Welcome Back League Familia, as we get ready to spark up Week 3 of the NFL Fantasy Season. Have any of  those 1st, 2nd or 3rd round draft picks disappointed your team so far? How are those late round gems working out for your squad?? Hopefully you’ve been able to GM your fantasy squad to account for those over and (might I stress) UNDER ACHIEVERS so far in the 1st two weeks of the season. If not, I’m sure there is some top talent still available through the Waiver Wire or Free Agency.

This weeks Fantasy Gem belongs to Aaron Rodgers, who passed for 346 Yds & 3TD’s, also rushing for 28 Yds and scoring a 2-Point conversion for a total of 37.44 fantasy points. And how did those teams fair last week who had this weeks Fantasy Gem you ask? Both Georgia Boy & Mr Rodgers Neighborhood both won while F-U-Pay-Me lost. Ouch!

On a more serious note, and personally something I hate doing. Peyton’s Girl has been Suspended Indefinitely for not managing their roster actively. I will be managing her team for the foreseeable future until other arrangements have been made. I hate to have to replace anybody in this league, but in return for playing in The League!, all we ask is for you to manage your team actively and to put out the best fantasy team you are capable of doing. Me and my co-commissioners put in way too much of our own time (I work 8am-8pm and then freelance in building websites & phone apps) to make this a competitive league for all members. I’ve known Samantha for years and of course there are no hard feelings in this suspension, so this action does way heavy on me, but as I’ve stated many times before…, THIS IS OUR LEAGUE!

“So Let’s Get To It!!!”
