Maaaannnnnnn, I don't know if I just missed football that much or if these NFL games are just that good to watch. There were some big-time performances this week, including:
1. Derrick Henry: 47.7 points - Henry did this while missing 2 offensive lineman. Talk about a 2nd half explosion... Tennessee didn't even have a touchdown in the game until the 2nd half. It was as if, they had TFC's phone vibrate from a text - a gif from DK Country of Brock Lesnar kissing a WWE belt. Don't poke the bear........ and this case Derrick Henry was the bear.
***Aaron Jones: 41.5 points - If you follow @FFDojoSensei, every MNF he tweets out a bet he has placed. This week? Aaron Jones 2+ touchdowns. What an idiot - he shorted himself 2 more touchdowns and could have made a lot more money. Jones was definitely the focal point with the Lion determined to shut down any downfield passing. Huge end of the week for Jones... not to mention he and Kupp happened to be on the same team!
2. Cooper Kupp: 36.8 points - Who said that Run CMC was the only athletic white guy in the NFL? Kupp is averaging 30 points a week and is loving his new quarterback. Things change when you have a quarterback that knows how to actually throw a football rather trying to act in movies like "La La Land" and "The Notebook."
3. Kyler Murray: 33.1 Points - Murray has opened this season on an absolute tear. Murray has 7 passing touchdowns, 2 rushing touchdowns, and over 700 yards of total offense. Is Murray a one-man show? Is Murray the next coming of Christ? Is Kyler Murray untouchable in the trade market?
4. Lamar Jackson: 32.2 Points - There is only one quarterback that can say they have ever beaten Patrick Mahomes in the month of September.... ONLY ONE. Lamar Jackson put on a show last night - jump passes, scrambling, he may have even played defense. All I know, Jackson may finish as a top 5 rusher in the league this year..... and not just for quarterbacks.
5. Tom Brady: 3.6 seconds........ just the amount of time it takes for Brady to suck the youth from his own son. I won't post the original video (we have seen it enough), but Brady has to being something funky to stay this good for this long. Brady has 8 touchdowns in the first two weeks of the season - absolutely crazy.
Matchup of the Week
Church Vans (2-0) v The J-Bones (1-1)
Some teams just step up when the lights are the brightest.... some teams need that bulletin board material. Church Vans has taken offense to not being picked week after week, and it is working for them. However, eventually Brady will suck the last bit of youth out of his son and there will be nothing left for him to use. Until that happens, he will continue to absolutely dominate. The J-Bones had a decent week, nothing to be upset about.... at least they didn't score over 137 points and still lose!
Prediction: The J-Bones... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones... WRONG!!
The Fortune Cockies (1-1) v DK Country (1-1)
Thank-you Derrick Henry. This is how it went down in real time....
5:31 p.m. - TFC's phone gets a text from DK Country with the following gif and "Just need HHM to slow down a bit"
NEVER JINX YOURSELF!!
Prediction: The Fortune Cockies.... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: DK Country..... WRONG!!
Fresh Start* (2-0) v Dixie Normous (0-2)
In a battle of the former champions - Fresh Start display their dominance. Either that or somebody needs to take the old stallion out back and put him out his misery. I know that Dixie is not a fan of trading, but something has to give - you can't score 82 points each week and expect to win in this league. Kupp had a huge week this week, once again putting it down for the white guys. But who saw this coming from "2-Glove" Teddy? Bridgewater is quietly putting together a decent fantasy season; averaging 20 points a week and currently sitting as the 10th best QB.
*To be fair, this was written before MNF in order to try and save time. Buuuuttttt, HOLY SH*T - AARON JONES FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Prediction: Fresh Start... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Dixie Normous.... WRONG!!
Teardrop TD's (0-2) v Bluffton Backup Backups (2-0)
Poor Lamar Jackson. I am sure he is more concerned about his fantasy team's performance than his actual team's performance. This man went off - rushing and throwing the ball. The only problem, there is no help on the fantasy team. Teardrop is one of those teams that may be looking to flip one of their stars into a little more depth. On the flip side, BBB didn't have the best week - but they got the job done. They even had the job done before Swift played on MNF.
Prediction: Teardrop TD's.... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Bluffton Backup Backups.... RIGHT!!
Country Roads (2-0) v Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas* (1-1)
Scary Terry got the party started on TNF - I felt like every time I looked up I saw McLaurin catching a football. On top of that, Hurts is looking like a poor man's Lamar Jackson - all things considered, that is a not a bad place to be. On the flip side, ARBL is going from the top to the bottom. It ended up being bad luck and little opportunity. No matter how bad things got this week, there is no taking away the week 1 explosion.
Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas.... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas.... WRONG!!
Hernandez Hit Men (1-1) v Hoosier Daddy (1-1)
Not only did Hoosier Daddy have an off-week in terms of scoring - they happen to rub some salt in the wound and play against this week's 2nd top scorer. One would have thought that Allen and Diggs would have had bigger weeks if you were told that Buffalo won 35-0. But noooooo, instead HHM had a consistency across the board and amassing over 500 yards and 5 touchdowns among the positional players. That ain't bad - Hoosier Daddy will continue to tradition of finding its way against the some of the week's top scorers.
Prediction: Hoosier Daddy... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Hernandez Hit Men... RIGHT!!
Ankle Holster (0-2) v PEN15 Wrinkle (1-1)
Remember - reality is never as good as expectations? Talk about a real let down for Ankle Holster. Nobody really stepped up in a big way until MNF - by then it was already over. On the flip side, PEN15 is relying on the wide receivers and quarterback to carry his running backs. Neither of his running backs are averaging more than 7 points - flat out, that won't get it done in a big time matchup. Honestly, you may as well have the sailored mouth vixen close her eyes and pick the lineup - for Ankle Holster she might actually do better!
Prediction: Ankle Holster.... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster.... WRONG!!
Season: 5-9
Mystery Guest: 5-9
With Love,
Commish
