My two cents:
.01¢) Troy's Team Suck for Luck has now broken the all-time league record for name changes in a season. This breaks the previous high of 2, set by everyone else. What can you do with 3 name changes that you can't do with 2? We're still waiting for comment. I've got a pretty good one I think he could use for his next name, but we probably shouldn't give him anymore ideas.
.02¢) Dave (FormerlyKnownAsFavre) was predicted by ESPN to lose last week by 44 points, then went on to beat me by double digits. Logically, I filed a formal complain with ESPN and specifically asked for a human being to respond to it. Like a kid in December, i'm eagerly awaiting a reply. Maybe they'll reverse the outcome. I'll keep everyone filled in.
.03¢) (bonus cent) The biggest Brett Favre fan I know is Dave, the owner of Team Favre. And as a good Favre fan should, he would always use his first or 2nd round pick on Favre to ensure that no one else took him. This year Favre may be down, but he is certainly not out.
In fact, as you can see from a quick player search, the ol' gunslinger is still available for pickup (gasp). I say this not to start mob panic and rioting as we all throw hundreds of FAAB dollars into an unprecedented bidding war, but to draw your attention to his ownership percentages. 0.6% of fantasy players own #4 right now. Man, there's even some extra hardcore nerds that are STARTING Favre right now. Thats right Dave, 0.3% of America is starting Brett Favre on their fantasy team... and you're not one of them! As your friend and Favre-fanatic accountability partner, I'm telling you Favre should be owned in the BIG TIME come tomorrow morning. Oh, and I noticed he's got a bye this week, so don't go crazy and start him or anything.
This weeks winners
- Hunk Hoisters (over ConVicks)
I anticipate the newly acquired Daniel Thomas and Jimmy Graham suiting up for the ConVicks. Just a word of advice, when your opponent only has 1 active runningback, don't trade him one of yours. Graham has a great shot for a third straight 100 yard week. Brees & Bradshaw alone are expected to put up 41 ConVick points. The Hunk Hoisters still have some great backs and receivers who can really explode, but many go up against tough defenses. If Brees can have a special day the ConVicks have a great chance.
- The Biggest Fumblers (over Big Time Johnson)
Johnson has his hands tied this week with V-Jax and Rivers on the bye. Andy Dalton will be at the helm with only Ray Rice and Wes Welker to hold down the fort. If I was Ryan, I'd be hoping for about 4 Dalton-Green touchdown throws. The Fumblers have few bye issues to deal with and Nicks could have his best week of the season here. Fumbler runningbacks will be beating the ConVicks black and purple after this one.
- Donkey Power (over Formerly Known as Favre)
This one may be extremely close, Miles Austin and Roddy White should combine for more than 30 and no one can forget what Vick did last time he faced the Redskins. Rodgers could have an even better day against the Rams however, and the Packers D should put up some pretty digits also. Donkey also has the Tight End advantage with Witten over Clark and BenJarvus Green-Ellis is questionable for this game.
My Team - vs. Point Machine
The second place Point Machine will take a shot at the league's last undefeated in the Game of the Week. The stage is set as both teams have little bye worries and are at full power to go to battle. Point Machine will start the streaking Eli Manning at QB over Tony Romo, with McCoy and Forte at Runningback. Jennings is the top wideout with fellow Eli's fellow Giants targets Manningham and Cruz at 2 and 3. If Eli has a good day, it might be over for the minus. Team minus will have the Carolinian rookie sensation Cam Newton under center and statistically the best back in the league: Fred Jackson. I also think this is the week Peyton Hillis puts his contract gripes behind him and starts showing some 2010 style hard-nosed running. This game is tough to predict, and I think we'll know the winner by 3pm central time Sunday.
Position Advantage:
QB: My Team -
RB: Point Machine
WR: Point Machine
TE: My Team -
K/Def: My Team -
Prediction: Point Machine
Eli shares the love with Super Mario and V-Cruz, and the Point Machine moves into first place.
I'm just being told there's one matchup left this week:
Thats right everyone!! Now that we have the Game of the Week out of the way, its time for the Game of the year! NO. The game of the decade!!! Brought to you by the good people at Clorox (thats right, we got a sponsor), Its the battle of the winless wonders, the collision of the cellar dwellars, the suck for Luck sweepstakes, its the 2011 Clorox Toilet Bowl!!
Team Suck for Luck
To ensure suckiness, team SFL scheduled byes for three of his top players. Andre Johnson is injured, Flacco plays for a team that never passes, Steven Jackson has been injured all year, and Brett Favre thinks Hines Ward should retire.
Team Wright On
In an attempt at even more suckiness, team WO scheduled FIVE byes for his players including his second best player Chris Johnson. 4 of his 6 runningbacks will be out this week, Knowshon Moreno has been the worst pick in the draft and Jacoby Ford is the fastest man alive who's never been told the rules of football.
And the frontrunner for the Andrew Luck sweepstakes and the 2011 Clorox Toilet Bowl winner will be:
TEAM WRIGHT ON!!!
Thats right Casey, despite Troy's moves change his name to his mission statement and draft old-man-superteam Hines Ward and Donovan McNabb, YOU have outdone him. Brady may throw a few touchdowns here and there, but out of your 5 guys at runningback and receiver, you might actually score less than 20 points. Its ashame you two can't go on to 0-14 together, but math simply won't have it. To clarify, I think Team Suck for Luck outscores Wright On this week. Personally though, I'm pulling for a tie. Oh man would that be awesome.
==========
A lot more byes to deal with this week, so good luck plugging the holes. The good news is if you can put up 90 you've got a good chance.
