Well that wasn’t too much fun. Week 1, you let me down. Don’t even get me started on what happened outside of fantasy football. It was bad. But this is the fantasy rant so let’s set our focus. My week started with the first game of the season which was on Thursday. Saints vs Vikings. I had Drew Brees and the Saints defense going. The Saints D held up better than I anticipated vs the should be high powered Vikings offense and Drew Brees held up exactly how I expected vs that Vikings D. But you always expect more than 18.58 points from your stud, #1 pick, #5 overall, QB so that’s a little disappointing. Then Sunday comes. It was slow. Pretty much no action until the end of the first series of games. Cedric Benson salvaged his bad day with a late TD and Mendenhall completely saved my day with a sweet, sweet 50 yard TD run in OT. That was enough to make me smile a little. Jonathan Stewart… wtf. I know he’s ailing but that day was a scratch even if he was 100%. There was no doing in that game with Matt Moore at his worst. Man, did he look bad. Not even DeAngelo could get anything going. 2.2 points from my W/R. I only benched 7 points though so it’s not THAT bad. In the late games it was all receivers. Both receivers, Jennings and Maclin, found the end zone luckily. Brent Celek found nothing. Barely got any looks. Kolb was piss poor until he got hurt and Vick loves Jason Avant. I’m still lucky that Maclin got a TD in that fiasco. Joe Flacco went last night but it was against the Jets D so I was expecting very little. I got very little. What sucks is that I should have had more. He had plenty of opportunities and just played poorly. Perhaps him getting completely JACKED UP on the first play of the game may have had a little to do with it. My kickers had some pretty nice days to wrap the weekend up and all in all it wasn’t too, too bad. 120 points in the end which is only 5 points short of  good week, and I find myself in 3rd place. No reason to get worried yet. 16 weeks to go and a lot of football to play. But man I miss Chris Johnson. He’s a beast. It was torture watching him go off on Sunday and not having him in my lineup. Torture.

What I’m watching: Man V Food – Portland (Maine)
