It's always nice to begin your fantasy season with victory. Being 1-0 delivers hope and an optimistic mindset for the remainder of the year. I will be giving you guys a list of the men who very likely cost you your week one matchup and a list of the warriors who decimated the competition and that you rode to glory. Normally this will be published on Monday's but being that there were 2 games this Monday I just had to wait. Let's dive right in.
1. Tom Brady
It still huuuurts me to this day that my boy Drew Bledsoe was outed in New England and Brady led them to that first super bowl,but it sort of maybe seems like Coach Belichick made the right decision. What do you think? How did Brady fair in this Monday's season opener? Oh just a paltry 517 yards and 4 tubs. YIKES! Putting up the fifth most passing yards in NFL history get's you the number one spot in the champ section and it all looked so easy. Maybe Sparano, who is known as defensive minded coach should just go back to doing commercials. I loved him in that NFL promo when the Cowboys made the NFC title game. Classic. Back to Brady. The man is the best quarterback in the game, is filthy rich, and does the horizontal mambo with one of the hottest chicks on the planet. To put it bluntly, he's a better man then we are. Kudos Tommy. Kudos
2. Cam Newton
Newton, otherwise known as "God's son", showed that he might be the NFL's next great weapon en route to 422 yards and 2 TD's passing to go along with a 1 yard touchdown plunge. Not bad for a first game eh? Why do analysts keep comparing him to Vince Young? I've never seen Young play to a level even remotely close to what Newton did Sunday, unless you count that National title game. He was nasty in that one. Killa Cam took advantage of the Cardinals attempting and succeeding of stopping the run and dropped the 3rd most fantasy points from the QB position. Quite impressive if you ask moi. That's French if you didn't know.
3. Chad Henne
I wish you readers had any clue on how painful it is putting Henne on this list. Watching him over the past 2 seasons has been an utter disgrace but considering he finished with only a single point less then Brady, he belongs(SMH). Not surprisingly, Henne was unable to connect with B. Marshall in the zone. How long can this possibly go on? The Dolphins Quarterback has single handedly turned Marshall from a second round pick to 6th rounder in fantasy. I truly hate him as man, but with no real running back, and a clueless defense, Miami will be throwing all season. Henne seems like a solid QB2 going forward, maybe even into the top ten. God it stings to write that.
4. Ryan Fitzpatrick
Ah, the old Harvard grad. I've always wanted to visit Baaaaaastan. I'm joking. I'm sure I would hate it, but I sure do love this brainiac! Fitzy showed Matt Cassell what a real man does in a hostile environment and calmly floated 4 TD passes. Nobody saw this smack down coming and maybe the Bills are set at quarterback after all. I mean they could have drafted Blaine Gabbert or that chump who will remain nameless on the Vikings. I give you my personal guarantee the those 2 never amount to one combined pro bowl.
5. Michael Vick/Drew Brees
These two boss hogs would normally get a bit more individual love, but we like to give the more unheralded men some shine every now and then. On the other hand when you have a quarterback in Vick who can run for 100 yards and pass for 2 more, you have the most dangerous man alive. Not just dangerous to dogs, but in actual football games.
Brees did his usual 400 plus yards against me this week to go along with 3 td's and is always a serious threat to go H.A.M. Let's get to some chumps........
Kudos to the former Cambell's soup poster boy for keeping the underdog Vikings in the game against the much more hyped Chargers. A team scoring 17 points with their QB passing for a monstrous 39 yards is actually quite impressive. This was one of the worst games of the week and the game seems to have truly passed this one proud veteran by. Let me put it this way: He's finished. When you add in the fact that his starting receivers are complete gutter trash it equates to Minny having a disastrous year. Try to remember the good times Donovan. Like when you were caught puking on the sideline during the super bowl for being out of shape and being blamed for the loss by the entire city, and the time you were booed mercilessly when drafted ahead of Weed king Ricky Williams. I'm sure he's on the phone with his Mom, his co-star from ridiculously bad soup ads, crying his eyes out. Just retire McNabb. I hate to say this but you're a CHUMP.
2. Matt Cassell
Cassell was a real spark plug for the Chiefs in their 41-7 drubbing by the Canada Bills. Did I say spark plug? I meant ear plug! 119 yards on passing on 36 throwing attempts is almost impossible yet Cassel was able to pull it off. Matt Cassell, you are a straight up chump and the reason the Chiefs will never truly contend. Congrats.
3. Matt Ryan
Did anyone see this coming? Word on the streets was that the Falcons were trying to replicate the old Rams's teams and become the greatest show on turf. Oooops. Maybe it was the playing on the grass that cost them......Oooooooor maybe it was Matty Ice putting up 8 fantasy points and giving up the rock more than John Stockton (NBA reference). This was the biggest upset of the week in my eyes, at least in the manner it happened. Twas an absolute beat down and Ryan left his marbles in the ATL. What a chump!
4. Alex Smith
Can somebody please explain to me how this man is still in the NFL. I'm not talking about being a starter. I mean in the NFL period. He is the worst starting QB in football other then possibly Luke McCown and has no business still being with the team that drafted him number 1 overall many years back. Yes, we remember it well. The 49er's drafting of Smith over Aaron Rodgers still gives those bay area people nightmares. The 9er's game was by far the worst of the day as Smith battled another bum, Tarvaris Jackson, who narrowly missed being placed on this list. It's not like San Fran was playing against the Ravens d. This was the Sea-Chickens for the love of God! I can't even look at Alex Smith and not want to throw a brick through my 64 inch plasma!!! My God, what a Chump!
5. Luke McCown
I'm gonna keep this short. Luke McCown's brother Josh is 5 times better then Luke and he's not even in the league. That should tell you all you need to know about Luke's skill level right there. The Jag's won the game but this noodle armed weakling will surely tank even harder in the near future. Sucks to be a Jag's fan. Bring back Reggie Williams!!
1. Ray Rice
Ray Rizzle went into ultra G mode against the vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers and led all running backs in scoring this week. It was a mild surprise considering he dropped a total of 6 combined points in their 2 meetings last season. I own Sugar Ray in one of my leagues and I was expecting the worse. Instead this little mighty mite is looking the steal of the draft considering i snagged him in the 7 hole. I was filled with extreme pleasure when Rice punched it in from the 1 yard line as that role was reserved for Willis McGahee last season, but he's out of the picture and Ray is eyeing double digit touchdowns this year. A true champ. The little guy has heart.
2. Mike Tolbert
Tolbert barreled his way to 3 touchdowns on Sunday, with 2 of those scores coming through the air. He is the obvious goal line back and is a crazy athlete for his size. He scared many a fantasy owner with a late injury but seems to be fine going forward. Touchdowns will be spread around this season so don't expect this to happen again, but for now the "round mound of touchdown" is champ.
3. LeSean McCoy
Did you see that touchdown run in the 4th quarter to ice the game? Woooooooooooooooooooo!!! Oh you nasty LeSean. You nasty. McCoy is a dual threat, catching balls all over the place, with the ability to make house calls at any given moment. Looked like a star Sunday. Looked like a Champ.
4. Darren McFadden
There were others who scored more fantasy points then DMC but it shouldn't have been this way. Un uh, no no no. McFadden, who has more ability then any running back in the league, should have had a long touchdown run but he somehow was marked down at the half yard line and of course the Raiders Qb sneaked it. He was the main reason Oakland won this game and will continue to be their workhorse throughout the year so long as he remains injury free. The thing that huuuuurts about owning McFadden, is that Bush seems to be the goal line back which to me is a joke, but whatever. He will break some big ones this year. And you do know that!
1. Shonn Greene
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? 2 points?? Not only did Weeny Greeny score an embarrassing 2 points, but I predicted him to get hog wild in my previous article. Thanks for making me look like a moron. Or maybe I do that on my own???? Either way, Greene is on his way to chumping it 2 years in a row and I just can't take it anymore. I can't figure out if the interior lineman for the Jets are complete cupcakes or if Greene is just half the man he used to be like my boy Scott Weiland. The fact that the Cowboys were up for most of the game might have something to do with the limp performance but this week's honor of biggest chump stain goes to Shonn Greene without question.
2. Chris Johnson
Chump. Double that chump, chump! Johnson's week one performance brought back many pleasant memories I have from last year. I don't know if it was the 9 carries or the 24 yards rushing against a wax paper thin Jag's defense. There should be no way in hell that this freak of nature only gets 9 carries, yet it happened last season as well. This is why I avoided CJ2K in all of my drafts. It's not him. It's the Titans. I keep hearing they have one of the best O-lines in football but I'm not seeing any results. Anytime you lose to a Luke McCown led football team, your entire team should be physically punished. I'm serious. I have major love for CJ but he chumped out this week.
3. Rashard Mendenhall
I had nightmares last night about the bone jarring stick Haloti Ngata laid on Mendy yesterday. That one had to hurt. Besides the fumble, Mendenhall was rendered useless after the Ravens took a big lead so just like in Johnson's case, it's not totally his fault. That still doesn't get you off the hook in my world though baby boy. You're a first round fantasy draft pick. Act like it or stay in the chump section with your sexual assaulter of a QB. Wow, how did I leave "little Ben" off the chump QB list? He's a lucky man. They're both chumps in my eyes.
4. Marshawn Lynch
Stay away from Seattle Seahawks players this season. I repeat, stay away! Lynch will forever be remembered for his playoff run that literally caused a minor earthquake last season but at this point the man who used to go into "beast mode" is now just dead fantasy weight. Seattle uses 3 running backs, and none of them are particularly good. This Oak-town legend is looking more washed up then Too Short and every time he mentions "beast mode" is like when I hear Too Short still rapping. Completely played out. The glory days are over guys. You are both chumps.
5. Peyton Hillis
"The Great White Hope" has a new nickname. He is now known strictly as "The Great White Chump." How in God's name did this fullback end up on the cover of Madden. Why would anybody associated with the Cleveland Browns be given any publicity? What a humiliating loss to the lowly Bengals. I don't want to say much more about this guy but he has chump written all over him.
1. Steve Smith
Stevie "Franchise" got buck nasty on the Cardinals secondary and silenced the haters. Heeeeeeee's baaaaaack! Wait I traded him for Josh Freeman before the season started????? Whyyyyyyy? Oh well, I'm sure he will never top this performance, but on the other hand Cameron loves him and will look to send all his deep bombs in Smith's direction. The Champ is here. The champ is here.
2.Wes Welker
The PPR King shocked the world Monday night when he went crib from 99 yards out to go along with his usual short one. I'm trying to remember why the Dolphins traded the Welker in the first place. Oh yea, because they are freaking idiots and their once proud franchise is a joke. Welker ended as the number 2 scoring wideout this week and it will more then likely be the last time he finishes in the top five. Enjoy your moment Wesley. This is what it feels like to be a champ.
3. Kenny Britt
Whereas the aforementioned chump Shonn Greene made me look moronic, Kenny Britt made me look prophetic while hauling in 5 catches for 136 yards. If you don't have the "big play bonus" in your league you should seriously consider adding it. It's pretty cool. I'm pretty cool. No I'm not. Kenny Britt is though. Champion now and probably in the future. Praise the man.
4. Calvin Johnson
Megatron makes opposing db's shake in their Under Armour spandex when they line up against him. I genuinely believe this mega-beast will produce a minimum of 18 touchdowns this season if Stafford can somehow manage to stay healthy for even 12 games and the NFL record is a possibility. The ease with which "Big" Jonson does things is a thing of beauty. If I could be any other man, other then myself, it might be this part man-part machine I speak of right now.
5. Doug Baldwin
Teach me how to Dougie, teach teach, teach me how to Dougie. I had to show some love to at least one scrub who had a good week. Baldwin made a nice play and took one to the house. He was an undrafted free agent so I thought I'd show a little love.
1. Vincent Jackson
It's always nice when the guy I think could possibly end up in the top 3 of fantasy receivers on the year scores 3 points opening day. He did blow a 70 yard bomb by slowing up for a second so it's on him this week. That alone would have given him a top 10 day. Other then that ball, the Vikings played deep coverage and only allowed all the short yardage garbage. Truly a horrible game if I didn't mention it. Jackson was supposed to be motivated for a huge payday, but on Sunday afternoon, the man played like a total chump.
2. Dwayne Bowe
1 point? Ouch. I would have to assume that point total caused major damage to many a teams fantasy hopes last week. Blame Matt Cassell. The guy is a chump. It's not like the Bills have any defensive backs worth talking about. The numbers Bowe put up last season were insane and I wouldn't expect anything remotely close to that this season. He could very well end up on the chump list again next week. I wouldn't bet against it.
3. Larry Fitzgerald
6 points was not what anyone was expecting when Larry Legend was given a QB who can actually throw the rock. Massive double teams will continue to come until Andre Roberts and Early "never late" Doucet show they are consistent threats. I believe they are and Fitz is good enough where it won't matter either way. This will be his last trip on the chump list. You have my word as a gentleman on that.
Scottie "to hottie" Chandler torched the inept Chiefs and had the game of his life. He led all tight ends in scoring and you can probably be certain this no-name will never be close to making this list again. Still, that doesn't take away the fact that he played like a champion all day long. Women lie, men lie, but numbers don't. Actually, maybe in this case they do, but Chandler still got off and he'll always have week 1.
2. Fred Davis
Davis didn't score a touchdown but he showed the ability to stretch the field and is ready for his breakout season. Enough of Chris Cooley. Trade him or demote him to second string. Freddy is too real.
He's phony, he's fake. That's the type of people I hate. Daniels had one measly catch for 12 yards and I never quite understood why so many "experts" felt he would get off this season. Don't get me wrong, he will be OK, but no where near top 5 worthy. He's a straight up chump. This week anyway.
2. Dallas Clark
Stay away and try to trade if you are one of the unfortunate souls who owns him. His nickname this season is chumpy.
There you have. Check in next week for another webisode of Champs and Chumps. Don't be a chump! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think. Halleluha hollaback!

1.Owen DanielsHe's phony, he's fake. That's the type of people I hate. Daniels had one measly catch for 12 yards and I never quite understood why so many "experts" felt he would get off this season. Don't get me wrong, he will be OK, but no where near top 5 worthy. He's a straight up chump. This week anyway.
2. Dallas Clark
Stay away and try to trade if you are one of the unfortunate souls who owns him. His nickname this season is chumpy.
There you have. Check in next week for another webisode of Champs and Chumps. Don't be a chump! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think. Halleluha hollaback!
