Not gonna lie, the past 48 hours have been a whirlwind for me... from feeling like death and having some respiratory virus/bacteria/sh*t in the lungs... whatever it is. I was unable to really breath or move. I couldn't really eat anything. I tried to come to school on Monday... couldn't make it out of the kitchen. Didn't really have the energy to eat anything (kind of contradictory isn't it?). I ended up sitting in a sauna and sweating out whatever it was. In the end, I lost close to 10 pounds - who knew sperm was that heavy?
Sadly, if it meant a win in fantasy football - I would do it all again. Without a thought, cause eff it... I WANT TO WIN!! My son is in a fantasy football league and he lost by .12 points this week, and I told him this morning and he said, "Whatever, I don't care." I came unglued. I hate that attitude. Then why are you even playing? If you don't care, don't play. In the end, he said he cared - he was just mad. Which is perfectly fine - be mad... but don't stop caring. Don't stop trying. You think when I was taking my last living breath on Sunday and Monday I stopped caring? Hell no, I just kept thinking about how I need to win this week.
Matchup of the Week
The J-Bones* (2-2) v The J-Bones 2.0 (3-1)
Talk about a MotW that finally lived up to the hype...
Matchup to Watch: Hubbard v Johnson... seriously, who would have thought that 2 Carolina players would be featured in the Matchup to Watch in the MotW??? And they both performed well... Johnson finished with 7 receptions/83 yards/1 touchdown and Hubbard finished with 104 rushing yards/1 touchdown/4 receptions. Hubbard on the battle... but a different RB won the war.
Players of Note: Holy King Henry... in case you missed it Henry started the game with a 85+ yard touchdown run. Yup, the King is back and Baltimore's running game is on point. Through the first two weeks of the season Henry totaled 27.2 points... combined. In each of the last two weeks, he has broken 30 points. On the flip side, 2.0's RB's is still solid (and probably top dawgs).... but it seems like Barkley needs the Philly receivers to be healthy to help counteract the opposing defenses.
Predicktion: The J-Bones 2.0.... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones 2.0.... WRONG!!
Heat Hicks (1-3) v ARBL (2-2)
Finally....
Matchup to Watch: Dobbins v Odunze... first off, neither player looked fantastic. However, Dobbins did outscore Odunze by 7.2 points and the final outcome was less than 6 points away. To say this was a key matchup, would be an understatement. Something else happened this week, that also swayed the outcome of this week...
Players of Note: Malik Nabers.... what a pick-up it was for Heat Hicks to grab a player of Nabers caliber. Of course, he gets knocked out, but he did more than his part to get the win. There are a lot of issues on the team, but he may be one of the few strong points. On the flip side, Hill is becoming a Player of Note - but not for a positive side of things. He is really struggling with Miami not deciding grab a decent QB in Tua's absent.
Predicktion: Heat Hicks.... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Heat Hicks... RIGHT!!
MAYEday (1-3) v Connor's Stalions (4-0)
The rich get richer...
Matchup to Watch: Jennings v Aiyuk... are the 49ers really just that confusing? Given, they played a terrible New England team - but how do these guys on combine to score 18.6 points? Even more so, how does Aiyuk only score 6.8 points? No clue, color me confused. Luckily, Stalions doesn't really need it and if Aiyuk becomes a stud this team might be damn near unbeatable.
Players of Note: Collins has emerged as the true stallion of the stable in Houston. Even with all the weapons the Texans brought in... the answer was always Collins. On top of that, Jayden Daniels is now the number 1 fantasy QB - who would have thought? Not this guy. I also can't go without mentioning something about Swift - who finally had the breakout performance that Chicago was hoping for. Truthfully, Swift may be where the offense needs to look if it wants to be successful. This could be something to look forward in the future.
Predicktion: Connor's Stalions... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: MAYEday... WRONG!!
Bootay Pirates (0-4) v Love Hurts (2-2)
The poor get poorer...
Matchup to Watch: Taylor v Williams.... This matchup came within .6 points. Both players touched the ball 20+ times and both players looked like the main focus of the offense. Rightfully so, these players are what these teams rely on. This is going to be a continuing trend for these players - the issue is whether or not Pirates, can hold on to Taylor? He may need to trade away him to gather more valuable pieces in return.
Players of Note: Jordan Love is back and that is a big sign for all Packers sign. He looked rusty in the beginning and then finally got it going and almost completed the comeback. Having Love back really helps the lineup and solidifies the QB problem. On the flip side, having Walker III back really helps and in more ways than one. He is a solid RB1 when healthy and finished as the 2nd leading scorer of the week. Which really should show you... maybe you need a little depth if you want to win in this league.

Cocaine Cowboys (1-3) v Ertz when Eifert (3-1)
Extra, Extra, Read all about it...
Matchup to Watch: To say that Lamar Jackson is making a case as the NFL MVP is an understatement. Many believed that Josh Allen was the favorite, but maybe not so fast. Jackson made his case and made it loudly. Not only that, but he also showed fantasy owners that he is a top QB and especially better than Murray.
Players of Note: In order to pull off the upset, you need players that are scoring. Cowboys had 6 players score 15+ points this week, and 3 of those players came on MNF. It was a huge win and something that will be talked about for ages. On the flip side, not only lost - they scored the 2nd fewest points of the week. They have valuable pieces and it may just be a fluke - but if this trend continues, maybe there might some moves in the future.
Predicktion: Ertz when Eifert... WRONG!!

Pendulous TD's (2-2) v Ankle Holster (3-1)
It was always the third leg over the titties... signs, signs.
Matchup to Watch: Hall v Achane... these guys suck. What is crazier is that Achane was a top tier RB in the first two weeks. Down goes Tua and down goes Achane. Opposing teams no longer care about the likes of Hill and Waddle and they are just loading up the box and shutting down Achane. On the flip side, there is no reason why Hall is performing like he is. Either A) Denver is really just that good on defense... doubtful or B) The NYJets are just not as dominant on offense as they should be.
Players of Note: Jayden Reed is going to have a much better year the more Jordan Love plays. Reed is one of the top playmakers in Green Bay and if Love really is the million dollar man... he is going to find his big-time playmakers. On the flip side, Wan'Dale is becoming a valuable WR2 in New York. They find themselves needing to throw the ball in order to stay in games and that creates opportunity.
Predicktion: Ankle Holster.... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster... RIGHT!!
Cleveland Streamers (1-3) v PEN15 Wrinkle (3-1)
Color me surprised...
Matchup to Watch: London v Olave... Both receivers had a good week, not great - but definitely serviceable. Both these receivers are a mystery, why are they scoring like top level receivers? Both teams have QBs who have enjoyed throwing the ball... but something is just not clicking with the receivers. Both of these receivers have the talent level to be in the top 10 of receivers and yet they both sit in the middle of the pack of WR2's in fantasy.
Players of Note: Jordan Mason and Justice Hill. Let's all be completely honest with ourselves... who would have thought that these two players would be what they are? Mason is a complete 3-down back fill-in for CMC and he is currently sitting at RB 5. Hill is the backup to King Henry and is the clear receiving back for Baltimore (even though Henry caught a touchdown this week). CeeDee and Evans need help with the Streamers... they are performing like top players but there is no support for them.
