Gridiron Challenge Week 2


After a disappointing Week 1, Check out how Mark and Matt lined up their teams for Week 2.  Make sure you check out the Top 200 Weekly Projections before setting your lineup this week.

Team FFPrep Mark

QB: Aaron Rodgers ($6.70) @ Car

Aaron Rodgers put up 24 points last week against the Saints.  The panthers defense isn’t quite as good as the Saints.

QB: Matthew Stafford ($5.90 locked, $6.20 Market) vs. KC

Last week the Bills put up 41 points on the Chiefs.  I am willing to put my money on Stafford to Calvin Johnson

RB: Adrian Peterson ($6.10) vs. TB

I took a chance at the other RB position so I figured I would have to start a stud here and AP is the ONLY RB I trust this year.

RB: Tim Hightower ($4.90) vs. Ari

The Redskins gave Hightower the ball early and often in their win over the Giants so I am starting him against the Cardinals…

WR: Andre Johnson ($5.50 locked, $5.80 market) @ Mia

Even though Andre will face the self proclaimed best CB tandem in Miami this week, I feel like I have good value here against a defense that gave up 517 yards to Tom Brady last week.

WR: Calvin Johnson ($5.80) vs. KC

Last week Calvin put up 20 points against Talib.  This week he faces a much easier match up with an Eric Berry – less Chiefs.  My week is really riding on this match up.

TE: Antonio Gates ($4.90) @ NE

The Patriots gave up 82 yards to Anthony Fasano.  This week they will give up at least that and a touchdown to Gates.

K: Stephen Gostkowski ($6.70) vs. SD

D/ST: Steelers ($6.70) vs. Sea

Total: $48.80 / $50.00

 

Team MattDotRich

QB: Tom Brady ($6.80) vs. San Diego

Shoot.

QB: Phillip Rivers ($6.30 locked, $6.40 market) @ New England

Out.

RB: Michael Turner ($5.80 locked, $6.10 market) vs. Philly

So last week I told you I really liked Michael Turner a lot, and then he ran for 100 yards – though a lot of that came on a 53 yard run – and had 40 yards receiving . So, you know, brag.

On top of that Philly’s defense let up 91 yards rushing and 49 yards receiving out of Carnell “I’m Still Standing”Williams after surrendering a 56 yard touchdown to Steven Jackson. Prompting this tweet:

@djjazzyjeff215The Magnificent…: Dear Eagles Defense…pls stop the run…thank you Jeff

RB: Adrian Peterson ($5.90 locked, $6.00 market) vs. Tampa Bay

Yo, boring, right?

WR: Andre Johnson ($5.80) @ Mia

You saw what Andre Johnson did the Colts d last week, right?

Then you saw what Tom Brady did the Miami secondary, right?

WR: Calvin Johnson ($5.40 locked, $5.80 market) vs. Kansas City

Calvin Johnson still healthy: Check

Matthew Stafford still healthy: Check

TE: Antonio Gates ($4.90) v@ New England

As stated above, this Pats-Chargers game is going to be an absolute shootout. With the Pats converting to a 4-3 approach I think it’ll probably give Gates will be single covered a lot.

K: Shaun Shishman ($3.80) vs. Seattle

Kickers are funny because they’re not as big as other NFL players.

D: Baltimore Ravens ($5.20) @ Tennesee

Believe it or not, I never really believed in the Matt Hasselback Tennessee Titans era. His last interception of week 1 showed what he’s got left: About 15 yards to short, and 30 yards away from the sideline (where the ball was intended). Oh and “Ed Reed is Ed Reeid” – Tom Brady

Total: $50.00 / $50.00
