Best Ball League - Monday Update (Week 2)

Article written by Gordo

Another weekend has passed in the world of football and my god has it been a bumpy ride.  Between the continuation of the Ray Rice ordeal with Radio hosts arguing whether or not the cover up is worse than the crime (it rarely is), now AP is going down for his reprehensible behavior, and even LeSean McCoy has put in some effort to soil his name with the fans in Philly by being an apathetic tipper.  This has also paved way for adding injury to insult with the slew of ankle and knee sprains.  Thank god the concussion bug wasn't going around this week...yet.

Well luckily for our league we can lose players and still make the best of it without any effort; almost Darwinian in nature.  I can already see a pretty solid shift in standings for this week versus last week which I've shared below.

1. Dan's Team - 179.0
1. LeSean McCoy RB, needs to beat 26.0 pts (in flex), 12.5 pts (in RB spot)
2. Trent Richardson RB, needs to beat 26.0 pts (in flex), 12.5 pts (in RB spot)
3. Adam Vinatieri PK, needs to beat 12.0 pts
2. Team Gordo - 171.5
1. T.Y. Hilton WR, needs to beat 11.5 pts (in flex), 13.5 pts (in WR spot)
2. Jordan Matthews WR, needs to beat 11.5 pts (in flex), 13.5 pts (in WR spot)
3. Stonecutters - 159.0
1. Nick Foles QB, needs to beat 17.0 pts
4. Colin2410 - 155.5
1. Riley Cooper WR, needs to beat 10.0 pts (in flex), 7.0 pts (in WR spot)
5. Team Juice - 150.0
1. Reggie Wayne WR, needs to beat 10.0 pts (in flex), 5.0 pts (in WR spot)
6. Sarcastaball - 127.0
1. Jeremy Maclin WR, needs to beat 10.5 pts (in flex), 6.5 pts (in WR spot)
7. Mike's Team - 126.5
1. Dwayne Allen TE, needs to beat 7.5 pts (in flex), 10.0 pts (in TE spot)
8. Itchy_Hungry - 117.0
1. Hakeem Nicks WR, needs to beat 4.5 pts (in flex), 8.5 pts (in WR spot)
9. Lefty - 114.5
1. Andrew Luck QB, needs to beat 17.0 pts
2. Darren Sproles RB, needs to beat 3.0 pts (in flex), 13.0 pts (in RB spot)
3. Zach Ertz TE, needs to beat 3.0 pts (in flex), 11.0 pts (in TE spot)
10. Jeff's Team - 111.5
1. Final Score

Dan's team and Team Gordo should be able to maintain through MNF.  Stonecutters could lose 3rd place to Colin2410 if Riley Cooper scores more than 11 pts, but I doubt Cooper can do this without Foles closing in on the 17 points he needs to beat to keep Stonecutters in 3rd.  Team Juice should improve in score but not likely in standings as Reggie Wayne will need 11 pts minimum to surpass Colin2410 if Cooper is held to under 7pts.  The last half of the pack just needs to pray for more points just to stay competitive.  Lefty could see an improvement in standings as high as 6th place for the week but any higher would require a miracle. Lefty is 35.5 pts behind 5th right now, which would require a total contribution of 66.5 pts from Luck, Sproles and Ertz.  Sarcastaball should be able to keep Mike's Team at bay with a .5 pt lead and Maclin yet to play and only needing to surpass 6.5 pts.  Jeff's team...I'm sorry buddy.  I'm going to start a pole to see if anyone wants to have one day of waivers to replace one player on your rosters so that we can keep everyone competitive.

Best of luck tonight!
