22/23 Week3 Recap
Sorry for the late and lazy write up this week boys, just been late and lazy as of late. It's about the time of the season where one looks at their roster and sees their future laid bare. Either they ride their current players to glory or defeat, or allow someone that they've grown fond of to leave for the chance at maybe even one win. I love how much trade talk there has been but also need to show you all this:
It's still early in the season but some are ecstatic, others quivering, and a few panicking. Long-term predictions are as flimsy as score projections week to week, so its still anyones game. And here we find matchups:
Fuck You Cammarn Vol.2 (154.12) v Return of the Fupa Party (104.14)
A pure trouncing. Highest scorer for the second week in a row, I rode the ravens stacks of Lamar (40.42) and Andrews (24.9) to a victory. I also got a nice performance from Kirk and Derrick Henry is finally back to his kinglike ways. On the other hand, his top scorers were his defense and a wr for the bucs that probably played his best game ever on Sunday. He finally broke 100 for the first time this season, but the losses are piling up fast for Marty.
Brother Decotis Lives (112.38) v Martins Sweat Box (98.54)
One of our undefeated teams goes down as Tuna takes down Trev. Solid double digits for most of his team all around (Kupp, GB D, and Mahomes all delivering more than 15) but holy shit Devonta Smith went off. Trev had a legitimate chance to make a comeback here, he had great performances from his rbs, D and Special teams. But people covering Jefferson finally has not been good for Trev, as his WRs got less than 10 a piece.
Sean Paul's Naughty Shawties (106.4) v Dawson's Zeke (100.2)
Closer than we all thought at first, Camm sneaks out a win against Ira, keeping the losing streak alive. Good performances from most of Camms team, Burrow had 24 and AJ Brown and Kele got more than 15 for him. But the injury to Montgomery almost cucked him in the butt. Granted, Ira also had a 1.1 performance from his TE, but other than his top two wideouts and Josh Allen, the rest of his team does not want to do anything much on the football field.
Snake Island Serpentines (84.0) v Team Coughlin (58.16)
Meg is so far down the dumpster that he's considering trades from Payton lol. He barely got double digits from 3 of his players with Najee not doing much but finally hitting pay dirt. But holy shit this was bad, almost one of the worst performances I've seen (we'll get back to that in a second). Jackson didn't have a wonderful week either but didn't need to do much at all to stay undefeated. Many players with double digits, but with Kirk Cousins being his best performer, Meg will prolly go back and strangle past Meg for the way he drafted, this one was winnable.
Non-Fungible Team (93.7) v Losing Season, Drinking Reason (41.78)
Now we get to the worst performance I've seen in this league. This one got so bad that Gordo started doing but stuff with the trophy. The best player in fantasy per-draft has not been able to carry Gordo like he did last year, Justin Herbert was his top scorer with about 12.5. And then he had 2 almost goose eggs, 1 actual goose egg, and negative from his D. Yikes. Much like Jake, Robby didnt have to do a whole lot to win, getting some double digits from skill players but riding another fantastic Jalen Hurts performance to stay undefeated.
Orchids of Asia (119.9) v WRs Win Championships (102.66)
ahrd fought game between both as Schmaus emerged with his first win of the season. The literal epitome of a team effort, every single one of players sans his #1 pick (Kamara) pulled out double digits. In fantasy you cant ask for much more than that. Payton definitely isnt gonna win a championship with just wide receivers if only one is gonna post a big game. He got some rb points for once with Cordarelle putting up over 20 but he definitely needs more consistency from the rest of his team to make any sort of difference in the league. And, you know, make fair trade offers so you can actually change up a team instead of hoping someone is blacked out drunk and accepts one of your trades.
POW(D)ER RANKINGS
Tier 1) Sitting Pretty for Now- Anything can happen in fantasy, but these teams look like they can make it to playoffs right now. Any of these teams could be ranked higher or lower than they are, maybe the parity we see now will be change as the season goes on.
1. Non-Fungible Team (3-0)- Happy Birthday Rob. He takes the top sot in the rankings this week by keeping his undefeated start to the season going. He might be in some trouble if Hurts goes down, but he looks like he could ball all season, a deserved spot for Rob after being in the top three last week.
2. Sean Pauls Naughty Shawties (3-0)- Camm is also undefeated, although Ira gave him a run for his money this past week. He's having to really look to his bench after injuries to his top two running backs and Burrow performing every week not being a given, but the rest of his team looks solid enough to show out week per week.
3. Fuck You Cammarn Vol.2 (2-1)-I move up a spot this week after another consecutive week of being the high scorer. My Ravens stack is giving me oodles and boodles of points, but the rest of my team is keeping up as well. My bench is deep but my wideouts have been questionable almost every week and they need to stay healthy for me to keep the train chugging.
4.Snake Island Serpentines (3-0)- Jake says undefeated and shouldn't have to worry about much, but my reasoning for dropping him down to 4th consists of a few things. Much like last year, Jackson has a good record but isn't having many points scored against him. Whether his luck on that front runs out is one thing, but his team looks almost too reliant on Stefon Diggs. Yes I'm talking about one of the best receivers in the nfl in one of the best offenses in the nfl. But anyone can have a bad week, and if the Bills show any chinks in their armor Jackson could be one to suffer.
Tier 2) Wishing Upon a Star- These teams are fine for now, good drafts should keep them in contention. But they might need some luck to go their way if they went to secure a playoff berth.
5. Brother Decotis Lives (2-1)- Tuna moved into the over .500 crowd with a win over Trevor. He has two of the best wide receivers in the game, but like the case with Jackson a bad week here and there could hurt him if his team cant stay consistent. He has a good bench, as long as the dolphins aren't frauds and Devonta Smith can be what everyone thought he would be Tuna should be fine. But those are very big ifs.
6. Martins Sweat Box (2-1)- After two furious weeks for Trev, he tastes defeat for the first time in our league by the skin of his teeth. He still has the team to make a push for the playoffs, but it seems to all come down to how Justin Jefferson is doing. Yes, Chubb and Saquon will usually go off, but Jefferson is the kind of player that make or break Trev deliciously.
Tier 3) Gotta make things happen- This tier is the start of the bottom of our rankings. These guys desperately need to make a trade or a sweet waiver pickup, because their teams do not look like they can sustain the long run.
7. Orchids of Asia (1-2)- Most of this team looks like they have run out of gas. Some maybe just for the season (Deebo not looking like the same player but maybe thats just hampering injuries) while players like Kamara and Zeke are starting to look like their best days are behind them. Injuries are also an issue but aside from a few players (namely Waddle), this does not look like a contending squad, at least for right now.
8.Losing Season, Drinking Reason (1-2)- This past week kind of says it all, but even then, theres players on this team that can perform. Whether they perform week to week is a different matter. Things like a lingering injury to Dobbins and half his team dealing with questionable injuries put him here, but unless JTay starts playing like he did last year, Gordo might be fucked.
9. WRs Win Championships (1-2)- Decent squad on paper, but not on the field so far this season. He smells the scent of him missing the playoffs in the air and is trying to trade to avoid it, but it seems like he's trying to trade-rape everybody so keep your wits about you boys. His team has potential but he cant keep waiting on players to get injured for his squad of RB handcuffs to have any value.
Tier 4) Dumpster Babies- They're all adopted.
10. Dawson's Zeke (0-3)- Someone give Ira a game plz. Ekeler and Robinson have been busts and he doesn't have a very deep bench to count on. Ira have you started praying yet?
11. Team Coughlin (0-3)- Technically in last place right now but with more promise than our dunce of the week, he has 2 players that he can really count on to put up double digits (Swift and Kittle). He's streaming QBs right now someone help him.
12. Return of the Fupa Party (0-3)- Three weeks in a row. Streaming Qb's and benching Kyle Pitts are never a recipe for success, (I know he sucks but still Logan Thomas had 1.5 points in a game where they had to throw the ball the entire time) his best player kind of sucks (CMC) and his defense is prolly gonna be his most consistent performer from here on out. Not a good look.
Not much else to say, we're slowly hitting the middle of the season these coming weeks and the men will truly be separated from the boys. Curious to see how rosters change with everyone feeling the trade itch and with football just being football. People will die and paupers will prosper. People will make trades they feel wonderful about just to see it blow up in their face (see: my trade for Saquon last year). And that my friends, is fantasy football. Fuck you all, see you next week.
