Week 3 Results

It's only 3 weeks in and we're down to only 2 undefeated teams. Me and Mark are the last 3-0 teams standing. On the opposite end, Ryan is the only winless team left. Here's what happened in another unpredictable Week 3.

Danny's Little Giants (3-0)       108
Passion ofthe Puente (2-1)        69.5

This did not go the way I expected at all. I already posted about Shady's big day Thursday and Cam Newton FINALLY decided to show up in a BIG way. 3 Passing TD's and a rushing TD. THAT'S why I drafted him. I also finally got RB #2 production in Bernard Pierce who scored a TD, while playing for the injured Ray Rice. Julius Thomas also continues to be a late round gem scoring in his 3rd straight game. This week is a bla week for my receivers as none of them scored TD, and Pierre Garcon was the best one with 12 points. For Mike, two mistakes. Eli over Romo and Jacobs over Bradshaw. The Eli over Romo is defensible as Eli had a juicer matchup, he just was awful but Jacobs over Bradshaw?? Yes, T-Rich is there and it was the 49ers D, but Bradshaw is still the better option because he was due for a lot more touches. Bradshaw-17 points, Jacobs-0. Eli-3.5 Romo-20. It doesn't win the game, but points matter and to leave over 30 points off the board sucks. There is a silver lining though for Mike. Josh Gordon....STUD (or as Mike would say MONEY). He was worth the flier. Even with a suspect QB, he put up 27 points. He's the X Factor on Mike's team, and he's the 4th receiver on this talent heavy squad. He'll be a difference maker for sure. Arian Foster continues to be meh, which might be scary only because Ben Tate might continue to cut in to his touches. Mike will try to rebound next week against a reeling Leland team, while I take on a rejuvenated Kenny team who just got it's 1st win in dominant fashion.

Game MVP
Cam Newton (Danny's Little Giants)
223 passing yards, 3 Passing TD's, 1 INT, 45 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 28.5 points
 

Dr. Light's Robots (1-2)             124
Tebow4President (1-2)                 58

Matt is winless no more as he just flat out destroyed Leland's team this week. It started with the Jamaal Charles game and Matt's team never let up. Matt played smart and made excellent roster choices sitting both MJD and Roddy White and subbing in Joique Bell (20 points) and Denarius Moore (21 points). Gutsy moves that paid off handsomely. Jordy Nelson and Golden Tate had solid games as well. As for Leland....wow what can you say. 2nd week he's scored the least points of the week. He has the ultimate hit or miss team. Last week was great, this week..abysmal. Matthew Stafford and James Jones were really the only ones that decided to show up.  C.J. Spiller....it's only been 3 weeks, but he's not looking like a 1st round pick much less the #1 pick. Yes he got hurt, but he was doing nothing of note and Fred Jackson has looked better than him at times. He still has time to turn it around, but by the time he does it might be too late. Lamar Miller, another frustrating day for him, he just doesn't get the full workload you'd want out of your RB #2. It's damn sure hard to predict what team is going to show up for Leland..he better hope the Week version shows up against another team capable of huge points in Mike. Matt will have an excellent chance to get back to .500 as he takes on Ryan and his winless squad in week 4.

Game MVP
Jamaal Charles (Dr. Light's Robots)
92 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 7 catches, 80 receiving yards, 26.5 points
 

Not Even Lying (1-2)               131
I'm A Paul Heyman Guy (1-2)   99.5

Told you that 0-2 start was deceiving. THIS was the kind of game I knew Kenny's team was capable of. Now it was against a super depleted Drew team, but nonetheless 131 would've beaten ANYONE this week. It was hilarious though, because believe it or not, Kenny was down 18 going in to Sunday Night's Steelers-Broncos game. There was a small shot of quite possibly the biggest upset in league history....then ANTONIO BROWN HAPPENED. Talk about saving a season. 9 catches for 196 yards and 2 TD's (including a BEAUTIFUL 1 HANDED TD GRAB) for a week high 35.5 points. Just absurd and put a kabosh on all that comeback talk. Demaryius Thomas went ahead and added 10 grabs for 94 yards just to hammer the win down. Drew Brees...yep typical elite performance (300 yards passing, 3 TD's, 1 rushing TD...yawn..so predictable). The scary thing? The running backs can actually play better than they are! Doug Martin and Chris Johnson are still playing averagish by their expectations. Martin for sure, will get better. Kenny even FINALLY got production from Kenbrell Thompkins who scored two TD's. When Randall Cobb was your worst receiver...you've had a very good week. For Drew, hey valiant effort my man. This team shouldn't have stood a chance to win, yet despite two zeroes from Daryl Richarson and Hakeem Nicks, Drew took a lead all the way to Sunday Night thanks to Stephen Hill, Cecil Shorts, Adrian Peterson and Jordan Cameron (3 TD's). Cameron has proven to be a TE1 by the way. Excellent value pickup by Drew. Drew's not at full strength, but he'll get Reggie Bush back next week and Amendola might be coming back soon as well. If he can put up close to 100 with this squad, imagine a fully healthy squad! He'll take on Dad next week, while Kenny faces me in a prime matchup to even up at 2-2.

Game MVP
Antonio Brown (Not Even Lying)
9 catches, 196 receiving yards, 2 TD's, 35.5 points
 
 
The Bad Robofies (2-1)       74
Bigger Balls (1-2)                61.5

Just look at the score and you know who played in this game....but to win with only 74 points?? Yep.....Dad does it again. I find it really strange and odd how no matter what group of players Dad drafts they all manage to score low points...yet he STILL wins. It's crazy. Mayra's team had another brutal game. Aaron Rodgers was awful, Dez didn't do much, no RB production really, and Mayra committed the fantasy cardinal sin of starting an inactive Vernon Davis. I doubt it would've mattered, but you never know. For Dad, Jimmy Graham is the only one worth mentioning. 2 more TD's and 134 yards receiving. Colin Kaepernick had another horrible game and it was against the Colts. This could be very alarming as Dad is counting on Kaepernick to be huge for him. Dad and his low scoring brigade face Drew next week, while Mayra has to play Albert without Aaron Rodgers who's on bye.

Game MVP
Jimmy Graham (The Bad Robofies)
9 catches, 134 receiving yards, 2 receiving TD's, 29.5 points
 


Shock The Monkey (3-0)         82.5
Channel 4 News Team (1-2)    73.5

I thought for sure Mark was going to lose this one, especially after the .5 Bowe performance. Nope though, Mark wins a 9 point affair that was actually not decided until Monday Night. Peyton Manning almost pulled off another miracle, and the lead was dropped to 12 points by half, but Manning and the Broncos slowed down passing wise in the 2nd half, and Albert could cut the lead to 9. Matt Ryan was his usual consistent self as was Matt Forte, but how about Bilal Powell? Excellent spot start by Mark, and he'll be able to ride him until Steven Jackson comes back. Powell had 149 rushing yards. Brian Hartline scored a TD, and was really the only other notable player on Mark's team in a low scoring matchup. Albert's got to be disappointed in 73.5 points. He lost Jermichael Finley to a concussion, and A.J. Green was unspectacular though he scored. Peyton Manning needed help, and didn't really get much. Alfred Morris and Frank Gore both scored double digits but it just wasn't enough to get the job done. So Mark survives another week and remains undefeated. He'll take on fellow newbie (and 2-1) Eugene next, while Albert takes on Mayra and tries to rebound from this bad loss.

Game MVP
Matt Forte (Shock The Monkey)
87 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 4 catches, 24 receiving yards, 18 points
 

 Springville-Warrior (2-1)                122.5
 Hoosier Daddy (0-3)                          82.5

How about Eugene bouncing back from a bad week 1 loss with back to back dominant wins? Can't sleep on this team as he's now 3rd place thanks to this blowout win against Ryan. Russell Wilson FINALLY had a great game and it could've been even better had he not been pulled in the 3rd quarter. He threw for 4 TD's passes against a horrible Jaguars defense. I'm sure Eugene would love DeMarco Murray to play the Rams every week. Murray came to PLAY this week as he gashed the Rams for 175 rushing yards and a TD. Trent Richardson didn't do much but did add a TD. Where was this Antonio Gates LAST YEAR?!? Remember when I owned him and he was old as shit and sucked?? He seems to be back as he had another productive game with a TD. Eric Decker is more than making amends for that awful game 1 start. 8 catches for 133 yards and a TD. Another disappointing week for Ryan. Tom Brady had another averageish game with 15 points. Marshawn Lynch BLEW a great opportunity against a shitty Jacksonville team. I mean he scored 3 TD's against the 49ers, but only managed 69 yards against this Jacksonville Defense? Stevan Ridley? BUST. When LaGarrette Blount gets more touches than you...it's just not good. Believe it or not, Ryan's best player was Sidney Rice. He had 21 points. Sidney Rice being your best player is NOT a vote of confidence. I know it's early but I believe Ryan is in "must-win" mode already. Can't afford to go 0-4.  He'll play Matt in week 4. Eugene can make some noise by beating Mark and stopping his undefeated streak.

Game MVP
DeMarco Murray (Springville-Warrior)
175 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 3 receptions, 28 receiving yards, 26.5 points
