Owner of Big Dawgs Survives Scare in Fantasy League

My Fantasy Football League Update: Big Dawgs (3-0) remained one of three undefeated teams in the UPC Hood Fantasy Football League as Week 3 came to an end tonight. But, boy did the Fantasy owner have to sweat it out! With a 48-point lead in Fantasy points over the team, Grey Ghosts, things were looking pretty good for the owner of the Big Dawgs as the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears squared off on MNF, but by the fourth quarter chances are he probably headed for the frig and popped open an extra beer or two as he watched Aaron Rodgers, single-handily, put up enough Fantasy numbers (38 in all) to make things interesting. Add another six points from the Packers' defense and three points from the Grey Ghosts only other MNF participant -- Chicago running back Matt Forte...and there you have it -- 47 points.

Unfortunately, for the owner of the Grey Ghosts (0-3), he came up just one point shy. Those MNF games can be a killer for one Fantasy owner and a blessing for another. But what really hurts is having to sit back and wait for the results, especially when you do not have one player on your roster who could produce a counter move -- which was the big dilemma tonight for the owner of the Big Dawgs. Still, he prevailed and will go into Week 4 in a dead heat with Mega Powers (3-0) and yours truly, Team Priceless (3-0). Yep, I won again (see previous post), with a hard-fought 165-149 win over previously unbeaten, Team Smith (2-1). Mega Powers (3-0) remained undefeated as they survived a scare from the winless A-Team. The A-Team received 54 Fantasy points from Drew Brees, due to the New Orleans quarterback's performance on Sunday, unfortunately, Denver's Kyle Orton amassed 53 points to offset that total. But the big difference in that matchup came from the 34-point Fantasy performance from Minnesota's Adrian Peterson as the powerful Mega Powers team won, 180-170. The A-Team just didn't have an answer for that winning combination.
