Week Two: Huge Win.
a huge victory against hated rival chunky monkeys is making this season look up. heading into the sunday night game, i was up by a good twenty points and with only chris "i have no QB" chambers playing, i thought the game was a wrap. a few hours later, i return and see miami making desperate drive after desperate drive. this is the worst situation for a fantasy football owner. up by a few points, hoping to god that a player on the losing side won't catch a long touchdown. defenses go into prevent, QBs air it out. it's not unheard of for a WR to suddenly get a double digit game from late game drives. this was exactly the situation. miami kept on throwing it and throwing it and i knew eventually chambers had to catch something. so bam. right there at the end of the game, chambers catches a touchdown. so the game is tied. impending overtime. i'm only up by six. that's one long catch for chambers. oh my goodness. how can i lose?
i was already gloating to the monkeys about how a young upstart team like mine could knock off a team with peyton and ladainian. sure shaun alexander was hurt and underperformed but it wasn't like the monkeys were having a crap day. as for me, my team played out of it's mind. aaron brooks got 31 pts off a fabulous game. deshaun foster got 23 and roy williams got 21. sure rudi, j mccareins and fitzgerald played like crap but anything can be overlooked for a victory. but if i'd lost on a last minute miami drive. i was gonna be pissed. but no, i won, and now i'm in fourth place in my division -- the lowest scoring .500 team in the league. i don't care. i got a victory man. actually i should be 2-0 because last week i could of won if not for a lineup error.
but due to that lineup error, i have deshaun foster instead of tiki barber. i would of dropped deshaun last week but due to the lineup mishap, i ended up holding on to him. for week two i dropped tiki and started deshaun and was rewarded with a career high rushing game from foster (which will be carried over to the next week too!). awesome. and now with stephen davis out for a few weeks, deshaun might have a chance to capture the starting job. i'm getting pretty excited for my young team. i might be able to be a competitive team even while sitting on a few prospect. every other team in the league is getting decimated by injuries but all the broken bones and pulled hammies are only helping me. charles rogers goes down, i got roy williams. stephen davis goes down, i got deshuan. marshall faulk gets dinged up, i got steven jackson. i'm only praying every week that travis henry goes down.
ashley lelie has been a huge disappointment. it's hard to gauge if he'll ever be good. he should be donte stallworth, catching deep bombs and running for TDs. but he's not. time to drop him? justin mccareins has been a bit of a disappointment too. it seems like chad just never looks his direction. but roy is about to be a huge star this year and larry will have his day. i LOVE my team. love it. getting aaron brooks off the waiver wire was key too. he's gonna have a huge season, write that up.
so yeah, the dirty birds may not be a championship contender quite yet but we're not anyone's bitch either.
