Week 4 Recap:

JD (4-0) 70.9 vs. Mike (1-3) 66.7

This turned out to be the game of the week by a margin of 4.2 points. Just goes to show you, you’d rather be lucky than good. But ideally, you’re both. JD had 25 from Davante Adams before he got injured and the rest of his team scored 8.1 or less. Mike actually had two players in double digits, with Michael Thomas getting 13.1 and Deshaun Watson getting a humbling 11.6. Absolutely disgusting and you both deserved to lose.

Moose (3-1) 137.7 vs. Joe (2-2) 144.2

Well you can’t win them all. But scoring 137.7 you should win most. Moose has now averaged 141 points per game through 4 weeks. Joe comes out of nowhere to beat Chase and Moose in back to back weeks. He’s led by Cooper Kupp with 24.5 and Christian McCaffrey with 27.9. Solid outings from Kerryon Johnson with 17.5 and Austin Hooper just kept catching them for a 9 catch- 130 yards yard performance vs. Tennessee Defense. Moose got Lamar Jackson’s 24.4, a monster 42.5 from Nick Chubb, 26.2 from #3 Fantasy Rb Austin Ekeler, but his wideouts disappointed combining for only 12.4 points. Biggest difference in this matchup was Joe’s 15 points from his Defense to Moose’s 0 as Green Bay’s defense looked like swiss cheese to Philly’s Jordan Howard.

Brad (2-2) 96.1 vs. Trey (2-2) 108.5

Let this game provide lessons to us all. Lesson #1 Start Your Studs (If They Are Active). Lesson #2 Know Who Your Studs Are.  Lesson #3 Be Consistent. Brad lost because he misinterpreted an injury status, benched a Stud that he didn’t respect like a stud, and got cute by playing matchup solely over talent. Trey got 30.4 on TNF from Aaron Rodgers, 18.5 from the other Bucs receiver, Mike Evans, and got a solid 35.5 from his peripherals. Chris Godwin’s stats through 4 weeks: Mike Evans stats through 4 weeks: Godwin- 26-386-4 on 33 targets, Evans- 18-368-4 on 35 targets. Godwin has outscored Evans ¾ weeks. And he will be in my starting lineup every single fucking week from here on out… (pending injury and bye week of course).

Scotty (3-1) 123.4 vs. Jen (0-4) 98.6

Jen remains beaten despite getting a solid 19.1 from Chris Carson who she acquired via trade from Brad this week. Carson was credited for 21 broken tackles, which is the most ever recorded in a single game, since people have been tracking broken tackles. Jen getting returns on her investments. Of course, as good as that move was from a management stand point, she started a player that was inactive. This is hugely egregious, and you just hate to see it. Unless of course, you’re Scotty who I’m sure loved to see it. Scotty’s kicker outscored his Qb 4-3.7, but Leonard Fournette’s 225-yard rushing explosion helped lead the way. His 30.3 fantasy points combined with Courtland Sutton’s 20.6 and NE D/ST’s 26 was enough to get the job done. NE D/ST’s 89 fantasy points through 4 weeks would have them ranked as Rb #4, Wr#1, and Qb#5. That’s right. A Defense and Special Teams unit has outscored every single wide receiver in fantasy points through 4 weeks of the season. Their schedule over the next 4 weeks is @ Washington (Keenum? Haskins? McCoy?), NYG (Rookie Daniel Jones), @ NYJ, and Cleveland (Who doesn’t have an offensive line). Jesus Scotty. That’s all I have to say. Jesus…

Kenny (3-1) 103 vs. Chase (1-3) 71.3

The old #1 Overall Pick vs. #12 Overall Pick. First vs. Last. It’s not surprising that the team with the top draft pick, thus better drafting position won this matchup. What IS surprising is that he won without the #1 overall pick, Saquon Barkley. His replacement, who Kenny smartly had for just this occasion, scored 24.2. Golladay scored 20.7 and Kenny got 31.3 from his peripherals. Chase got solid production out of Mahomes with 21 and LeSean McCoy got 15.7, but 7 players scored 6.9 or less. Including only 14.5 from his 3 peripherals. Chase would love more consistency from Odell and Julio right now.

Katon (1-3) 109.4 vs. Tommy (2-2) 131.3

Katon is definitely the best 1-3 team. He got 24.6 from Robert Woods, who was due. 23.4 from Philip Rivers and 18 from Bears D/ST. Keenan Allen disappointed with 6.8 vs. Miami and even his kicker was missing extra points. Tommy got a solid 21.8 from *checks notes* Todd Gurley, 19.7 from Carson Wentz, then he started Derrick Henry, AJ Brown, and Corey Davis from the Titans who combined for 55.9 against Atlanta. 14 from Wil Lutz helps.

Week 5 Preview:

Battle of the Bad!

Jen (0-4) vs. Mike (1-3)

Something’s got to give! Jen is averaging 93.2 points per game, Mike is averaging a slightly better 96.7. Both Qb’s have juicy matchups with Jen getting Brissett @ KC on SNF and Mike gets Deshaun Watson vs. Atlanta. Both could be in shootouts. Jen’s David Johnson gets @ Cincy on a short week. Cincinnati is giving up an average of 34.4 fantasy points to opposing running backs, making DJ a Top 10 play and Chase Edmunds an intriguing flex play. (not for Jen). Jen gets Kittle back post bye vs. Cleveland and Mike gets Mike Thomas vs. Tampa Bay. Both teams will have a key player featured on Thursday Night Football, Jen having Chris Carson vs. the Rams and Mike having Tyler Lockett vs. the Rams. Who will win?!

Trey (2-2) vs. Chase (1-3)

Chase has to face the ghost of season past, squaring off against Aaron Rodgers, who beat him in Super Bowl 10. Rodgers will be @ Dallas. Trey has 2 Top 20 Rb’s in Jacobs and Mack. Jacobs faces Chicago defense. And Mack is banged up after exiting Week 4’s contest early with an ankle injury. A surprise for Trey has been Seahawks Tight End Will Dissly who is now ranked 5th amongst fantasy tight ends and has scored a touchdown in 3 straight weeks and has 4 in 4 games. Wilson had this to say about Will Dissly, “We go to Bible study together, we talk, we’re connected pretty good, and I just really admire him.” No better way to look for a tight end then see the one praising Jesus with the Quarterback. Speaking of needing Jesus, let’s look at Chase’s team. Mahomes faces Indy and is #1 Fantasy Qb as he should be. Sony Michel has 0 broken tackles this season. Julio faces Houston, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is @ Pittsburgh, and Odell Beckham Jr. has a MNF game against a well-rested and surprisingly effective 49ers defense. They’ve had 2 weeks to prepare for the Browns terrible offensive line. Let’s see if Odell and MNF Odell once again.

Joe (2-2) vs. Scotty (3-1)

Joe coming off a big win over the best team in the league, while Scotty waltzes in after facing the worst team in the league. Joe is led by #1 Fantasy Rb Christian McCaffrey, #2 Fantasy Wr Cooper Kupp, #3 TE Austin Hooper. Scotty has 3 Top 11 Running backs in 7. Kamara, 10. Fournette, and 11. Aaron Jones. Of course, the biggest difference maker for Scotty has been Pat’s D/ST. If you include them Scotty is starting 4 Running Backs in the Top 11 at the position. Is Scotty for real at 3-1? Or will Joe bring them both to 3-2 after this week?

Moose (3-1) vs. Tommy (2-2)

Moose has #2 Qb Lamar Jackson, #3 Rb Austin Ekeler, #4 Rb Nick Chubb (#5 if you include Pats D/ST), #8 Wr Amari Cooper, #4 Tight End Travis Kelce. Kelce has been slacking. He plays the Colts this week, think he’s due for a 12-146-2 stat line. Tommy has #6 Qb Carson Wentz, #6 Rb Derrick Henry and #3 Kicker Wil Lutz. You see the difference? Moose wins.

JD (4-0) vs. Katon (1-3)

Looking at these teams you would think their records would be swapped, but let’s dig in. JD has #4 Fantasy Qb Dak Prescott against Green Bay at home. #5 Fantasy Running back Mark Ingram @ Pit, and #5 Tight End Darren Waller vs. Chicago. Davante Adams is listed as questionable, but I doubt he plays as he battles the painful turf toe. Katon has whew… #5 Fantasy Qb Matt Ryan, #8 Fantasy Rb Ezekiel Elliot facing a Green Bay running defense that has been fleeced by Dalvin Cook, destroyed by Jordan Howard, ram shackled by Phillip Lindsay. Oh, and one more thing… Zeke is due. Katon gets Melvin “Fucking” Gordon back against a Denver defense that just gave up 225 yards rushing to Leonard Fournette. He has #1 Fantasy Wideout Keenan Allen in that same Denver matchup, and Bears D/ST face Oakland in London. Katon is going to beat the living shit out of JD this week and hand JD his first loss of the season. BEAT… THE…LIVING…SHIT… out of him. It’s going to be worse than Louisiana’s dominance over Texas so far this season 😉

Brad (2-2) vs. Kenny (3-1)

Oh yeah, I have a team too. The worst part of my team is the manager. So that’s both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is I have one of the Top 5 teams in the league. The bad thing is my own self-sabotage might cost me a playoff spot. I feature #3 Fantasy Qb Russell Wilson, #2 Fantasy Rb Dalvin Cook, #2 Fantasy Wideout Chris Godwin, and #1 Fantasy Tight End Evan Engram. Matchups aren’t bad, aren’t good. Kenny has Barkley out due to that high ankle sprain and Kenny Golladay is out due to bye week. He’s looking at starting Jordan Howard in the flex vs. the Jets. He’ll have Andy Dalton vs. Arizona, Wayne Gallman vs. Minnesota, and Phillip Lindsay vs. the Chargers in LA. Adam Thielen came out and said they need to pass the ball better. Well here is their chance facing a Giants team that’s ranked 29th against fantasy wideouts. Should be a good game but look for Brad to start at the very least, the wrong flex.

Thanks and Good Luck This Week!

Week 3 Recap & Week 4 Preview

bradleybertoniere Fantasy Football, NFL

King Mustafa (3-0) 130.8 vs. Brad (2-1) 100.2

Amari Cooper lead Moose’s team with 23.2 points.  Lamar Jackson had to play against an actual defense and scored 21.2 points.  Moose’s outbidding Brad for Packers D/ST proved to be highly effective as they scored 17 against Joe Flacco’s Broncos.  Brad got 24.9 from Dalvin Cook and 24.7 from Evan Engram, but started the wrong Qb as Russell Wilson went off on his bench.  Winston decided to target Mike Evans early and often, leaving Chris Godwin as an afterthought and Brad had 6 players in single digits.

Trey (1-2) 130.3 vs. Mike (1-2) 133.5

What turned out to be the best game of the week was a close one!  Trey got an incredible 43.2 from Mike Evans to the tune of 8 catches, 190 yards and 3 touchdowns.  Marlon Mack was serviceable with 15.6 points and free agent acquisition Will Dissly continued to impress with 14.6.  Mike was lead by Deshaun Watson’s and Tyler Lockett’s 28.8 points each.  Joe Mixon showed up for Mike with his best game of the season, scoring 16.3 points against a formidable Bills Defense.  Bitter loss for Trey, potential season-saving win for Mike.

Chase (1-2) 116.6 vs. Joe (1-2) 141.2

Chase seemed to have a shot going into SNF with Odell Beckham Jr. squaring off against Cooper Kupp and Greg Zuerlein.  Patrick Mahomes “regression” from 50 touchdowns has him on pace for 6,384 yards and 58 touchdowns through 3 weeks of the NFL season.  He scored a cool 30.7 for Chase.  Julio continued to Julio with 25.  O.J. Howard showed up for 7.8 fantasy points.  Joe was lead by Jameis Winston with 28.5, Christian McCaffrey’s 31 (who ripped off a 76 yard touchdown run), and Cooper Kupp’s 29.6.  Kupp looks fully recovered from the ACL tear that ended his 2018 season.  Shouldn’t have come across as a surprise considering the Browns Defense was without their starting SS, FS, CB, and LB.  Joe gets his first win of the season.

Kenny (2-1) 90.4 vs. Scotty (2-1) 113.7

Kenny didn’t just lose this game against Scotty, he lost #1 Overall Pick Saquon Barkley for 4-8 weeks due to a high ankle sprain.  This absolutely sucks as Barkley is a lot of fun to watch and things were looking for the G-Men with Daniel Jones taking over.  He got a surprising 26.6 from Phillip Lindsay who scored a pair of touchdowns and 18.8 from Adam Thielen.  Scotty was led by an inspirational performance from Alvin Kamara who scored 31.7 fantasy points.  Brady got 23.1 and #1 Patriots D/ST got 15.

Katon (1-2) 150.3 vs. Jen (0-3) 68.7

At one point in this match it looked like Katon had a chance to beat Jen by 100 points.  Keenan Allen went off for 38.8, Chicago D/ST got 25 and Matt Ryan got 25.3 for Katon.  Jen’s highest scorer was “Scary” Terry McLaurin with 15.4.  7 players scored in single digits.  But not sure what we expect after she lost her 2nd, 5th, 6th and 14th round picks to injury so far.

JD (3-0) 136.8 vs. Tommy (1-2) 115.3

Tommy was in trouble since TNF when Henry put up a modest 11 points.  Greg Olsen led his team in scoring with 21.9 points.  Hilton and Edelman both got knocked out of their games, but put up serviceable 15 and 15.7 fantasy points, respectively, before exited their contests.  JD moved to 3-0 on the season with 22.5 from Dak Prescott, 36.1 from Mark Ingram who is Rb#3 to start the year, and 22.3 from Darren Waller acquired via the 3-way trade.  Had this been a kicker bowl it would have been an epic 1-2 final score with Tommy taking it.

Week 4 Preview

***Game of the Week***

JD (3-0) vs. Mike (1-2)

JD and Moose are the only undefeated teams remaining, but JD will be tested this week by Mike’s group.  Jd has Dak Prescott facing the Saints in New Orleans on SNF.  Saints have given up rushing touchdowns to Watson, Goff, and 2 to Russell Wilson last week.  Prescott is a must start in this one.  Mike features Deshaun Watson going up against Carolina.  Kyle Allen is starting for Carolina, so should be a competitive game.  Mark Ingram faces Cleveland for JD and #5 TE Darren Waller faces Indianapolis.  Mike has Justin Jackson vs. Miami, Michael Thomas against Dallas, and Tyler Lockett vs. Arizona’s lack of a secondary that just got torched by Curtis Samuel and DJ Moore.  Brandin Cooks faces TB who gave up a lot of points to Sterling Shepherd and Evan Engram last week.  This game will come down to Monday Night Football with JD having JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyler Boyd and Mike will have Joe Mixon and Vance McDonald.  I just feel bad that these two will be glued to their televisions and having to listen to Booger McFarland say the stupidest shit imaginable.  Look for JD to come out swinging with Davante Adams against Philly on TNF.

King Mustafa (3-0) vs. Joe (1-2)

Both teams coming off big wins in Week 3 setting up a nice Week 4 matchup.  Lamar Jackson faces Cleveland, who has a good pass rush, but has a myriad of injuries to their secondary.  Nick Chubb faces Baltimore in that same game who just surrendered a pair of touchdowns to LeSean McCoy last week.  Amari Cooper will be matched up against Marshon Lattimore on SNF at the Dome.  Austin Ekeler is in a smash spot @ Miami.  Packers D/ST on TNF should continue to have success against a Philly team minus a lot of weapons.  Joe will have someone at Quarterback versus whoever they play.  Christian McCaffrey is @ Houston.  Cooper Kupp, Joe’s hero and namesake faces Tampa Bay’s defense who just got torched by Danny Dimes.  From Josh Gordon down this lineup is gross and Moose should win.

Scotty (2-1) vs. Jen (0-3)

It doesn’t look good John.  It does. Not. Look. Good.  Jen is predicted a paltry 80.2 points and George Kittle has his bye week.  Scotty has Kamara vs. Dallas on SNF and Aaron Jones vs. Philly on TNF.  Spread out his players like butter on toast.  Mhmmmmm.

Brad (2-1) vs. Trey (1-2)

Brad coming off his worst game of the season vs. Trey coming off his best, despite him not coming away with the W.  Brad will have Russell Wilson @ Arizona, #1 Fantasy Rb Dalvin Cook against a tough Bears D/ST, #1 Fantasy TE Evan Engram vs. Washington.  Trey has A-Rod on TNF, Marlon Mack and Josh Jacobs facing one another, DeAndre Hopkins against Carolina, and Will Dissly @ Arizona.  Brad is hoping James Conner can prove to be a first round pick this week against a Bengals Defense that has been gouged by the run every week.  Brad will have to wait until MNF to see if that happens.  The real story of this matchup is Chris Godwin vs. Mike Evans.  Godwin outscored Evans in Weeks 1 and 2, but Evans exploded last week, leading to Evans being ranked 9th fantasy wideout and Godwin being ranked 21st.  They face a tough Rams Defense led by Wade Phillips.  The Bruce Arians offensive mind vs. the Wade Phillips defensive mind will be an good watch this weekend.

Kenny (2-1) vs. Chase (1-2)

K-Dub loses Saquon, which definitely is a huge hit for his squad.  Despite me giving him crap for having Wayne Gallman on his bench, Kenny proves the wiser as Daniel Jones makes Gallman relevant.  Lindsay will hope to have a repeat performance vs. Jacksonville.  Kenny Golladay faces KC.  Detroit is a slow-paced team and KC is a fast-paced team, so it’ll be interesting to see if the game slows down or if Detroit speeds up.  Kenny has two good defenses to choose from, Charges @ Miami or Rams against a turnover prone Jameis Winston.  Chase has Patrick Mahomes, the God of Wind, @ Detroit.  Dome game?  Yes please.  Chase has *checks notes* two Top 20 running backs in LeSean McCoy and *checks notes again* Rex Burkhead.  Julio Jones faces Tennessee and Odell Beckham Jr. faces Baltimore.  This should be a close game.

Katon (1-2) vs. Tommy (1-2)

Katon coming in hot gets Tommy minus Le’Veon Bell due to bye week.  Tommy will have to monitor Julian Edelman and TY Hilton this week as both were banged up last week.  Todd Gurley sucks, Greg Olsen is a God and Derrick Henry faces Atlanta.  Katon has Zeke @ Saints, who are okay at stopping the run right now as long as you aren’t a Qb.  #1 Fantasy Wideout Keenan Allen is @ Miami, Robert Woods is a sneaky DFS play against Tampa Bay with all the attention on Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp.  Larry Fitzgerald faces Seattle’s garbage ass secondary.  Katon is going to win this one.  Big.

Thanks and Good Luck this Week!

Week 2 Recap & Week 3 Preview

bradleybertoniere Uncategorized

King Mustafa (2-0) 141.5 vs. Katon (0-2) 97.2

Moose almost was top scorer for his second week in a row until Chase came out of nowhere with a huge Monday night game with Odell.  Moose is top scorer so far this season however, having scored 295.7 points in the first two weeks to start the year.  Katon couldn’t quite get it going this week with another underwhelming performance from Devonta Freeman, an injury to Michael Gallup and Delanie Walker coming back down to Earth from his monster week 1 outing.  Lamar Jackson is averaging 35.1 fantasy points per game for Moose.

Brad (2-0) 134.2 vs. Jen (0-2) 96.4

Brad has scored a consistent 132.1 and 134.2 to start the season, averaging 133.2 game.  A big 24.3 point outing from Chris Godwin set the tone for this matchup as Jen wasn’t able to overcome her terrible number of injuries.  Some bright spots for her is Terry McLaurin looks to be a great free agent find (Wr#5 after 2 weeks) and Calvin Ridley had a big outing on SNF with 22.7.  She’ll be hoping Kittle and DJ start scoring like they can and should.

Joe (0-2) 71.3 vs. JD (2-0) 114.5

Joe’s team didn’t show up to this one.  Had he taken my advice and done a kicker bowl he would have won it, but CMC getting 6.1 on TNF pretty much sealed his fate.  Getting a combined 0.7 from Dede Westbrook and DeSean Jackson didn’t help matters.  JD got 27.5 from Dak Prescott who is looking like a great value to start the year.  His starting running backs combined for 15.3 and he still was able to defeat Joe by 43.2 points.  Bright spot for Joe was Antonio Brown looked like… Antonio Brown.

Scotty (1-1) 128.5 vs. Mike (0-2) 100.9

Scotty rode the NE Patriots D/ST to the tune of 37 points this week.  He also got 25.6 from Aaron Jones and 24.5 from Tom Brady.  Mike is kicking himself for picking Mixon over Dalvin Cook so far this season as Mixon has scored 6.4 fantasy points through two weeks.  With the injury to Brees, his first round pick Mike Thomas takes a hit and Mike has more questions than answers after this week.

Kenny (2-0) 98.1 vs. Trey (1-1) 66.7

Kenny has been an enigma so far this season.  He has scored the 3rd fewest points in the league and yet sits 2-0.  His points against are at 152.6 compared to Jen’s at 288.4 (difference of 135.8 or 89% increase over Kenny’s PA).  In this league, we don’t care how we get the wins, as long as we get them.  Kenny lost Big Ben in this matchup, but got carried by Barkley with 23.7 and Kenny Golladay with 23.9.  Trey had 7 players in single digits and his highest scorer was Aaron Rodgers at 14.2.  Not going to win many games like that.

Chase (1-1) 142.4 vs. Tommy (1-1) 103.4)

Chase came out of nowhere to pass Moose and Brad up to be the highest scorer for the week, thanks to Odell Beckham Jr. doing Odell Beckham Jr. things.  OBJ scored 29.5 including an 89-yard touchdown.  Chase had Julio (29.6), OBJ (29.5) and Mahomes (36.5) combine for 95.6 points, almost enough to take out Tommy by themselves.  Tommy got a respectable 14.9 from Le’Veon despite Trevor Seimen starting and a Qb named Falk finishing the game.  Tommy has to be concerned with having Jared Cook, Saints D/ST, and Wil Lutz with the injury to Drew Brees, but a bright spot on his team is TY Hilton averaging 17.9 fantasy points after two weeks and Derrick Henry averaging 23.2 and being ranked #3 Rb in Fantasy.

Week 3 Preview:

***Game of the Week***

King Mustafa (2-0) vs. Brad (2-0)

The #1 Scorer vs. the #2 Scorer after two weeks face off in an epic battle for Division bragging rights.  Both teams striving for that coveted 3-0.  Although this matchup looks good on paper, it doesn’t take long to dive in and see that Moose is the heavy favorite in this one.  Lamar Jackson who is averaging 35.1 fantasy points per game faces Kansas City in what could be the highest scoring game of the season.  He also has Travis Kelce (TE#2) in this matchup and could opt to use Mark Andrews(TE#1) in the flex.  In addition, he has Amari Cooper vs. Miami’s 3 First Round Picks in 2020, 2 Second Round Picks in 2020, 2 First Round Picks in 2021, 2 Second Round picks in 2021, you get the picture…. They are in full tank mode and as fantasy managers it’s our job to start every single person you can against Miami players and dump every Dolphins player you may have accidentally drafted.  In addition to that juicy-ass matchup, Moose has DJ Moore @ Arizona.  Arizona’s secondary has gotten torched by Matt Stafford and Lamar Jackson and now they get a struggling Cam Newton.  Despite Cam’s struggles DJ Moore is averaging 10.5 fantasy points per game and has 24 targets after two weeks.  Meaning his production is only a matter of time.  What better time than against Arizona defense minus Patrick Peterson?  Looking over at Brad’s side he has Josh Allen vs. Cincinnati or Russell Wilson at home vs. the Saints minus Drew Brees.  The Bills-Cincy game opened at 40.5 O/U but has climbed up to 44, Saints-Seattle game opened at 50 O/U but has dropped to 44.5, so good luck with that shit.  I might flip a coin.  Conner has a banged up knee and travels to the West coast to face a surprising 2-0 49ers team.  Carson is at home vs. the Saints, Godwin faces NYG, and Evan Engram (TE#3) faces Tampa Bay with Daniel “Danny Dimes” Jones taking over the starting gig for Eli Manning.  Brad’s only hope lies in Dalvin Cook, who Moose passed on at the ½ turn, against Oakland.  Cook is fantasy’s #1 Running back after two weeks with scores of 27.8 and 31.3.  Oakland has been stingy against the run in the first two weeks, only giving up 12.6 average points to fantasy running backs when the NFL average is 19.8. That’s good for 4th best in the league in stopping opposing fantasy rb’s.  Like I said, on paper close, but after further review, Moose wins this one, big.

Katon (0-2) vs. Jen (0-2)

On the other side of Division 1 we have two 0-2 teams searching for their first win.  These teams are #1 and #2 in Points Against to start the season after facing Moose and Brad.  Katon has Zeke against Miami in Dallas and he may break the single game rushing record for most rushing yards in a game this week.  Jen is battling so many injuries, it’s hard to imagine she escapes that one matchup alone this week.

***Rivalry Game***

JD (2-0) vs. Tommy (1-1)

Is this a battle over who is the better hunter or a battle over pretend football?  Either way, it’s going to be good!  JD has Dak Prescott vs. Miami in Dallas and he may break the single game rushing record for most rushing yards by a Quarterback in a single week.  He also has both running backs in the Bal @ KC matchup.   Tommy has Le’Veon @ New England.  I wonder if they are going to try taking Le’Veon out of the of gameplan or concentrate on the Qb Luke Falk?  It’s Bell, they are shutting down Bell, okay!  Tommy was most recently spotted wearing Tennessee Titans gear and he has Derrick Henry @ Jacksonville.  You may recall that it was against Jacksonville that Henry had his ultra-super-mega-epic almost 50 fantasy point scoring week last year.  To win this one, Tommy might need that to happen again…

Trey (1-1) vs. Mike (0-2)

In Week 1 Mike scored 85.9 and in Week 2 Trey scored 66.7.  ESPN opens up the projected score at 103.5 to 103.6, which is obviously the closest projected matchup of the week.  Trey has Dallas D/ST against Miami who just gave up 37 fantasy points to New England… at home.  Before they traded their starting safety… Mike has Mixon @ Buffalo and Michael Thomas @ Seattle.  He has Jag D/ST vs. Tennessee.  Are you sure?  Mike I’m worried about you.  You keep starting Jaguars D/ST and they’ve scored 6 points in 2 weeks.  That’s not good Mike.  Derrick Henry went off against them last year.  Do you remember Mike?  Do you remember the 200+ yard 3 touchdown game from Derrick Henry last year against Jacksonville?  Whatever, Yolo, am I right?

Chase (1-1) vs. Joe (0-2)

Chase has Patrick Mahomie in the Baltimore shootout, and Hollywood Brown @ KC, who might be for real.  My brother, Andy, sent me a video of Hollywood hanging out with Lamar Jackson after the game on Sunday, so it appears as though they are good friends… incredible pickup prior to Week 1.  (That’s right, Chase picked up him prior to Week 1, before the big game, and the second big game.  Chase has done it again- cue Britney Spears singing “Oops I did it again…”).  Chiefs D/ST vs. Baltimore.  Yeah Chase is getting a new D/ST this week…. For sure.  He has Cowboys kicker vs. Miami, so he may break the single game record for most points by a kicker in a single game.  Joe has whatever quarterback he picks up off waivers versus whoever they play, Christian McCaffrey @ Arizona.  Antonio Brown vs. the Jets unless he gets suspended or something comes of him being accused of fucking rape.  Looking at the matchup it certainly appears Joe needs help.  Wouldn’t be surprised to see a desperation trade out of Joe, which may be difficult given his best asset is untradeable Christian McCaffrey.

Kenny (2-0) vs. Scotty (1-1)

Kenny is 2-0 despite being 3rd lowest scoring team in the league.  He has Saquon who gets elevated with a shimmer of hope from Daniel Jones getting his first career start.  This Tampa team was able to slow down CMC last week, but can they contain Barkley?  Thielen faces Oakland, Golladay @ Philly and Zach Ertz vs. Detroit.  Don’t sleep on Harrison Butker’s ability to score big in this one.  Unstoppable offense vs. somewhat decent defense.  Scotty has a now week in and week out stud in Tom Brady who has the best receiving corps in all of football.  Kamara takes a hit with Brees injury (maybe?).  Fournette plays Ten on TNF.  Sammy Watkins in the shootout game, TJ Hockensen vs. Philly.  Patriots D/ST get NYJ being quarterbacked by Luke Falk a week after playing Miami.  It’s not even fair at this point… Will Kenny’s luck streak continue?

Good luck to all, but Moose this week!
