The Chief and I are headed up to Boston this weekend to catch a game at Fenway, so without a leisurely Saturday around the house to write another tome, Week 2 predictions will be short and sweet.
I Drink Your Milkshake! vs. Chestpubes & Ballfro
I'd be hard-pressed to name a weekend in the past three seasons when I'd take my team over Colly's, but for some reason I've got a good feeling about this Battle of Brooklyn. Maybe it's because Ryan Grant, Steven Jackson, and Hines Ward are all taking on atrocious defenses.

CH Croakies vs. Tri Steeg Area
Looks relatively even to me, but Manning's got horrible fantasy luck.

The Leadfarmers vs. Mephistopheles
Unfortunately, I foresee Drew Brees going nuts on the Redskins this weekend, giving Ray perhaps the top scorer of the week.

Zorn Country vs. Woody's Warriors
Brian Westbrook is a fantastic fantasy football player (he's pretty good at the real thing, too), but otherwise Woody's team just doesn't impress me. I'm pretty sure I say that every year, and every year his team proves to be significantly better than mine, but it's still early in the season, so...

Wyld Stallyns vs. Matt Ryan Loves Dogs
I actually don't think the loss of Brady will hurt Koehler that much this week, as Kurt Warner seems a pretty safe play. DeYoung will presumably replace Marques Colston with Eddie Royal, but with Brandon Marshall coming back I don't see him nearly repeating last week's performance.
Matt Ryan by 5
Ooslay Oopypay vs. Burke City Giants
A showdown between last week's big dogs (Parker and Turner) seems relatively evenly-matched, but Papkin's defensive matchups look better. Much as I'd detest to see him go 2-0,
Oopypay by 6
Last week: 4-2
Overall: 4-2

Sovic,
Just took a look at your roster; I don't think I've ever seen such a collection of fantasy has-beens and never-will-bes assembled on one team. I realize AJ's game got pushed back but did you seriously start Hank Baskett this week at WR? You're a great commish, the Pete Rozell of this league, but man you're in for (another) long year on the field.
what is the deal with Seattle's defensive touchdown yesterday.. i need to come up with a ruling for another league?
papkin:
your message is the first i've heard, but i just surveyed the yahoo commissioner message boards and man are people fired up about it. as far as i can tell, it seems like it ought to be a defensive td for seattle. supposedly yahoo gets scoring corrections from the nfl on weds night, and processes them thursday morning. if they are still not considering it a defensive touchdown after that, but it is listed on nfl.com as a defensive touchdown (as it currently is), i would change it. it doesn't affect the outcome of our league, so not such a big deal, but i might manually change it anyway since some of our tiebreakers and waiver wire order is dependent on total points scored.
Not sure in the non-PLUS league you can manually edit points. What a disadvantage that is btw, not having a PLUS league. The Sun-Tues waivers thing is huge. It should be mandatory that all leagues are PLUS leagues, esp since the price includes Stattracker...
Thanks for the response...
recaps coming soon?
