After a
wobbly week #1, ProfMJ exploded for 182 pts this week, even
despite the
Prescott-Lamb connection not clicking on all cylinders when the
Cowboys got
their ass kicked by the Saints.
Thankfully they had a long TD connection of 65 yards but
the rest was
quite poor including 2 INTs for Prescott and a fumble not lost. It is James Cook who
started the week on the
right foot with 3 TDs in the first half of the Thursday game and
finished with
26.75 pts. Rookie M
Harrison was benched
because of his poor showing in week #1 and scored 25.5 pts on
the bench but it
did not matter much because M Nabers started and scored 21.25
pts which was the
best starting rookie score of the week, outscoring all other
starters by more
than 10 pts. Defense
was generally good
with double digit scores from the Jets, D Hunter, Al-Shaair, and
Love, Mosley
being the only laggard with 3 pts.
Similarly
to Prof, Old bounced back from a poor week #1 with 173.75 pts
and second place
this week. The
difference between first
and second was entirely due to the rookie position because Old
started K
Coleman who scored a goose egg and left Brock Bowers on the
bench who scored
13.75 pts. Kamara
was the top scorer in
the entire PQBFL with 39 pts thanks to 4 TDs and 180 yards from
scrimmage. He has
helped forget about McCaffrey’s injury
and might even stay in the starting lineup after CMC returns,
ahead of Kyren
Williams who was drafted to be RB2 but might end up RB3. Williams scored a
short TD but only rushed
for 25 yards. Old’s
WRs also propelled
Old near the top with 21.75 pts from Godwin and 17.75 pts from
Amon-Ra who soothed
concerns after week #1 that something was wrong with him when he
only scored
4.5 pts.
The
Admirals finished in the blue with 153 pts and after two weeks
are in the thick
of the race, only one rank-points behind first place which is a
nice surprise
considering Adm’s low pre-season projections.
Kyler Murray destroyed the Rams with 34.5 pts and ranks
QB3 in the PQBFL
after two weeks, even ahead of the consensus QB1 Josh Allen (FE
– QB4). The other
big score for Adm was DL Hutchinson
who sacked Mayfield 4.5 times and even forced a fumble and that
was still not
enough for the Lions to win but it provided a much needed 26 pts
for Adm. In
Houston, Adm scored on both sides of the
ball with 21.75 pts for Nico Collins and 16.5 pts for the Texans
defense. The main
reason Adm was not near first and
second place despite those big scores from
Murray-Hutch-Collins-Texans is that
there were too many glaring holes in Adm’s starting lineup. RB R White only scored
1.75 pts. The Bucs
won that game so in what
circumstances will White be expected to do well? With AJ Brown injured
Adm is very thin at the
WR position and started Mike Williams who was limited to 1.75
pts.
FlyingElvis
beat Wax by a small margin (2.5 pts) which means as a result FE
is now part of
the triple-tie in first place along with Wax and Prof. FE performed well on
the defensive side led
by Maxx Crosby doing what he was drafted to do which means
batter the opposing
QB. This week it’s
L Jackson who was in
his crosshairs and Crosby sacked L-Jax twice and also had 4
tackles for a loss
for a total of 17.5 pts to help the Raiders pull off the upset
in
Baltimore. DB
Branch had an INT, TJ Watt
a sack, and Wagner enough tackles and assists to reach double
digits. On offense
it was more of a mixed bag for
FE. D Adams did his
part along with
Crosby to beat the Ravens thanks to a short TD with 4 minutes
left. Adams was
FE’s highest scorer of the week
with 19.5 pts. Not
far behind was DK
Dobbins who feasted on the bottom of the barrel Panthers with
18.75 pts. Not all
weeks will have such juicy matchup,
but this week was the right call to bench Josh Jacobs (9.5 pts). FE started the correct
rookie McConkey but he
only scored 3.25 pts and backups were even worse. TE Andrews outscored I
Likely this week but
still did not score much with only 6.5 pts so early returns on
Andrews as 4th
round pick have not been good.
WaxOnWaxOff
finished in the middle with 144.5 pts mostly because of the
scoring of
WRs. Metcalf led
the way with 24.25 pts
to make up for his poor outing in week #1 when he only scored
4.25 pts. Ju
Jefferson scored a 97-yard TD which
boosted him to 18.5 pts but unfortunately other than that catch
he only had 3
receptions for 36 yards. At
RB both
starters scored double digits, Achane benefiting from Mostert’s
absence to
score 18.75 pts but Barkley fell short of his projection with
11.5 pts and missed
on beating FE on MNF because Barkley did not score a TD not to
mention his
costly drop late in the 4th quarter which caused the
Eagles to lose. QB
Richardson had a couple of TD bombs in
week #1 but he was far more quiet in week #2 as the Colts were
held to only 3
pts until Richardson threw a short TD with less than 2 minutes
left to mitigate
his otherwise catastrophic outing with 3 INTs and only 5.75 pts. Rookie B Thomas caught
a 66-yard pass but it
was not for a TD and he only had one other catch the rest of the
game so he
could not do better than 6.5 pts.
The
GloriousBastards finished in the bottom half and slid to 7th
place
in the standings although the top 7 are all quite close to each
other. WRs were the
main problem for Bas this week
with only 10.75 pts from Chase + M Evans combined, which is even
less than the
weekly projection of each of them separately (14 and 12 pts). McBride was the best
receiver of the week for
Bas but part of it was luck because he recovered a fumble from
Conner in the
end zone to score. Conner
is one of the
few Bas starters who beat his projection even if slightly with
13.75 pts. Bijan
did not score on MNF and Bo Nix +
Mahomes had 2 INTs each, although Mahomes at least had 2 TDs
unlike Nix. It is
defense which helped Bas avoid
finishing in the red with 16.5 pts from the Steelers and a
whopping 25.5 pts
from LB Warner who was all over the field with a sack, an INT,
and two forced
fumbles.
The
BeaudoinBrothers came back to earth after a dominant week #1
with an injury
riddled week #2. Cooper
Kupp left the
game early and was limited to 5.75 pts and will miss some time. Jalen Hurts lost his
main WR AJ Brown but
matched his projection with 20 pts.
Tyreek Hill is in the opposite situation, he lost his QB
Tua Tago for
the forseeable future and only scored 5 pts.
D Buckner was the second best DL in week #1 but got
injured after only a
handful of snaps and scored only one point.
Thankfully Stevenson and D Henry saved Beaud from an even
worse week by
scoring a TD each and Dugger contributed as well with 15 pts. After two weeks Dugger
is the second best DB
in the PQBFL. Also
kicker Aubrey nailed
4 more FGs for 13 pts. He
is now 8/8 on
the season with 7 of the 8 FGs being 40+ yards.
The
Decepticons’ season is unravelling at lightning speed. Dec ranked 2nd
and 3rd
in preseason projections for key backups and starters, and yet
Dec is already
very far behind by finishing 8th for the second
straight week. The
situation at the highest scoring position
QB is a catastrophe of epic proportions.
With J Love already missing time due to his injury, Dec
had no choice
but to start Tua Tago against the above average defense of the
Bills. Tago got
roughed up and threw 3 INTs before
being finally knocked out and he exited the game with a paltry
score of 2
points. Who knows
when he will come back
but unless Love is healthy next week, Dec is facing the prospect
of a goose egg
at the QB position. Good
luck with
that. Unless the GM
makes a move of
course. Tago’s injury will not only affect Dec at QB but also WR
because going
forward the outlook for Waddle is not very bright. Waddle only scored
6.25 pts this week, but at
least Drake London scored the game-winning TD on Dec’s bench so
he could be
called into action sooner rather than later.
Dec’s other starting WR was DeVonta Smith who is one of
the few who
benefited from injury with AJ Brown being out he scored 15.75
pts. Dec could have
beat Beaud on MNF not only
with D Smith having a good game, but DB Bates even better with
19.5 pts. However
Kyle Pitts was a ghost like in years
past with only 4 pts.
As bad as
things are going for Dec so far, it’s even worse for the Ballers
who finished
last for the second straight week.
The
Ballers did improve from week 1 (110.5 pts) to week 2 (120.75
pts) but the
PQBFL averaged 9 more points in week 2 than week 1 so Ball
comparatively lagged
pretty much the same. The
Ballers’
second round pick (P Nacua) and third round pick (K Walker) both
missed due to
injury. First round
pick G Wilson hardly
did anything with 7 pts and franchise player Lamar Jackson
underperformed
relative to his weekly projection by even more than Wilson did,
by scoring
13.75 pts. Only Zay
Flowers (16.5 pts)
and Kittle (15.75 pts) saved the day on offense but it was a
lost cause. On
defense Ball drafted at least 3 players at
LB and DB but left DL somewhat exposed with a roster of only 2. It looks like Ball
will pay the price because
DL Derrick Brown is out for the year so Ball is left with Chris
Jones and
nobody else. Jones
scored a pedestrian 5
pts this week.
