As we kicked off the 2nd half of our inaugural season of The League!, the bye weeks, and some injuries, have continued to keep team owners scrambling through the waiver wire. With top tier teams trying to maintain their competitive edge, the lower tier teams are trying to gain any edge possible. This week featured the continuance of a streak, a new team name & attitude, a new League Poll, and a new tutorial on TheELSIE.com. So Let’s Get To It!!!
This week’s League Poll ask should we add a monetary prize to next seasons championship title? Ofcourse in doing this, we would have to add a season fee to all team owners to create such a pot. To vote, click here. To access the tutorial on Fantasy Alerts, click here.
This weeks fantasy champ, Chris “CJ2K” Johnson, tallied 195 Rush Yds & 2 TD’s, plus added 3 Rec yds (32.80). Unfortunately for the BUCKNASTYS BOYS (2-5), CJ2K was their only offense as #5 Pick 6’n (5-2) found a way to overcome CJ2K’s huge day. With strong performances from Pick 6’n Ryan Fitzpatrick (18.30), Jeremy Kerley (14.40) and Brandon Marshall (14.10).
The #3 St. Pete ConVICKS (6-1), lead by Randall Cobb (26.60), were able to hold off the NC Bad Boys (2-5) in a close game for their 5th straight win. The NC Bad Boys Vincent Jackson (28.60) and RG3 (23.22) both turned out strong performances but the St. Pete ConVICKS’ Randall Cobb, Miles Austin (13.70) and LB-Jerod Mayo (13.50) were just too much.
