Fantasy Football Awards Week 2

For those of you who follow the blog my love for fantasy football is on display on a regular. Currently I belong to three leagues, two of which I am the commish. Hope the readers enjoyed the first edition, now its time for...THE SEQUEL. As the familiars might now, two awards will not appear in this article to save the identities of those who had their hearts broken in our nailbiter of the week or for those who suffered the biggest beatdown of the week,whoever played against Chris Johnson AND Frank Gore.

Scoring System(if you are familiar with the scoring then skip to the awards...its okay I won't tell)

The league's I run are on Yahoo! and use custom scoring. For offensive players the scoring is as follows 1 point for 25 yards of passing/10 yards rushing/ 20 yards receiving, 6 points per TD(rushing or passing) and -2 for turning the ball over (interception or lost fumble). Kickers also get points however they will never appear on this list unless they kick like 7 field goals. Points vary for them depending on the distance of the field goals they make. The defense on the other hand, as long as they play Jake Delhomme, can appear on here. Our one league combines defense and special teams while the other does not. Sacks (1 point), interceptions/recovering a fumble (2 points), safety (2 points), block kick(2 points), getting a touchdown (6 points) and points allowed (PA for short, this has a ladder system for scoring with 0 points getting 10 points, 1-6 points getting 7 points, 7-13 gets 4 points, 14-20 gets 1 point, 21-27 equals 0 points, 28-34 results in losing 1, 35+ not only means your team defense is awful (which they are) but they made you lose 4 points. With the special teams included we receive a point for 35 return yards and 6 points per TD. Basically if anyone scores a TD you are getting 6 points. So moving on to the awards.

Week 2 Fantasy Football Rewards

No one should be surprised by my choke artist of the week.Since there is no "I" in team, it's hard to blame an entire team for a loss. That is why you have to give it to half of the team that played like garbage. Great against the run, terrible against the pass. Ladies and Gentleman, your...

CHOKE ARTIST OF THE WEEK

Tennessee Defense(100% owned in Fantasy Football/Real Football, 94% started in Yahoo!)

If you were lucky you got credit for their return yards and got 3 points. Most of us didn't and lost at least 1 point (34 PA, 161 return yards)

Clearly this is a popular defense with a lot of people. Probably due to their opponents (Texans) people thought why not. People that are very unhappy after their performance this week. I can feel your pain, at least a little. The league I owned them in I also had Frank Gore. That doesn't excuse the Titans for a sad performance.

NOTABLE PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK

So this award goes to a team/player who does really well just not as well as the MVP of the week. In most cases its a surprise that they did so well. For example, Tom Brady (or Kerry Collins, 16 points respectively, no seriously it happened) was limited to single digits while starting, this guy put up 30+ points in every league, most likely, on your bench.

Matt Schaub 38 points (357 yds passing, 4 TDs, 33% Start in Yahoo!)

Andre Johnson owners rejoice and laugh at those of us who still own Steve Slaton (what a slump). Schaub owners who played him enjoyed a beast mode game from a late round pick that they got to match up with Johnson. It is thanks to him that Tennessee lost that game. They couldn't stop a passing play. Unlike with the choke artist of the week, I can feel no empathy for anyone. I'm not monster of course I sympathize with you.

Frank Gore with 33 points needs an honorable mention. He did own the Seahawks this week.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

O.D.B. would say that this guy, "gets Psycho killerrrrrr Norman Bates!" O.D.B. further explained the MVP would ask, "How you like me now? You wanna get yo' teeth knocked the f.." Gotta stop you there, this is a family show.

Chris Johnson 41 points (197 rush yards, 2 TDs; 87 rec yds, 1 TD)

What is even more impressive is he did this with limited touches. It now has Lendale White owners asking when they can get some love? Johnson is explosive, once out in the open field he broke tackles and burned people down the sideline for his scores. This part of their offense was nonexistent in Pittsburgh for obvious reasons. Many Johnson owners were more then excited to see him go off. My question remains...WHEN WILL MJD DO IT?!? *head explodes*

Sorry I get a little emotional about my own players. Especially ones that I predicted would play well and hasn't done so yet. Do it MJD! Don't make a fool out of me!

So there you have it folks. Those of you who I am in the leagues with congrats to the owners who have these players. For the others, thanks for checking out the blog. Think there should be another player on here instead of those listed? Want to make fun of me for my obsession with fantasy football? Go ahead in the comments below. Until we BS again.
