Every owner this week as the injuries mounted up:
Saquon. Run CMC. Courtland Sutton. Davante Adams. Raheem Mostert (and basically anyone good on the 49ers).
It's going to be a fun week on waivers. And by fun, I mean, spending lots of money for players who won't do anything (see: Boobies (heh) last week).
Let's do some recaps, shall we?
Team Provost trounces Death Valley Driver, 157-113.5
A big part of the total for Team Provost, as he earns his first Tidwell award of the season, is Aaron Jones. The 44-spot Jones put up is the highest single player total for the young season. He certainly isn't going to skip over big games by Stefon Diggs and Nick Chubb. DVD was fine, but got bit by the Davante Adams injury. Josh Allen though.
Pedro Pickles routs Iron Ryan, 149-99
Alvin Kamara and Patrick Mahomes. With two top players like that, Pickles is in a good spot. And when he gets Kenny Golladay back? Look out. Julian Edelman seems to be continuing to be a favorite target of a Patriots QB, thus he is also fantasy relevant. I-Ry's major problem was the George Kittle injury last week. He had to start Jimmy Graham, who hasn't been good in, what, 5 years?
Utah Falco smacks Release Dix On Younghoe Boobies, 123.5-107
Utah Falco has NEVER started a season 2-0 before, but it could be a tough road to 3-0, thanks to the CMC injury. No bueno. Good news for Falco, CMC was around long enough to score two TDs. It was bad news for Boobies (heh) this week; he spent a total of $35 FAAB dollars on Sammy Watkins and Nyheim Hines who combined for a total of 2 points this week. And Watkins went down with an injury. Woof.
Hamilton Rod and Gun softens Hardcore Sacks, 118.5-95
HRG's strategy of Cowboys and Chiefs seems to be working: he's scoring a lot of points. So is Dak, who put nearly 40. He's not gonna get 3 rushing TDs every week but he'll take them this week. Hardcore now has to deal with being 0-2 AND losing the #1 pick in our draft, Saquon Barkley. And his best backup RB in Cam Akers is also injured.
Hooked on a Thielen escapes against Jeff Fisher Effect, 111.5-102
This matchup was separated by a half-point, with each team having a single player going on Monday Night. And then the Saints threw the ball to Emmanuel Sanders 3 times, yielding 1 catch, and JFE was done. The fact he even really had a shot was thanks to Russell Wilson and his 31 points. HOAT did just enough to win, thanks in part to Calvin Ridley's big day.
Shake Your MoneyMaker
Team Provost is this week's Tidwell winner, his first of the year, and fifth since the award was instituted in 2017.
