Last year it was Deshaun Watson, this year, Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes had the highest upside pretty much out of all the QB's taken after top 8 or so and boy has he delivered it in spades. Matt didn't use him week 1, but decided to take the gamble of using him instead of Brady in Week 2 and boy did that work out perfectly. He basically single handedly won Matt's matchup against Kenny thanks to his 6 TD performance. Once again Matt has a QB controversy, though at least this time he didn't spend high draft capital on either Brady (7th round Keeper) or Mahomes (9th round). Gives Matt some solid trade bait with Brady as well. There was other action in Week 2 so let's get to the recap!

Week 2 Notes: Well...there's proof that Thursday's starts don't matter. Despite the slow start, Albert ended up kicking my ass and getting blowout of the week on top of that. Basically it was the Kirk Cousins-Stefon Diggs show and they killed me dead. The dagger was the 75 yard connection and I was never able to recover after that. Funny how you go from thinking you have a championship caliber team to having major questions on just how good your team is after one week. For Albert, what a great 2-0 start, taking out 2 tough opponents. He'll have to do it without Joe Mixon, but he'll get him back shortly. He'll have another test in Kenny next week. As with every year, there's always a team or two that I hate on paper and that shouldn't be that good, yet keeps winning and this year it's Mark, the defending champion. He BARELY survived Drew, as they had the closest matchup of the week, but hey he survived and that's all that matters. He gets a cush matchup next week against Alex's banged up team so there's a good shot he ends up 3-0. Drew, much like everyone this week, didn't really lose because he sucked, he just got outscored. It's definitely a tough loss and it doesn't get any easier with Eugene next up, but Drew's team can score and hang with anyone in the league. Dad should get some of a confidence back as that was a very impressive win for him against Leland this week. His team showed it's potential when it all comes together and it's even more impressive that he did it without Devonta Freeman. He'll take me on next week, and the way my team is playing, combined with his team surging, should be a close one. For Leland...here we go again. For whatever ever reason Leland's guys just don't all click. This time, it's looking like David Johnson's just not going to be the elite back he was drafted or kept as and that's thanks to a horrible offense in general in Arizona. Not only did Leland lose and lose easily, but he put up the least amount of points in the week. He was the only team to not score 100 pts (Albeit by less than a point). Definitely a head scratcher because he has the talent. Maybe a matchup with Ryan is what he needs to get his groove back. For Kenny..man he was just the unlucky one who had the "privilege" to play against Patrick Mahomes. His team was solid, but he literally got beat by 3 guys (Mahomes, Juju, and Thielen) The rest of Matt's team was awful, and that has to be frustrating when you have the more balanced team and just lost because a couple guys went batshit bonkers. Kenny's also in dangerous territory as he was hoping for a 2-2 start, and has now dropped both his first two games. It doesn't get any easier against Albert in Week 3. For Matt, he has to be pleased with the Mahomes unearthing, though I still think he needs to make some moves to round out his team. Mahomes reminds me of the time Matt picked up Odell Beckham off waivers..anyone remember how Matt finished the year that happened? Matt will take on Mike next week and don't let Mike fool you, his team is better than his record..in fact let's segue to that matchup as Mike is seriously just having the worst luck in opponents early in the season. Last week, he faced the 2nd highest scoring team in the league, this week, he puts up another respectable outing (that would've beaten 7 other teams) and faces the offensive force that is Eugene. Eugene put up a whopping 141 points and he's definitely looking like the top team to beat so early in the season. Even with Julio not doing much, he has more than offensive weapons to pick up the slack. He'll take on Drew which should be another high scoring affair. For Mike, if the playoffs started today..he'd be the 6th side despite the 0-2 record because of his points. Sucks to lose when your guys play great, but at least he knows his team seems to be pretty solid and hopefully the luck corrects itself. All in all as a whole a pretty high scoring week for all. Basically every team scored 100 points which just shows how deep the competition is going to be this year. After two weeks, we're down to 3 undefeated teams left and 3 winless teams left, one streak is guaranteed to end in the Albert/Kenny matchup. We'll see where we stand after week 3!
