Cool Start Bro! Bros and Busts Week 2

“Hindsight is 20/20”

I had a guy tell me that one time, that “Hindsight is 20/20”, but I didn’t get what he meant so I just walked away, and to this day I’m still unsure of what it actually means. Does it have something to do with that show 20/20? Does have something to do with a dog’s hind legs, and watching that show 20/20? Was he complimenting me on my vision, and my dog’s legs, while at the same time inviting me over to watch that show 20/20? Who knows? What I do know is that spending my valuable seconds thinking about a stupid phrase that one cashier at Arby’s said to me 20 years ago when he forgot to put cheese on my sandwich, is just plain dumb, and the same rule applies to fantasy owners. We can’t spend our time from Tuesday to Saturday worrying over the picks we made last week, or how we chose to start LeGarrette Blount and sit Ray Rice. We must instead focus on the future; finding ways in which we can improve our odds to get a W. So in order to help you all achieve this, I’ve put together another list of Bros and Busts for week two.

Before we do this however, lets linger on the past a little longer (even though I just said not to) and check out how we did with last weeks picks.

I have to say, I didn't do to bad for Week 1.

Bros	Their Points	Top 20 Cut Off	Their Rank	How We Did?
Wes Welker	28	12	2nd	Good +16
Reggie Wayne	16	12	t-5th	Good +4
Reggie Bush	14	10	11th	Good +4
Jahvid Best	11	10	t-15th	Eh +1
LeGarrette Blount	1	10	way down there	Terrible -9

Busts	Their Points	Top 20 Cut Off	Their Rank	How We Did?
Roddy White	6	12	45th	Good +6
Starks/Grant	11 and 4	10	t-15th and 38th	Good +5
Felix Jones	10	10	21st	Eh -0-
Steven Jackson	11	10	t-15th	Eh -1
Ray Rice	26	10	1st	Terrible -16

Good = >3 points better, or worse, then the top 20 cut off, signifying a solid start/sit

Eh = Within 2 points of a difference, better or worse, from top 20 cut off, decent pick
Terrible = >3 points better, or worse, then the top 20 cut of, signifying a terrible start/sit

Now for this weeks picks


Bros:
1. Matt Ryan: The last time the Falcons failed to score more than the 12 points they scored against the Bears last week, was opening day last year. What do they do the following week? Put up 41 points against the Cardinals with Ryan thowing for 225 yards, 3 tds, and no ints. Top 5 QB this week.
2. Mike Vick: He's back in the ATL. In a dome. Playing on the fastest offense money can buy....If he's not the highest scoring QB this week than I quit. (not really, but maybe)
3. Scott Chandler: Who was the highest scoring TE last week? Him. Who does he play this week? Oakland. He's a solid start.
4. Mario Manningham: So i googled "relevant players for the Giants", and what came up was the following: Plaxico Buress, Hakeem Nicks, Eli Manning, Becky O'Shea, and Mario Manningham. One doesn't play for the Giants, one wont play Monday night, and one is a girl. That just leaves O'Shea and Manningham....I choose Manningham.
5. Fred Jackson: If he scores a TD last week he becomes a top 10 RB. Did I mention he's playing Oakland, one of the 9 teams last year that gave up an average of 1 or more TD's a game to opposing RB's. Expect a 92 yard 2 TD game out of Jackson.


Busts:
1. Chris Johnson: I know. I know....It's Chris Johnson. But I dont think last week was a fluke, and I dont think the Ravens dominance was either. Im here to make bold predictions, so I'm making one. Johnson scores under 5 points this week.
2. Marshawn Lynch: Not as big of a prediction as my Chris Johnson one, but i dont care, I need to get something right this week, and this is it. He's playing Pittsburg who, coming of a loss like last weeks, wont allow a single point for the Seahawks. Steelers- 35 Seahawks- 0
3. Cedric Benson: He's still a terrible RB, I dont care what he did last week. He also hates high altitudes, (told me this a long time back) and they're playing Denver this week. A definite sit.
4. Tom Brady: "What! Are you serious? Did you even watch the game Monday Night?" Well I did, and I saw him destroy the Dolphins, but San Diego isn't the Dolphins. San Diego is the best pass D in the league. I'm not saying to sit Brady, I just dont see him breaking the top 10 this week.
5. Wes Welker: Chad always gets his way!....ohh and everything I said above about Tom, that too.


Well there you have it. May the fantasy clouds rain down on your opponents parade this week.
