Week 2 Scoreboard

@chrisdco 93 v @gregsauce 78

Unfortunately for Greg, Chris Johnson threw up another one for the books with 2 FPTS total and the injury to Ahmad Bradshaw obviously didn’t help. I felt good after Thursday though as the Packers D scored 18 points for me. Fitzgerald gave me another head-scratcher and I wonder when Gresham will start running the correct routes. A win is a win though, and I’ll take it. Good news for Greg is that Danny Amendola has come up and should be ready to contribute for him. Depending on how serious this Rams team is, I think he’ll be fantasy relevant. That’s instant depth at WR with an extra WR2 to juggle with.

@Chet_G 97 v @mikebaumsays 99

Another nail biter here folks. Chet’s Foster-Richardson combo put up 45 big points for him but wasn’t enough to take Mike out even with Julio Jones scoring a measly 1 FPT. Michael Vick came back with 23 FPTS as Peyton threw 3 picks in the Monday night game. Victor Cruz was the main factor here, obviously proving to everyone that he’s still the same Cruz that gives fans a lot to salsa for. It might be too early to tell but I think Chet might need other options at QB, Peyton has averaged 15 FPTS in 2 games and a week 3 match up against the Texans doesn’t sound too appealing.

@BraudeM and @AsherMolk 111 v @thenotoriousmob 55

The bomb of the week goes to the Mob this week scoring almost half of his opponents’ score. Horrible games from Aaron Rodgers, Adrian Peterson and Andre Johnson. All three of which, appears in Mob’s starters. It’s going to be tough calls week to week for the Mob too shuffling between the 3 WR’s plus Decker and Wright. Mike and Asher on the other hand, had an explosive night overall. The only problem they have right now is not knowing who to start between Bush, Spiller and Ryan Mathews who’s coming back in week 3. I’d say I wouldn’t mind having that problem any week. It’s going to be very good for the duo going forward as A.J. Green and Dez Bryant haven’t even exploded yet.

@Orangebru 122 v @CDCarter13 80

After scoring a league low 52 points last week, Jeff comes back with a massacre against Denny in week 2. Forget that Matt Forte was injured, or that Jamal Charles scored 1 FPT, or that playing Alshon Jeffrey was a mistake. The entire lineup went crazy. I was lucky I caught Jeff in a bad week. RG3 goes off for 31, Nicks had a crazy game, Vernon Davis scored 2 TD’s and both the Seahawks D and Mason Crosby just added gravy. Problems arise now for Denny as Aaron Hernandez gets injured and will be out for a few, he picked up Dennis Pitta to cover for it. I’ve said it before, Denny had a well balanced game and if it wasn’t for the injury he should’ve scored around 90.

@ToTheMax15 122 v @Sports_25toLife 91

It was a decent outing for Scott in week 2 but in this league I guess decent hardly ever cuts it. Max chucked up a lot of points again scoring the most in week 2 with 122. It seems like everything is just going his way right now. Frank Gore seems like he found the fountain of youth again, the Falcon offense is gun slinging with Max having two of their options and Eli Manning, is just being Eli Manning when he wants to. Scott could’ve had a better week I’d say, Ben Tate scored a monster 21 FPTS this week, but even if he was started 122 points is almost a guaranteed W. I don’t see a problem for him going forward though, Scott has huge depth at his disposal so I’m not expecting a losing streak to start anytime soon.

@Kevin__Hall 80 v @ExpertFantasyGM 69

Kevin is hanging around pretty well I got to admit, managing to grab the W after scoring just 80 points. He needs Greg Jennings and Pierre Garcon back. A few bright spots in this game, Denver has come to prove that they will run the ball a lot still, McGahee turns in a good performance with 24 FPTS, 2 TDs. Dwayne Bowe seems to be getting his groove back for Brice showing some chemistry with Matt Cassel in garbage time scoring 2 TD’s in a losing effort. Brice just scores 69 this week and could not afford two 0’s in the process. Jeremichael Finley can’t be the Finley of 2011 again or Brice is in some trouble.

Standings after Week 2:

Get ready for Week 3 folks! Good luck!
