\"\"<\/a>#1 Golden Smoot \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (2-0) Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look now, but Richman & Wolfert are sitting pretty, nearly becoming the top scoring team 2 weeks running.\u00c2\u00a0 This team is proof that being thrifty can pay off.\u00c2\u00a0 Smoot had a stock pile near the end of the debacle of an online draft and does not have a salary more than $9 on the whole team.<\/p>\n

#2 Qtopia \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (2-0) Doug hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t altered is lineup one iota after the draft, but clearly things are working well.\u00c2\u00a0 A wishbone with Charles, Forte, and S-Jax has gotten this team off to a hot start.\u00c2\u00a0 Something will have to change by week 4 though, when Romo goes on bye and the only other QB on this roster is a disappointing Matt Leinart\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n


\n#3 Balti-Morons \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (2-0) It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been two nail biters for Duncan and Kalb, with only a 4pt margin of victory in week one and needing a huge Monday night from Gore (and a dud of a game from Crabtree) to pull out another close game this week.\u00c2\u00a0 This team might not be able to survive on a QB rotation of V.Y, Alex Smith, and Seneca Wallace though.
\n#4 Raging Alcoholics \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (1-1) When you score 85 points each week, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d expect to be 2-0, but not here.\u00c2\u00a0 Boldin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s franchise tag hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t paid off big, yet, but a dirt cheap Orton (who needs him with Cutler?) and high scoring Fins\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 D have led from the start.\u00c2\u00a0 Reggie Bush hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t cracked the starting lineup, but he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be expensive ($17) to hold on to for the next 6 weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, and what is Pat White still doing on the practice squad!?!?
\n#5 Qutane \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (1-1) Commish Radeck has always had a fairly high scoring team, and this year is no different.\u00c2\u00a0 Schaub, DeSean Jackson, are the early leaders here.\u00c2\u00a0 However, cheap pick up Brandon Jackson and MJD are going to have to step up to keep this team going.
\n#6 Rushing Russians \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (1-1) Losing Grant didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hurt Nick as he bounced back big in week 2.\u00c2\u00a0 Carrying a league leading 28 players, there was plenty of RB depth here to keep running the wishbone.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good thing, since outside of Andre Johnson there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hardly a WR of note.
\n#7 Ron Mexiq \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (1-1) Dan is carrying 3 QBs and benching Brees and Ryan (!), playing the good Manning, weekly and still averaging over 70 points.\u00c2\u00a0 There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been enough production & talent at WR with Murphy, Sims-Walker, and Dez Bryant to cushion the loss of V Jax for perhaps the year.\u00c2\u00a0 Money bets one of those 3 QBs is moved by the trade deadline.
\n#8 Revenge of the Cox \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (1-1) If Smoot is the model for fiscal prudence, Cox is the total opposite.\u00c2\u00a0 Chase has spent $85 between just 4 players.\u00c2\u00a0 Granted, that gives you a top QB, RB, and two #1 WRs, it also leaves you with players like LenDale White and a lot of $1 players.\u00c2\u00a0 Nonetheless, it nearly made this team 2-0\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.so props.\u00c2\u00a0 With no real RB after Turner, and with Kolb benched no real QB behind Brady, bye weeks should be hell.
\n#9 Goonie Goo Goo \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (0-2) Yea, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re winless\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6but Goo has scored more points than the remaining 3 teams.\u00c2\u00a0 Favre and J. Stewart are off to slow starts, but when they come around combined with J. Best, Austin, and C. Johnson\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6this team becomes scary.\u00c2\u00a0 A few of their 11 RBs might be worth keeping after cut downs too.
\n#10 Quickly Eliminated \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (1-1) Five rookie picks, combined with key injuries make Tom the team with the lowest point total so far.\u00c2\u00a0 Beanie Wells, Ben Tate, Sidney Rice, and now Ryan Mathews have been out for this team.\u00c2\u00a0 The future with these youngsters no doubt looks bright, but they may be one year away.
\n#11 Vote Quimby \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (0-2) Things may be looking up for Wise & Co.\u00c2\u00a0 Is picking up Gradkowski the answer?\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe, after both QBs on the roster put up negative points last week.\u00c2\u00a0 Shonn Greene may be in a timeshare now, but Eric was able to pick up Tolbert on the cheap as an alternative.
\n#12 Al Toon All Stars \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (0-2) This week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s matchup will likely come down to MNF, as Cutler goes against Rodgers for Mike.\u00c2\u00a0 It might take a bit to pick up the pieces from how BriBlackburn left the team, but there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s talent at WR (all signed for $4 or $7 strangely\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
