Sofa King Great dominates Week 2!

For Sofas!!

The King has returned!  For the second week in a row it was a dominating defense which vaulted the high scoring team to the win.  This week it was the Steelers defense who took it to Cleveland, finishing with 6 sacks, 6 turnovers (3 fumbles, 2 4th down stops and 1 INT), and 2 Defensive TD’s, running up 30 fantasy points!  Sofa King Great also got big games from Justin Herbert (22 pts) and Christian McCaffrey (18 pts) to finish with 118 points and net a 64-point victory over Young Guns.  Nice work, Your Majesty!

Across the rest of the league, we have three undefeated teams remaining (Joe’s Pats, Sofa King Great and American BadAss), and three winless teams (Wyld Ass Monkeys, Big Sack No TD’s and sprouts).  The league records for best and worst start both stand at 6, so we still have a ways to go before either of those could be beaten.  

Just a quick update this week which includes the highest Best Bench score in nearly 2 ½ years… 

BIG TIME

-Kurt Cousins, QB – Wyld Ass Monkeys – 31 pts – Cousins had a great outing completing 31 passes for 364 yard and 4 TD’s.  Nearly 44% of the yardage gained went to Justin Jefferson.

-Daniel Jones, QB – Wyld Ass Monkeys – 29 pts – Jones’ career was almost over, after falling behind 0-20 to the inept Cardinals.  But he came back blazing in the 2nd half to finish with 321 yards and 2 TD’s passing, plus 59 yards and rushing TD.

-Brian Robinson, RB – Young Guns – 26 pts – B-Rob continued his hot start to the season, rushing for 87 yards and two TD’s plus 42 receiving yards.  He currently ranks as the 3rd highest scoring runningback in fantasy, just 6 points behind the leader Christian McCaffrey.

-Mike Evans, WR – Sofa King Great – 26 pts – Evans apparently doesn’t need TB12 to still go off in a game. He got 171 yards and a TD on just 6 catches… a per catch average of 28.5 yards!

COME ON MAN

-Kyle Pitts, TE – Big Sack No TDs – 1 pt – Disappointing day (and season) for Pitts, as he caught just 2 of 5 targets for only 15 yards.

-Denver, DEF – Coors Light Drunk Guys – 0 pts – The Broncos gave up 35 pts to Washington, and so the only thing keeping them from a negative score this week was by registering 4 sacks.

-Pat Freiermuth, TE – Wyld Ass Monkeys – 0 pts – Well, at least he caught every pass thrown his way.  Unfortunately, that amounted to 1 catch for 2 yards.  

-New York Giants, DEF – Young Guns – -1 pts – In spite of playing the Arizona Cardinals, the Giants recorded no defensive points.  No sacks, no turnovers… all they did was give up 28 points, and yet they still won the game.  Weird.

BEST BENCH

In the past five years, there have only been 5 Best Bench scores of greater than 50 points.  So to achieve this level of ineptitude is a rare occurrence.  But one team managed to do just that this week, and tally up an improvement just one point shy of the highest Best Bench since Week 7, 2020.  With a whopping 57-point-improvement-possibility, and taking home the Week 2 Best Bench, is my very own 76!  

I needed just three roster moves to get there:  D. Swift for N. Harris +22, R. Mostert for J. Jacobs +19 and N. Collins for B. Aiyuk +16.  If I just make any one of those changes this week, I would have won my game.  What is it with me and running backs the last two seasons?!

Alright, get those waivers in and get ready for Week 2!!!
