Fantasy Madness: Week 3 Recap and Week 4 Preview

David Powis

Fantasy Week 3 of the NFL season has come to a close as the landscape of the league is beginning to take shape. Allow me to start with the first game of the week, where the Giants finally finished a game (barely) dropping Washington to 1-2. The Redskins’ vaunted rushing attack gathered a measly 84 total yards against a banged up Giants defense. Eli looked good, and Odell Beckham appears to be long passed his rough preseason and Week 1. Now to the Sunday games: The Eagles also got win #1, and looked pretty good doing it. Bradford played safe, and Ryan Matthews reminded Eagles fans what it’s like to have a running back gain positive yards. By the way, does Darren Sproles age? The Jets disappointed, as the self-proclaimed best receiver in the NFL made a…um…questionable?...decision.

Pittsburgh lost Big Ben to injury for at least 4 weeks, probably more, which can only mean one thing...IT’S VICK TIME. Speaking of injuries, Dallas blew an early 14-point lead against Atlanta as Big D looks to learn life without Romo or Dez. The Seattle defense certainly appreciated the return of Kam Chancellor, as they dominated an awful Bears offense to the point where CHI punter, Pat O’Donnell, sprained his knee after punting on every one of their 10 possessions.

So, as we look back on the week that was, who impressed, and who fell flat? And what can you do to improve come week 4?

Fantasy Madness: Week 1 Recap and Week 2 Preview

Rob Dunning

The roller coaster that was Week One of fantasy football came to a close on Monday night. Over the course of Sunday afternoon and Monday evening, tons of headlines came about regarding several teams. To start, the matchup between the first two picks of the 2015 draft certainly caught a lot of people’s attention. Marcus Mariota looked like a world-beater in his first game in the NFL, greeting the Buccaneers defense with a big hello, while Winston’s first pass, and the game in general, didn’t go according to plan. Out in Denver, we saw the Ravens and Broncos competing to see who had the better defense, because both offenses decided not to show up. This ultimately leads to the question, is the Peyton Manning reign dwindling in Denver? Let us know what you think!

In other news, Aaron Rodgers proved that he can make any receiver look great *cough cough* James Jones, and the Raiders…well…they still look awful. Speaking of awful, the Giants decision to not run the clock down on the goal line against the Cowboys ultimately bit them in the rear end. This begs the question, who is to blame for the sequence of plays? Eli? Coach Coughlin? Bob McAdoo? Again, let us know! Speaking of “rear end”, the Eagles certainly looked like they could have used Mark Sanchez on Monday Night as Sam Bradford was inconsistent in his debut, and Julio Jones was busy torching their secondary. With the hotbed that is Philadelphia sports and media, Chip Kelly came under fire, and it raised the discussion of the Eagles being overrated. Agree/disagree? You know what comes after that.

The good news is that it is only Week 1, and there is plenty of football left to be played for every team. However, it is time to look back on some fantasy booms, busts, and injuries as well as expectations for Week Two in the world of Fantasy Football.
