Week 2 Schedule

Chargers (1-0) vs. Hitmen (1-0)

The battle of the top two seeds right now, the Hitmen look to go 2-0 in their division, but will have to go through the Chargers.  The Chargers have already replaced Jay Fiedler with Tommy Maddox as he will be in a shootout with the KC Chiefs.   The Hitmen will be expecting more out of their running backs to support Torry Holt and their solid wide receivers.

SmackDownSister (0-1) vs. Tight Ends (0-1)

In a battle of 0-1 teams, SmackDownSister looks to rebound and hopes that McNabb  and his Phili Defense will show up next week against the pushover New England Patriots (a team even Buffalo could beat).  The Tight Ends will once have to look for other members of her team as her franchise back Priest Holms is up against the tough Pittsburgh Defense.

Rynos (1-0) vs. StiffArms (1-0)

***Game of the Week***   A battle of the top two scoring teams, the Rynos are looking for better production out of Marshall Faulk this week.  They'll need it as the StiffArms will have Clinton Portis  running against San Diego and the tandem of Culpepper and Bates going up against the pathetic Chicago Bears.

PhatBacks (0-1) vs. Ball Ho's (0-1)

The Ball Ho's look to take advantage of the league's lowest scoring team after one week, while the PhatBacks are hoping that Peyton Manning really CAN spend more than a few downs in the Red Zone without throwing a pick.  Problem is the Ball Ho's will have Randy Moss going up against the Bears (see above).  It could be ugly....

"Peyton Manning - $21?  No TDs and two INTs?  That's not what I paid for!"  

Assassins (0-1) vs. Gryphons (1-0)

The Assassins are looking towards the health of their two Wide Receivers Donald Driver and Joe Horn who are both nicked up.  They will need a healthy team as the Gryphons look to be fielding a much improved team from last year.

Marauders (1-0) vs. Quiet Storm (0-1)

Looking forward to a quick 2-0 start to the season, the Marauders head into the home of the Quiet Storm.  After a narrow victory with their team scoring only two TDs in week 1, the Marauders will need a better performance out of Edgerin James to beat the Quiet Storm, who are lead by superstar Rich Gannon, who put up 12 fantasy points last week despite being under pressure in Tennessee all night.
