1). Captain Hook and Ladder (2-0)
Steve has had perhaps the best start to a season that you could have. He avoided the Bell fiasco by taking Zeke and then even better he found Conner in the 14th Rd. The 3 headed monster of Gurley/Bell/Conner is avging 19/pts a piece over the first 2 weeks. Ellis just missed out on Mixon this week as he was too slow to respond to Schindler’s offer. Being that he’s a sure thing to be in the playoffs, he should move Conner asap.
2). Dixie Normous (1-1)
Every wide receiver that Alex drafted has panned out and then some. In addition, Alex’s dreams came true with Devonta getting hurt allowing Tevin to be a top 15 back. In desperate need of another RB, Alex made a great move to ship JuJu for Mixon/Gio. If Mixon becomes a RB1 on his return, Alex could have the best team in the league.
3). Grande Se Cador (1-1)
Tom beat Alex this week behind an unreal performance from Patrick Mahomes. The core of Melvin/Evans/Thielen is one of the best in the league and if Tom can survive until Bell comes back, then he will really have something. Tom also receives a boost in the rankings for responding to a trade offer in under 2 hours, which has to be a record.
4). Nick’s Got a Chubb (2-0)
Shula has a great threesome of Kamara/Cook/MT, but after that, he doesn’t have any other player in the top 20 in their position valuewise. Crab and Cooper are an absolute joke and are not really startable at this point. Shula got lucky to win last week by only scoring 89 and beating Justin. The schedule gets much harder the next 2 weeks as Alex and Ellis come to town.
5). The Cluster Screw (1-1)
Earl is never one to worry about changing things up. He went hard after MT/AB/Hunt/Diggs this week to try to consolidate and find a star. He landed AB after taking advantage of Hoober’s love affair with Lamar, and now Earl has a big three of Hopkins/AB/McCaffrey. No one is easier to deal with than Earl, and no one is more ready to deal than Earl.
6). Yo Adrians (1-1)
Just like last year, Hoober had solid WRs and no stability at RB, so he decided to go after Lamar Miller for the 2nd straight year to try and fix the problem. The deal with Earl leaves him with more tough starting lineup decisions than anyone else in the league, will he choose the right starter is the question. Jay and Collins are two of the riskiest backs in the league right now and one must pop in order for any success here.
7). Yarvard U (1-1)
Schindler has made three separate deals in the last 48 hours and is working on more. I’m not sure anyone is more active on the trade front than this manager. He has turned a bunch of bums into a solid core of OBJ and JuJu and now he can trade OBJ for something way more than he paid for him. After narrowly beating Grant by 2 points, he just ransacked him on the trade market with the OBJ deal.
8). I Am Rory (0-2)
Oh boy are things looking grim here. Josh has fallen to 0-2 for the second straight year. David Johnson is no longer an RB1 because his offense sucks. Josh just traded Shady taken at #21 overall for K. Golladay who was taken in the 10th. No one overvalues their own players more than this owner, and he also is saying that his team scored over 100 each of the first two weeks, justifying that he’s fine. News flash, your team actually scored 87 and 89 points, and you’re staring at 0-3.
9). Prison Mike’s Riot Squad (1-1)
Justin is going to have a hard time scoring over 100 any week with Leonard always being hurt. Justin mistakenly missed out on TJ Yeldon (even though he was high bidder) last week because he forgot to drop someone when he put in a claim and his prized RB Phillip Lindsay took his last roster spot. DT is bad and Lynch is unreliable. He keeps saying he’ll be better when Wentz and Alshon come back but it’ll probably be too late and Alshon is at best a low end WR2, big deal.
10). Duge Hick (0-2)
The worst team in the BBC just got worse this morning. Grant traded his best overall player, OBJ, for Jarvis, Thompson, and Enunwa. First, it’s not PPR so Chris Thompson doesn’t matter, Jarvis is borderline WR2, and Quincy is worthless. Frank Gore is not going away in Miami and Jordan Howard is inefficient. Grant needs to find a way to beat Earl or his season is over.
