Weeks 2 - 3 Recap

Standings

Relax

If you are stressed three weeks in because you don’t have Lamar, or your RBs are all getting stopped at the line of scrimmage…or you drafted Russ - then this is for you.

Power Rankings

This is starting to look interesting……

After a hot start, Julian has fallen straight to the middle, while Megan has done the exact opposite. Jon is off to a good start, along with Ryan (despite his Ravens coughing up the W to the Dolphins). But as I said, it’s still early and seasons are decided once BYE weeks start up.

Speaking of matchups…let’s RECAP!

Player of the Week

You can’t deny it - the best player on the field the last two weeks has been (Ryan, ssshh)…Lamar. The dude is unstoppable. 48 points in Week 2, 42 points in Week 3. I sort of feel bad for Samantha because Erik is probably just super smug about it right now.

I’m pretty sure Ryan has a pair of these glasses somewhere.

Team of the Week

This one might be a bit of a surprise. Older Butt Wiser (Jon) has been on a tiny, two-week hot streak. In week two he stomped on The Bizness, but then had a much closer matchup against Toomey Smalls. On paper his team is………🤷.

But if you look at the stats, Jon currently has the best marging between points for and points against (excluding Erik b/c Lamar is a cheat code). I’m not gonna say he’s the second coming of Katie Mace, but 4th in standings and 6th in power is very sus.

I think that’s how you use that word………………….

Matchup of the Week

My favorite matchup was between Megan and Blythe in Week 2. This one came down to Monday night. Blythe put up a STRONG score by Sunday Night Football and all she could do was watch Josh Allen chip away at it over the course of Monday Night Football. Both Allen and the Bills Defense were on fire and Megan seemed to have it locked up.

Then he got benched.

All Megan could do was wait for garbage time and hope the Bills didn’t pull off a garbage time sack or pick 6. Much relaxation was needed afterwards.

En Fuego

Not quite a full-on dumpster fire - but the last two weeks Blythe has a W on the table and was within 20 yards of a second. So she gets the cutesy dumpster fire.

In Week 2, she had 51 points chilling. All she had to do was play Trevor Lawrence instead of Tom Brady. Or anyone other than Brandin Cooks.

In Week 3, she also left 63.5 points on the bench in her duel against Ryan. Every point was playable. It wouldn’t have resulted in a win…but it would have been much closer.

What’s the lesson here?

I know Trevor Lawrence hasn’t been on the cover of GQ…but he was on Southern Bride, and the hair alone should be enough for him to get the start moving forward. Tom Brady is toast. And probably needs a sandwich.

Weeks 4 - 5

LONDON FOOTBALL ALERT

Vikings vs Saints is a UK game and kicks off at 6:30am Pacific. If you have Kirk Cousins (sigh), Justin Jefferson (YAY), or any of the Saints (UGH) - set your lineups before you go to bed.
