CATS CLAW OUT A VICTORY
Monkeys Spank Themselves.

Week 2 in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. We find out which team can score a lot of points and still not win a game, which team got out of jail with a win and which teams stand aloft of their division.

But before we award any accolades, it's time to award some accolades on the very people who bring you one of the finest season in fantasy football.

DONATE TO SUBSIM...AND NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

Let's go around the grounds on this weekends matches and find out where our best game of the week was and will be next week.

Our match of the day this week was the Guns of Hoculi hosting the slightly adjusted naming rights, Who Dat Nations Rises. The Gunners after a big week 1 win on the road come home for their opening stand against the Who Dat Nation. Winner potentially looking at sole ownership of the league lead. Gunners quarterback Aaron Rodger has an average day, but it was out on the wings where the receiving corps of O'Dell Beckam (WR) and Rob Gronkowsi (TE) did the damage, scoring 66 points, almost half of the entire team total. Beckham and Gronk (as he's known to his favorite sports writers) only combined for a total of two touchdowns, but had the receiving yards to give the Gunners enough lead. Julio Jones (WR) for the Nation had a matching day of yardage, but combined with the other two wide receivers of Jeremy Maclin and Jarvis Landy, just couldn't find the in zone to give the Nation enough points on the board. Gunners run out sizable winners 156 - 123

Across the pond in Wembley Stadium, the Helmand Nighthawks open their season against the colonists of the Australian Taipans. Emmanuel Sanders (WR) gave the Nighthawks an early lead when he jumped out and single handed scored 28 points, well above predictions, on Thursday night. On Sunday morning, the Nighthawks turned it on with the Dynamic Duo of Tom Brady and Julian Edelman combining for 73 points. The Taipans looked like they were going to return to Australia with nothing but Ashes, until their receivers finally showed up. Antonio Brown caught 9 receptions of 195 yards, 1 touchdown and a 2 point conversion. In any other league, 134 points might be winning score, but not in the Subsim League. In successive plays, the Taipans lost both Eddie Lacey (RB) and Jordan Cameron (TE) to not many points, and were never going to have enough venom to carry through. Nighthawks needed every point as the Taipans came back and made the score a little more respectable 171 - 148.

Week 2 and the thrillers have started, and the first of the Monday night rewrites. The Drunk Monkeys had their home stand opener, and upon arrival at the game, there was controversy right from the start. Wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey had been included in the run on team for the Monkeys, despite having been scratched on Friday. Playing one man down for the entire weekend left the Monkeys vulnerable to the defending champions, the Black Cats. Cats came through on the strength of Steve Smith (WR) to post a total of 128 points. Monkeys hung in there through Sunday night and arrived at Monday night trailing by 1.92 points. Still to play was Adam Vinatieri, the only kicker to have ever kicked a field goal at Candlestick Park from the Oakland Colosseum. Vinitieri lined up for this first kick of the night, a gift 2 points and hit the upright. A lack of scoring opportunities persisted for Vinitieri, leaving the Monkeys hanging by fractions of point. Black Cats get one on the back of a critical error, 128.28 - 126.70.

Next week's match of the day, we go on one of the longest away games of the year as we travel to see the Australian Taipans begin their season opening home stand with the Who Dat Nation. These two teams met in week 1, and I don't know who made the schedule but they are back again. The Taipans have played two games where record scores have been made against them, one by the Nation. The Nation, having suffered a loss at the hand of divisional rival the Gunners, seek to get back on equal footing with the league leaders at the hands of the Taipans.

So the league standings at the end of week 2 look like this. The two teams at the top of the divisions are the Guns of Hochuli and the Helmand Nighthawks. Two more teams are at .500% while at the bottom of the ladder, both the Taipans and the Drunk Monkeys are still looking for their first win.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

This is a passing league, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. We have only to look at this weeks winner to substantiate that. For the effort of 466 yards and 3 touchdowns, for a total of 39.24 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Tom Brady of the Helmand Nighthawks, the Week Two MVT.
