Week 2: Match-ups

Week 2 is upon us and is set to start in about 35 minutes as I write this column.

For some reason the NFL likes to start the week with a Thursday night game, which starts around 10:30am Friday in our neck of the woods. Then most games are played Sunday afternoon/evening/night, between 1am and 1pm Monday. The round finished up with a Monday night game, about 10:30AM Tuesday.

So the fantasy schedule runs from Friday morning through Tuesday lunch-time.

This weeks match-ups - with the projections (as I write) in brackets:

Endless's QB

Doof (138) v Endless(95):

Both teams looking to counter a Week 1 loss. Both teams have moved heavily in free agency this week to correct draft mistakes.
In possibly distracting news for Endless, The Age ran an article on her starting Quarterback, kind of mean I think.

 Farnsworths (108) v Illuminators (143):

Illuminator's started with a poor win over the even worse Doof's. But a win is a win. The Farnsworth's, well, we all know their Week 1 story. Both teams have been active in boosting their playing stocks.

Breesus (106) v US Forces (126):

US Forces started with a nice win and will look to consolidate against Breesus. Despite a strong line-up on paper the projections for Breesus are slim, with the RB2 and WR2 and Flex all posting poor projections.

Zim (131) v Wooli (99):

Zim got off to a flyer by posting the highest score in Week 1, and Wooli was not far behind. If Wooli can fill all their playing spots the projection will increase, but probably not enough to out-project Zim. Zim will be hoping her QB Tom Brady has some starting wide receivers this week, and will most likely be targeting Julian Edelman a fair bit. Coincidentally, Edelman was picked up by Doof this week.

Maidens (106) v Agent P (122):

Next to Zim, Agent P has probably the strongest starting line-up coming from the draft. With no changes this week Agent P will take his Week 1 line-up straight into Week 2. The Maidens did not have a strong Week 1, positing a L in the Win-Loss column, but certainly have the players in the list to post a big score.
