Week 3 - Still Too Early...

... for a MOTW.

If 2 weeks in, we could decide who was the best team, I would take the money and run. However, we still have a long 11 regular season weeks and another 3 playoff weeks. Therefore, we'll have to hold off one more week before a proper MOTW can be written. I was going to write one on Dan and Biggie as there are a few story lines to keep it interesting (e.g. both 0-2, Dan taking Conner, two elder statesmen battling it out) but Dan's record doesn't really reflect his team's great play. I think we'll save it for week 4 when we could have teams with a combined 5 wins facing off against each other (David K. vs. Cho, Jon vs. Mike are two possibilities).

So I'm not sure what to write about for this week. I'll just post some random thoughts:

• Apparently marriage is the key to fantasy football. The top 6 players are all married while the bottom 6 are not. For those that thought marriage would take away the time required to do fantasy football research, one thing is clear: marriage gives you a great start to your fantasy football season. Let's see if these findings hold until the end of the year
• Based on the points he's scored, Dan should be 2nd. He's unfortunate to be in 9th place but I wouldn't be surprised if he's over .500 by the end of week 7.
• Nobody likes seeing undeserving players at the top of the table but luckily I don't think anybody has that inglorious honor 2 weeks in. Jung is a hair under 200 points but only Dan and Eric may have a bone to pick with him. If Dan can normalize, we won't have as much dysfunction as we did last year when comparing PF to W-L record.

That's pretty much all I have for today. I can already hear David K. grumbling about not having airport reading material and Eric giving me some choice words under his breath but get ready for some sick MOTWs in the coming week. I may be tweaking the format a bit so look for a breath of fresh air. Also, look forward to a mid-season post on re-visiting the draft analysis done before the season. We'll get to see which picks actually panned out and which ones busted. When we compare it to the previous post, we'll see moments that make me look like a genius. And moments that make me look like an idiot. But we'll forgive the latter.

Good luck to all!
