As i laid on the couch Al Bundy style i did what most 30 year old dads working an "it'll do" job do, i reminisced about days long gone that probably weren't as great as i remember them being and the harsh realities of sports induced heart break. I thought about the little league championship game we lost when i was 9 and we were clearly the best team. I thought about the high school JV football team that would have won state the next two years had they not opened a new high school my junior year and divided us in half. I thought about my army days and Vegas card playing days and how those career choices came up a bit short.
Then i remembered, this is why we play fantasy football. It's because every year it's a chance to have that one year where we say, "OK my life....err team sucks this year, but next year is a do-over and i'm def taking player x and then owning the draft and league. EAT IT!!!" With that much motivation how could i not wake up from my food induced coma and write this blog?
QB's - Look everybody, lets know worry about Brady or Rodgers yet. Was it a good idea to draft them in the first round? I'm leaning no. Are they still going to put up good/great seasons? Most likely. The rest of the names here are guys that were on the cusp and after two weeks look like the real deal. I still doubt RJ III finishes on this list but then again i was the only Cam Newton hater on the planet last year and this year. On the other hand Matt Ryan and the Falcons offense appears to have made that leap.

Alex Smith
Andrew Luck
Andy Dalton
Streamer's pick
Matt Cassel - Love his match-up this week. On the road in the match-up of whose defenses can give up the most points the quickest. Cassel is a bit slept on (only owned in 32% of leagues) but will put up pretty consistent numbers since his team is always trailing by double digits and he has weapons all over the field (Bowe, Baldwin, Moeaki, Charles).
RB's - What a wild ride it's been with running backs so far. Seriously has one running back put together two above average games yet?
Tier 1
Arian Foster
Ray Rice
LeSean McCoy (Not giving up on him yet)
CJ Spiller? Really? We'll see
Tier 2
Reggie Bush
Darren Sproles (Have i mentioned i only recognize ppr as real fantasy football?)

Demarco Murray
Doug Martin
BJGE
Adrian Peterson
Marshawn Lynch
Willis McGahee
Tier 3 aka "The rest"
Steven Jackson
Ahmed Bradshaw
Ben Tate (lol at how fast he jumps to tier 1 if Foster tweaks a hammy)
CJ1.2YPC *Side Note* I'm going all out to trade for him in every league i'm in. Buy low people, buy low...and right now i have seen him going for BJGE and i'll trade my 6th round pick for 1st round talent ALL DAY!
1Handcuff1WaiverWirePickup1Cup(of gin and tonic).com
Jacquizz Rodgers - What's that? Michael Turner is a dumbshit and decided to get a DUI? Oh and he doesn't fit into the new high flying Falcons offense anyway?
Mike Leshoure - DO IT! Did you not see how the Lions kept trying to run the ball on the best run defense in the NFL over and over again? And now they are getting back Leshoure who could be a beast with D-Coordinators pissing their pants at having to quadruple team Megatron.
WR's - WR's fluctuate so much and are so deep this year it's only worth breaking into 1 tier.....so i'll just rank them in the order i man crush them until i run out of....man crushes.
Tier 1 - Man crushes
Calvin Johnson
Roddy White

Victor Cruz (how am i still not a believer?)
Reggie Wayne
Antonio Brown (I BELIEVE!!!!)
OK, I lied i don't just man crush everybody. The thing is i didnt find that out until i started ranking them on paper....so here we go, these guys on tier 2 still need to be started
Tier 2 - WR's with benefits
Andre Johnson
Malcom Floyd
Vincent Jackson
Demaryius Thomas
Danny AMENDOLA!!!! (In my heart you will always be on the "Man Crush" Tier but in reality
Larry Fitzgerald (Guess that's what happens when you dont have a QB)
Marques Colston

Good luck loyal blog readers, may the odds be forever in your favor (what movie did i steal that from?)
