Match-Up Build-Up Week 2

 

The Real McCoy vs La Flama Blanca

McCoy exploded in week 1 to the tune of 157 points, the most of the week. The bulk of which coming from Hill. Their strong performance has placed them at the top of the MFFL in the early going. The balance between WRs and RBs in their starting lineup is the best in the league currently. They will hope for better days from Fields, as they took him ahead of guys like Burrow, Tua, and Lawerence, but they won't push the panic button yet. Look for another strong showing in week 2. 

LFB won last week scoring only 98 points. More concerning than that, is the fact that their defense and kicker were their highest scorers, with 18 and 19 respectively. Better weeks are ahead. Burrow, Barkley, Mixon, and Higbee are all expected to play better. Still, they might be worried to some extent. They only have 3 WRs are their entire roster, and one of them is Cooper Kupp. Burrow and the RBs will have to carry the load, otherwise they will likely struggle against teams with elite WR play. 

Chicken Noodle Coop vs Imposing Monstrosity

Coop won last week by a single point. The victory was big, but they likely fear about the overall war. They went all in on Wilson this year, drafting him in the first round, and now Rodgers is gone. It is a devastating early blow, but there are still positives. The RBs look loaded, and Herbert put up a solid performance. Their season will come down to how well they can identify the right WR plays each week. 

Stros started out their quest for a re-peat in agonizing fashion. They scored a league low 65 points. That perhaps explains why they did not like receiving Yahoo's best draft award. Better days are ahead for Hurts, Higgins, and a healthy Kelce. They made a trade this week to boost their FLEX spot and RB depth. This team remains a contender even after they slow start. 

El Pollo Loco vs Rader Flashing TDs

Loco got TPDed last week. They scored 132 points in a losing effort. It is always painful scoring the 2nd most points in a week and losing. The script went as expected, as they were carried by their stars at WR and QB, and slowed down by their RBs. Their RB core remains a major concern, as does their TE spot if Pitts can't put it all together. They will hope to have another good game in week 2, the only difference being that it leads to a win. 

TDs scored the third lowest point total of week 1. They were let down by pretty much everyone on their roster. Sensing that the team needed a boost, they traded for Lamar Jackson this week. It's an exciting move, and one that could wake up the team heading into week 2. The loss of Dobbin's is brutal, but Mattison should be ok as their RB 2. Their RB depth took a major hit though. Better days are ahead for this team, perhaps starting this week. 

The Peaking Dynasty vs Unstopa-Bo

Not a single player on TPD's roster scored a touchdown last week. "Interesting strategy Cotton." They made trades this week obviously, after such a disaster week. TPD is having nightmares again. The season started just like last year. Buckle up. 

Bo lost by a single point in week 1. They scored a point total that could have beaten many teams in week 1. It is a tough way to start the year. They had points in bunches on their bench, so expect some changes to the starting lineup this week. They lack star power, but make up for it with depth. 

Njokus On You vs The Dingos Ate Your Babies

NJ scored the 2nd lowest total of the week. Allen, Moore, Gibson, and Okonkwo were all duds. This team needs Andrews to get healthy and Kamara to get not suspended. If their starters do not perform better, their bench will struggle to carry the extra weight. 

Dingos did it again in week 1. They scored a decent point total, but like last season, they benefited from a poor performance from their opponent. Still, there is a lot to be excited about when you look at the core of their team. One concern may be their RBs, if Bijan isn't the guy they thought they were drafting. but this team will change as they make moves. They are in a good position to start the year.
