Week 1 Recap

Well week 1 is over and we had some outstanding performances and some disappointments in the match ups this week.  Only two games were really undecided going into Monday night, Patriots vs. Decapitators and DaBearS vs. Steelers.  So now we can get into the recaps.


Game of the Week
DaBearS  - 122.68 vs. Steelers - 134.62


Since all of Fetter's players were finished playing Sunday, Todd had only one hope of overcoming his deficit going into Monday, Ray Lewis.  Unfortunately, 16 points is a lot to ask of one linebacker, however Reverend McStabby couldn't  come through, having only 4 points in the game.


The Steelers won the game with solid performances from most of his starters, but no one really stood out.


Steelers Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds
Stud: Ahmad Bradshaw - 15.3 pts. (76 Rush yds, 1 Rush TD, 17 Rec. yds, 1 Fum lost)
Dud: Chris Long - 0 pts. (Evidently the St. Louis lineman touched no one during his game.)


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Darren McFadden - 21 pts. (85 Rush yds, 55 Rec yds, 1 Rec TD)
McFadden finally lived up to expectations against a good Titans D.  Michael Bush may have trouble getting his job back if this continues.


DaBears still had a chance in this one, but disappointing performances (thanks to Arian Foster) by Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson really held them back.  If those two had lived up to expectations the outcome of this game would have been completely different.


DaBears Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds
Stud: Matt Forte - 35.1 pts. (50 Rush yds, 151 Rec yds, 2 Rec TDs) Can you say resurrection!
Dud: Andre Johnson - 3.3 pts. (33 Rec yds) Never want to get fucked like this by your 1st round pick.


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Eli Manning - 22.32 pts. (263 Pass yds, 3 Pass TD, 3 INT, -2 Rush yds) Eli had it all over Schaub this week.




Patriots - 123.32 vs. Decapitators - 99.78


This was another one that might have turned around, but an expected charge by the Decapitators never materialized.  However the highlight of the night in this game was brought to us by Chiefs rookie Dexter McCluster, on a 94 yard punt return for a touchdown.





Patriots Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds
Stud: Ronnie Brown - 14.5 pts. (65 Rush yds, 1 Rush TD, 20 Rec yds)
Stud: Curtis Lofton - 12.5 pts. (8 Tackles Solo, 3 Tackle Assists, 1 Sack)
Dud: Brent Celek - 3.2 pts. (32 Rec yds)


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Vince Young - 19.16 pts. (154 Pass yds, 2 Pass TD, 30 Rush yds, 1 Fum Lost)


Decapitators Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds
Stud: Dallas Clark - 14 pts. (80 Rec yds, 1 Rec TD)
Dud: Percy Harvin - 1.4 pts. (2 Rush yds, 12 Rec yds)


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Bench decimated by injuries and holdouts.  On the slightly less dark side Fred Jackson almost had 2 points.  Sorry dude.


Chiefs - 74.64 vs. 49ers - 98.28


Sorry to say Hull, but you were right Sunday afternoon, your team played like shit.  There were only two players who scored in double digits for you this week.  Patrick had some good performances from several players, but there were also some that severely underperformed.


Chiefs Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds (if I can find any studs)
Stud: Maurice Jones-Drew - 11.3 pts. (96 Rush yds, 15 Rec yds)
Dud: Michael Turner - 4.9 pts. (42 Rush yds, 7 Rec yds)


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Carson Palmer - 26.7 pts. (345 Pass yds, 2 Pass TD, 1 Int, 9 Rush yds)


49ers Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds
Stud: Jamaal Charles - 16 pts. (92 Rush yds, 1 Rush TD, 8 Rec yds)
Dud: Mike Sims-Walker - 0 pts. 


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Mohamed Massaquoi - 11.6 pts. (46 Rec yds, 1 Rec TD, 1 Solo Tackle)


And now on to the blowouts...


Hamsters - 165.58 vs. Cowboys4 - 95.72


I had a really good week.  Not as good a certain person I happen to be related to, but good all the same.  Never hurts to have 3 players score 20+, and another 4 in double digits.  As for the Cowboys, Peyton Manning had a great fantasy day, bad reality day.  There was a lot of under performance among the Cowboy's starters, but a couple of bright spots on the bench.


Hamsters Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds
Stud: Hakeem Nicks - 25.5 pts. (75 Rec yds, 3 Rec TD)
Dud: Frank Gore - 8.3 pts. (38 Rush yds, 45 Rec yds) Ok, so my first round pick screwed me a little too.  I could have gone with Ray Rice here, but his numbers are a little more understandable  considering the defenses they played against.


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Steve Breaston - 18.2 pts. (132 Rec yds, 2 Solo Tackles, 1 Forced Fumble)


Cowboys Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds
Stud: Peyton Manning - 40.32 pts. (433 Pass yds, 3 Pass TD)
Dud: DeSean Jackson - 3 pts. (30 Rec yds)


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Austin Collie - 21.1 pts. (131 Rec yds, 1 Rec TD)


Titans - 185.52 vs. Bear Down Brawlers - 124.92


Well, Don, last week you were thanking me for the opportunity to spank the champ in week 1.  Unfortunately, it looks like you're the one with paddle marks on his ass after this game.  To illustrate the big day Champ Cocksucker had, he would have won if he had only started Tom Brady, Ochocinco, Chris Johnson, and Arian Foster.  Don actually had a pretty decent week, but it's awfully hard to overcome 135 points coming from just four players.


Titans Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds
Stud: Arian Foster - 50.8 pts. (231 Rush yds, 3 Rush TD, 7 Rec yds)
Dud: Randy Moss - 5.9 pts (59 Rec yds)


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Brandon Jacobs - 6.5 pts (44 Rush yds. 21 Rec yds.) This is only true due to Ryan Grant's injury.


Bear Down Brawlers Week 1 Fantasy Studs and Duds
Stud: Rashard Mendenhall - 21.5 pts. (120 Rush yds, 1 Rush TD, 15 Rec yds)
Dud: Robert Meachem: - 3.3 pts. (33 Rec yds)


Asshole You Should Have Started This Week
Johnny Knox - 6.2 pts. (52 Rec yds, 1 Solo Tackle)
