THRILLER IN PEARLAND
...not so in Oregon.

Week Two in the Subsim Fantasy Football League...and we have our second rewrite of the year. And it came on our match the day, and she was a thriller.

We'll give all the fake football news you can handle, , right after this important message.



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


Opening Day in the Carolina's as the Black Cats were hosting the Helmand Nighthawks. Both team coming off wins in week with a potential for sole leadership of the league. Nighthawks played their exceptionally consistent game with Debo Samuel (WR) leading the team with 24 points. Wasn't helped by the rest of the receiving corp and this left the way open for The Cats to capitalize. Even with AJ Brown (WR) out, the due of duo of Devonte Adams (WR) and Nico Collins (WR) put up over 65 points. With Samuel (WR) going down late in the game (now confirmed out for four weeks) Coach FYC was able to roll his team to an equal share of the league lead. Final score in Carolina, The Black Cats defeat the Helmand Nighthawks 131 - 117.


It was a long trip to Twickenham for the Australian Taipans and frankly, they should have stayed home. Even with Christina McCaffrey (RB) being declared out for four weeks, the Taipans receiving copy didn't put up a single touchdown or 100 yards. Marvin Harrison Junior (WR) for the Banter put up more points than the entire Taipans wide receivers. Taipans only highlight was Isiah Pacheco (RB) who promptly broke his leg prior to reaching 100 yards. This one wasn't even close as the Taipans slip further into the toilet bowl by yielding an easy win - and they should consider themselves lucky the Banter didn't play Alvin Kamara (RB) who sat on the bench for 50 points. Banter Brigade bring the cheer defeating the Taipans 130 - 115.


Wrestling for the bottom of the toilet bowl the Who Dat Nation were hosting the Boss team in Oregon. While both teams lost in week one, they did so with reasonable scoring and plenty of touchdowns. Not as impressive as last week, both teams left one (1) player off the field so this was going to come down to one other player. For the Bosses, it was James Cook (RB) - not the explorer, who had a total of three 93) touchdowns. The Boss Team get a win on the road in Oregon defeating Coach Fuel For Blood 128 - 112.

Our match of the day was a beauty with the score alternating back and forth. The expansion team of Wasted Potential has their first home game of the year as the Drunk Monkeys came to town. The Monkeys looked super impressive last week, despite not having a QB, and this week they arrived without another QB. Not to be concerned, Coach Casey being with a new team started both Drake London (WR) and Philadelphia (DEF). Turns out that was right combination as the lead change five (5) times int he last thirty (30) minutes on Monday night. This one went down to the wire folks and it wasn't until London crossed for a touchdown that the Waste finally out some space. if only all games were as good as this one. Final score to a raucous crowd in Texas, the Waster Potential defeat the Drunk Monkeys

133 - 125.

So lets run down the board and see where we are two weeks into the season.

The Black Cats and the Wasted Potential sit atop the board at 2-0 each. Right behind them at 1-1 are a flock of team, the Helmand Nighthawks, the Drunk Monkeys, the Boss team and the Banter Brigade. Occupying the cellar are the Who Dat Nation Rises and the Australian Taipans.

Next week we go to the Carolina's for our match of the day as the Black Cats host the visiting Boss team. The Cats can't stake a claim for sole possession of the #1 seed while the Bosses have to regain some ground to the divisional rivals.

And we'll be there for every snap of every game....and based on the top five picks in the draft all now being injured, the next domino to fall.

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.

There were some great candidates for this week. For the effort of4 receptions for 129 yards and 2 touchdowns, for a total of 35.00 points, the Week Two MVT goes to Marvin Harrison Junior (WR) of the Banter Brigade.
