Week 3 Results

I know it's way early in the season, but your top 4 teams in the league are owned, in order, by Kenny, Cindy, Ryan, and my dad. While Kenny is no surprise (even though he admittedly screwed up his first two RB picks, but kudos on the late flier for Ryan Mathews), Cindy and my dad's fast 2-1 starts are definitely shocks, as they've never played in our league before (in fact my dad has never played fantasy football period), yet so far the football gods have smiled on them and they reap the rewards with W's. Ryan drafts a hurt Peyton Manning, and overcomes that as well. Out of these 4, 2 weren't in the league, and the other 2 didn't make the playoffs. Fantasy football is an unpredictable bitch eh??? Here are the week 3 results


Take Dat Wit Chu (3-0)    106
Salt & Vinegar Chips (1-2)  68

Overview- Kenny got shocking news that Peyton Hillis was inactive due to illness. Look at the score, it didn't matter one bit. Kenny "blowed out" Mike, even though Posey had a fast start from Tom Brady and at the beginning Kenny was getting literally nothing from his guys. Ryan Mathews had the type of game that made me pick up in the first rd last year and it's safe to say that Kenny will deploy Mathews and Hillis on a weekly basis from now on. Aaron Rodgers had his typcial game (and managed to NOT let Greg Jennings dominate, which was huge because Posey owns him) and the Ravens D feasted big time on the Rams. Mike was even pro-active and picked up Scott Chandler for an injured Gates (Chandler scored) and didn't matter. Kenny got a few points from emergency starter Jahvid Best and survived a donut from Deion Branch, and Devery Henderson was pedestrian as well. Tony Gonzalez scored but did little else, but it was definitely enough as Posey's guys did pretty much NOTHING, especially his running backs. 3 pts combined from Michael Turner and Benjarvus Green-Ellis. That'll basically sink you fast. Also didn't understand the Denario Alexander play (against Baltimore D) over Lance Moore, but at the end it wouldn't matter, cause outside of Brady (27 pts) no one else bothered to show up.  You would've thought San Diego would've fiested on the Chiefs lethargic offense but nope, only 4 points. Kenny cruises on and remains the only undefeated team left.

Key Players


Ryan Mathews (Take Dat Wit Chu) 98 yards rushing, 2 rushing TD's, 51 yards receiving, 26 pts



Tom Brady (Salt & Vinegar Chips) 387 yards passing, 4 passing TD's, 4 INT's, 27 pts



Disappointing Players


Deion Branch (Take Dat Wit Chu) 0 catches, 0 yards receiving, 0 pts




Michael Turner (Salt & Vinegar Chips) 20 yards rushing, 2 pts




BenJarvus Green-Ellis (Salt & Vinegar Chips) 16 yards rushing, 1 pt



San Diego Chargers Defense (Salt & Vinegar Chips) 17 pts allowed, 1 INT, 1 Sack, 4 points (against the Chiefs)


Channel 4  News Team (1-2)       137
RuggedRaymontHarris (1-2)        90

Overview: 4 points. That's the total combined points from my TE position for the past 3 weeks. It continues to be a problem but even with that, I got the shit just beat out of me big time. Albert had the hot players, and now there are no defeated teams left anymore. Albert's guys went OFF, when even Jason Hanson (nice late minute move there) gets you 17 points, you know you're going to win. Jermichael Finley showed why he could be the top TE with his 3 TD performance, and Matt Schaub and Calvin Johnson both put up 20+ points. Ben Tate might have been a tad disappointing, but Daniel Thomas pretty much showed why the Dolphins drafted him in the first place. Even Julio Jones managed 110 yards. Eric Decker was exactly what I expected, mediocre production and I can't get Colston back sooner. My RB's did the heavy lifting, with McCoy and Bradshaw both having excellent games, but once again Vincent Jackson shows up small, against the Chiefs no less. Roddy White finally put together a game with 140 yards, too bad he couldn't find the endzone. Even though the matchup was decided, I still had Romo and Fred Davis for points in the Monday Night Game (A game I went to, ugly but a win's a win), and they did nothing to help me out. I might take another gamble on Fred Davis this week, but for the 4th straight week I'll be using a new WR #3 and Defense. Totally disappointed in my team.

Key Players


Matt Schaub (Channel 4 News Team) 373 yards passing, 3 pass TD's, 1 INT, 25 pts





Calvin Johnson (Channel 4 News Team) 108 yards receiving, 2 TD's, 22 pts





Jermichael Finley (Channel 4 News Team) 85 yards receiving, 3 TD's, 26 pts





Lesean McCoy (RuggedRaymontHarris) 128 yards rushing, 1 rushing TD, 13 yards receiving, 19 pts



Ahmad Bradshaw (RuggedRaymontHarris) 86 yards rushing, 53 yards receiving, 1 receiving TD, 19 pts


Disappointing Players


Vincent Jackson (RuggedRaymontHarris) 63 receiving yards, 1 rushing yard, 6 pts (against Chiefs)



Tony Romo (RuggedRaymontHarris) 255 yards passing, 1 INT, 0 TD's, -1 rushing yard, 9 pts




Steve Smith (Channel 4 News Team) 15 receiving yards, 1 pt




The Bad Bobofies (2-1)         76
Dr. Wily's Robots (1-2)        56

Overview- How ugly and bad was this matchup??? Albert beat the both combined by 5 pts.  How Matt goes from scoring the most points in the league for the year to now the least points in a game for the year is totally mindboggling. Kenny Britt's season ending injury hurt the most as he left a -1 score for Matt. Phillip Rivers did nothing against the shitty Chiefs D, and Adrian Peterson had a great first half, and the Vikings surprisingly used him very little in the 2nd half with a 20 pt lead. Matt had gone with Fred Jackson last week over Frank Gore and it worked. I thought he might do it again, but he didn't and he paid for it dearly. All it would have done though was made the score a little bit more respectable, he still would've lost, but clearly Frank Gore is not a fantasy elite option anymore, add to the fact that he's hurt again as well, and things are looking bleak for Gore's fantasy future. Darren McFadden had his way to the Jets, which helped them get exactly 0 pts as a defense. One 0 and one -1, yeah, you aren't coming back from that. My dad, though survives this matchup, cause in honestly outside of the usual Brees 20+ point performance, the rest of his team was pretty pedestrian. It's getting scarier and scarier to see crappy games from Chris Johnson, but there it was again. Him and DeSean Jackson combined for 10 points. That cannot happen on any normal week, this just happened to be a week where the stars aligned for Dad, and Matt's team just plain ol sucked. Brandon Jacobs had another double digit game, with 13, as he scored on a TD pass from Eli. I still think you can't trust him as a every week RB#2, because Ahmad Bradshaw is the main back of the committee. Dad luckily didn't need much to beat Matt this week and hey a win's a win, and Dad is now 2-1 and in 4th place. Not bad, first timer!!

Key Players


Drew Brees (The Bad Bobofies) 370 yards passing, 3 passing TD's, 2 INT's, -1 yard rushing, 2 2 pt conversions, 28 pts



Adrian Peterson (Dr. Wily's Robots) 78 rushing yards, 1 rush TD, 19 rec yards, 14 points



Disappointing Players


Chris Johnson (The Bad Bobofies) 21 rushing yards, 54 receiving yards, 7 pts





Desean Jackson (The Bad Bobofies) 30 yards receiving, 3 yards rushing, 3 pts




Frank Gore (Dr. Wily's Robots) 42 yards rushing, 1 fumble lost, 2 pts




Kenny Britt (Dr. Wily's Robots) 18 yards receiving, 1 fumble lost (injured in 2nd quarter) -1 pts



New York Jets Defense (Dr. Wily's Robots) 34 points allowed, 1 sack, 0 pts


Hoosier Daddy (2-1)          87
Shredders         (1-2)          70

Overview: I'm not bitter or anything but I would've beating these last 4 teams...just sayin (OK, I'll stop pouting now). Zach has had some of the worse injury luck in the first 3 weeks that I've ever seen. Vick gets hurt again, Maclin hurts his hamstring too, and though both should play in week 4, it sucks to get partial games from your #2 draft pick and the main piece of the trade that sent Peyton Hillis to Kenny. This team is in disarray, as there's no RB #1 (Benson and Tolbert again combine for under 10 pts) and there's barely a decent #2 RB. When Stevie Johnson is the best of the bunch this week, you know you're in trouble.  Him and Vernon Davis were the only two guys to score over 10. There's too many of the same guys at the WR and RB position, and that'll create a problem on who to start each week. David Nelson was nice, but who's to say he can be consistent? Jordy Nelson had 40 yards receiving, but Zach didn't play him, but there's another piece in that Hillis trade. Ryan is really lucky the Cam Newton experiment didn't blow up in his face but you can't blame him for riding the hot hand, and he still had more points than Phillip Rivers, Tony Romo, and Michael Vick. Mike Wallace was a stud again, 144 yards and a score. Mike Williams is looking like a bust, as he had another mediocre game. Boldin was decent with 74 yards. Mendenhall, not so much, less than 40 yards rushing against a shitty Colts D. MJD took advantage of the horrible Panthers run d, and ended up with 16 points.  Jimmy Graham also had a great game with 100 yards and a score.

Key Players


Mike Wallace (Hoosier Daddy) 144 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD, 20 pts





Maurice Jones-Drew (Hoosier Daddy) 122 yards rushing, 45 yards receiving, 16 pts





Jimmy Graham (Hoosier Daddy) 100 yards receiving, 1 receiving TD, 16 pts




Stevie Johnson (Shredders) 94 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD, 15 pts



Disappointing Players


Rashard Mendenhall (Hoosier Daddy) 37 yards rushing, 9 yards receiving, 3 pts




Michael Vick (Shredders) 176 passing yards, 1 INT, 31 rushing yards, 9 pts (left game with injury)






Mike Tolbert (Shredders) 19 rushing yards, 24 receiving yards, 3 pts




Da Boyz (2-1)                            135
The_Twin_Killers (1-2)             97


Overview- Leland had the same problem I did, he just ran into a buzzsaw. Cindy's team had the 2nd highest point total in the league this week and she's actually 2nd in the league because she has scored the most points in the entire league. Wes Welker has been a fantasy GOD, as he picks up 34 points. Yet another unbelievable performance from him. Oh, and the Jets D is unstoppable right?? Tell that to Darren McFadden who ran wild all over them to a tune of 171 and 2 TD's. Owen Daniels even had a great game, while Andre Johnson just had to have his usual normal game (128 yards) to add to the blowout.  Only Reggie Wayne had a bad game with 24 yards receiving. Everyone else showed up to play, and when McFadden and Welker go off like that (those two alone beat Matt's 56) you don't really need too much more to win. On Leland's side, Rob Gronkowski continues to be Brady's favorite go to guy as evidenced by the 22 points he put up and Matthew Stafford had another great game as well.  The receivers though, once again weak performances, a total combined 11 points. Kind of like my problem with my WR #3 and TE, Leland will probably have to mix it up and try to find someone that can stick in the lineup, cause so far it hasn't looked too good. (P.S. Cindy, I'm sorry again for predicting against you, lol).

Key Players



Wes Welker (Da Boyz)- 217 yards receiving, 2 receiving TD's, 19 yards rushing, 34 pts




Darren McFadden (Da Boyz) 171 yards rushing, 2 rushing TD's, 7 yards receiving, 29 pts (against Jets)




Matthew Stafford (The_Twin_Killers) 378 yards passing, 2 TD's, -1 yard rushing, 23 pts




Rob Gronkowski (The_Twin_Killers) 109 yards receiving, 2 rec TD's, 22 pts



Disappointing Players


Reggie Wayne (Da Boyz)- 24 yards receiving, 2 pts




Hakeem Nicks (The_Twin_Killers)- 25 yards receiving, 2 pts
