Big Dawgs, Mega Powers, Team Priceless and Team Smith sit atop Fantasy League Standings...




My Fantasy Football League Update: After two weeks of NFL action, four teams -- The Big Dawgs, Mega Powers, Team Priceless and Team Smith -- sit atop the UPC Hood Fantasy Football standings with identical 2-0 records. New Orleans capped a crazy second week with a last-second win at San Francisco tonight on Monday Night Football. The surprising 25-22 nailbiter by the Saints, sent the Fantasy owners scurrying to their respective computers to add up their scores and set up their rosters for Week 3. As for me, I'm happy to report that I'm still among the leaders as Team Priceless outscored the A-Team, 172-150, this week. And I owe it all to the 49ers and Detroit's rookie running back Javid Best. My 54-point lead going into Monday Night Football could have dwindled away very easily tonight as my opponent had Drew Brees at quarterback and running back Pierre Thomas on his A-Team roster. Thank you 49ers! As for Mr. Best, well he went wild for the second week in a row and amassed 45 fantasy points! Best rushed for 78 yards and collected 154 receiving yards to go along with three touchdowns!

Still, it's going to be tough staying with the likes of the Big Dawgs and Mega Powers, the two teams in the league which are racking up the points. And it's no wonder. Mega Powers amassed 202 points this week with an easy win over the Grey Ghosts (0-2), getting high-point total from Denver's Kyle Orton and San Francisco's Frank Gore. Big Dawgs collected its 142 points this week behind two quarterbacks, Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers, but needed the six fantasy points from New Orleans' wide-receiver Marques Colston tonight to eke out a three-point win over Team Army (0-2). It was a heart-breaking loss for Team Army, which scored 139 points for the week, but didn't have a player involved in Monday Night Football . As for Team Smith, they remained unbeaten by handing the Meat Eaters its first loss of the season, 130-115. Team Smith received 46 fantasy points from Tony Romo.In a battle between two winless UPC Hood teams this week, Team Arps rolled to its first win with a 191-87 win over Big Red. Team Arps received 60 fantasy points from Matt Schaub.
