QB Insanity
Alright, raise your hand if you saw this one coming: the top 4 QBs in our league do not include Brady, Wilson, Rodgers, or Cam. Instead it features the following superstars
- Mahomes
- Fitzmagic
- Rivers
- Cousins
This leads me to two very important questions. Who's going to be starting Fitzpatrick this week? and more curiously, is Zane a wizard? Drafting Mahomes is one thing, but taking him in the 6th when he was being taken as the 15th QB is another level of sorcery.
Another fun stat: Matt Brieda is the leading rusher for the NFL through 2 weeks. Seriously.
MATCHUPS
JuJu Smith-Schuster
Dakstreet Boys (110.74) > Represent 👩🏈🌻(105.90)
In one of the closest matchups of the week, dominant games from JuJu and McCaffrey gave Dakstreet his first win and vaulted his team into 6th. He even withstood a 0 point game from injured kicking star Greg the Leg. For Represent, that Cardinal's overall awfulness is really having an impact on David Johnson, who only has 85 rush yards through 2 weeks. If their offense figures things out and the Ravens actually keep their best player (Collins) on the field, this team is still in good shape, but those things need to happen quickly.
- lowest scoring winner, Dakstreet Boys
Melvin Gordon III
Wampus Cats (135.54) > Eagle Powers (122.28)
The only thing more satisfying than beating your biggest rival is doing it 4 times in a row. After starting the week at -1 points on Thursday night, Wampus Cats put together an extremely balanced week with 0 players falling below 10 points. For Eagle Powers, Gurley and Engram made a valiant comeback effort on Sunday night, but weak outings from Thomas and the NO defense held them back. The saints are currently defense #31 out of 32, so maybe it's time to cut ties.
Michael Thomas
Cool Beans (143.30) > Greg's Grand Team (85.36)
The hits just keep coming for Greg's Grand Team. After losing Fournette in week 1, Mixon exited week 2 with an injury just before Josh Gordon was cut by the Browns on Saturday. Or was he? As it turns out he's now a NE Patriot, and he's sitting on waivers in our league. There's not a lot to say about this matchup: the Thomas/Kamara duo continues to dominate, and Kelce and Newton piled on to obliterate GGT.
- pickup of the week, Philip Lindsay (Greg's Grand Team). This is a weird one because as I said above, you probably wish you had Josh Gordon on your bench, but at the same time I think getting Lindsay before his second big game was great, and he could be an all year starter.
Patrick Mahomes
zane's Team (120.74) > Goofy Gang (116.12)
2 weeks, 10 touchdowns, 0 interceptions. Patrick Mahomes is off to the hottest start for a QB in NFL history. As it turns out, that's pretty good for Fantasy Football. Equally surprising: despite rushing for only 1 yard this week, Chris Thompson is the #6 RB in fantasy. Oh, yeah, and Hopkins is still amazing. Thanks to a ridiculous 34 point game from Diggs, however, this game was still easily in reach for Goofy Gang... if he had only started Cousins.
- highest scoring loser, Goofy Gang
Ben Roethlisberger
Return of the Mack (152.88) > Steven's Team (88.40)
Roethlisberger, AJ Green, Zeke, Golden Tate. Return of the Mack could have left every other roster position empty and these 4 would have been enough to carry him to a 14 point victory this week. His homer love for Chicago also payed off big as their defense has turned out to be the 2nd best in fantasy through 2 weeks. Steven's team has honestly just been obliterated by injury. The Lev Bell holdout is frustrating enough without Baldwin, Freeman, and Goodwin all scoring 0s on your bench. Hopefully there are healthier days ahead for your squad. Maybe shoot Bell and text and see if he wants to quit Jet-Skiing around the Caribbean and help his team win a game.
- high score of the week, Return of the Mack
- blowout of the week
