NFL Mikee's Fantasy Football Adventures: Week Three

Maurice Jones-Drew lived up to his potential this week for his fantasy owners, dominating the Houston Texans for over 100 yards rushing and three touchdowns.

I, unfortunately, don't have him on a team.

My point leaders on team one, the Molemen were Steve Smith, the Giants version, Nate Kaeding, and Kerry Collins, with 12.30, 11.00, and 9.24. Not great.

NFL Mikee's Molemen, took a loss this week for the first time. I thought Kurt Warner would have a tough time against the Colt defense and I was right, but options were few as replacements.

I settled on Kerry Collins, but did not fare well. This week, just for kicks, I picked up Brett Favre to take Warner's place on a bye week for the Cardinals. This should be fun playing Green Bay, so maybe this pick will work out.

Andre Johnson, Steve Smith of the Giants, and Roy Williams will start at wide receivers.

Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas will be my running backs.

Heath Miller will be my tight end, plus Nate Keading and the Eagles defense. I like my chances this week. Molemen, 2-1.

Team two, the TWO Wreckers, won easily again, and are now 3-0. I did make some changes, as people pointed out to me the bench was weak. Point leaders were Matt Schaub with 23 and Brent Celek, a good free agent pick-up, with 16.40.

This week's starting line will have Matt Schaub. who is ahead of my reglaur quarterback by four touchdowns. Brady has the Ravens defense to deal with while Schaub plays Oakland. This should be a good move.

We will also have Randy Moss, Vincent Jackson,Johhny Knox, Adrian Peterson, Kevin Smith, and Heath Miller. Kicking will be John Carney, and the defense will be the Forty-Niners. This team should make it to 4-0 and keep dominating the league I'm in with ten teams.

I have figured out the deal with defenses and kickers, I think. Use whoever you can get, depending on your bye week. These guys are like pawns in a chess game. Slightly expendible, but useful on some level.

My Fox team, NFL Mikee's Maulers took a loss, and fell to 1-2. Point leaders were Brent Celek with 16.40 and Steve Smith, again with the Giants, with 12.3.

Drew Brees will start, of course. Darren Sproles will be at one running back, and Correll Buckhalter will start this week, as Felix Jones hurt his knee. Steve Smith and Mark Clayton will be my wide receivers.

Ryan Grant will stay in my flex position as he has been steady. Vernon Davis is being picked up for tight end this week, as it is Brenk Celek's bye week. We have also picked up the San Francisco defense and dropped Tennessee. This week has a good shot at a win.

Team four, the South Florida Tarpons, in an ESPN league also lost this week and fell to 1-2. We are dropping Trent Edwards and I am trying to pick up Mark Sanchez to start this week instead of Kerry Collins.

Point leaders were Willis McGahee with 16 and  the Forty-Niner defense with 11.

 I think Sanchez will be forced to put the ball up. and maybe he can get 2-3 touchdowns , I'm hoping.

 Reggie Bush, Willis McGahee, anf Matt Forte will start, along with Hines Ward, Antwean Randle El, John Carlson, the Forty Niner defense and John Carney, who will replace Neil Rackers.

 I'm thinking about replacing El, but will have to see if any one else worthwhile is available.

Team five, the Fort Myers Mustangs,scored a win with a good point total. Point leaders were Joe Flacco with 17 and the Ravens defense also with 17. This team is 2-0-1.

Joe Flacco will start again at quarterback, as he has done well so far. Donovan McNabb is on a bye week, nursing that rib. Steve Slaton will start at running back, along with the workhorse of the Dolphins, Ronnie Brown.

Johnny Knox, Randy Moss, and Jerricho Cotchery will be the receivers. Heath Miller will take over for Tony Gonzales with his bye hitting this week.

We have the Ravens defense, and Mason Crosby as the kicker. This weeks line-up looks adequate.

Team six, the LaBelle Cowboys have it rough already at 0-3. The Giants Steve Smith led in points with 12 and Ryan Longwell had 11. These are not great point leaders.

Last week , I thought Kurt Warner would have a rough week, as I stated earlier, and he did. I made a bad decision trying Byron Leftwich as a replacement. Bad choice!

I have again, picked up Mark Sanchez for this week, as Kurt Warner has a bye week.

I have also dropped Chris Cooley and picked up Brent Celek at tight end, but will also have to grab someone else this week as it is Celek's bye week. Heath Miller will start at tight end.

 He is somewhat dependable, and maybe will get a touchdown catch this week.

Pierre Thomas and Fred Jackson will start at running backs this week. Steve Smith of the Giants, Hines Ward, and Johhny Knox will be the receivers. I have the Packers defense and Ryan Lomgwell kicking. Who knows about this team. Try to get a win, guys.

Team seven, the North Fort Myers Warlords, are undefeated at 3-0. Point leaders were Brent Celek with 16 and  the Bronco's defense with 14. 

 I like Brenk Celek and have him on most of my teams , it seems. i also like Steve Smith of the Giants and have him on many teams also.

Frank Gore has a sore ankle, Larry Fitzgerald and Kurt Warner have a bye week, so this starting line-up had to be adjusted this week.

My back up quarterback is Big Ben however, not a terrible replacement. Thomas Jones, Correll Buckhalter, and Darren Sproles will start. Also starting will be Hines Ward, Percy Harvin, and Heath Miller.

The Forty-Niner defense will replace Denver's this week, and Joe Nedney will replace Rian Lindell. I hope the replacements have a decent week and get me to 4-0.

Last week my teams went 6-1, but this week I finished at 3-4. Week four coming up!

Have a great week and thanks for staying tuned to my fantasy adventures.
