re: The ATL Thread Fantasy Football Season Long Thread

Week 3 Predictions:

My record 3-3
Okie's 2-4

Swamp Donkeys (1-1) vs Mike Ehrmantraut (2-0):

The good news for team Swamp Donkeys is that Mathews will be making his return to the team. Bad news is he's coming in just as Bradshaw is going out. On the other side, Andre Johnson will be making his first appearance for the team which will be a big boost from CJ. Cruz is in for a huge game tonight with Nicks out and Gronkowski should start getting a few more looks with Hernandez out for awhile. If I can get points from my defense, I might have a chance, but so far I have a combined -4 points from that position on the year. It's hard for me to predict a team that has Andrew Luck and Josh Freeman at QB to move to 3-0, but that's just what I'm going to do. Dan wins this one.

Mo Isom's Body Fat (0-2) vs Gimme Sum Glory Hole (1-1):

On paper, this should be an easy team to pick. I mean, only one of these teams couldn't pull out a win when they were down 6 points with Peyton, Julio, and Tamme left to go. But in reality, it might be pretty close. Charles hasn't proven he's a quality starting RB quite yet, Davis has been garbage from the TE position, And Torrey hasn't shown that he can be much more than a guy that goes deep once a game. With that being said, I think Brees has a very efficient game against the Chiefs this week which proves to be the deciding factor. Okie wins this one and 31 falls to 0-3.

Bob Wickman's Gut (0-2) vs Heisenberg (2-0):

I'll keep this short and simple. One team has Cam and Rice then not much more, while the other team doesn't really have much of a weakness, led by the new fantasy monster, CJ Spiller. I think Vol's choice in taking Cam in the 1st round while he already had Rivers was one that might have cost him a good season. It's just too hard to trade QBs in fantasy football because there are 10-11 really solid ones and most teams are satisfied with what they have. Hull wins this game.

Caplewood (1-1) vs 8ball & MJD (1-1):

This is a pretty tough one to pick, so I'm going to have to go with who I think has the better team right now. As of now, that is Caple. Thomas has proven to be Manning's guy so that's a huge boost to the team. Reggie has been amazing so far. Foster is Foster. And Brady and Lloyd are better than what happened last week. I think this game will be really close, but Caple wins.

RollDatRoll (0-2) vs Muggla Fugglas (2-0):

It's no secret that Muggla Fugglas has outperformed its capabilities so far this year but the question is, will it continue to happen? I personally don't think it can. There are too many players that have proven throughout their careers to be very inconsistent and I don't expect that to change. I will say that EZE has hit on his draft picks so far, maybe more so than anyone else. On the other side, some players have underperformed, such as Welker and Jackson. And we're still waiting on Martin to have a breakout game. I think this game could go either way, but I'm taking Roll to get his first win. A loss here, and thing's won't be good for him.

The William Sisters (1-1) vs Hey Homeauxs (1-1):

On paper, I think Hilt has the better matchups right now. Problem is, what faith can I put in a team that trades Andre Johnson for Chris Johnson? While tchamp's team doesn't have those flashy players that stand out, he has solid players from top to bottom which I think will lead to a good year. Tchamp takes this one.
