year. Pitt has the best defense in NFL since last year's Patriots. 


💥 T.J. Watt
💥 Myles Garrett
💥 Khalil Mack

The one question I have for this manager is why are you sitting Deshaun Watson? I get he's playing against the Ravens D, but Tom Brady is currently the QB23 and what I consider to be the worst pick on draft night. With opponents in Denver, Chargers, and the Bears coming up for Brady I expect him to be outside the top 20QB in each of those weeks. Oh I also forgot to mention this manager has Cam Newton!






I have been chomping at the bit waiting all day to write this portion of the blog because I want to take a second and talk about Jahns' team. First off, change your team name. You are no longer stackedhouse and you are 0-2. Anyone who is 0-2 and has their own name in their fantasy team name immediately needs to think of something just as not-so-clever. 


These jerseys are fire

I do appreciate the entertainment and trades to the league, it is a nice breath of fresh air when someone is as determined as you are to complete trades year in and year out. With that being said, it's time to take a deep breath of that fresh air I was referring to. Look yourself in the mirror. And ask. What year is it?



Rob Gronkowski
Greg Olsen
Drew Brees
Todd Gurley
T.Y. Hilton
Juju Smith-Schuster

Does this look like a team that will win you a championship in the year 2020, or in the year 2017? 

Take a look at what Gronk and Olsen did for you this week. 





That 0.1 points  for each. That's 2 targets between the 2 of them. I understand you weren't present at the draft, but there are currently 49 better Tight Ends in fantasy than Gronk, as he comes in at TE50. 


I could have sworn you also tried drafting Tony Gonzalez on draft night, but someone mentioned he retired 6 years ago and is in the Hall of Fame. 




I mean look at his facemask! Those aren't even legal in the NFL anymore and you tried rostering him with Gronk and Olsen.



Fun fact about Tony Gonzalez. His wife's name is October. Are you kidding me? Only the hottest people are named after months, especially spooky ones. 






The Other Guys defeats DraftStoshAllen.com with a huge week from Matt Ryan, Darren Waller, & D.K. Metcalf. Hopefully Matt Ryan doesn't do that against the Bears next week. David's gotta be happy with DJ Moore and DK Metcalf putting up some consistent numbers this year and not having to depend so heavily on his RB's.



David, if I found out you didn't read the blog this week I will be excommunicating you from the group chat. Something I know you fear as much as fear itself. 


Paul - if you decide to sit Josh Allen ever again I will be removing you from the league and handing your team over to Stosh to manage. It's in your own fantasy name Stosh Allen! Josh Allen could win MVP this year and you sat him against the Miami Dolphins. Serves you right you lost this week as he put up 48 points and that would have awarded you the W against David.
