Week 2 Results

The NFL season is officially back... yes, I know this is week 2 and it has been "back." But has it? 

There were a total of 706 points scored in week 1.

There were a total of 797 points scored in week 2.

Doesn't sound like that much? Let me put it this way....

Week 1 provided 5 teams scoring over 30 points.

Week 2 provided 9 teams scoring over 30 and 3 of those teams scored over 40.

Week 1 provided 3 games with at least 1 QB throwing over 300 yards.

Week 2 provided 7 games with at least 1 QB throwing over 300 yards.

Week 1 provided 3 games with at least 1 100 yard rusher.

Week 2 provided 4 games with at least 1 100 yard rusher.

Fantasy wise...

Total points scored in week 1 = 1455.58

Total points scored in week 2 = 1614.06

We are finally back. This is like when your buddy brings home a lovely lady and you look at her and you think - "What the hell are you doing with her?" and he's all like, "Dude, last one I could find... at this point, I don't care." Week 1

But then.....

In the morning, you get a better look and she is an absolute smoke show. She even got early, made the whole apartment eggs and toast and crawled back into bed your bro for a little morning sesh. Week 2

I call that the Reverse Goggles - a true unicorn in the wild... only stumbled across it once, I was not the lucky enough guy... but I did enjoy the eggs and toast.

Matchup of the Week

*Slender TD's (1-1) v Nips and Salsa (2-0)

Jahmyr Gibbs is a straight dawg. He is a as consistent as they get and you can always count on him to score at minimum 15 points. On the flip side, King Henry had an off day... but he is still averaging 15 points a week. Which begs the question: Would you rather have a player that will score 30 points one week at less than 5 points the next week or a player that will average 16/17 points a week? Jamo did his job as the X-Factor... and so did Dobbins on the flip side. The big additional help for Nips was Njigbas at night... don't ever 2nd guess a light-skinned brotha playing a dark skinned sport!

Prediction: Nips and Salsa... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: Slender TD's... WRONG!!

2AP (1-1) v Bootay Pirates (1-1)

This matchup did not come down to the "Key Matchup" this week... instead Chase started to do Chase things. We are all going to have to be worried moving forward that the tandem of Chase and Waddle coul.... Hold on, my inside source is giving me some information on the Burrow situation as I type...

Burrow is officially out for 3 months... forget the being worried thing, Jake Browning is now the starting QB. Browning is a player that has been waived and practice squaded all his caree.... Hold on, my inside source is telling me that this kid a gun slinger. We should all still be worried.

Prediction: 2AP... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: Bootay Pirates... WRONG!!

Cleveland Streamers (1-1) v Cocaine Cowboys (2-0)

Just how the Key Matchup went is just how this entire matchup went. The first defense selected, and by a manager that typically follows the rule of not drafting a defense until the end of the draft, put up a real dud this week. The big question - is there a point in time when you have to let them go? Giving up -5 points to a team that doesn't even score 30 points in the the NFL means that you are not generating any turnovers or sacks... and you are giving up yards in bunches. On the flip side, it was a revenge game that became the X-Factor... I just had the wrong one selected. Goff put up the middle finger to former offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, and decided to hang a 50 bomb on his head.

Prediction: Cocaine Cowboys... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: Cleveland Streamers... WRONG!!

The J-Bones (0-2) v 1st Downs Syndrome (2-0)

For as much of a stud as Johnathan Taylor is... is seems that our questions marks on Omarion Hampton were spot on thus far. When Taylor beats out CMC in the "Key Matchup" and you still lose the matchup... it is a tough pill to swallow. But there is really only reason why... all roads lead to Rome!! I was told at the beginning of the season to look-up for Rome Odunze as a breakout player... but I just refuse to get on board. I might have to train hop here soon, because Chicago is going to be losing in the 2nd half a lot and that means a game script for throwing the ball. It is wild that these teams are on the opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of standings, but this matchup only ended up 5 points away from each other.

Prediction: 1st Downs Syndrome... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: 1st Downs Syndrome... RIGHT!!

*AR Finger (1-1) v Deez Lutz (0-2)

Seems like Shia LaBeouf might be the ticket for AR's Finger! All they needed was a little pep talk and then... BOOM... you are a belt winner! First time league member and he now holds the belt by week 2... 

Good Morning Bluffton High School, this League Commish with an Inspirational Insight.

As my favorite philosopher, Aubrey Graham once said, "Started from the bottom, now we here. Started from the bottom, now the whole team here." 

It just goes to show, anybody can do anything.

With an inspiration insight, this is League Commish... you be you, because everyone else is taken!

Prediction: AR's Finger... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: AR's Finger... RIGHT!!

ARBL (1-1) v Project Tush Push (0-2)

When one RB is the the former rushing champion and the other RB is a highly touted rookie who can't seem to get passed his own lineman... things are not going to go well. A few of my favorite plays from Week 2.....

To be fair, Jeanty had a few other decent runs... but when you are selected in the 1st round of a fantasy draft - you better be putting up some numbers. You know who is a stud? Lamar Jackson. Possible MVP season incoming?

Prediction: ARBL... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: ARBL... RIGHT!!

Barely Even Know Her (0-1) v Ertz/Eifert (2-0)

You know who Ben Johnson doesn't have in Chicago? An Egyptian Pharaoh. ARSB is one of the premier WR's and he is playing in an offense that will score points and give him plenty of opportunity. This is the recipe for big weeks like this one. You know who BEKH doesn't have anymore? Joe Burrow. You know who BEKH's backup is currently? Geno Smith. Time to open the trading block... unless you really want to work the waiver-wire... but that is not highly recommended. On the plus side, you have pieces that could be moved to get yourself a big time QB. Just be ready... the trades are coming, whether you like it or not.

Prediction: BEKH... WRONG!!

Mystery Guest: BEKH... WRONG!!
