Week 1.5

Week 1 Recap.

Week 1 is in the books! It came and went before you could say "it's fantasy football time" and left us only wanting more. The 2015 fantasy football season is officially begun. Dez Bryant, Andre Ellington, DeSean Jackson, Julius Thomas, CJ Anderson and TY Hilton headlined a long list of players who suffered a substantial injury in Week 1.



If I can give you any advice it'll be this: don't panic. It's Week 1. Wait about ten more days before you start to freak out. A guy at work was already looking to shop Adrian Peterson because he doesn't think he was worth the #1 overall pick. Don't be this guy. Don't be Skinny Mike Tomlin.

Upsets Galore.

Week 1 saw 4 upsets according to the Coaches Poll. Here they are in no particular order:

-- #9 Berry Me a Chief beat #3 Angry Wookies 129-103

-- #8 Team Awbrey beat #7 Not the Cowboys 109-78

-- #6 Team Lee beat #1 CHIEFS NATION 112-109

-- #5 Chiefs Kingdom beat #2 Corn on the Cobb 112-65

The best game of the week was decided by Colin Kaepernick's 10-point performance in the late game on Monday night. Team Lee squeaked past CHIEFS NATION and stayed perfect through one week.

Honorable mention goes to Sam Bradford's final interception that opened the door for Team Awbrey to steal a win on the back of Carlos Hyde.

The Poll. 

Here is the second edition of the Metros League Coaches Poll:


Several changes in the coaches poll this week! Team Lee jumps from a previous ranking of 6th to take the top spot. CHIEFS NATION falls to 5th despite winning their opening game, and Berry Me a Chief rises 5 spots to occupy a spot in the top half of the rankings.

Looking Ahead. 

There are two key matchups coming up in Week 2!

- #1 Team Lee visits #6 Team Awbrey in the battle of "Team Lastname." Team Lee is predicted to win this one easily but as we saw last week with Team Awbrey, anything can happen. Watch for Ben Roethlisberger to be a deciding factor in this game.

- #4 Berry Me a Chief hosts #3 Gotta Catch Jamaal as both teams leap forward in the rankings and look to be dead even in the points predictions. Payton Manning's performance on Thursday night will be pivotal in this matchup.

Good luck. God bless. Go Chiefs.
