Can't believe it's FINALLY here. Week 1 of the fantasy season. Draft is done, and each team starts from scratch at 0-0. Let's not waste time..here's this week's matchups and predictions!
Catch My Javelin! vs
Hoosier Daddy
All Time Record: Ryan Leads Series 4-3
Key Players
Catch My Javelin!: Ben Roethlisberger (Browns), Alshon Jeffrey (Redskins), Brandon Marshall(Cowboys), Jordan Howard (Falcons), Jordan Reed (Eagles)
Hoosier Daddy: Kirk Cousins (Eagles), T.Y. Hilton (Rams), Michael Crabtree (Titans), Ezekiel Elliott (Giants), Leonard Fournette (Texans)
Wild Cards
Catch My Javelin!: Corey Coleman and Derrick Henry Plays. Are Cobb and Marshall too old to produce?
Hoosier Daddy: No DeSean Jackson. No Luck for Hilton.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Ryan Wins
I Say: Ryan wins. I'm not going to get TOO worked up about it since it's week 1, but I find out appropriate and hilarious that we haven't even started the season and already I get totally fucked in Week 1. Not only does somehow Zeke's suspension get upheld BUT he's allowed to play Week 1, but thanks to Hurricane Irma and the lack of common sense from the NFL (don't see why the Bucs-Dolphins can't play at a neutral site instead of having to take a bye and play 16 STRAIGHT WEEKS OF FOOTBALL, but that's what's happening) I don't have my #1 player, Mike Evans. Yep, it's a fucked up world where Mike Evans, not Zeke, has to sit out. I'm not winning this week, in fact I sense a blowout (hopefully not like last year's record setting one). Even with no DeSean Jackson and Scott Tolzien throwing to T.Y. Hilton, I don't stand a chance. Outside of maybe Reed and Jordan Howard and quite possibly Corey Coleman, none of my team has high scoring potential. Looks like an 0-1 start right off the bat. Yay!
No Soup For You vs
BigBadBob
All Time Record: Leland leads series 5-2
Key Players
No Soup For You: Matt Ryan (Bears) A.J. Green (Ravens) Keenan Allen (Broncos) Michael Thomas (Vikings) Lamar Miller (Jaguars) David Johnson (Lions)
BigBadBob: Aaron Rodgers (Seahawks) DeAndre Hopkins (Jaguars) Devante Adams (Seahawks) Isaiah Crowell (Steelers) Devonta Freeman (Bears) Tyler Eifert (Ravens)
Wild Cards
No Soup For You: Tough matchup for Keenan Allen. Is Lamar Miller going to bounce back?
BigBadBob: Tough Matchup for Rodgers/ Adams. Questionable Flex play in Funchess.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Leland wins
I Say: Leland wins. Poor Dad has to start his season against Leland's top rated team. It doesn't help that Aaron Rodgers doesn't have the best of matchups. Giving the edge to Leland here.
Rocket Man vs
Easy Beasley
All Time Record: Eugene leads series 2-1
Key Players
Rocket Man: Matthew Stafford (Cardinals) Julio Jones (Bears) Kelvin Benjamin (49ers) Melvin Gordon (Broncos) Rob Gronkowski (Chiefs)
Easy Beasley: Marcus Mariota (Raiders) Antonio Brown (Browns) Christian McCaffrey (49ers) Travis Kelce (Patriots)
Wild Cards
Rocket Man: Tough Matchup for Stafford and Melvin Gordon. Is C.J. Anderson the lead back?
Easy Beasley: No Ajayi/Landry. How much work will Ingram get? WR Production from Maclin/Shepard.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Eugene wins
I Say: Eugene wins. Kenny and me are the kings of bad luck in fantasy sports and here's proof why. Kenny makes his comeback after a 1 year sabbatical and what happens? He loses his top running back in Jay Ajayi and 2nd best receiver in Jarvis Landry because of the rescheduling of the Dolphins-Bucs game. Hello 0-1. I think Kenny would've have a solid chance to win at full strength but without two main contributors I think Eugene pulls off the W.
Light's Broken Bots vs
Shock The Monkey
All Time Record: Marc leads series 4-3
Key Players
Light's Broken Bots: Tom Brady (Chiefs) Dez Bryant (Giants) Jordy Nelson (Seahawks) Demaryius Thomas (Chargers) Martavis Bryant (Browns)
Shock The Monkey: Russell Wilson (Packers) Brandin Cooks (Chiefs) Doug Baldwin (Packers) Tyreek Hill (Patriots) DeMarco Murray (Raiders) Delanie Walker (Raiders)
Wild Cards
Light's Broken Bots: Tough Matchups for Dez/Jordy. Just how bad will the RB's be?
Shock The Monkey: Matt Forte!? What will Tyreek do?
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Matt wins
I Say: Marc wins. Yahoo has Matt winning this easily but I think it'll be a close matchup and I think Marc has the slightly better team this week. Dez and Jordy are studs but their matchups aren't ideal (beatable, but still not ideal) while it'll be interesting to see how Matt's RB fare. I think it'll be a solid matchup to start the season off. You could be looking at a Finals preview possibly
SCLSU MudDogs vs
BABY CARROTS
All Time Record: Alex leads series 2-1
Key Players
SCLSU MudDogs: Drew Brees (Vikings) Le'veon Bell (Browns) Marshawn Lynch (Titans) Jimmy Graham (Packers)
BABY CARROTS: Cam Newton (49ers) Emmanuel Sanders (Chargers) Allen Robinson (Texans) Todd Gurley (Colts) Dalwin Cook (Saints)
Wild Cards
SCLSU MudDogs: WR play. How good will Adrian Peterson be?
BABY CARROTS: No Devante Parker, Jaquizz Rodgers.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Alex wins
I Say: Drew wins. I'm going to go a bit of an upset here as even without Devante Parker and Jaquizz Rodgers, I think Drew has a chance to win this week. He'll need his guys like Cam, Gurley and Cook to step up but it's entirely doable. It'd be something if last year's worst team in the league defeated our reigning champion in Week 1.
Channel 4 News Team vs
Woe Is You
All Time Record: Albert Leads series 4-3
Key Players
Channel 4 News Team: Derek Carr (Titans) Amari Cooper (Titans) Golden Tate (Cardinals) Stefon Diggs (Saints) LeSean McCoy (Jets) Carlos Hyde (Panthers) Ty Montgomery (Seahawks)
Woe Is You: Odell Beckham Jr. (Cowboys) Kareem Hunt (Patriots) Greg Olsen (49ers) Terrelle Pryor (Eagles)
Wild Cards
Channel 4 News Team: Tough Matchups for Tate/Montgomery. Will Witten Produce at TE?
Woe Is You: Dalton at QB. Will Powell get the majority of the snaps over Forte? Kareem Hunt's debut.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mike Wins
I Say: Albert wins. Yahoo has this neck and neck with the slight edge to Mike, but I think Albert has the better overall team and I'll give the edge to him. Should be a good one though.
Good luck everyone. Week 1 starts tomorrow!
