Week 2: An Upsetting Week!!

Another week, another loss...no wait... it's up...it's good!!! Yea, I got a tie???? What's that all about? I remember someone suggesting we could have used some half point scoring rules that might help eliminate ties....but NO!!!



Anyway, I tied my own son, so like father, like son I guess. That tie kept me out of the cellar. But I would have been in good company with Mark D. and "Peterson's My Forte" and Steve G. with his team "The Jaspers".

Speaking of Peterson's My Forte... Mr. Farte ( his new moniker) is stinking things up after 2 games so far. He has a total of 9 fantasy points this season. Guess what... so does my kicker I got for $1! Maybe I should offer Mark a trade.

QuarterBacks Activated This Week

This week the QBs dropped down to earth after a big first week. Activated QBs scored a total of 124 points which gives an average of 12.4 each. That's 25 fewer points this week than last and that is because Brees only scored 3 TDs rather than 6. But the most important stat is owned by tom Brady who scored 0 fantasy points. Who would have guessed?? Think Brady will have a stat like that again this season? Could happen...

Running Backs This Week

Total points this week scored by running backs that were active is up considerably over week 1. 207 points were scored week 2 compared with 168 points in the first week. 18 RBs were used this week which is also an increase over week one. The big back who scored the most for week 2 was Chris Johnson (Tenn) who scored 37 fantasy points against the swiss cheese defense of the Houston Texans.




My Texans Predictions for Week 3


"They are who we thought they are!"

The Texans won a tough game against a very tough team last week. The Texans always get up for division games and very tough opponents. But they also play down to the level of their opponents. They have done this time after time. And they got beat by the Jets because they didn't respect the fact that the Jets, even with a rookie QB in his first game, are capable of kicking ass! They didn't get up!!
Will they get up for Jacksonville? I don't think so. They will see the Jags the same way they saw the Jets, an opponent they can beat up on. As a result, they won't get prepared for the game appropriately.

Other reason I think the Texans will be 1-2 by Monday:

• The Texans have NO RUNNING GAME. The Texans rank dead last in the NFL in rushing after 2 games.
• The Jags rank 13th in rushing defense. Slim chance the Texans are going to use this week to climb out of the cellar.
• MJD ranks 11th in the NFL after 2 games in rushing. Are the Texans going to be able to stop him? I'm thinking about how the Texans did against Chris Johnson , Adrian Peterson, and Thomas Jones.
