Every year there's a random off the radar guy that makes a splash in fantasy football. In the past it's been guys like Victor Cruz, Randall Cobb but the past couple of years it's been tight ends. Last year it was Julius Thomas, this year so far it's looking like Giants TE Larry Donnell. Donnell started the season off right with a TD and though most thought it might have been a garbage time fluke, so far it's not looking like it. Case in point, last night when Eli found him in the endzone 3 TIMES...it could've been a 4th too. Matt's the lucky beneficiary of Mr. Donnell's great game, and I'd be surprised if Matt didn't win now and go to 2-2. There were some hits and misses in this game. If you started Washington players...man it was brutal. The Thursday Night Curse fucking LIVES ON for me. I swear it's real. Outside of opening day and Thanksgiving, Thursday games are always BRUTAL for me. Injuries ALWAYS happen. Look already! In two weeks I've lost two guys to injures. Niles Paul got absolutely destroyed and knocked out late in the 1st half after catching a ball and was concussed. He at least finished with 60 yards, but the "what could've been" question sucks as I think he would've had a fine game had he played the whole game. Call that lucky break #1 for Kenny, who needs all the breaks he can get to avoid an 0-4 start. For my Dad, Alfred Morris had a rushing TD thankfully, but when the Redskins were in comeback mode it was Roy Helu getting all the work. That's going to happen all the time in these situations, just have to hope Alfred does enough, and he did this time. Mark has the daunting task of facing Eugene this week and it's a good news bad news thing. The good news is that Kirk Cousins was downright AWFUL. He looked terrible, made horrible throws and had 5 turnovers. Bad play, but at least Eugene has Cam Newton in his arsenal who Eugene has yet to start after 4 weeks. The bad news for Mark is Victor Cruz was great again for 6 receptions and 108. If he's back to form. this team got even more dangerous. Even with the bad Cousins start, Eugene is still predicted to win. Alex had it real bad, as DeSean Jackson did basically nothing. 1 catch for 9 yards. A measly half a point. Not good. Ryan's guys were pretty bad as well as Rashad Jennings wasn't needed much in this blowout and only had 55 rushing yards while Pierre Garcon was tied to Cousins' shitty performance and had only 2 catches for 28 receiving yards. I initially picked Ryan to win, but after this start, no doubt Mayra's coming out of this 4-0. Leland actually got a productive game from Rueben Randle who had 8 receptions for 89 yards. Week 3 award time.
Wane McGarity Stud Of The Week
Julio Jones (Rocket Man)
The guys beat my ENTIRE TEAM last week. Julio is proving that when healthy, he's without a doubt a top tier elite tight end.
Michael Wiley Dud Of The Week

32 pts..fuck em all they deserve this
Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award
Isaiah Crowell (Channel 4 News Team)
It was a mere hours before game time when it was announced Arian Foster was going to be inactive because of a nagging hamstring injury. Albert really didn't have much to chose from on his roster and took a gamble on undrafted rookie free agent and Browns back up Isaiah Crowell. It was a great move as Crowell ended up with 55 and a score. It was a major factor in helping Albert go to 2-1 by beating Drew.
Tony Romo Bad Decision Award
Alex Plays Khiry Robinson over Reggie Bush
Like Drew last week, this play didn't end up affecting the outcome of the game, but it was curious decision nonetheless. Not that Bush is all world, but I would think you'd still start him over the unheralded Khiry Robinson. Bush ended up with a score and 18 fantasy points while Robinson posted a mere 6.
