After week 2 and more injuries, the biggest thing I learned is that Kansas City is awful. I can admit when I am wrong; I was certainly wrong about them. The added loss of Charles certainly won't help. That being said, this was the best part of the weekend (courtesy of Michael Boley).
Overall: 2-1-1
Last Weeks Predictions:
Tampa Bay +3 vs Minnesota: WIN
Purple Jesus ran all over Tampa Bay, but LeGarrette Blount led a late game comeback in Minnesota.
Kansas City +8.5 vs Detroit: LOSS
Like I mentioned, Kansas City is certifiably horrible. On top of that, Detroit looks amazing. Not only do they have a high-flying offense led by Matthew Stafford and Megatron, their defense forced 6 turnovers. I swear, every time I looked at the game Detroit had the ball in the KC redzone.
Top Fantasy Projections:
QB - Philip Rivers: 25/37, 280 yards, 2 TD - ACTUAL: 29/40, 378, 2 TD
RB - Darren McFadden: 120 Total yards, TD - ACTUAL: 143 Total yards, 2 TD
WR - Andre Johnson: 6 Rec, 90 yards, TD - ACTUAL: 7 Rec, 93 yards, TD
Our top fantasy performers killed it this week. We were near perfect on the above three.
Week 3 Projections & Predictions:
Green Bay -3 at Chicago
Green Bay looked a little shaky against Carolina to start the game, but Aaron Rodgers is just too good. I expect him to shred the Bears' secondary like Drew Brees did last week.
Baltimore -3.5 at St. Louis
I hate to pick 2 road teams again, but I don't think St. Louis is doing anything special yet. Their run defense is 2nd worst in the league, allowing over 5 more points than they should have in similar situations.
Top Fantasy Projections:
QB - Tom Brady: 30/40, 350 yards, 2 TD
RB - Chris Johnson: 120 Total Yards, TD
WR - Larry Fitzgerald: 6 Recs, 80 yards, TD
