We just started week three on the right foot as we won week two!

I figured that before I go into details I would let you know who is in our league. Here's a graph with our opponents' team names and our standings:

As you can see, we are in first place!

If you remember from last week's team, we had four defenses. Yes, some guys told me that I was crazy for having so many defenses, but I just want our team to be safe. But I figured I would look into the possibility of changing some things to get us more points.

I spoke with a friend who is crazy about fantasy football, and he
suggested dropping the Philadelphia defense and checking which running backs were left. Seattle's Julius Jones was one of the best left to pick up. My friend said he was surprised nobody had chosen him first, so I guess we were in luck as he is on our team now.

In week two we played against Naughty Parts, and the end result was 137.9 to 87.38. This week we face Mustard Lookers who has a very good team, with New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, Green Bay wide receiver Greg Jennings and others.

Speaking of players, The Loose Poopmen has offered a trade. I know you are reading Poopmen, so you'll probably find the answer you're looking for if you keep on reading.

A week and a half ago Poopmen first offered to trade Chicago wide receiver, Devin Hester for our New England wide receiver Wes Welker Hmmm, why would he want to trade, I thought. Is he sick with a stomach flu?

So I started to do some research on Hester's history and I found out that he got a rib injury! I don't think our team needs dead weight, even though they say he's back for week three. After that, I didn't accept nor reject the trade. Later on, Poopmen offered Denver running back, Selvin Young along with Hester. What's going on, Poopmen?

I did more research and found that although Young might be ranked 23rd for top running backs by the Real Time Fantasy Sports Web site, he still is not a reliable

player, according to my readings. Welker is ranked 12, and it says he is one of the most consistent players in the league. Take that Poopmen, no wonder you're so hungry for him!

I was actually waiting to see what else Poopmen would offer to see if his bidding would go higher, but I guess that no matter
how many players he offers, we'll stick to our reliable, non-injured player.

We'll see what happens in week three. I'm excited to say we are first in the league, but it's still very early to be dancing for victory.
