Week 2 Results

Only 2 weeks have passed and we're already down to only 3 undefeated teams left. Me, Mike and Mark are 2-0 and next week me and Mike take on each other so at the very least there's a guarantee that one undefeated team will stay intact. Last week was the week of underperformers, this week it's the dreaded injury bug as we saw plenty of top tier running backs go down. Ray Rice, Steven Jackson, MJD, Reggie Bush and Eddie Lacy, not to mention Roddy White still suffering from a high ankle sprain, Larry Fitzgerald and his hamstring, Andre Johnson getting concussed, it's a nightmare for owners everywhere. Who survived the carnage? Let's find out in the week 2 results.

Danny's Little Giants (2-0)            124
Dr. Light's Robots (0-2)                  76.5

Well this was a pleasant surprise to say the least. I didn't think I would have enough fire power to pull this off especially if Cam Newton and David Wilson were irrelevant (they were) but my Eagles combo of McCoy and DeSean Jackson saved the week yet again. DeSean Jackson was a MONSTER this week with 193 yards and a TD. I read it could've even been more but Vick overthrew him on one play, and another TD was negated by a penalty. McCoy was quiet rushing wise with only a little over 50 yards but he chipped in 114 receiving yards which helped out tremendously. Also Pierre Garcon was a beast, with 143 yards and a TD. I also got TD's from Greg Olsen and Julius Thomas, while Larry Fitzgerald was hampered by a hamstring injury and didn't do much. For Matt, just disappointments all around. RGIII started out slow, but finished with some garbage time points and finished with 22.5 points. Michael Vick though was even better and scored 33. We got ourselves a QB controversy here folks. It's gonna be difficult for Matt to make these weekly decision, and the hardest thing to do in a league is trade a QB. Jordy Nelson had another excellent game with 2 TD's and Jamaal Charles scored. Outside of that though, Roddy White's injury continues to bother him, and MJD left his game with an injury though he wasn't doing much anyway. Reggie Wayne was also very quiet as well. Just been a couple of rough weeks for Matt, and he'll now try to get his 1st win against the defending champ, Leland next week. As for me...well don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled I won. 2-0 is awesome. My big question is can this kind of production last. What's going to happen on the weeks DeSean Jackson and McCoy are average? I NEED Cam Newton and my #2 RB to STEP UP. -2 points combined from my RB #2 spot is UNACCEPTABLE and I won't keep winning with that kind of weak ass shit. David Wilson is obviously not ready to be thrust into a big role in the Giants, and he's just not startable anymore, which sucks cause I wasted a 3rd round pick on him. Outside of Stevan Ridley, it might be the biggest bust of the draft. Also my 4th round pick Cam Newton, well where's the eliteness that I expected out of him. Without his running skills, he's nothing more than an Alex Smith clone (hell even Alex Smith runs). Next week will be a true test, because I face arguably the best team in the league and the Eagles have a short week. I'm afraid they'll be tired and won't play very well. I'll need Cam, Fitz, and whoever I play at the RB#2 to really show up, otherwise it could be the start of a long losing streak.

Game MVP
DeSean Jackson (Danny's Little Giants)
9 catches, 193 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD, 29.5 points
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (10) drops a long pass by Michael Vick in the third quarter against the San Diego Chargers of their NFL football game, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2013, in Philadelphia. The Chargers won 33-30


Tebow4President (1-1)               114.5
Hoosier Daddy (0-2)                   88.5

After last week's debacle for Leland, it must be nice to comeback and get back on track. It's Leland's 3rd and 4th receivers that lead the way, as James Jones rebounded from a zero point game to score 20.5 points and rookie DeAndre Hopkins also scored 20.5 points. Leland also got much better production this time around from C.J. Spiller and Lamar Miller as they combined for 27 points after combining for 6 last week. The Colts also got T.Y. Hilton more involved in the offense as he caught 6 for 124. I still think this team can only get better and Spiller, and Miller can actually do a lot better than they did this week. Stafford had a solid game as well. For Ryan, well..what can ya say..Stevan Ridley is a certified bust so far. Definitely not worth the early 2nd round pick he was drafted at. Also Brady's been average without his usual weapons, and it's not going to get any better until at least Gronk comes back. Stevie Johnson and Marshawn Lynch (3 TD's, 31.5 points) led the way, but it just wasn't nearly enough. Ryan also got bad news on his potential Ridley replacement as Eddie Lacy got concussed and right now there's no timetable on his return. Ryan will try to avoid an 0-3 start against Eugene, while Leland takes on a winless Matt team in a pivotal week 3 matchup.

Game MVP
James Jones (Tebow4President)
11 receptions, 178 receiving yards, 1 fumble, 20.5 points
Washington Redskins' DeAngelo Hall (23) knocks Green Bay Packers' James Jones (89) out of bounds after a catch during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Sept. 15, 2013, in Green Bay, Wis 
                         
Passion ofthe Puente (2-0)          93
I'm a Paul Heyman Guy (1-1)    69.5

What a brutal performance from Drew's team. Not surprisingly Mike took advantage and easily won despite pretty marginal performances from most of his team. Only Brandon Marshall really stood out with over 100 yards and a TD, though Foster, Bradshaw, and Wes Welker did add TD's. Drew starting Pryor over Andrew Luck was a shock and it didn't work, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. It's funny to say Adrian Peterson had a let down game with "only' 100 yards rushing, but when you score 3 TD's in week one, that's what happens. Reggie Bush exited his game with yet another injury and it's something Drew has to monitor as he really can't afford another injury (Amendola still out) to his team. He'll take on Kenny next week, while Mike takes me on in the battle of undefeateds. It's funny to see how Mike's team just kind of had a paint by the numbers game and still won by 23.5 points. If this is a "down" performance..gonna be tough to beat this team.

Game MVP
Brandon Marshall (Passion ofthe Puente)
7 recepetions, 113 receiving yards, 1 TD, 20.5 points 
NFL: Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears 

Shock The Monkey (2-0)               88
The Bad Robofies (1-1)                 66.5

 Well look who's 2-0 now. I don't think many people pegged Mark to be one of the undefeated teams left but very quietly he has dispatched Kenny and Dad in his first two games of his debut season. This wasn't pretty, a little low scoring but more times than not if it's a low scoring affair, it involved Dad and there's a good chance to get a W. Matt Ryan and Matt Forte led the way, while Victor Cruz chipped in with a 100 yard performance and Dwayne Bowe scored a TD.The only downer, was that Steven Jackson left his game with a thigh injury after he scored a TD. Don't know how serious it is, but that could be a huge blow to Mark's team. Last week, Colin Kaepernick and Anquan Boldin combined for 62 points. This week Dad's entire team scored 66.5. Dad and his low scoring weeks are back! Admittedly though, it was kind of easy to see this happen because of the 49ers matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. This week the Kaepernick-Boldin duo combined for 7 points....that's right..7. Dad also lost Ray Rice early in this game to a hip injury and Andre Johnson to a concussion. Don't know Rice's status, but Johnson should be good to go in week 3. The lone bright spot on Dad's Team was Jimmy Graham who accounted for almost half of Dad's points. Graham was amazing with 179 yards and a TD. Darren McFadden also wasn't too bad himself with 129 rushing yards though he did fumble. Kaepernick won't be that horrible again, but you have to seriously question the rest of Dad's team outside of Jimmy Graham. He could be in real trouble if he loses Ray Rice. He'll have a tough matchup against Mayra next week, while Mark plays a tough Albert team as he tries to keep that undefeated season alive.

Game MVP
Matt Ryan (Shock The Monkey)
374 passing yards, 2 Passing TD's, 22 points




Jones has huge day, Falcons hold off Rams 31-24  

Bigger Balls (1-1)               131.50
Not Even Lying (0-2)            91

So last week showed what happened when Mayra's Dez/Calvin Combo is shut down. This week was the total opposite. Mayra scored the most points of the week as Dez, Calvin, and Aaron Rodgers all played lights out and when that happens you can forget it. Calvin had two TD's and 116 yards, Dez had 141 and a TD, and how about Aaron Rodgers? 480 passing yards and 4 passing TD's. The scary thing? It could've been even more, it was just too much a blowout and the Packers started running the ball. The also positive thing about her main guys going off is that you just need average production from the rest of your squad to secure the win. Mayra even got a decent 15 point Mendenhall performance. The only dark cloud is Vernon Davis and his hamstring injury. He left Sunday night's game and the severity of the injury is uncertain for now. For Kenny....well it's yet another disappointing blow. Considering the talent on his team, it's got to be more than a little frustrating to be staring at a 0-2 record. Randall Cobb continues to be dominant (128 and a TD) and Doug Martin didn't score but had a nice rushing game (144 yards). It was Drew Brees who was majorly disappointing. 2 Interceptions, and only 2 TD's passes for 13.5 points. That's not the kind of production you expect from a elite QB like Brees. Demaryius Thomas was also disappointing, but playing in that Denver offense, you will have those kind of weeks. I still think if anyone can climb out of an 0-2 hole it's Kenny. He has the team to do it. Once they click at once, he'll get back on track. He'll face Drew next to see if he can get win #1. As for Mayra, she'll take on Dad and hope to get this kind of production the rest of the way.

Game MVP
Aaron Rodgers (Bigger Balls)
480 passing yards, 4 passing TD's, 35 points
Rodgers has career day, Pack wallop Redskins 38-20

Springville Warrior (1-1)           117
Channel 4 News Team (1-1)        95

The Lawrence brothers made a statement this week. After scoring the lowest points and losing last week, both Leland and Eugene came back and won in dominant fashion. Eugene took out a very dangerous Albert team. Julio Jones was amazing with 11 catches, 182 yards and a score for 29.5 points. How about rookie Tavon Austin? Two TD catches and he chipped in 19 points. Eric Decker rebounded from his disaster week and had a solid day, and Antonio Gates was like the Gates of old with 8 catches for 124 yards. The only problem? Lack of good production from the RB and QB position. DeMarco Murray just didn't get a lot of touches. Trent Richardson though? That's two straight horrible games. Not a good start for Eugene's #1 pick. Russell Wilson has also been pretty average. Eugene's going to need those guys to really step it up. For Albert,  Peyton Manning "only" scored 20 points. He needed the Peyton Manning from last week this week, cause a lot of his team underperformed. Especially A.J. Green (41 yards) and Frank Gore (16 rushing yards). Mike Wallace bitched and complained and that worked out well for him (9 for 115 and a score) and Jermichael Finley is proving to be a valuable tight end as he scored but it just wasn't enough firepower to combat Eugene. Albert will look to rebound against Mark and his undefeated squad while Eugene takes on Ryan and his winless team in week 3.

Game MVP
Julio Jones (Springville-Warrior)
11 receptions, 182 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD, 29.5 points
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (11) makes a catch as St. Louis Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins (21) tried the tackle during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2013, in Atlanta. Jones scored on the play
