Hello one and all! What a week in the LOC, we had injuries
galore, bench players vastly outscoring starters and, well actually this sounds
like a pretty bad week. But all is fair in love and fantasy and after two weeks
each division is represented by an undefeated, two .500s and a team that forgot
to set their alarm clocks for September. I am going to take this opportunity to
take a moment and light a candle (you can’t prove that I didn’t) as I offer my
condolences to Coaches Leach and Merritt who aren’t allowed to have RBs and
Coach Allen who isn’t allowed to have players, injuries are cruel things.
Anyway, onwards and upwards!
Coaches Award
Here we have a very well balanced team that responded
brilliantly to a loss last week and can consider themselves unfortunate to be
sitting at 1-1. A well drafted team is currently boasting players who are
severely outplaying their draft position in the likes of Latavius Murray and
Jordan Matthews. Every cog is turning right now and this coach knows better
than most to make the most of it while it lasts, well done to Coach Nathwani
for winning the Coaches Award this week.
Honourable mention: Coach Stubbs Sr. really isn’t messing
around, already leading the league in scoring by nearly 50 points with 272
after two weeks. Of course, the league record two week span does sit at over
400 points, so there is always room for improvement, ayy?
Wooden Spoon
Whilst it didn’t necessarily cost them the game this week,
whenever your benched player (and earlier draft pick) outscores your starter
nearly 5 fold, you are going to be a primary focus for this award. Coach Allen
got it wrong by benching Rivers this week and, like I said, it may not have
cost him the game, but it did kick off a good ol’ fashioned QB carousel in camp
Patistan, and a yearlong headache for the aforementioned Coach Allen.
Bold predictions
And here we meet 0-12 (still better than the Lions), it hasn’t
been a dream start and to be quite frank, I didn’t even come close last week. I
of course blame the players and not my psychic powers, I expect all of them to
up their games in response this week.
Cash4Gould vs. Forge Flyers: Coach Leach did the obvious
thing in picking up A.P.’s backup, then he picked up the backup’s backup…
Asiata goes for 3 TDs, like he does every other time he plays.
The Dream Team vs. Gridiron Gang: Coach Stubbs Jr. is
sitting pretty with a 45 point lead going into Monday night, unfortunately for
him that’s when Brees and Julio face off, with a sprinkling of Bryant just to
rub it in.
Sidenote: Dez Bryant is projected to both rush for 1 yard
and throw for 1 yard for The Dream Team, look it up. Fair play though NFL.com;
that is bold.
Burdettinators vs. The Bunch: Burdettinators third starting
QB of the year (it’s working out a lot better than it is for the Browns) is
their best yet. Ryan will triple Fitzpatrick’s score and leave The Bunch in the
dust.
The Tuckfards vs. Patistan: The most bitter of rivalries in
the LOC and The Tuckfards just ran out of RBs, ideal. Melvin Gordon is playing
the Colts, he will double the total score of the Tuckfards starting RBs
combined.
Bear Necessities vs. IKNAN: A lot of rushing talent on
display here, I see this game totalling 8 rushing TDs and generally big scores
across the board.
Tom’s Tyrants vs. ADRZ: Coach Wells loves a good pass-catching
RB. This weeks with both receivers facing tough matchups, his RBs will
out-receive his WRs in fact.
Right, that’s your predictions folks and, ever the optimist,
I am sure we have a good one or two gems hidden in there! Anyway, I wish you
all luck in your week ahead and I hope you enjoyed the article! P.S. listen to
the podcast, I’m in it. See you next week!
