Oh my, it's never old beating New York. Eli Manning's whiny face just reminds us that he cried his way out of San Diego to go play with the Giants. What an undeserved championship, but at least it came at the cost of Boston.
Matchup of the week is an easy pick again, the highest and 2nd highest scores square off this week and Jake (Miracle Workers - 121.44) eeks out the win over Kevin (Buc-ee's Boys - 120.20). Kevin is the uber-unluckstick this week where he would have beaten everyone else but comes up against the highest score. So many ways this could have gone to Kevin, it was so close, but one interesting one is Calvin Johnson has a good day and Roy Williams a poor one, even though they are on the same team. Manning the greater and Brees have great days, Andre Johnson is a monter, both teams get 5 double-digit scores. Jake loses Addai at the opening of his game, which may affect him for a while. Jake gets a few tackles from offensive players and that's another difference maker. Jake is currently crossing his fingers that the score corrections don't take anything away on Wednesday! Ask Mike about that one ;)
On the other end of the spectrum we have the 2nd worst and 4th worst scores in Kate (teen girl squad - 72.23) over dad ChumpBeaters (68.94). You might think Dad got a terrible performance from his defense, with 0 points from Carolina. But Kate outdoes him with a nice -1 from the Giants, who also don't do anything but allow a bunch of points to the Browns. Kate is in Honduras, though. I don't know what Dad's excuse is. Dad's Reggie Wayne is a beast but Kate's Vincent Jackson manages to one up him for real this time with a great game. Kate has the lowest winning score and is taking over the luckstick prize.
Miah (Browns Jr. - 74.52) doesn't live up to his new team name and pays the price against the Winklers (Sooners - 78.08). Mr. Browns doesn't play Braylon Edwards who scores a billion points and would have easily won Miah the matchup if he had played in any of the WR or flex spots. Miah has the career days from Thomas Jones and Tampa Bay's D but it's not enough without Edwards. The Winklers have more even scoring, but too many people I've never heard of on that team. Keller? Camarillo? I seem to remember hearing of Gus Ferotte about 20 years ago...
Stitch (Rust Belt - 87.46) manages to beat a good team in Uncle Chris (Space Cadets - 81.07) by only playing half a squad. I was going to say he's gone totally deliquent, but he's already set a lineup for next week finally. And all but the QB are actually playing that week. Stitch actually would have gotten a few points from his Seattle D if he put them in, but all he needs this week is Romo and Portis to beat Uncle C. Portis gets his revenge after being traded by Uncle Chris for a hill of beans last year. He says he's learned his lesson, and now we can believe him. Uncle Chris gets a nice day from MoJo when Fred Taylor gets hurt early, and Morris might make me sorry I traded him. Uncle Chris loses to Romo on his last healthy week, and now gets salt in those wounds with his starting WR1 and WR2 getting thrown to by a backup.
I (Juicers - 92.68) roll over Rowan (Aspire Mi Toro - 50.24) who posts the lowest score this week. Rowan has a nice game from Orton and... an ok game from Stokely who he just picked up, but after that things fall off quickly. Warner, Fitzgerald and Barber are enough for me to win handily, but I lose Taylor to injury, with a nice set of easy games coming up. Fortunately I don't pay the full price for that since I see Uncle Chris's MJD this week with the Jags on a bye. Jason Elam has an outstanding day kicking 5 field goals including the game winner.
Brandon/Jim (Chunder Blunders - 70.88) falls again to Mike (Zingers - 80.87). CB has 6 players total up to 10 points, and that's really just too much to overcome the rest of the way. Peterson and Leron McClain have terrible games against terrible run defenses, to prove that you never know what's going to happen in this thing. Derek Anderson comes back from the dead against a excellent defense, to further prove it. Mike gets just enough to win by putting up ok numbers across the board. Hester is starting to look like more than a return guy, but the rest of Mike's depth disappears this week.
Mom (Rockhoppers - 75.05) is rapidly falling off the top of the fantasy heap as she a 4th straight, this time to Ben (thehousebergerbuilt - 119.04) Ben's been putting up good scores, even with some starters out with injuries. I still think Mike has one of the deepest teams, but Ben has to be close. Eli can't do anything for Mom Monday night - maybe they'll send him to LA, too. Frank Gore continues to kick butt, trying to take after me and my domination of WOHS FFB. Ben gets to start Rodgers against Seattle, which is always a nice QB matchup, and Correll Buckhalter doesn't seem to slow down from Westbrook's torrid pace.
I went from worst kicker performances on average to getting the best performance so far this year from a kicker. And then Elam goes on bye. Shrug. Rowan gets a weak 11 points from his drafted players this week for a record low. Mike has lost 2 games by an average of less than 2 points. Kate has a low score despite setting a new record high for receiving yards. While Jake puts up a great score despite a record low in rushing yards.
Good luck everyone - see you next week.
