2017 - Week 2

Bye bye week 2 of football. Hello GIFS!

The most important part of the fantasy football week - GIF time

But wait! First allow me to introduce you to a new section! Each week I will highlight the biggest booms and busts in the league. These are the players that did the best and the worst relative to their ESPN projections.

League All-Star Players

Ty Montgomery, GB RB (Ministry of Silly Walks): 29.00 pts (+16.00 over projected)

Michael Crabtree, Oak FLEX (Zeke-a-Virus): 32.00 pts (+15.30 over projected)

Kareem Hunt, KC RB (Ministry of Silly Walks): 25.90 pts (+11.70 over projected)
  

League Bust Players

Jordy Nelson, GB WR (Ministry of Silly Walks): 0.00 pts (-19.30 under projected)

Greg Olsen, Car TE (Ministry of Silly Walks): 2.00 pts (-14.10 under projected)

Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR (Commissioner Goodell): 5.10 pts (-12.70 under projected)


This week, coach Kristin dominated the top and the bottom of the league. She won her match-up *spoilers* so I guess it all worked out.

Eh. A win's a win

Best of the Bench

C.J. Anderson, Den Bench (RISH): 30.40 pts (+17.30 over projected)

Coach Anna wins the dubious honor of having the 'Best of the Bench'. C.J. Anderson rushed his heart out for her, but in the end it didn't matter. Maybe next week he will find his way into a starting lineup.

I believe in you C.J.

Taco Tuesdays vs Seattle Handegg Squad

FINAL SCORE: 140.8 - 76.0

WINNER: Taco Tuesdays

Star Players:

Davante Adams, GB WR (TACO): 23.90 pts from 99 yds; 1 TD; 8/10 REC

Rob Gronkowski, NE TE (TACO): 23.60 pts from 116 yds; 1 TD; 6/9 REC

Drew Brees, NO QB (TACO): 22.20 pts from 356 yds passing; 2 TD; 0 INT
  

Underachievers:

Amari Cooper, Oak WR (EGG): 7.30 pts (-9.00 projected) from 33 yds; 0 TD; 4/5 REC

DeMarco Murray, Ten RB (TACO): 3.80 pts (-8.90 projected) from 28 yds; 0 TD; 9 RUNS

Austin Hooper, Atl TE (EGG): 2.70 pts (-7.70 projected) from 7 yds; 0 TD; 2/2 REC


Coach Shane wins with the week high score. Four of his players scored 20 points or more. However he also ended up with 3 players questionable going into the next week (DeMarco Murray, Terrance West and Gronk).

Can he keep it up?!

The hand eggers struggled in the RB and WR positions this week as only one of their five got more than 7.8 pts. Maybe he'll be able to trade one of his 3 benched QBs for some more depth.

TBF all 4 of his QBs performed pretty well though 

Sports and Such vs Zeke-a Virus

FINAL SCORE: 126.6 - 98.3

WINNER: Sports and Such

  

Star Players:

Michael Crabtree, Oak FLEX (ZEKE): 32.00 pts from 80 yds; 3 TD; 6/6 REC

Tom Brady, NE QB (SUCH): 30.80 pts from 447 yds passing; 3 TD; 0 INT

Emmanuel Sanders, Den FLEX (SUCH): 24.20 pts from 62 yds; 2 TD; 6/8 REC
  

Underachievers:

Brandin Cooks, NE WR (ZEKE): 6.30 pts (-10.90 projected) from 43 yds; 0 TD; 2/4 REC

Ezekiel Elliott, Dal RB (ZEKE): 6.20 pts (-10.70 projected) from 22 yds; 0 TD; 9 RUNS

Antonio Brown, Pit WR (ZEKE): 11.20 pts (-9.60 projected) from 62 yds; 0 TD; 5/11 REC

Coach Brandon had an incredible week from Brady and his wide receivers. He put up so many points that the -1 from the Jaguars defense didn't even matter.

It's just the truth

Zeke struggled this week, both the team and the player. Maybe his players just need to give a bit more effort next week.

I'm sure Denver's rock solid defense had nothing to do with it

Team FENELON vs Commissioner Goodell

FINAL SCORE: 122.9 - 78.8

WINNER: Team FENELON

Star Players:

Mike Evans, TB FLEX (FENE): 22.30 pts from 93 yds; 1 TD; 7/9 REC

Keenan Allen, LAC WR (FENE): 19.00 pts from 100 yds; 0 TD; 9/10 REC

Carlos Hyde, SF RB (FENE): 17.30 pts from 143 yds; 0 TD; 15 RUNS
  

Underachievers:

Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR (GOOD): 5.10 pts (-12.70 projected) from 21 yds; 0 TD; 3/6 REC

Jimmy Graham, Sea TE (GOOD): 1.10 pts (-12.00 projected) from 1 yds; 0 TD; 1/2 REC

Jordan Howard, Chi RB (GOOD): 0.70 pts (-11.90 projected) from 7 yds; 0 TD; 9 RUNS

Coach Patrick had one of the highest scores in the league in addition to the highest-scoring bench. I guess instead of spending all his brain juice on coming up with a witty team name he picked a well-rounded team.

Coach Patrick's a smart guy

On the other hand... Commissioner Goodell did not do well. He falls to 0-2.

A repeat super bowl win isn't looking good so far

Green Bay Mermen vs Redmond SkiFrees

FINAL SCORE: 118.2 - 110.0

WINNER: Green Bay Mermen

Star Players:

Todd Gurley, LAR RB (RISH): 26.60 pts from 136 yds; 2 TD; 16 RUNS

Travis Kelce, KC TE (RISH): 24.30 pts from 103 yds; 1 TD; 8/10 REC

Melvin Gordon, LAC RB (Red): 20.80 pts from 78 yds; 1 TD; 9 RUNS
  

Underachievers:

Bilal Powell, NYJ RB (Red): 1.30 pts (-10.50 projected) from 13 yds; 0 TD; 6 RUNS

Stefon Diggs, Min FLEX (RISH): 5.10 pts (-8.80 projected) from 31 yds; 0 TD; 2/6 REC

Golden Tate, Det FLEX (Red): 6.50 pts (-8.00 projected) from 25 yds; 0 TD; 4/4 REC

Coach Anna has moved on from Dennis Pitta and the Green Bay Mermen finally have a tight end to write home about! Travis Kelce raked in 24.3 points!

mermen probably do have great tight ends

Coach Brandon was projected to win this matchup right up until the last minutes. Golden Tate underachieved at the worst possible time.

SkiFrees continue to play close games

Ministry of Silly Walks vs The Bad At Footballs

FINAL SCORE: 110.4 - 103.7

WINNER: Ministry of Silly Walks

Star Players:

Ty Montgomery, GB RB (MoSW): 29.00 pts from 110 yds; 2 TD; 10 RUNS

Kareem Hunt, KC RB (MoSW): 25.90 pts from 109 yds; 2 TD; 13 RUNS

Derek Carr, Oak QB (BAD): 21.20 pts from 230 yds passing; 3 TD; 0 INT
  

Underachievers:

Jordy Nelson, GB WR (MoSW): 0.00 pts (-19.30 projected) from 0 yds; 0 TD; 0/0 REC

Greg Olsen, Car TE (MoSW): 2.00 pts (-14.10 projected) from 10 yds; 0 TD; 1/2 REC

Pierre Garcon, SF FLEX (MoSW): 5.60 pts (-8.40 projected) from 26 yds; 0 TD; 3/5 REC

Coach Kristin's strategy of having the highest booms and busts in the same week worked out... just barely. She will have to find a replacement for Greg Olsen and maybe Jordy Nelson for next week.

Kristin is on a 2 game win streak

Coach Derek had a competitive week, breaking 100 points this time. He was projected to win for a while but he had some slight letdowns by Theo Riddick and Jared Cook.

sometimes it just comes down to luck
