NBD - Week 3 Review C

Following up on my earlier post about the SI Swimsuit Vault, I was just perusing and found this:

I forgot how redonk Tyra used to be. This pic from '97 combined with an erotic head massage I received from Joanne Uwujaren that same year might be the starting point of my ladies of flavor obsession. Before I get too far into my erotic jungle love fantasies, though, let's finish up the week in fantasy games.

Burke City Giants (111) defeat Deuceburger (81)

I think at some point recently I questioned the powerhouse nature of Michael Toobin's team. That was probably a mistake. Granted, his keepers DeAngelo Williams and (especially) Steve Slaton haven't quite lived up to their billing as top-10 RBs, but the luxury of having even mediocre backs in the later rounds allowed him to snatch up talent at the other positions in the early rounds of the draft. That spread of talent across the positions paid off this week, as nearly every Giant was in double-figures. Peyton Manning (30) led the way, and he's now right up there with Breesus Christ as top-scoring quarterbacks so far this year. Vincent Jackson (12), Randy Moss (12), Mason Crosby (11), and Slaton (11) all contributed, too; but all were surpassed by a free agent pick-up of Michael's, Brent Celek (16). While the rest of us are out spending tons of nbd-bucks on Glen Coffee and Mario Manningham, the Giants picked up Celek for free and immediately saw him go for 16 points. Fuck. As for Deuceburger, they are probably lucky to have only lost by 30. There were a plethora of awful showings from Kex's boys this week, including Darren Sproles (6), Larry Johnson (2), Kellen Winslow (1), the Kansas City D (1), and of course Turl Owens (0). Fortunately, big numbers posted by Matt Schaub and Santana Moss (24 each) kept things from getting embarrassing for Kex.

Wild Stallions (119) defeat Somewhere Over Dwayne Bowe (85)

For the first half of Sunday's Saints-Bills games, all the Saints hand-offs were going to Reggie Bush and some dude named Lynell Hamilton. This must have been nerve-wracking to DeYoung, who had inserted a supposedly healthy Pierre Thomas into this line-up. Then, inexplicably, Thomas appeared after halftime and proceeded to blow the game open, running for 124 yards and two touchdowns (25 fantasy points). The big loser in all this? Papkin, who had somehow decided that Heath Evans (who, if I'm not mistaken, is actually a fullback) was going to be getting all the touches for New Orleans. In fact, Evans got nothing. Instead, Papkin's other injury replacement Tashard Choice (filling in for Marion Barber) was the best running option on SODB, but he left his 20 points on the bench. Besides Thomas, DeYoung's big scorer on the day was Aaron Rodgers (29), who was ably supported by your NFL rushing touchdown leader, Willis McGahee (17), and the Ravens' Defense (17).
