Week 2 Review
A huge week by QB's and some surprising developments becoming assurances. I mean who saw the Bears and Jets as having two of the best passing games in the league? Or Colston as being one of the most valuable low-tier players? Maybe they are a mirage and disappear later this season, but for now, they are the fun surprises that make fantasy football so enjoyable.
Week 1's best bench warmers and waiver wire fodder:
With all the QB's going off this week, the waiver wire was flooded with WR's who caught those balls: Toomer, Colston, Desmond Clark, Grossman, Devery Henderson, Berrian, Jennings and Cotchery.
Injuries of the week:
Viniatieri - pulled his groin and Indy had their punter try the extra point (and it was not pretty)
TO - broken finger, but with the week 3 bye...he may only miss one game.
Chad Johnson - he got leveled and Palmer said he was still "loopy" after the game. Of course, how do you tell if CJ is bad loopy or normal loopy?
Rich Braham - I normally don't list OL here, but he is a center and played against Cleveland. For those of you keeping at home; this makes 5 centers the Browns have lost, 1 ex-Brown center lost to injury, and now an opposing center lost to injury. The moral: don't be a center with ANY connections to the Browns.
Aaron Brooks - like it matters. Actually, this downgrades any IDP's playing against him.
Rod Smith - left the game with a concussion. And apparently took the Broncos passing game with him.
Itulu Mili - apparently Seattle TE's are very similar to Cleveland centers.
Braylon Edwards - he heroically played through SHS during the game. He is not expected to miss anytime, but hopefully he does find a cure for his Stone Hand Syndrome.
Fantasy team of the week:
(Could have easily been Tommy or Joe, but they are taken care of in the next item)
Lance's team may have only had 4 players show up to play this week, but when those 4 players total 60 points by themselves, there isn't much more need for points.
Game of the week: The battle of the Raffays.
Tommy had about a good of a week as possible from his defense as they gave him nearly 40 points. The rest of his team struggled to score TD's though and Shockey and Fitz had rare off-weeks, which opened up an opportunity for Joe to steal the week. Joe's team took advantage with another phenomenal performance by Donovan McNabb and decent starts by everyone else on his roster, which was enough to squeak out the win.
Pillow-Fight of the week:
Tim over Joe's Lover. Neither of Joe's friends have bothered to update their rosters with actual players who play on Sunday, so it was no surprise that his team finished sub-30 points for the second consecutive week. Tim's team is doing more than doubly-better, which still wasn't exactly an inspiring performance, but I'm sure he will gladly take the win. And one of these days Larry Johnson should have a 2005 type performance.
Surprise Outcome of the week:
Justin's team rebounds from a horrendous week 1 with solid contributions from Palmer, Bryant, Dillon and Carney. He also continued to get good production from his IDP's, which helped him over the fact that he had 3 offensive players decide they didn't need to play for the 2nd consecutive week.
