Week 1 Review
A relatively low-scoring week left a lot of games decided by who plugged in one of the few guys that had a big week. I'm going to try to keep my weekend review to a basic template, so let me know if there is anything you want me to add.
Week 1's best bench warmers and waiver wire fodder:
Frank Gore, Lav. Coles, Donte Stallworth, Charlie Batch and Pennington.
Injuries of the week:
Trent Green - concussion (just to make matters worse for Alex who is already sporting the all-injured team in our league)
Joe Jurevicious - he got injured on an incredible catch. of course, as was the entire day for the Browns, it was called back on a penalty.
Fantasy team of the week:
Tommy had a great week. And he had Coles and Gore sitting on his bench too.
Fantasy team flop of the week:
Joe's Lover not only started an injured Steve Smith, but also never updated his defense, which means he had backups there as well. To top it off, the few stars that he did have playing (Hasselbeck, Cadillac) all flopped too.
Game of the week:
Lance vs. Chetan. Chetan had an astounding 5 players in double-digits, but he couldn't overcome 2 of his defensive players being backups and Delhomme's poor performance. Lance pulled out the win on the strong performance of Ladanian Tomlinson on Monday night.
Pillow-Fight of the week:
Alex vs. Justin. This category will go to the game with the lowest score for the winner each week. Both teams were held back by shoddy QB play and at least 1 player that didn't show up (Galloway for Alex, Janikowski for Justin). Alex's entire team basically ended up being Fletcher, Westbrook and a surprising Porter (see below).
Surprise Outcome of the week:
This spot will be reserved for the team that either completely underperforms or overperforms based on expectations of previous weeks. Week 1 doesn't really have those expectations, so this will be added at a future date.
For this week, the surprise of the week is Portis actually playing and contributing. All week it was said he would be held out of the game, but he showed up and pushed Alex's score out of reach from Justin (he would have won without him, but Justin would at least have had a fighting chance in the late game).
