Weekly Roundup 16.2

Week 2 Recap

Week 2 is in the books! It was an OK week in most respects. I honestly didn't check my phone after 2 pm on Sunday because it was pointless. Shoutout to Jimmy Garapaoaplaoao getting hurt. As a result the New England Patriots have activated Julian Edelman as their backup QB. I hope we get to see him in action!

Stud of the Week

This week's stud award goes to Cam Newton putting up 29 big ones for Chiefs Kingdom. Good job Cam. Dab on 'em.

Dud of the Week

2 times in a row? You betcha. Coby Fleener of the New Orleans Saints scores 2 points total to win this award in convincing fashion! You have a bright future ahead of you Coby. Your professional haircut and winning smile are going to take you places in this world.

Most Points

This week Captain Checkdown takes home this award with 115 points in a come-from-behind win on Monday night.

Fewest Points

We are not talking about this right now. 

Checking in on my Crazy Predictions from Week 1

The New York Giants haven't lost yet.

Team Lee hasn't lost yet.

Week 3 Matchup that Intrigues Me the Most

I am looking forward to Chiefs Kingdom and CHIEFS NATION squaring off. Both teams are 1-1 and have the potential to explode for huge point totals. Keep your eye on this scoreboard as the week progresses. 

Good Luck, God Bless, Go Chiefs! 

Weekly Roundup 16.1

Week 1 Recap

Week 1 was full of ups and downs. I'm sure some of you are happy about Drew Brees scoring 30 fantasy points. I'm sure some of you are sad about RGIII being injured but I can and will say "I told you so." Keenan Allen becomes 2016's Jordy Nelson. I doubt any of us here are sad about that.

Highest Scoring Player Award

This week's HSPA goes to Corn on the Cobb and the 35 points posted by Andrew Luck. As a Chiefs fan I am not looking forward to October 30th.

Lowest Scoring Player Award

This week's LSPA goes to CHIEFS NATION as Coby Fleener of the New Orleans Saints put up a giant 0.

Highest Point Total

The defending champions put up 132 points to take home this week's HPT award.

Lowest Point Total

Berry Me A Chief scored a lowly 72 in Week 1. Adrian Peterson will bounce back, don't you worry.

Best Game of Week 1

This award goes to the matchup between CHIEFS NATION and Corn on the Cobb. Going into Monday night NATION was down by double digits but triumphed after strong performances from Carlos Hyde and Ben Roethlisberger.

Crazy Predictions I have No Business Making 

1. The New York Giants will win the NFC Championship

Call me crazy but watching the highlights of their game this past week made me do a double take. The offensive unit has real camaraderie and team spirit that you don't see in other teams. Eli has more targets to throw to than just OBJ. I think their weakest offensive component is the run game and yet their RB1 is Rashad Jennings. Barring major injury the New York Giants are my early favorite to win the NFC.

2. Team Lee will go undefeated until Week 5. 

You heard me. I think Team Lee's first loss this season won't come until mid-October. His weakest position is TE and that's everybody's weakest link right now.

Week 2 Matchup that Intrigues Me the Most

I'm interested to see who wins between Corn on the Cobb and 4th and 9ers. Two 0-1 teams. On a random side note, the undefeated teams play each other this week and the defeated teams play each other this week. Only 2 undefeated teams will remain after Monday. Brace yourselves.

Good luck, God bless, Go Chiefs! 

The Season Starts Today

You heard me. The NFL season starts today! Everybody dance!

In preparation for the season I decided to rank the team names that inhabit Metros League. Prepare to be roasted. 

1. Not the Cowboys @bplumerpl@yahoo

Let me say this has been my favorite team name of all time for 4 years running. This team name has it all:

         

A. A terrible joke         

B. A reference to a real NFL team

C. A partial email address

Shoutout to Brent for having the best team name of all time. Bonus points for using an ESPN account under your wife's name. Huge props to you Brent. That takes stones. 

2. Berry Me a Chief 

A+ team name. Homage to the hometown team while incorporating a pun and a popular cliché AND paying respect to a great player. If it weren’t for Brent’s masterpiece Noah would have the #1 spot. 

3. San Francisco 4th and 9ers 

Like, what even is this? You took an NFL team name and put “th and” in between the last word? What’s next? The Baltimore Rath and Vens? The Green Bay Path and Ckers? Give me a break Harrison.

4. Corn On the Cobb

This is the 15^th most popular team name in the first result if you google “funny fantasy football team names” so we all know where Terry got his inspiration.  

5. No Herm no Foul

Referencing Herm Edwards in a league full of Chiefs fans? It’s a bold move Marcus, let’s see how it plays.

6. CHIEFS NATION

I don’t dislike this team name but I can’t find a way to like it either. That’s the only reason Paris comes in at #6.

7. Angry Wookiees

What kind of nerd uses Star Wars references in his fantasy football team name?

8. Team Lee

The reigning champion didn’t even change his team name after logging in to his account for the first time. Swag like none other. We at the Metros League Front Office respect the stance but we also don’t like it. Change your name Jesse. 

That's all I've got for the season preview folks. As always: Good Luck, God Bless, Go Chiefs!
