In Cleveland, following Week 1's tie with Pittsburgh, the Brownies reminded us that everything is A-OK at the mistake by the lake by missing 2 extra points which could have won in New Orleans, ensuring to all watchers that last week's tie was nothing more than a fluke and the Browns are still in fact the Browns. They followed it up by abruptly declaring they would cut reclamation project Josh Gordon...only to trade him to none other than the evil empire of the AFC the Patriots. His fantasy value went from zero to....0.5? Don't worry, he'll fall off the wagon again. Maybe that TB12 diet will do him some good.
In Buffalo, things are so bad that Vontae Davis decided to retire...AT HALFTIME! No joke, folks...dude was like...
Buffalo at 0-2, is staking its claim as the Browns 2.0.
In Washington, the Colts played host to the Redskins (you read that right) in front of a mostly empty stadium that had a few fans primarily wearing horseshoes, ending a so-called sellout streak that went back to the 70s. The Redskins promptly rewarded the 6 Redskins fans in attendance by failing to score a touchdown for the first time in 4 years. Great job fellas!
In fantasy news, Kent gets the unusual daily double of football triumph as not only did his Colts win in a virtual forfeit, his fantasy team also won in futilely convincing fashion as well. See below. Let's get to this week's MIISFFL highlights:
How did the champ do? It's official. If you win the Menace Bowl, your team is going to suck the next year. Back to back championships will never happen in MIISFFL. I'm calling it now. Zach's team actually didn't have a bad week, posting 123, but Dewey's gambit of blowing through his waiver budget before Week 2 paid off at least for one game as he ended up with the best quarterback in fantasy not named Pat Mahomes. He even left Fitzmagic on the bench! Big Ben didn't get sacked 20 times though and he cruised to a 137-123 victory over the 2017 champ. Travis Kelce led the charge for Zach with 28, and with Mahomes under center might be the best tight end play in the game now (sorry Gronk). Big Ben's 46 spot though was too much to overcome as the 2016 champ is now 2-0 and looking to reclaim his past glory.
Game of the Week Bruce was just on the outside of the playoffs looking in last year and through 2 weeks wants to erase any doubt this year. Jeff was game though as he had a balanced effort across the board from everyone on his squad. Only one position failed to score double digits, but it still wasn't enough. Bruce overcame a donut from the Ravens' defense thanks to 33 from Can You Digg It in the flex spot and a pair of 27's from AJ Green and Melvin Gordon. This game was nip and tuck throughout all of Sunday leaving Bruce with a 1-point lead going into Monday night and Janikowski still to play. He could have played it safe and benched Se-Bass to guarantee the win, but he decided to roll the dice and was rewarded with a 50-yarder to lock it up. Bruce is 2-0 and Jeff is a hard luck 0-2 following an exciting 139-131 result.
Blowout of the Week Tom talked a lot of trash the first couple of weeks, but he got his come-uppins this week as he ran into the freight train that is Pat Mahomes, making an early case for not only fantasy Rookie of the Year, but fantasy MVP as well. 51 points later, he paced Nate's squad to a 144-101 win that might not shut Tom up. In fact, it might make him louder as Tom seems to be more set on finishing with a better record than Kent.
Nate now races out to 2-0 and with Chief Combo of Mahomes and Hunt, might be in a position to finally make some noise in his third year in the league.
Futility Bowl As mentioned in the open, Kent gets the rare football daily double, victory in fantasy as well as real football victory over the same dude's team. Yeah that dude is me, who set another fantasy milestone by having nobody, and I mean NOBODY on his entire squad score not a single touchdown. That is Lowsman Trophy material right there. Meanwhile, the commish left 4 of those TDs (and 52 fantasy points) on the bench as he decided to follow the pundits and start Alex Smith ahead of Matt Stafford and Ted Ginn ahead of Keelan Cole. The lesson here is that pundits don't know $#!%. Don't look know, but Kent is 2-0 and armed and dangerous with that damn pencil of his.
This week's other results:
Chris (2-0) defeated Patrick (0-2) 142-99
Sean (2-0) defeat JP (0-2) 93-70
Weekly Pot Winner: Nate (144 points)
As you can see, only 2 teams this week are 1-1, everyone else is either 2-0 or 0-2. Could we be establishing the playoff race this early in the season? Perhaps, but week 3 has a tendency to muddy the waters just a little bit.
