Movers & Shakers QFL2 Week 2

#1  Membrillos- (2-0)  Brees, AP, Wayne, Vikes Def and 7 guys on rookie contracts.  Nik took the skin for week 2 and has the roster makeup of someone who will be at the top for a long while.

#2 Sqyline Qonies – (2-0)  Rotting on the fantasy bench last year behind the now retired Kurt Warner, Jay Cutler’s risen to the level of elite QB with Mike Martz waving his magic coordinating wand.  Combined with the meteoric rise of Arian Foster, Qonies have gone from competitive to amongst the league favorites.

#3 Polaq (1-1) Posting 2 weeks north of 80 points has Ed’s team leading the league in scoring.  Carson Palmer’s dynamic duo may return him to fantasy Pro-Bowl status and Matt Forte is playing the role of Marshall Faulk in the Mike Martz reinvention of the Bears offense.  Ed has $6 of cap room and still has Donnie Avery and Antonio Bryant on his active roster……genius or just lucky so far?

4) Deep Fried Turduckins (1-1)  Just over 1 point away from being 2-0, the defending Super Quince Champion is depending mightily upon the Peyton Manning to Dallas Clark connection.  Super stud Andre Johnson is another line up regular but Will has a lot of RB’s who split time. Perhaps an injury or two can benefit him and Demaryius Thomas waits in the wings.

5) Quahogs (1-1)  Brian has a solid line up headlined by Philip Rivers but otherwise lacks a top 10 RB or receiver.  Packers defense looks to be a regular scoring machine but bye weeks may make this thinly stocked bench a weakness to be exploited.

6) Sooms Squad (1-1)  Top talent at RB with both CJ and Pierre Thomas (backed up by Felix, Beanie and Jerome Harrison) AND WR Greg Jennings…..Reuven can get away with relying on McNabb, Orton and Matthew Stafford.  Will Steve Smith continue to be valuable with Claussen and Moore handing the ball off all day? With Vincent Jackson and BOTH Mike Williams on his bench biding their time it may not matter.  Look for Sooms near the top at years end.

7) Pigskin Pimps (1-1)  Dan has Tom Brady.  Unfortunately his receivers must have been in the back of that minivan. Will Hightower and Mendenhall be enough help to get 65+ every week?  No.  Will Pimps be an easy target every week? No.

8) Mad Bombers (1-1)  John traded Witten and his 1st round rookie draft pick in 2011 for Larry Fitzgerald to replace the crushing loss of Ryan Grant.  While his RB’s suck John picked up Michael Vick for a spot start against Detroit…..or so he thought.  A $6 bid on Mark Clayton seemed high but cutting Grant gave him some freedom.  John’s taking lemons……this may not turn out too bad.

9) Bing Dynasty (0-2) We’re ranking a winless Josh ahead of 2 teams that are 1-1 because any given week he can bench 2 players any other team would want to have starting and be making the sensible decision.  Facing Qonies in week 3  doesn’t make things easier but Rodgers, MJD, Rice, Benson, Welker, Colston, Gates, Nicks…….seriously, 0-2 near the bottom in scoring? It can’t last.

10) Fantasy Enemy (1-1) Gore, McFadden and Turner need only a little help to be winners in a QFL lineup.  Joe Flacco better hope teams don’t copy the Bengals defensive scheme or Tarek won’t get that help.  Receiving corps is well below average with no stand outs to date.  Tarek should be happy to face Turds in week 7 on the Colts bye week.

11)  Catch42 (1-1) Brandon has the lowest point total through week 2.  But we all believe he’s learned his lesson and won’t bench Jahvid Best anymore.  At all.  Ever. With Romo and Ahmad Bradshaw sure to wake up and vets like Ocho, Bowe, Santonio Holmes and Addai this doesn’t really look like a bottom dweller over the long haul.

12) NOJOQ (0-2) It’s always fun to get on the new guy.  Rob definitely doesn’t have the worst roster in fact it’s pretty deep.  Roddy White, Calvin Johnson, & Vernon Davis will combine with top rookies Ryan Matthews, Dez Bryant and Dexter McCluster  to make this team high scoring by midseason.  Rob remains active in trades and in FA.  Perhaps he started off 0-2 on principle alone for trading away Arian Foster preseason.
