Week 2 Fantasy Football Recap

This week I went 2-2 in my leagues, winning both ESPN leagues, and losing both Yahoo leagues. Both ESPN matchups were close and I was unsure of my win until the Monday game concluded.  My Yahoo matchups weren't close, however, and I'm unhappy with the performances of those teams.

ESPN 10 Team League - "Gregory20" Win 96-92

  • I am really happy with how my team performed this week.  I got above-projected results out of Carson Palmer, Ryan Mathews, Jordy Nelson, and the Cardinals defense.  I am looking forward to seeing if these results will be the norm or if this was an anomaly.

ESPN 10 Team League - "pigskins" Win 108-100

  • Although I won this matchup, I consider myself lucky to be victorious.  Big weeks from Kelvin Benjamin and the Broncos D/ST really saved me from poor performances from Russell Wilson and LeSean McCoy.  I am beginning to get a little concerned with how poor Wilson and the Seahawks have been playing thus far this season.

Yahoo's 12 Team League - "The League" Loss 59.86 - 92.51

  • I pretty much got blown away in this matchup and am not real pleased with how my roster performed.  A.J. Green was shut down by the Steelers defense and got me very little points and Carlos Hyde was even worse.  I should have started Charles Sims in Hyde's place, which wouldn't have helped much, it just would have been the smarter move.  My opponent has a great roster, and he was helped greatly by big weeks from Ben Roethlisberger, Julio Jones, and Denver's defense.

Yahoo 16 Team Deep Keeper League – “The GM Keeper League” Loss 484.50 - 526.10

  • I never really know what to make of this league or its scoring.  Because the scoring is so high it is tough to judge the quality of my roster.  I was let down greatly by Antonio Brown, Danny Woodhead, Carlos Hyde, and Jordan Matthews.  However, Julian Edelman, Delanie Walker, and Graham Gano all outperformed their projections.
