Game of the Week! (w2)

Forgetting Brandon Marshall                     VS.                     The Biggest Fumblers
     Two stars collide in Fumblerville this week as the 1-0 Marshalls face off against division rival The Biggest Fumblers.  The Fumblers are the ESPN favorite in this one and are looking for a repeat performance from their heavy hitter Ray Rice.  Forgetting Brandon Marshall needs a larger output from their star wideout Roddy White who put up 8 last week.  Team Marshall will have a tough time keeping pace with the Fumbler runningbacks, but should still have steady production out of the law firm BenJarvus Green-Ellis and the rookie with the greatest nickname in football; Doug "the muscle hampster" Martin.  The Marshall's have team captain Brandon Marshall and Robbie Gould going tonight, so we should get a feel for how this matchup will go right away.

QB- Phillip Rivers at home against the Titans should have a very productive day.  Mark Sanchez was pleasantly surprising in week 1, but lets see if he can do that in Pittsburg.
Advantage: Forgetting Brandon Marshall

RB- Considering Peterson's great week one performance so close after ACL surgery his stock is rising as fast as anyone in fantasy football.  Rice and Peterson as a backfield is one tough duo, who I think needs a nickname.
Advantage: The Biggest Fumblers

WR- Fitzgerald continues to have quarterback problems in Arizona while Burleson and Robinson are both #3 fantasy receivers.  Theres no reason White and Marshall shouldn't have big fantasy days for Team Marshall and Antonio Brown was a consistent week-to-week scorer last year.
Advantage: Forgetting Brandon Marshall

TE- Jason Witten should be much more active this week after recovering from spleen issues in the offseason and week 1.  Until proven otherwise, Rob Gronkowski is the #1 tight end in football and therefore ends this argument quickly.
Advantage: The Biggest Fumblers

K/DEF- The eagles had 12 last week against Cleveland but now go up against a Baltimore offense that actually looked scary in their week 1 matchup.  The Bengals now get that enticing Cleveland offense and should pick off Brandon Weeden a couple times as well.  Both kickers should be fine and I'd give a slight edge to Gould.
Advantage: Forgetting Brandon Marshall

Final Thoughts:  First glances can be deceiving in this matchup and even though the Fumblers should have the biggest scorer of the week, Team Marshall should have consistent production 1-9 in his lineup.  I will go against ESPNs prediction of a 23 point win by the Fumblers.
TEAM MARSHALL WINS IN A CLOSE ONE
