Fantasy Recap: Week 2
Well this took a bit longer to get up than I wanted. VGChartz decided it was going to freak out yesterday, so this got delayed, unfortunately. Never fear, though; I’m back and more than ready to talk about how my team is totally going 12-1 this year.
Closest Game: Super Club of Athletic Buddies 86.28, It Ertz when Eifert 75.44
SCAB found himself in the closest game of the week once again, but with a more positive outcome this time. Realistically, “close,” might be a bit of an overstatement; the nearly 11 point difference speaks to a week where blowouts were the norm. Ludicrous had a few standout performances, with Kareem Hunt once again putting up over 20 points, but Ezekiel Elliott was absolutely shut down by Denver’s defense and once it became apparent that the Packers’ and Falcons’ defenses were just putting on a repeat of their efforts in the NFC Championship, this one was all over. Devonta Freeman (22 points) and Matt Ryan (15 points) led the way for SCAB.
Biggest Upset: The Longest Foot 119.42, Nohrian Scum 91.42
Speaking of back to back weeks in a game category...here I am once again, favored to win by over 20 points and still losing. As with last week, my opponent’s players turned in some career days; Seth’s QB, RBs, and WR #1 nearly put up 100 points on their own. If it wasn’t clear what kind of week it was, Seth’s kicker put up 14 points by himself. Meanwhile, on my end, Le’Veon Bell continues to disappoint, Jonathan Stewart, Brandin Cooks, and Tyreek Hill dropped off significantly after decent-quality performances last week, and my team wasted another solid effort by Todd Gurley (24 points). Hangin With Hernandez continues to make pitiful trade offers in an attempt to get him, btw.
Biggest Blowout: Lousy Pack 124.32, Arminillo 71.36
Here’s an easy way to win; have all but one of your starters put up at least 10 points. Buoyed by the lack of defense displayed by Atlanta and New Orleans, Rol’s team of 50% Packers and Patriots players put up some serious points. Ty Montgomery is looking less and less like a reach pick by the week, putting up 23 points despite only 35 rushing yards. Meanwhile, Arminillo didn’t have an awful week, but was completely let down by the Jag’s defense, who turned in the only negative points performance of any player started in the league.
The rest:
Doomfist 93.22, Alpha Males 70.10
Arch 74.60, The Loins 50.88
HanginwithHernandez 103.54, Dongos Gridiron Gamers 69.32
