MJD Fanclub can breath a sigh of relief after scoring sub-40 points two weeks in a row. They almost matched that entire output this week (73.84) even though they still lost at the end of the day to los cacahuetes. Plus, there's a new record for futility. Check out below...
Oopeikralc (53.74) vs NAACHOOO! (22.04)For how NAACHOOO! did this week, look below. What we'll be focusing on from this matchup is the lone undefeated team in the league, Oopeikralc. Sure, we know it's a bit unfair to highlight Clark's team when it's coming off of a terrible week but who cares about the highlight reel right? It's all about wins and losses baby.
During their undefeated run so far, Oop has been led by the indomitable Donovan McNabb. He's currently thrown five touchdowns, mostly to old teammate Terrell Owens (three TDs), and the ground game of Clinton Portis (15 pts avg) has been steady. So far, the battle of rookie RBs between Darren McFadden and Felix Jones has paid off for Clark, as both have shown promise and signs of fantasy relevance.
The big issue at hand for this team is the receivers. Roy Williams and Andre Johnson have been disturbingly quiet, tallying less than five points a game. TE Vernon Davis has been basically non-existent, with only sixty eight yards on the season. For Oops to keep up their winning streak, they might need some of these guys to step up. Or they could try to play NAACHOOO! again.
NAACHOOO!, who started off the year with a nice win, smashed the old "record" of 37.30 points by putting up a pathetic 22.04 points for the entire week. Twelve players scored more than 22 points this week just by themselves. Two 49ers, JT O'Sullivan and Frank Gore both could have done it. Geezes people, how much lower can the low score go?
Here's how such record setting futility was achieved. Big Ben Roethlisberger and Patriots defense both tallied negative points. Joey Galloway and Justin Fargas got big fat zeroes, mainly because they were injured. If not for Greg Jennings' 12.50 outburst, this team would have scored less than ten points -- with a nine man roster!
Fishtorious (92.50) vs fobsters (91.64)And it hurts so bad. Losing by a little over twenty points heading into MNF, the 2-0 fobsters had to feel good about their chances. Already buoyed by the great performance from QB Drew Brees (24.34) and the reemergence of TJ Houshmandzadeh (21.60), they had to feel semi-confident for a comeback victory. After all, it was first overall pick LaDainian Tomlinson facing off against WR Chris Chambers for Fishtorious.
The Fish had gotten stellar performances from RB Joseph Addai (20.80) and WR Brandon Marshall (22.50) but had to feel a bit queasy knowing that LDT was coming Monday night. Well, attack he did, even with an injured toe limiting him. He put up almost a hundred combined yards and scored two touchdowns to try to push his team over the top. Sadly, the Chargers also had some success through the air and lo and behold, Chris Chambers got a second quarter touchdown that enabled Fishtorious to escape with a narrow victory.
Both teams had high scorers left on the bench. WR Roddy White finally broke out for the fobsters and it looks like RB Rudi Johnson might have life after the Bengals, scoring 19.10 points in WK3. Coming off last week's brilliant come from behind win over All Out of Gum, the Fish have to applaud QB Tony Romo's steady hand and his cool head in leading them to third place overall.
