Thursday Night's game of Redskins-Giants was pretty quiet from our league's perspective. Only 3 teams had players from this matchup (though Matt did have 3 players on his own). Overall, it wasn't a terribly exciting game. A lot of it was just Giants game managing a comfortable lead throughout the game, which led to back and forth field goals for a stretch. Having Eli Manning going, I was super worried that Manning would end up with a disappointing game and quite possibly end up with 0 TD passes with the way the flow of the game was. Eli did finally throw a TD pass in the 4th quarter though..but it was to Odell Beckham Jr. (who Matt has) so Matt ended up netting the better of that combo. Luckily for me Eli threw a lucky ass TD near the end of the game where he went deep to Reuben Randle, the ball got tipped up and right into Randle's hands where he walked in. If I was Matt, I'd be pissed at the play. Eli ended up with a nice 21 point performance, but again, had it not being for that cheap TD, it would've been a horrible start for me. As for Matt, Beckham did his thing, mostly in the 2nd half. He ended up with 79 yards and a score. Jordan Reed also had a productive game with nearly 100 yards receiving BUT it could've been a GREAT game had Kirk Cousins not been so shitty and underthrew Reed twice when he was wide open in the endzone. Ryan had the only other play in the game with Pierre Garcon who didn't do much of note, just 5 catches for 64 yards. Onto the Week 2 Awards
Wane McGarity Stud Of The Week
Larry Fitzgerald (BigBadBob)
112 yards and 3 TD's that helped Dad get a HUGE win over Mayra. Proof that maybe Fitz isn't washed up just yet.
Michael Wiley Dud Of The Week
Jeremy Hill (Shock The Monkey)
Mark's going to be all over the negative awards this week. When you lose by a little over 2 points and your 1st round pick can't even score 1 point for you, you know this award belongs to you. Hill had two fumbles and was promptly benched the rest of the game against the Chargers and finished with a pathetic .60 points. Not at all what Mark envisioned from his #5th overall pick.
Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Start
DeAngelo Williams (Kumamon Express)
Take a well deserved bow DeAngelo, because you're the primarily reason I survived a scare against Eugene. Williams may never play another significant down in a fantasy game this season, but with Le'Veon Bell out the first two weeks of the season, he filled in beautifully. Surprisingly left unclaimed off waivers last week, I decided to nab him and play him over my first round pick C.J. Anderson. That was a risk that was handsomely paid off as Williams ended up with over 70 rushing yard and 3 TD's.
Jay Cutler Bad Decision Of The Week
Mark Plays An Inactive Alshon Jeffrey
The worst thing you can do in Fantasy Football is play an inactive player. To start your week off with a guaranteed zero all but kills your chances at a win (unless your Matt, who can still put up nearly 130 points with a zero, but in that case Roddy White actually played). So Mark plays Alshon Jeffrey who was declared inactive before the start of Sunday's game and ends up losing by 2.08 points. If he plays ANYONE in that position (even Charles Johnson, or Cole Beasley) he beats Kenny. Instead he's now 0-2. and could be 0-3 if he loses to Ryan next. Just a horrible move.
