So each week I will provide a quick recap of the games as seen below. I have found that fantasy football provides more drama and craziness that most would imagine and it is also fun to point out how someone got crushed, got extremely lucky or downright unlucky. Have fun and check back each Tuesday for a new recap. Also, waivers clear tomorrow morning so make your moves today and submit your claims. Remember that when you use a waiver claim you head to the back of the line. The order does not reset each week to reward the biggest loser either.
Nicks Got This vs. Prestige Worldwide – The Worrell brothers squared off in week one and gave a pretty good fight. Solid output from both sides, but in the end Nicks Got This only needed an extra point on Monday night from Janikowski for the win. He got plenty more than that as Sebastian decided to tie the NFL record for longest field goal. Prestige Worldwide could have considered starting the 32 from Steve Smith over the 2 of Jeremy Maclin, but who was really trusting Cam Newton to throw for 400?
Team Grape Leaves vs. Blount’s Blunts – Other than Stafford’s 22, Grape Leaves could not put up double digits from any other player on his team this week. Even the 28 of Kenny Britt on the bench would not have been enough to overcome the smokey haze from Blount’s Blunt. Of Course Blount was the real disappointment from the Blunts and he might have to reconsider a team name change as LaGarrette is trending to score 16 total points all year! Forte’s 24 on the bench look pretty tasty moving forward and maybe drafting 3 RBs in the first 3 picks was a better move than originally thought.
I’m Lov’n the West Side vs. Goldteef Shinin’ – Besides the fact that I had to check the spelling of the team names like three times in this matchup, there was really not drama at all. That is because West Side punched PW right in his Goldteef and the fight was over. Usually when someone gets only 3 points from their kicker and defense combined that could spell trouble, but when Goldteef took a negative 7 between his kicker and defense you knew there was going to be problems.
Singletary’s Bad Dream vs. Team Cromartie + 8 – Team Cromartie had to be feeling pretty good up 23 going into Monday nights’ game. Facing Tom Brady and OchoCinco but having New England’s kicker on your side had to feel pretty safe. Of course Brady went crazy in the second half and dropped 37 and made up the difference and more! Cromartie could have used Benson’s 18 points on the bench over the 2 from Mendenhall to get the win and even a 26 points difference between his defense and Singletary’s did not provide enough to slow down Brady being Brady. Tough game to watch I am sure.
Mike Vick in a Box vs. Raw Dawg Kings – With no Monday night players this was decided Sunday night but still provided the closest matchup of the week. In the end Mike Vick stuck it in Raw Dawg’s box (sexual innuendos aplenty) and pulled out the 1 point win. Even with Nate Kaeding providing a big doughnut for Mike Vick in a Box he still got the win. In the end this game came down to defense with the 21 of the Bears being just too much for the 17 from the Eagles. Not sure that Raw Dawg could have even considered starting Jason Campbell over Matt Schaub so last year’s champ ends up going down in the first round.
Team Show Me Your TDs vs. Rock Chalk – In the end injuries might have done in Rock Chalk this week. Steven Jackson had 12 points in the first 3 minutes of the game but left with a quad injury and Dez Bryant tossed up 13 on the first series only to suffer a leg injury himself and making him pretty much worthless the rest of the game. Aaron Hernandez gave TDs all he needed on Monday night to pull away and get the week one win.
Move of the Week: Usually in the first week it is all about putting in your starters you drafted and go to war. But Mike Vick in the box decided on playing Greg Olsen and his 7 points and leaving Owen Daniels on the bench with his 1. This was by far a great call going with the unknown QB in Cam versus the known in Schaub versus the Manningless Colts. Great call.
Oops of the Week: Prestige Worldwide should have made a call to Mike Vick in a Box and hopped on the Cam train because he left all 32 of Steve Smith on the bench for Maclin who took his first snaps of the year in this game.
Team that Wish They Played Someone Else: Despite outscoring 7 other teams, Rock Chalk took a loss to the high scorer of the week. Suck it Cam
Team Glad they Played Who They Did: I’ Lov’n the West Side could have only beaten 2 of 11 teams this week and drew one of them in Goldteef Shinin’. Matchups mean everything and sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
Enjoy the posts, make those moves and Viva Las Vegas!
