Not only one - one who played Dalvin Cook in the starting lineup. How do we get mad about someone who is still undefeated and plays a player that was ruled out well before the game. Not that it mattered - the only backup he had to put in for Cook was Singletary and he didn't exactly light up the scoreboard.
On the flip side, there are still multiple teams still struggling to get that first win. A few of them, it looks like it might take a few more weeks to finally get the win (Ankle Holster and Dixie Normous). Will this be the season when the playoff push is decided much sooner rather than later? Probably not. This is fantasy football!
Matchup of the Week
Fresh Start* (2-1) v Hoosier Daddy? (2-1)
Finally, a battle worthy of the Matchup of the Week. When the losing team nearly scores 130 points and has a player go off for 30 points on his own - you know this was one for the ages. The big question.... is Cooper Kupp the number one player in all of fantasy football? I know he is there now, but will he finish there? How about one for the white guys! In this matchup: Allen scored 37, Kupp scored 30, Thielen scored 17, both kickers combined for almost 30 points. Don't ask Dennis Rodman what he thinks about a white man dominating a sport....
Prediction: Hoosier Daddy?..... RIGHT!!

The Fortune Cockies (2-1) v Country Roads (2-1)
Was there any doubt? Darnold started the week off strong, with a big showing on Thursday Night. Then there was a steady showing throughout the lineup with Robinson finally having his breakthrough week. There is a lot of opportunity in TFC's lineup - on the flip side, Country Roads' has a top heavy starting lineup. With four players scoring over 20 points - Hurts/Kamara/Mattison/Jefferson. However, along with those top level players - multiple players scored less than 10 points: Cook/Sutton/Buccs/Butker. There is a lot of top level talent, but there needs to be consistency behind the big-time scoring.
Prediction: The Fortune Cockies.... RIGHT!!

Bluffton Backup Backups (3-0) v The J-Bones (1-2)
Annnnnnd then there was one.... who needs Dalvin Cook? In all reality, maybe BBB was just trying to keep things even - after CMC went down on TNF; BBB decided to make things far and leave Dalvin Cook in the lineup. Cooks had a huge night and Swift continues to score points. Those two are nice surprises for BBB. Allen and Godwin are studs and will continue to be consistent throughout the season. The big question for The J-Bones will be what happens with CMC. Who will fill-in for McCaffrey during the absence? The J-Bones are ripe to the taking while CMC is out for the count.
Prediction: Bluffton Backup Backups.... RIGHT!!

Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas* (2-1) v Dixie Normous (0-3)
What is there to say about this matchup? I know that there are 14 teams in this league so there is technically no bye-week, buuuuuttttt we all have eyes. We all see what is happening. Dixie Normous might be the worst team in the history of fantasy football - has there ever been a team that averages 76 points through 3 weeks? Will Dixie Normous ever break triple digits? Is there a trade lined-up in the future? On the flip side, Hunt had a big week as the Browns stayed with the hot hand in the backfield. The even bigger surprise is that Mahomes still ended with 22 fantasy points in a game that he clearly did not have his best stuff - that is one of the craziest concepts I have seen. I would have never guessed that Mahomes finished with that many points without looking.
Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas.... RIGHT!!

DK Country* (1-2) v Church Vans (2-1)
Church Vans had a good run, but who would have guessed the run ended because Hopkins and Jones ended up on the lower end of the starting lineup. Somehow Detroit is able to support both the starting running backs and Jamaal Williams is quietly having a very solid season. In a week that Hopkins and Jones combine for 12.8 points, Church Vans still scores 124 - pretty decent showing. On the flip side, DK Country was clearly the best 0-2 before this week and they finally got the first tally mark in the win column. Not only that, DK even edges out everyone else and takes home his first week with the belt. It helps with both your defense and kicker score 15+ points.

Ankle Holster (0-3) v Hernandez Hitmen (2-1)
There is a discussion that is beginning to take place in the shadows - what is the worst team in the league.... Ankle Holster or Dixie Normous? Ankle Holster lost this week (again), but at least they broke 100 points. The stack of Rodgers/Adams is arguably one of the best QB/WR duo, but other than that there is not a lot to go off of in the lineup. It is hard to compete in this league when you struggle in the running back area. On the flip side, HHM has a solid lineup and once again narrowly missed the belt this week - making two out of three weeks that he has finished 2nd in scoring. Herbert is building off of his fantastic rookie season and Elliott had a huge night against a weak Pihlly run defense. This is a team that can definitely make some noise when it comes to the playoffs.
Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men.... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster... WRONG!!
Season: 11-10
Mystery Guest: 9-12
With Love,
