<p style='text-align: justify;]A short review of the week 2 match-ups.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Canuck Warriors defeated by King of Karlos (50 v 94)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Canuck Warriors - A wholly disappointing round for the Warriors, with only Teddy Bridgewater coming to the party. Teddy threw for 153 yards, 1 TD and even ran one in himself in the Vikings divisional win over the Lions. But outside of Teddy, it was pretty much a disaster. Allen went from chocolates to boiled lollies (16 yards and a fumble), the Ravens D/ST was obliterated by Oakland, and whilst Bradford (224 yards, 1 TD, 1 fumble) contributed a little, he, and the rest of the Eagles, were just awful for much of their clash against the Cowboys. Ingram (53 yards, 1 TD) struggled against a much-improved Bucs D, but at least got a TD, whilst Stewart (62 yards) and Maclin (57 yards) were so-so in their teams losses. Cook (47 yards) and Jennings (12 yards) did little to inspire much confidence in them being consistent contributors this season. I said last week that they lack depth at RB and consistency at QB, and so it proved to be again this week and something Canuck are either going to have trade to improve or start looking ahead to 2016. Mallet posted some good numbers on the bench, but I am not sure he is the answer at QB for Canuck, and with Freeman the only RB on the bench, who seems second in line to Coleman at the Falcons, things aren't looking promising down Canuck way
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]King of Karlos - Another solid performance by KoK, but this time rewarded with a win. Brees (255 yards, 1 TD, I INT) and Manning (292 yards, 2 TDs) led the team admirably (not so in real life unfortunately for Saints and Giants fans respectively), and they got good support from Landry (110 yards), Watkins (60 yards, 1 TD) and Baltimore's kicker Tucker, who kicked superbly for 4 field goals and 3 extra point scores in the Ravens loss to the Raiders. Olsen (70 yards) was better this week, Coleman (32 yards, 1 TD) came through with a TD to boost his meagre stat line, and Cooks (62 yards) improved on last week but is perhaps still underwhelming the KoK coaching staff. The good news for KoK is that this win was without their two best players contributing, with Lacy carted off early in the Packers win over Seattle with ankle issues, and of course Bell remaining on suspension. They also seem to have plucked a diamond from the rough in Matt Jones who tore up the Rams vaunted D for 123 yards and 2 TDs. A critical win for KoK as they need to keep pace with the division leaders whilst bell sits out another 1 (or 2??) games and Lacy deals with an injury.

<p style='text-align: justify;]Brady's Bunch defeat Rigil Kentaurus (117 v 82)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Brady's Bunch - Roethlisberger continued his super start to the season and led the Bunch to a dominant victory over a below average Rigil. Big Ben surgically dissected the 49er's D for 369 yards, and 3 TDs. He was ably supported by Edelman (97 yards, 2 TDs) and Gostkowski (4 FGs and 4 XPs), both terrific for the Pats in their win over the Bills, and the Cardinals superb D/ST (2 TDs, 2 INTs, 2 sacks) in their win over Chicago. This was an impressive win considering Cutler (120 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) left the Bears v Cardinals game early (and looks to be spending a few weeks on the pine) (225 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT), Ivory only managing 57 yards, Blount not troubling the score keepers, and Colston (69 yards), Daniels (19 yards) and Garcon (23 yards, 1 TD) carrying on their mediocre starts to the year. Without a back-up QB in his squad, the next few weeks might be a little challenging for the Bunch.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Rigil Kentaurus - Despite solid performances from QBs Tannehill (359 yards, 2 TDs) and Rivers (241 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT), and Decker terrific in the Jets win over Indy, Rigil were very ordinary for the most part of this round. Murray has crashed back to earth in Philly and must surely be questioning the sanity of his move from the Cowboys - 2 rushing yards from last years best RB, are you kidding?? He did play a small role in Philly's passing game (53 yards), but this must be small solace for Rigils GM. Meanwhile, back in Dallas, McFadden racked up 31 yards on the ground and another 21 yards through the air, and with Romo out for at least a few weeks, his workload might be on the increase considering Brandon Wheeden is the replacement QB. Elsewhere, Tate was solid for the Lions but couldn't bring up a TD to top off a pretty good day, Adams was somewhat usurped by Montgomery as the WR2 in Green Bay against Seattle, and Whitten put up his usual 50-odd yards. With Stafford on the bench, perhaps Rigil could have a chat to the Bunch about a possible trade??
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Yo Yo Marshawn v Billy Bass (90 v 87)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Yo Yo Marshawn - A hard fought win by Yo Yo Marshawn, which could've been a good deal easier had they got their team selection right! Manning bounced back against the Chiefs in TNF (256 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT) and Fitzpatrick (244 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) came to the rescue to haul the team over the line in the Jets win over Indy. Forte (105 all-purpose yards) was again strong, and Eifert (49 yards, 1 TD) posted another score as the Bengals got a good win over the Chargers. Matthews (80 yards, 1 TD) came good late for Philly, but like most of his team mates, was pretty ordinary, whilst Martin (98 all-purpose yards) was solid again for Tampa and just needs to put some TD's on the board to get him back to his high-scoring ways. Concerning for Yo Yo Marshawn was Lynch's struggles (61 all-purpose yards) (against a good Packers D admittedly), Brown (45 yards) again showing promise but delivering little, and the disgraceful effort from the Fins (23 pts against), who not only put negative points on the board, but allowed Robinson and Bortles to post tremendous numbers whilst ON THE TEAMS BENCH! Whilst it is always great to see your bench players doing well, doing so at the expense of your D/ST is a particular type of frustration one must admit.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Billy Bass - Another team with a surplus of good performing QBs they may want to take to the trade table to solidify other lines, Billy Bass needed just a little more from their lesser lights in a very close loss to Yo Yo Marshawn. Rodgers (249 yards, 2 TDs) was again sublime, whilst Palmer picked the Bears D apart time and again (185 yards, 4 TDs). But only Green (45 yards, 1 TD) could hit double figures among the rest. Forsett (80 all-purpose yards) was solid if unspectacular in the Ravens loss to Oakland, Mason (26 rushing yards) was barely used by the Rams, Hopkins (53 yards) was targeted a lot but wasn't able to take full advantage, whilst Cameron (62 yards on 4 targets) made the most of his opportunities. However, with Dalton looking good again, Hilton still to come back, Woodhead again more than useful in the run and passing game, and Johnson looking good in the Cardinals win, Billy Bass remain contenders.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Let's go Buccos!! defeated by Jimbos Juggernaut (84 v 118)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Let's Go Buccos!! - Another loss for the Bucco's, but a case of what might have been with their bench easily outscoring their on-field team. Wilson was good once he got his run game going, but Manziel, who despite hitting up Benjamin twice on big plays, was not brilliant in the Browns win. Julio Jones was beastlike against the Giants - targeted 15 times for 13 catches and 135 yards, and just lacked a score to round out a brilliant performance, and sanders returned to form for the Bronco's with 2 TDs and 87 yards. But the rest of the scorecard looks pretty bleak - Sankey ran for 42 yards, Cunningham caught 4 balls for 27 yards, Coleman caught 3 for 33 yards, and the former high-flying saint now under-used Seahawk, Jimmy Graham was barely sighted against the Pack - 1 catch for 11 yards! But the real story here lies in the points missed - Carr (26), Marshall (16), Bernard (13) and Smith (20) - this game should have been much closer and the Bucco's are sure to be pretty damn flat over the coming days. The good news is, you only have a few days to suffer before we are back into it again!
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Jimbos Juggernaut - The Juggernauts will be pleased to come away with a win in this one after both of their star QB's put in less than great performances (though to be fair to Romo, he was forced to leave the game with a serious injury). Romo was 18 of 27 for 195 yards until the injury, whilst Luck (250 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs) was well beaten by a Revis-led Jets D in MNF. But the RBs and WRs for the Juggernaught's were very good, Brown leading the way with 195 yards and 1 TD, and Charles (125 yards, 1 TD), McCoy (100+ all-purpose yards) and Cooper (109 yards, 1 TD) all excellent. The Juggernaught's also had the Patriots D/ST in great form against the Bills and Janikowski perfect against the Ravens - all of which adding up to a dominant performance, even with the rookie Detroit RB posting a donut. Outside of Cousins, there was little to get too excited about on the bench, though given the form of their starters, the Juggernaught's are well placed for season 2015.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]The Jug-O-Naughts defeated by Team Stowie (106 v 113)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]The Jug-O-Naughts - Another poor performance by Indy recruits Johnson and Gore has left the O-Naughts at 0-2 and desperate for a win to get their season back on track. Brady again led the way for the O-Naughts throwing 3 TDs and 466 yards to lead the O'Naughts, and was well supported Matty Ryan (363 yards, 1 TD) performance, a brilliant game by AP (134 yards) and a perfect performance by Crosby in the Packs win at Lambeau. Unfortunately though, Gore (57 yards and a fumble) and Johnson (27 yards) were, like the rest of Indy, well below par, whilst Wallace and Rudolph couldn't go over 40 yards (though Rudolph at least scored a TD). The Texans D/ST was less than inspiring with only 2 sacks and 1 INT against the Panthers. DeAngelo Williams put up big numbers on the bench, and whilst they may continue for a couple of weeks yet, once Bell comes back I suspect the well dries up significantly for Williams - it is thus surprising the O-Naughts aren't getting as much out of him whilst they can now&amp;hellip;
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Team Stowie - Another week, and another round of big scores from Team Stowie, who are in very impressive form early in the year. Scam Newton led the way with 195 yards and 2 TDs through the air, and 76 yards and 1 TD rushing yards - an outstanding all-round game from Newton. Rookie QB Mariota (257 yards, 2 TDs and 2 fumbles) found things much harder going in week 2 but still managed a decent fantasy score. Team Stowies RBs were not so impressive, with Anderson (27 yards) and Miller (42 all-purpose yards) barely troubling the scorer. But the teams WRs were very strong, Cobb posting 116 yards against the Seahawks D, Smith Snr (150 yards) winding back the clock, and the Gronk being, well, the Gronk (113 yards, 1 TD)! Even The Crow posted solid numbers (72 yards) and a TD in the Browns win over the Titans. With Murray and Boldin scoring well on the bench, Hillman handcuffed to Anderson and Taylor showing an ability to score TDs (and rack up INTs tbh), Team Stowie appear to be well placed to seriously contend this year.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Team Simonoz defeated by Waito's Warriors (96 v 98)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Team Simonoz - A heartbreaking loss for Team Siminoz, who must've been cursing the Colts throughout MNF as Vinatieri could only manage 2 shots on goal - and missed one to essentially cost Team Simonoz what appeared certain victory going into the Colts v Jets fixture. Kaepernick (335 yards throwing, 51 yards rushing, 2 TDs) again played well despite being well beaten by the Steelers, OBJ posted the numbers expected of him - 146 yards and 1 TD from 7 receptions, Williams (84 yards, 1 TD) took up the Bryant-less slack at Dallas, Yeldon (83 all-purpose yards) looked very good for the Jags, and the Bronco's D/ST showed for the second week running that they might just be the best D/ST in the game. Unfortunately for Team Simonoz, their D/ST's efforts also cost them significant points, with their harassment of Chiefs, and Simonoz's, QB Smith causing him to post very poor numbers in TNF (191 yards, 2 INTs). Other less than illustrious efforts were posted by Hill, who fumbled twice and only picked up 39 rushing yards, &amp;lsquo;little Gronk' (58 yards) was unable to replicate last week's efforts, and Evans didn't suit up for Tampa. Losses like these are as tough as they come, but the season is young and they have time to make amends.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Waito's Warriors - After a poor start to the season last week, Waito's Warriors showed much spirit to quickly bounce-back, and were well led by Flacco (384 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT) and rookie QB Winston, (207 yards, 1 TD and 1 rushing TD). Megatron (83 yards, 1 TD) looked much more like the Megatron of old, Thomas (116 yards) was heavily targeted by Manning in the Bronco's win, and Melvin Gordon (98 all-purpose yards), much like Yeldon, looked excellent against a pretty stout Bengals D. Last weeks big scores, Hyde and Morris, were less prominent, so it must be pleasing to see other contributors to the team score this week. Bennett looks to be a 40- 60 yard man each week, so his ceiling is perhaps limited by scoring opportunities which might be an area of concern going forward for this squad, even with Donnell on the bench, and the Seahawks D/ST looks much less scary without Chancellor - as a high draft selection, Waito must be hoping the two parties quickly come to an agreement and the Seahawks D gets back to its bruising ways. Notably, Wauito had some big scoring players warming the bench, with Fitzgerald going very big in the Cardinals win over the Bears, and Crabtree and Baldwin terrific for Oakland and Seattle respectively.
