How’d Ol’ Lucky do? 143 fantasy points… if you had these guys, the other drafters in your league suck, and you not only won this weeks game, but you’ll probably go undefeated!
QB: Peyton Manning against the Houston: “3 TD’s is almost a given.” As it turns out I was right. What I didn’t expect was 400 passing yards from Mr. Lazer Arm. His 400 and 3 TD’s were good for 28 points in my league.
RB: Shaun Alexander against the Cardinals: Shaun didn’t look like his dominant MVP self, but he did rush for 89 yards and a TD, good for 14 points.
RB: LaDainian Tomlinson against the Titans: LT was out by the 4th quarter but that didn’t stop him from posting 122 total yards and 2 scores against the Titans. That performance rung up 24 fantasy points for me.
WR: Darrell Jackson against the Cardinals: 127 yards and a touchdown were good enough to be the 4th highest point scorer in my league, 18 big ones.
WR: Torry Holt against the 49ers: Torry only had 30 yards on his 5 catches, but one of them was for a score, giving me 9 points from the guy on an off day. Not bad.
TE: Antonio Gates against the Raiders: gates hasn’t proven to be a super fantasy stud yet, but his 55 yards gave me 5 points from the TE spot, not too shabby.
K: Jeff Wilkins against the Niners: Jeff didn’t rack up 21 fantasy points this week, but two 40-yarders and an extra point hooked me up with 9 fantasy points.
D: Baltimore Ravens against the Raiders: What do you know, the Ravens were the highest scoring defense in my league by 14 points over #2 Chicago. Their 3 interceptions, 3 fumble recoveries, 6 sacks, 162 yards given up, and 6 points against hooked my up with 36 big ones, the highest scoring fantasy option in Week 2.
LUCKY’S Week 2 SLEEPERS
Phillip Rivers: This young kid is going to be a good one. He completed 25 of 35 for 235 yards and a score in a laugher against the Titans.
Tatum Bell: Mike Bell played as well, so Tatum only got 16 carries. He averaged 4.3 per carry and rushed for 69 yards, but no touchdowns so the fantasy points were limited.
Dominic Rhodes: Dominic might have a tough time holding the starting spot with the way Joseph Addai played this week in Houston. Rhodes wasn’t a complete waste though, he had 50 total yards and a touchdown.
Braylon Edwards: Braylon came out and showed some of his grand talent by taking 4 passes for over 100 yards. He’ll be something special some day.
Troy Williamson: Troy had a nice day against the Panthers, 102 receiving yards. He’s going to be a full-blown must start sooner rather than later. ??
Ben Watson: Only 39 yards for Benny… I’m expecting a lot more from this guy.
Jaguars DST: Can you say interceptions, sacks, and a big fat shutout of the Super Bowl Champs? Yeah, I’d say they were a nice pick here.
LUCKY’S Week 2 WUSSIES
Aaron Brooks: Negative points fantasy wise, injury, never to start again?
Edgerrin James: Though Edge produced 9 fantasy points, he still hasn’t ran like the Cards hoped he would. Most of his yards came late in the game when the Cardinals needed to be passing the ball. Maybe Dennis Green had Edge on his fantasy squad and he needed some points?
Randy Moss: 2 catches 32 yards…. Yeehaw!
LaMont Jordan: See above. LaMont didn’t have a fantasy impact. 19 carries for 35 yards, that’s 1.8 yards per rush, and 3 whole points.
