What a week in the NFL. Shout-out to the Bills beating up the Cardinals on Sunday after looking like they were imploding two weeks into the season. In fantasy news, there’s been even more injuries to key players, Terrelle Pryor can apparently play three positions really well, Fitzmagic went from really good to really, really bad, the Patriots can literally win with any quarterback, and the Vikings are legit still.
Brenda and Xavi squared off, both coming off losses and looking to rebound. Brendan has lost AP for the season, but Charles Sims stepped up as the lead back in Tampa Bay with Doug Martin going down too. Brendan actually looked like he was going to end up with a win after Sunday’s games even without starting Sanders, who would have given him a guaranteed win had he started him. Instead, he watched Devonta Freeman run buck wild and rob Brendan of his first win of the season.
Steven and Tom’s game was over as soon as Marvelous Marvin touched the field. Mr. Jones put up over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns, looking like he’ll fill that Calvin Johnson role. Gurley also showed up this week with two touchdowns of his own against a bad Tampa Bay defense. Tom’s team is slowly breaking down, with another one of his already thin running back corps going down to a long-term injury. It was the perfect storm, and Steven’s team put up the most points this week with 140.6.
Undefeated Brad Williamson beat Tyler Lopes in a high scoring match-up, even with Brad getting no production out of Gronk or Carson Palmer. All of his running backs and wide receivers scored a touchdown or two to carry his team over Tyler’s McCoy-led roster. The only thing Bradley needs to worry about right now is his depth as his bench only had a combined 12.3 points. If someone on his squad goes down, he’ll have to rely on the waiver wire to pick up a starter.
In the lowest scoring game of the week, Colin scored a dismal 58 points, allowing the reigning champ to get his first win of the season. Colin set his lineup this week, but it didn’t help as his highest scoring player only had 13.1 points. Odell still hasn’t scored a touchdown this season but that won’t continue forever. But maybe it will.
Ders, coming off a couple high scoring weeks, came back down to Earth with a 68 point week against TJ. TJ came into this game with low confidence, which is understandable when you take a look at his bench and see D Martin, Rawls, Foster, Ertz and Eifert all injured. He’s going to have another rough week coming up considering he has all of those injuries and half of his team is on bye. Ders will finally get Lev Bell back to put in his lineup, which should give his lineup a boost going forward.
Remember Tyler Berry and Andrew (definitely) pooped his pants had a pretty good match-up this week. Weston made some spot starts at running back that really paid off. CJ Anderson disappointed this week for Brad, but the Chiefs defense had the most points of any single player this week when they humiliated Fitzpatrick. Will Andrew poop his pants next week? We’ll have to wait to find out.
