Week 3 Results


After Week 3, we have only 1 undefeated team left (Matt) and 1 winless team left (Kenny). Mayra and Dad suffered their first losses this week and our now in the thick of the pack with everyone else. Here are the results of Week 3

The Twin Killers (2-1)          129
Poseidon Angry (1-2)           120

It's my blog so pardon the rant here, but man could this season get any worse for me??? For the 3RD STRAIGHT WEEK I lose a starting running back to injury in the middle of my matchup (Fred Jackson week 1, Matt Forte Week 2, and now...C.J. Spiller), yet still over come that and for the 2nd straight week score the 3rd most points in the week only to lose to the guy who scores the most points in a week. Unbelievable. I've got the 2nd most points in the league (exactly 3 points behind Matt who is undefeated) and yet there I sit 1-2 in 6th place with 4 total running backs down. I know, I know, those are the breaks, and there's millions out there just like me, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating or hard to swallow.We covered Leland's gutsy move in playing 4 Giants position players on the Thursday recap add in a little Ray Rice and Julio Jones and it was more than enough to put me away. It would've added insult to injury, but Leland could've played Torrey Smith who's status was up in the air after the tragic death of his brother. Smith ended up playing and he was amazing, but it didn't matter for Leland. My defense pickup of Arizona was awesome, just destroying Philadelphia (5 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries, Defensive TD). Megatron was a beast finally proving why he's the best wide receiver in the game today (10 receptions, 160+ receiving yards and a score) RGIII looked like crap in the 1st half, but really stepped it up with 80 yards rushing along with 2 scores (1 rushing) and ended up with 24 points. Reggie Wayne also had another useful game and will continue to be used as the primary receiver for Andrew Luck. Stevan Ridley was horrific, a total letdown,  as was Antonio Gates. Leland goes on to face Drew next week while I play my dad, in what could be another loss, considering my situation.

Key Players



Robert Griffin III (Poseidon Angry) 221 passing yards, 1 passing TD, 85 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 1 Fumble Lost, 24 points

Disappointing Players

Antonio Gates (Poseidon Angry) 3 receptions 22 yards, 3.5 points



Dr. Wily's Robots (3-0)                125.50
Breaking Bybee (0-3)                      93

 You can't stop the machine. Even without Hakeem Nicks, Matt manages to easily dispatch Kenny and remain the only undefeated team in the league. There's just too much talent on this team, that Matt can afford terrible performances from Michael Vick, a mediocre game from Marshawn Lynch and a horrible sub in Mike Williams. None of it matters, with a top notch defense (23 points from the Bears) a lights out wide out (29 points for A.J. Green) and a ho hum day from Arian Foster (16 points). When Nicks comes back, the weapons will be fully loaded yet again. It's been a very frustrating season for Kenny, who remains the only winless team in the league. Even with the best statistical fantasy performance of the season in Jamaal Charles (233 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 6 receptions, 55 receiving yards, for an amazing 37 points) he STILL lost by 32.5 points. Unfortunately only Brandon Lloyd and Miles Austin provided any punch besides Charles. Gronk, Romo, and Jordy Nelson were all miserable and LeSean McCoy didn't get enough touches to make a big impact. We'll see if the trade Kenny made re-energizes his team. He'll face a tough test to get his first W next week in Leland. Matt will take on Mayra next in his quest to stay undefeated.

Key Players
 
A.J. Green (Dr. Wily's Robots) 9 receptions, 183 receiving yards, 11 rushing yards, 1 receiving TD, 29.5 points


Chicago Bears Defense (Dr. Wily's Robots) 6 sacks, 2 interceptions, 1 Defensive TD, 6 points allowed,  23 points

 

Jamaal Charles (Breaking Bybee) 233 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 6 receptions, 55 receiving yards, 37 points (League Season High)

Disappointing Players

Rob Gronkowski (Breaking Bybee) 2 catches, 21 yards, 3 points

Chardee MacDennis (1-2)             116
The Bad Robofies (2-1)                   76

It was only a matter time before Drew  got his first W. He got it pretty easily, blowing out dad by a week high 40 points. It's totally random, but it's funny how for 2 years running Dad either wins very low scoring affairs, or gets blown out. It's rarely anything else. Matthew Stafford salvaged his day with a TD and 2 pt conversion on his way to 18 points but did get hurt. Don't know how bad the injury is, but Stafford has struggled to live up to expectations so far. Mike Wallace and Darren McFadden led the way, while Peterson continues to defy odds and put up respectable numbers. Stevie Johnson chipped in a TD, but Drew's Eagle combo of Brent Celek and DeSean Jackson couldn't even combine for 10 points. Dad's week started off bad with Cam Newton being horrible and he never really got it going the rest of the way. Vincent Jackson showed his miss side this week with only 2 points, and that's how V-Jax is gonna be week to week. No consistency whatsoever. Wes Welker led Dad's team in scoring, with no one doing much of anything. DeMarco Murray did score, but didn't have many yards on the day. This could be just what Drew needs to kick start a run. He gets Albert next in a totally winnable match up. Dad gets me, and believe it or not, it's really good for him and he has a great shot of rebounding and beating me next week.

Key Players



Mike Wallace (Chardee MacDennis) 8 receptions, 123 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD, 22 points



Wes Welker (The Bad Robofies) 8 receptions, 142 receiving yards, 18 points

Disappointing Players


Cam Newton (The Bad Robofies) 242 passing yards, 3 Interceptions, 6 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 12 points



Vincent Jackson (The Bad Robofies) 1 reception, 29 yards, 2.5 points




Darren Sproles (The Bad Robofies) 62 rushing yards, 6 points




DeSean Jackson (Chardee Macdennis) 3 receptions, 43 yards, 5.5 points

Richard Head (2-1)                       105
Channel 4 News Team (1-2)           71

And just like that Albert's team is back to earth, and had the lowest scoring output of the week, barely going over 70 points. Mike's quietly going under the radar, and that's with no legit #3 receiver and Aaron Rodgers playing pretty average football. Imagine if he fixes those problems. Could be a dark horse contender. Aaron Rodgers scored under 10 points, and again his WR trio were uninspiring, but MJD really kicked it into gear with 25 points. How bout Tony Gonzalez having yet another impact performance with 19.5 points. Dude still has it. Michael Bush chipped in a TD and the way Albert's guys plays that was more than enough for Mike to earn Victory #2. For Albert, his receiving trio was miss this time, especially Demaryius Thomas who had 34 yards and a fumble. Brandon Marshall was better than last week, but not by too much. Albert's gonna need a lot more from him. A TD saved Trent Richardson from totally sucking, same with Jimmy Graham, and Willis McGahee getting hurt put a nail in the coffin. At least I look smart again, as Albert's team was just way over matched and now he'll have to face a tough Drew team in week 4. Mike will take on Ryan next, and he could be headed for a nice 3-1 start.

Key Players



Maurice Jones-Drew (Richard Head) 177 rushing yards, 1 TD, 2 receptions, 16 receiving yards, 25 points



Tony Gonzalez (Richard Head) 9 receptions, 91 yards, 1 TD, 19.5 points

Disappointing Players


Willis McGahee (Channel 4 News Team) 36 rushing yards, 1 reception 6 yards, 3.5 points (left game with injury)



Demaryius Thomas (Channel 4 News Team) 3 receptions, 34 yards, 1 fumble lost, 2.5 points



Aaron Rodgers (Richard Head) 223 passing yards, 17 rushing yards, 9 points



Randy Moss (Richard Head) 3 receptions, 27 yards, 3.5 points



Hoosier Daddy (1-2)            106.50
Bigger Balls (2-1)                   83

And in a bit of an upset, Mayra encounters her first fantasy football loss. Ryan's back's were once again HORRIBLE, but Peyton Manning, Larry Fitzgerald, and Antonio Brown help lead the way to Ryan's 1st victory. Jason Witten continues to look worse and worse each week, this time only contributing 1 point. Those 16 points from the Giants D were a big time help for Ryan. Greg Jennings didn't do much, but no one really did for the Packers. Mayra lost Reggie Bush to injury in the game, and it went downhill from there. Only Drew Brees, Andre Johnson and Robbie Gould scored double digits. Frank Gore returned to earth and it wouldn't have even mattered if she played Ryan Mathews, he wasn't much better. Mayra faces Matt next week, and could be looking at 2-2. while Ryan faces Mike next week.

Key Players


Peyton Manning (Hoosier Daddy) 330 yards, 2 passing TDs, 21 points



Larry Fitzgerald (Hoosier Daddy) 9 receptions, 114 yards, 21.5 points
