Not if my team plays as well as they did this week

[Crimson Lego]

True; bye weeks aren't until Week 4 so you have a good chance at that.



It looks I'm projected to lose against Ken next week, so I'll have to make some changes tomorrow.

I hath reunited Shizzawn Mizzitchel with his email address. Rejoice!

[Crimson Lego]

Rejoice? Now he'll just win more.

Jealous?

[canas is back]

He only is because your score is bigger than his

[Crimson Lego]

Ermahgerd, after watching some of this game I'm actually nervous now that Showsni's gonna beat me.

[deep]

Well that's your own damn fault for playing Jaquizz Rodgers.

[Sir Deimos]

Lol. Jaquizz.

[deep]

Ouch, Leo!

OUCH.

McGahee TD to put Showsni up by 2 points.

[Crimson Lego]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

[deep]

Two words: Jacquizz Rodgers.

[Crimson Lego]

Ikr? Turns out I also had Pierre Thomas on my roster sitting on the bench; no idea what I was thinking.

EDIT: Oh this is so embarrassing I might even end up bottom-last.

Week 2 wrap-up!

First up is the closest match of the week, which Sean and I were keeping tabs on just past midnight last night. Showsni's team was my dark horse for taking the whole league, but his dudes have been underperforming on the whole. This week was almost no different! His RBs flopped, but he was saved by some pretty amazing luck and Willis McGahee.

Leo, on the other hand, left a bunch of points on the bench, unfortunately. Mental mistakes from our resident football nerd! I think if he plays Thomas and Dalton next week he's golden.

Up next is our only other close match, Elven v me(ep).

Elven lost Aaron Hernandez before he could score any points, which is a huge bummer. Hopefully he's healthy soon. Meanwhile, Elven needs to think about a new TE. He JUST SO HAPPENS to have Kellen Winslow already on his team, who the Patriots just signed as Hernandez's replacement TODAY. Autodraft can see the FUTURE.

I continue to get lucky with RGIII, but I'm thinking that luck's gonna run out soon. I'm shocked and appalled that Fitzgerald, my second-round pick, is doing so dismally. I've got some roster moves to ponder. My trade for Percy Harvin with Leo has certainly paid off, though. I also hold the distinct displeasure of benching 35-point-scorer Danny Amendola like a CHUMP.

Because he is a gentleman, the blowout Vet engineered was the most merciful. He quietly put up almost 150 points and is going to be a scary dude to contend with on a weekly basis.

Ken got bad news on all sides. Just about every member of his team underperformed. You'll recall how well he did last week, too. Sometimes that's just how things work out. I will say that he should probably get rid of Ryan Williams right quick.

Another monumental and perplexing flop, CFS's team of juggernauts didn't do him any favors this week. Brandon Marshall was held in check pretty effectively. Let's hope that's not a trend. And Ahmad Bradshaw went down with a neck injury that might hold him out a few weeks. Not all things were bad luck though; Domenik Hixon was just a questionable choice. And Oakland's defense!

While I won't venture a guess as to why Benzen thought that Coby Fleener would be a good choice, I don't think anyone figured Rodgers would barely break 10, Julio (after scoring 30 last week) would be good for 5; whereas his RBs would combine for 55 damn points. Or Green Bay's defense for 23! This week was a fluke for sure, but it probably felt good. Get a new TE dude.

---

canas made good on his threats and utterly wasted Tsume this week. Heyward-Bey's passable performance looks downright awful compared to the ridiculous scores his dudes put up. Don't expect 30 out of Bowe on a regular basis, or 25 out of Tate, or 34 out of Bush, or 24 out of Vernon Davis, but be wary of their ability to do this shit on a weekly basis. canas's stars just aligned this week, but he's still slated to score a ton of points on you.

Rob played two hurt dudes, and made three questionable RB choices. That said, Luck is starting to produce, and Victor Cruz made an insane comeback from last week. And look at Buffalo's defense bouncing back! It's not all doom and gloom here.

---

Sean might be the only person who actually benefited vastly from his main RB getting hurt. Mr. Best-Draft came out swinging this week, riding on his two Giants and the piles of offense the team racked up against Tampa Bay (I should not have told him to play Nicks and Spiller). Sean is set to come for all out buttholes with this line-up. No thanks.

He and canas are duking it out next week, which should be absolutely bonkers.

Fish just got unlucky. He played a hurt WR, but got some iffy performances out of his RB core. What's more is Redman may be out of his starting RB job soon. Fish has some choices to mull over.

Standings after Week 2:

Poor Rob and Ken, who have the most points scored against them. Some of us (Sean, Vet, Benzen... Me) haven't had too many points scored against us. Them's the breaks.

[Veteran]

YUSSSSS!

I'm not the best at fantasy football. I have no problem admitting that. I knew I had a problem with my TE and DEF after week one. I tried looking among the free agents and waivers. I'm think I'm going to need to look for a trade.

[Crimson Lego]

CFS I noticed you have Pittsburgh defense on bench; why not start them instead of Oakland?

[Sir Deimos]

Yes. Given yesterday Leo is the one to listen to. XD

I hope I didn't come off as disparaging. Your bench is actually kind of thin. I think you did a great job picking up Chandler for your TE. Now that I'm looking, you pretty much made all the right decisions considering the people you had available, you just hit some rough patches. If you look at my predictions for the GB/CHI game earlier in the thread, almost all of them were wrong. We're all bad at fantasy football, because it's all conjecture.

As for trading/new players-- You have 4 great RBs on your team, but you're shallow at WR. Either pick up a couple WRs, or look to trade away one of your RBs for a WR or two.

[Oberon Storm]

No disparage here. Part of the problem is my guys had an off week, so they couldn't compensate for the few slightly spoiled apples.

[Crimson Lego]

Wow...Andre Brown got DP a ton of points. o_o Surprising considering he's a backup.

[canas is back]

well the main is out for the week.

[deep]

Leo man, you gotta keep up.

Also, I totally should've played Barden. I snapped him up in a few leagues, so at least I kept him from scoring all that for other people.

[Crimson Lego]

Well I knew that Bradshaw was injured, I just didn't expect Brown to play so well.



Then again, it was Carolina defense.

[Crimson Lego]

Wow....judging by the performances so far I might actually go 0-3.



Embarrassing.

EDIT: Ok nvm, it's just Romo everyone else is doing alright.

It's been pretty tight, I was expecting sf to do better and Reggie let me down a little this week, come on mr. Bush bring your A-game next time

[Crimson Lego]

I feel most sorry for Ken, he got 0 points out of a projected 13 for Kevin Smith; like, at least I got 7 from Romo.



Next week for sure I'm starting all my Bengals players since they play against Jacksonville which has defense horrendiso.

[canas is back]

Man my guys are just riddled with sub par performances

Reggie went down hurt, canas, you insensitive jerk.

[Sir Deimos]

DP. I laughed so hard it triggered a coughing fit.
