Week 2

Welcome back to the second week of fantasy football! We have a unique outcome at the end of week 2, everyone is now tied at 1-1. Congratulations to every team that lost last week, because you won this week!

Commissioner Goodell vs. Fantasyland Fits of Fantasy

FINAL SCORE: 129 - 104

WINNER: Commissioner Goodell

Coach Skyler had a second great week and managed to surpass the previous season-high score that was set by his beautiful wife. Commissioner Goodell now holds the league high-score and wins the award of "Best Human Being Ever."

Disclaimer: This blog is written by a stakeholder in the fantasy team "Commissioner Goodell." Opinions and award names may be biased.

The Arizona Cardinals had a great week beating up the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so coach Skyler's quarterback, running back and kicker all had great scores. However, surprise help came to both the Commissioner and the Fits of Fantasy from their defenses. The Denver defense scored 2 touchdowns on pick-6's giving 23 points for coach Skyler while the Arizona defense had 4 interceptions and a fumble return along with 3 sacks which netted 22 points for coach Patrick.

Coach Patrick put up a good fight and would have won most other matchups this week. The only smudge in his team this week was the San Francisco running back Carlos Hyde, who played more like Carlos Jekyll against Carolina and only managed to get 2 points after poor rushing and a fumble.

Ministry of Silly Walks vs. "Team Rish"

FINAL SCORE: 65 - 99

WINNER: "Team Rish"

Creatively named "Team Rish" took the win away from the Ministry of Silly walks this week with a strong 99 point performance. 29 of those points came from Cam Newton as he walloped San Francisco on Sunday. The only letdown on coach Rish's squad was a disappointing tight end from New Orleans who managed to only catch 2 of 8 passes and ended up with 2 points. I doubt this poor performance will be bad enough to deter coach Rish from football tight ends, but maybe she should try a different one next week though.

Coach Kristin had a rough week. Her starting wide recievers and running backs managed to pull in only 11 points total. It didn't help that Jonathan Stewart, the running back from Carolina, was injured and will likely be out for several weeks. The only place her team performed as well as it did last week was at tight end, where Delanie Walker from Tennessee showed us all how tight ends are meant to be by catching all 6 passes his way including 1 touchdown, and getting 14 points. Coach Rish- take note.

Brandonia Dr0idz vs. Space Cowboys

FINAL SCORE: 62 - 67

WINNER: Space Cowboys

In the first battle of Brandons, the Space Cowboys managed to get the win. This was the closest matchup of the week and the score was close all the way to the very end. Unfortunately, both teams were hit with injuries. Star running back Adrian Peterson left the game with an injured knee against Green Bay and running back Doug Martin from Tampa Bay left with a hamstring injury in their loss to Arizona. It wasn't just running backs going out with injuries, wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Doug Baldwin (oh no!) are questionable for next week after injuries.

The bright side for the Brandons came from their quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers and Blake Bortles, who luckily both managed to stay healthy. Coach Brandon and coach Brandon may have to do some trading and swapping around with their bench to assemble a healthy team for week 3.

"Team Vogel" vs. Team Pup 'n Suds

FINAL SCORE: 78 - 119

WINNER: Team Pup 'n Suds

Coach Andre had an excellent week recovering from his slow start in week 1. He had a hefty 28 points from  New York running back Matt Forte, 24 points from Oakland quarterback Derek Carr and 18 points from both his kicker and tight end. All around a very strong showing! Who needs suspended Tom Brady when your team is playing like this.

Creatively named Team Vogel still had some good things going for her in the loss to Pup 'n Suds, and mostly those things came from Texas. The Houston Texans defense was high scoring this week and the Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott managed to get 12 points despite a fumble. Coach Jenny was let down by a weak performance by quarterback Russell Wilson, who got one of his lowest fantasy scores of his NFL career. Don't lose hope though coach Jenny! We are all rooting that Russell will be back to his regular form next week.

Speaking of which...
