In fantasy football, the WORST feeling in the world is to watch your star player, your #1 pick suffer a serious injury. Last night.....I ALMOST had to experience that feeling. In the 2nd quarter, McCoy seemed to suffer a knee injury that looks pretty bad. To say I overreacted was an understatement, but seriously, there's no other way to put it, if you lose your #1 player in a 12 team league and he happens to be a running back...YOU'RE FUCKED. Period. Season is over. And for 20 or so minutes it really seemed like it was for me. My history with Thursday Night games is laughable. Last year was a circus of bad luck in these games and it looked like it was going to strike again. Luckily though, not only did McCoy come back, he was a beast finishing with over 150 yards and a TD. Now he gets to rest that ankle 10 days and hopefully that's enough to get him back to full strength. McCoy did the heavy lifting for me, as the Eagles offense was for the most part terrible. They shut down DeSean Jackson pretty much all night. Jackson finished with only 3 catches for 62 yards. Terribly disappointing in a week I need all the points I can get against Mike's Squad. Ryan's going the lazy way with his tight end position by starting Brent Celek once again. He did nothing of note and he's not a reliable fantasy starter at all. Even worse though was Dwayne Bowe. Just wow.... putrid performance. Mark won't stay undefeated if Bowe keeps getting ignored like that. Bowe caught one pass in the 4th quarter and that was it. Half a point. Matt was the other team who had Thursday night games and he played QB Carousel and finally bit on playing Michael Vick over RGIII. We won't know if this was a great decision until Sunday, but Vick was awful. Luckily, his 95 rushing yards salvaged his performance, but he threw two picks and a lost a fumble. Matt just can't win with that QB situation. Luckily for Matt, Jamaal Charles blew up. 92 rushing yards, 80 receving yards and a TD for 26.5 points. He had a couple chances at adding one more TD late, but the Eagles stuffed him at the goal. On to the awards for week 2!
Wane McGarity Stud of The Week
Aaron Rodgers (Bigger Balls)
480 Passing yards, 4 passing TD's, 35 points
Two weeks in a row, a QB takes top honors. Rodgers threw for a career high 480 yards and added 4 TD's. A no brainer for this week's award.
Michael Wiley Dud of The Week
Colin Kaepernick (The Bad Robofies)
127 Passing Yards, 3 Interceptions, 87 rushing yards, 1 fumble lost, 6.5 points
Dad was down 30 going into the Sunday night game with Kaepernick and Anquan Boldin still to go. Very doable between the two, even against a brutal Seattle Defense. What a nightmare. Kaepernick was beyond bad. It's a good thing he had rushing yards to pad those stats because he committed 4 turnovers and finished with a measly 6.5 points. You don't mess with that Seattle D.
