NS Fantasy Football Update

Well, weeks 1 and 2 came and went. Here are the current Standings:




Tresville Giants, Risellia Rhinoceri, Shoeless Joe, DVD Cardinals, The Persian Satraps and tban108 are all tied with 2 victories. The top four lead in Total Points as well. OOOMPH on the Field, Lone Wolves, Nàstic, Umpopamaumau Unity, Thorin's Thrashers and the Flemingovian Falcons are all tied with 1 win and 1 loss. The rest of the teams have no wins and are seeking to change that come Sunday.





Match-up Analysis Week 3

Eudelphia Browns (0-2-0) vs. Tresville Giants (2-0-0)
- The Tresville Giants are on a roll and currently have the most Fantasy Points in the league. With no key injuries at all and the continued outstanding play of Steelers RB Willie Parker, the T.G.'s seem to have a solid team. The Eudelphia Browns' Running Backs have been carrying this team so far. They desperatly need the QB's and Wide Receivers to produce. The E.B.'s coach needs to drink some coffee and do some roster changes. They currently have 4 players that are NA (Not Available).

Key Players in this game: Shaun Alexander (E.B.'s) --- Carnell "Cadillac" Williams (T.G.'s)

Prediction: Are you kidding me? Tresville Giants will be 3 - 0 come Tuesday.


The Baribeau Barrels (0-2-0) vs. Big Bights (0-2-0)
- The Baribeau Barrels owner must have had a good talk with the coach after their week 1 loss. The Coach has responded my upgrading the defense and offense. This didn't pay off in week 2, but T.B.B.'s were going against one of the better teams in the league. Unfortunatly, the T.B.B.'s have too many second stringers to depend on for Fantasy Points. The Big Bights are no better! They have more than 2 starters that are back ups, one QB that is NA and 2 under achieving Wide Receivers. The best part about this team are the Defenses (team). That is not saying much.

Key Players in this game: Chad Johnson (B.B's) --- Peyton Manning (T.B.B.'s)

Prediction: The Baribeau Barrels should win this one, unless Big Bights coach makes some roster changes. Should be a close game.


Risellia Rhinoceri (2-0-0) vs. Blackshear MudSnakes (0-2-0)
- The Blackshear Mudsnakes have yet to reach the 100 point mark, unlike the Risellia Rhinoceri who is #2 in total points. The coach of the Blackshear MudSnakes needs to go fishing in the Free Agency market to have a decent Defense and give the offense a boost. The R.R.'s coach may need to do some last minute starting roster adjustments, but overall the line up looks pretty solid. Their defense should continue to rackup points week to week.

Key Players in this game: Muhsin Muhammad (B.M.'s) --- Marvin Harrison (R.R.'s)

Prediction: Risellia Rhinoceri should get an easy win here.


Red Devils (2-0-0) vs. Tban108 (2-0-0) (Game of the Week)
- Tban108's will miss M. Brunell's points this week, as his team is on a bye. Hopefully, their other starting Qb will pick up the slack this week. Their Wide Receiver Corps. look good, but the coach may want to re-think who he starts this week. The Defense continues to impress. The Red Devils will also have a hole this week with one of their starters on offense on a bye. Their WR reserves are on bye's as well and the coach may be searching the Waiver Wire before Sunday. The Red Devils Defense (players not teams) is a monster when it comes to Fantasy points. Expect this to continue through week 3. Both teams are 2 and 0 and with 2 stellar defenses facing each other this week, I chose this to be the Game of the Week.

Key Players in this game: Deuce McAllister (tban) --- Priest Holmes (R.D.'s)

Prediction: Tough call on this one. Defense should be the deciding factor, so I will have to go with Tan108 to win.


Thorin's Thrashers (1-1-0) vs. DVD Cardinals (2-0-0)
-This weeks game will test that under achieving offense of Thorin's Thrashers. With a no name defense (players) and an offense in need of a steroid shot, this team desperatly needs some changes before sunday. The DVD Cardinals are on a roll with a 2-0 record. Their Defense (Team) has a bye this week, but that shouldn't matter much in this game.

Key Players in this game: Drew Bledsoe (DVD) --- Brett Favre (T.T.s)

Prediction: DVD Cardinals to win their 3rd straight game.


Vordanian Tigers (0-2-0) vs. EastWales Llamas (1-1-0)
- Seems like the EastWales Llamas coach has woken up finally, but may still need to get his head examined. The coach has made some Waiver moves, but still has many gaps in its offensive starting line up. They pulled off a narrow win last week against the Lone Wolves. This could be a trend with this team, if it continues to face opponents with holes in its starting line up. The Vordanian Tigers offense has been anemic so far and desperatly needs its starters to begin producing. When a Tight End leads a team in Fantasy points, that says a lot about an offense and defense. Believe me its nothing good. Without some waiver moves and some line up adjustments, this team will be more like a kitten than a tiger in week 3.

Key Players in this game: Braylon Edwards(E.L.) --- L.J. Smith (V.T.'s)

Prediction: Should be another close game, but the Vordanian Tigers should win this.


Lone Wolves (0-2-0) vs. Byardkurian DOOM! (0-2-0)
- The Byardkurian DOOM! have an actual chance of winning this week going against a team with a few players on Bye. This team still needs to make some Waiver moves to pick up some productive players. The Lone Wolves would have a good team if the coach would make better Starting line up decisions week to week. A few players on this team really need to be released and replaced with some active players.

Key Players in this game: Joe Horn (B.D.) --- Reuben Droughns (L.W.'s)

Prediction: Another close game, but even with gaps on defense and offense the Lone Wolves have enough productive players to pull off a win.


The Persian Satraps (2-0-0) vs. OOOMPH on the Field (1-1-0)
- The OOOMPH on the Field need players to have big games this week if they want to get pass the 500% mark. The best part of this offense, the RB's, both have bye's this week. This team needs to pick up a few back ups to survive. The Persian Satraps are lucky they are facing such a lack luster offense this week. The 2 and 0 record really doesn't reflect how good this team is. It won't survive against the top teams in the league, but this is something the coach can fix. With a few key pick ups and roster adjustments, this team can hang with the big boys till the end of the season.

Key Players in this game: Eli Manning(O.F.) --- Carson Palmer (T.P.S.)

Prediction: Put your money on The Persian Satraps this week and cash in!


Umpopamaumau Unity (1-1-0) vs. Flemingovian Falcons (1-1-0)
- The Flemingovian Falcons have been bitten by the injury bug and have a few players NA or Injured Reserve. The good news is that this was only on defense and no offensive players have a bye this week. The Umpopamaumau Unity weren't this lucky this week. They have 2 players on bye's on defense and offense. The good news is both of these players on offense would not have produced this week anyway. Bad news is they don't have any bench players to make up for these losses. The coach needs to release half this offense and pick up some good players if they want to ever win another game in this league.

Key Players in this game: Julius Jones (U.U) --- Tiki Barber (F.F.'s)

Prediction: Flemingovian Falcons offense should get enough points to win this one.


Nàstic (1-1-0) vs. Shoeless Joe (2-0-0)
Not too many bad things to say about the Shoeless Joe's. Team deserves its record and should continue to do well in the league. They have one starter with a bye, but its a Tight End and nothing that should effect this teams performance. The Nàstic aren't so lucky this week. They have 2 key starters on bye's, both players produce a nice chunk of Fantasy Points each week. 3 players are questionable this week and will be a game time decision. The Nàstic should prepare for this.

Key Players in this game: Terrell Owens (S.J.) --- Daunte Culpepper (Nàstic)

Prediction: Shoeless Joe all the way.
