Week 5 Mr. Fantasy

By Steve Bindler- TNT Explosion

DRAGON SLAYERS  v.s.  JAGUARS

To most people’s surprise, the Dragon Slayers will go into this week with an advantage at QB.  The Greenbay QB was dominant in the 1990s, and it was thought that the Minnesota QB was going to take his place in the new century, but this may have been a bit premature.  As long as Minnesota has a problem running the ball. their Qbs stats will suffer.  At the RB position, the Slayers have the only fantasy stud in Martin, and win at this position as well.  At the WR position. I see it as a virtual wash.  It will come down to playing the correct guys for this week.  The Jags win their only position at the KR, with Elam easily out distancing the rest of the pack.  The Jags also lose their starting D with a bye week.  It looks like the Slayers will win in a walk unless the Minn. QB has a huge day.  (Yea right, I have Moss and can tell you all that this just isn’t in the cards)


WHATS THE POINT v.s. SEMOLINA PILCHARDS

This one is easy.  The Points name will describe the entire season for this team.  Their bad luck began on draft night when Mr. Morton was unable to attend  and sent an obvious rookie to take his place.  The point will not have their best player yet again this week with Fred Taylor sitting on the sidelines nursing another injury.  The Pilchards are loaded, especially at RB and WR.  The Pilchards are rumored to be thinking about benching their starters and going with the scrubs.  It won’t matter either way.  The Pilchards win in a laugher.


TNT EXPLOSION v.s. C&D TD MAKERS

This is a rematch of a week 2 meeting when TNT squeezed out a narrow 98-96 victory over the hard luck C&D squad.  C&D will go with their beloved Jests QB this week since the Jags are on a bye.  TNT will counter with the Saints QB and get the nod at this position.  TNT lost one of the teams best players 2 weeks ago when Jamal Anderson went down for the year.  (I had him 2 years ago when he blew out the other knee.  I guess it’s me.  Sorry Jamal) It probably wouldn’t have mattered though, with C&D countering with Faulk.  In their earlier match up Faulk struggled by his standards, but now it appears that he will once again be a one man wrecking crew.
If the real Moss shows up this week TNT can dominate at this position.  But this has not happened yet this year.  Incredibly, Mr. Moss has yet to register double digits in any week this year.  At the K and D positions, there is no great advantage for either team.  If the coach of TNT can do a better job of picking the correct starters for his team, they have a chance.  This will NOT happen.  For the second week in a row, TNT will play all the wrong players and C&D will get some pay back.


SUICIDE KINGS v.s. SHOW ME THE MONEY

OK.  Nobody else has had the guts to ask the question that we all have been thinking to our selves, so Mr. Fantasy will ask it for all of you chickens.  Every year the owner of Show Me gets to sit  in the big leather chair in front of the spacious desk, which is located in front of the only opened window on draft night.  The rest of the league is considered lucky if they can find a place to sit.  I know that it’s his office, but this is a clear advantage for him.  With all this going for him, he manages to put out the same mediocre team year after year.  For this reason and no other I am picking Suicide to kick Show Me out of their swivel chair and down to a loss.


UNDERTAKERS v.s. SANDBAGGERS

Since the lowly Underfakers managed to win their last 2 games (they beat me last week), and the Broncos are NOT on a bye this week.  Mr. Fantasy must pick the Sandbroncos in a romp.  The co-owners of the Undertakers are obviously suffering from a penis envy-like syndrome.  Any team that talks that much shit and feels the need to tell every one how great they are must be hiding something.  (No matter how small).  Mr. Fantasy feels that the Baggers win in a laugher and the Underfakers should seek therapy for their LITTLE problem.


MIGHTY CAESARS v.s. TBFC

Mr Fantasy feels that this will be the matchup of the week.  The pizza boys lose their starting QB on a bye, but have a good back up in San Diego.  If their RBs continue to produce, (with mirrors I guess) they will be a force.  Eddie George is all banged up this week. If he can’t go or is ineffective, it looks bleak for them.  Look for the pizza boys to deliver and send TBFC down to defeat. (Remember, if Caesars doesn’t deliver in 20 minutes or less, its free
.)
