Fantasy Football 2009

Well, I figured it's about time for a new blog post and since fantasy has started back, might as well start with that. Time to post MVPs for weeks 1 and 2.

Week 1 is always a tough week. Its the first game of the season, new team, new players, new competition, and you don't know what to expect. So the fact that we won I feel like the whole team deserves a recognition. I had alot of breakout stars and some, not so good starts, but overall, the team seems to be pretty solid. We'll work it out! However, since I have to award an MVP, week 1 will go to my defense, the Eagles DEF. Thanks to their efforts against the Panthers (and Jake Delhomme's cluelessness), they racked up 5 sacks, 5 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries, and 2 TDs while allowing only 10 scoring points for the Panthers. This earned them 37 fantasy points and my week 1 MVP award!

Week 2 was not so good for me. We lost! And that's not something that occurs alot. But like I said, new team, new season, expanded league, so new competition. I still want to award an MVP though. B/c one player put it down for us Monday night and tried to help us come back from a 25pt deficit after Sundays games. He earned 21.20 fantasy points with his 24 rushing attempts for 136 yards and 2 TDs bringing us within 3 pts of our opponent. So week 2 MVP goes to Miami running back and one of my fave running backs Ronnie Brown!

So, the fantasy team is 1-1... for now!
