Week 12 Matchup

The Real McCoy (6-5) vs La Flama Blanca (4-7)

Week 12 Starters

QB - Matt Ryan: Coming off a terrible game that cost McCoy the win. It was totally unacceptable and McCoy expects better. Has a good matchup this week and Ryan had better bounce back.

WR - Reggie Wayne: Keep on doing what you are doing Reggie. Try to get in the endzone this week doe.

WR - Demaryious Thomas: Coming off an ok game but more catches and yards are expected out of him.

RB - CJ Spiller: Looks like he is getting another start this week. Make the most of your touches and break off a big one to the endzone this week.

RB - Ryan Mathews: What does Norv Turner have in store for us this week?

TE - Aaron Hernandez: It actually appears as though he should play. Even if he is limited he will be getting the start for McCoy.

FLEX - Dez Bryant: Coming off a monster game and has a good matchup again this week. Can he have two good games in a row?

K - Lawrence Tynes: Welcome back from the bye week Mr. Tynes. Hopefully Tynes can continue to kick a good amount of field goals for the G-men

DEF - SEA: Playing a struggling Miami team this week, however it is on the road.

McCoy is coming off a tough loss in which they really needed to win. His team had a good performance other than Matt Ryan who had a stern talking to after his terrible week. There has to be urgency in the locker room if McCoy is going to make the playoffs. Every week is basically a must win from here on out. McCoy has two starters on turkey day and he needs to play well.

Week 11 Matchup

The Real McCoy (6-4) vs. Gothams Reckoning (7-2-1)

Week 11 Starters

QB - Matt Ryan: Needs to continue to be consistent for McCoy. Has been a big contributor this season.

WR - Reggie Wayne: Wayne should have plenty of chances against NE as they will most likely need to come back.

WR - Demaryious Thomas: McCoy can't afford for Thomas to get hurt. If he can stay on the field he has been playing well.

RB - CJ Spiller: With Fred Jackson out, Spiller should have plenty of chances to perform. Hopefully he can live up to the hype and stay on the field.

RB - Ryan Mathews: Might not play this week as he is dealing with a neck injury. If he is out, this spot is a question mark for McCoy.

TE - Aaron Hernandez: Another player for McCoy who is a question mark to play. It would be huge for McCoy if he got back on the field.

FLEX - Dez Bryant: A big td saved last week for Dez. He seems to be back healthy, and Joe Haden might not play this week.

K - TBD: Who will fill the void for Tynes. Will Tynes be cut? Tune in tomorrow for the answer.

DEF - PIT: Did not live up to expectations last week. Not a great matchup this week, but will need to step up.

Overall, McCoy has many questions marks this week with three players. Fortunately, Gotham is without Harvin and Peterson but they do get sproles back. McCoy is really hoping his players will end up playing this week. Either way, it will be a close matchup as Gotham has put up points every week. Tune in at the end of this week and on Sunday to find out who will end up in McCoy's lineup.

Week 10 Matchup

The Real McCoy (5-4) vs. Weeden and Weep (2-6-1)

Week 10 Starters

QB - Matt Ryan: Needs to have a big performace against the Saints.

WR - Reggie Wayne: Already played.....good performance as always

WR - Demaryious Thomas: Matching up against a beatable CAR secondary. Needs to show why he is the teams #1 WR.

RB - Rashad Jennings: Already played......Bad. Did not put McCoy in a good spot.

RB - CJ Spiller: Hopefully he actually gets more touches today. Averaging over 7 ypc when getting the ball.

TE - Dustin Keller: Not an easy matchup against the seahawks but Bennett hasn't been producing and Hernandez is still hurt. Keller will have his shot today to prove he is start worthy in the future.

FLEX - Dez Bryant: Not coming off a good game. However, he did not practice all week. McCoy is hoping his production had to do with his lack of practice and not lack of trust. Dez got in a full week of practice and is hopefully due for a good game.

K - Lawrence Tynes: Has been kicking a bunch of field goals. Keep it up.

DEF - PIT: Has as good of a matchup as you can possibly have against KC. Having played well the last couple weeks PIT can't afford to have a bad week.

Overall, McCoy did not have an the start they wanted. They are behind where they need to be if they want to win. McCoy needs good games out of Ryan, Thomas, and Dez if he wants to win. Luckily, Weeden has some key players off this week, but it is still no given. Weeden's players filling in have been playing well. Look for this to be a very very close matchup. McCoy needs to win these games if he wants in the playoffs.

Week 9 Matchup

The Real McCoy (5-3) vs Perpetual Dynasty (6-2)

Week 9 Starters

QB - Matt Ryan : Ryan has a tough matchup against a stingy DAL pass defense this week. Can he remain consistent?

WR- Reggie Wayne- Wayne has been one of the most consistent performers all season. But it would be nice to see him back in the endzone. If McCoy is to win Wayne needs that TD.

WR - Demaryious Thomas : Thomas needs to have another big week for McCoy. Similar to Wayne a td would be huge. Keep throwing that deep ball Peyton!

RB - Ryan Mathews : Mathews is a key in this matchup. When he performs well it gives McCoy a great shot. With Arian Foster playing buffalo this week, Mathews needs a good game. Norv, don't screw it up...give the man the ball.

RB - Rashad Jennings: Jennings has had two solid games in a row. With MJD still out and a matchup against Detroit, Jennings is expected to get plenty of touches. Staying with the theme this week, Jennings needs a td.

TE - Martellus Bennett: Bennett needs double digits this week for McCoy.

FLEX - Dez Bryant: The flex position is still open as it is unsure whether Dez will play this week (sore hip). But it is expected that he will probably play. Can Dez have another good game?

K - Lawrence Tynes: Has been kicking a decent amount of field goals. Hopefully that trend continues.

DEF - San Diego: Good matchup against the Chiefs who have the most TO's in the NFL. However, it is hard to trust the chargers 100%. They need to slow down Charles.

All the odds are against McCoy this week. Perpetual is on a 5 game win streak and seems to be one of the top two teams to beat in the league. However, McCoy has shown he can put up points when his team plays well. They just have not been consistent. Mediocrity this week can not happen for McCoy to win. Big weeks are needed out of everyone and not just a few players. Hopefully McCoy can catch Dynasty on a down week and pull out an unexpected victory. On paper, Dynasty should probably win but that is why they play the games.

Week 8 Matchup

The Real McCoy (4-3) vs Tesus Crusades (4-2-1)

Week 8 Starters

QB - Matt Ryan: Welcome back Matt. Ryan had 4 tds against philly last year. Can he repeat his performance? Or will his production continue to slow down?

WR - Reggie Wayne: Reggie Wayne is finding it harder to connect with Luck as of late. Hopefully a matchup with TEN is all he needs to get back to better production.

WR - Demaryious Thomas: Thomas has a dream matchup against NO this week. It will be a major dissappointment if he does not produce. This big play receiver needs to show up today.

RB - Ryan Mathews: Mathews is another player on McCoy coming off a bye. Hopefully Norv Turner has figured out the Mathews is a great talent who needs to get the ball.

RB - Rashad Jennings: Freshly picked up off the free agent list, McCoy expects Jennings to be a workhorse. No matter what his ypc average is, Jennings should be getting the ball as the Jags do not have many options.

TE - Martellus Bennett: Injuries continue to mount for McCoy as Hernandez suffered a setback and did not make the trip with NE. It has got to be "Next Man Up" this week as Bennett steps into the starting lineup his first week as a member of the Real McCoy.

FLEX - Dez Bryant: Mr. Inconsistent. Dez continues to frusturate owners as he had two great weeks in a row only to put up a dud last week. Playing in a big game against the NYG should hopefully wake him up. In order for him to produce, DAL needs to get him involved early in the game.

K - Lawrence Tynes: Should have opportunities in this weeks matchup against DAL.

DEF - SEA: This was the hardest decision of the week for McCoy. He flip flopped all week between SEA and SD. At the end of the day, the facts are the facts and DET has been a good matchup for defenses this season.

Overall, this is a huge matchup for McCoy not to mention the number 1 anicipated matchup of the week. If McCoy wants to make the playoffs this is a week he needs to win. You have to beat the competition, and Tesus is one of the teams in McCoy's way. New players Bennett and Jennings need to produce as do the WR's this week. McCoy could not have caught Tesus on a better week as Torrey Smith, Ray Rice, and Owen Daniels are all on byes. But, this matchup is no given. Tesus still has some very talented players in his lineup. All it takes are big days from Maclin, Heath Miller, and James Jones and he will be right in the matchup. Another item to note is the 1 PM games are huge for Tesus. He has 7 players playing at 1. Both managers really want to win this week, and should give the fans a great show.

Week 7 Matchup

The Real McCoy (4-2) vs ShowMeYourTDs (3-3)

Week 7 Starters

QB  - Jay Cutler : Cutler has a good matchup against DET and has been playing pretty well this football season. Can he limit turnovers and play to his potential?

WR - Reggie Wayne : Wayne is coming off his worst game of the season. He has another tough matchup against Joe Haden this week. Hopefully the targets continue to be there resulting in production.

WR - Dez Bryant - Dez has had two good back to back weeks. It is still hard to trust him as he has an inconsistent game. But it appears he has taken the #1 WR job in Dallas.

RB - CJ Spiller : Spiller has a great matchup against TEN. However, he continues to split carries with Jackson. If he gets the touches he has shown he can produce on the field. Can he get some big plays this week?

RB - DeAngelo Williams : DeAngelo has a shot to prove to McCoy he is better than he thinks. Not much is expected here, but in fantasy sometimes people surprise.

TE - Aaron Hernandez : Welcome back Aaron! McCoy is very happy for Hernandez to be back in the lineup. He is one of the keys to this team. Can he be effective enough while playing on a gimpy ankle?

FLEX - Kenny Britt : Britt is just getting back into the swing of things. He is coming off a rocky game where he ran wrong routes and dropped passes (sound familiar.....Dez). We have seen his potential in the past and McCoy is hoping he starts this week against bufalo.

K - Lawrence Tynes : Kicking a decent amount of field goals as of late......keep it up

DEF - Oakland : Tough call here for Oakland to start over seattle or pittsburgh. But at the end of the day, Pitt is without Troy and seattle is playing an angry SF team at home. Hopefully this matchup play against the jags pays off.

Overall, McCoy is hoping to get another win this week. It will be very tough as TDs has a good team very capable of putting up a lot of points. Both teams have bye weeks and McCoy has an injured RB as well. Can TDs capitalize? McCoy needs some production out of his RB's if he wants a chance to be in the game.

Week 6 Matchup

The Real McCoy (3-2) vs. Brax To Da Max (1-4)

Week 6 Starters (as of 10/10/12)

QB - Matt Ryan: Ryan must continue his consistent good play in order for McCoy to win games. He has a good matchup this week against the raiders....can he capitalize?

WR- Reggie Wayne: Wayne has been great this season and is coming off his biggest scoring output of the year. However, many times players have down weeks after games like that. He will need to have another good week to beat Brax.

WR - Demaryious Thomas: Thomas needs to cut down on his mistakes. If he can stop fumbling and dropping passes he could be a more dangerous target. McCoy is hoping he continues to develop his chemistry with manning in order to play to the best of his ability.

RB - Ryan Mathews: Ryan is coming off a good week against the saints where his touches were still limited. There is still some uncertainty about his touches every week, but McCoy is excited about his potential.

RB - DeMarco Murray: Murray has a tough matchup this week against the Ravens. While Baltimore's run def is not as good as it once was, it is still no walk in the park. The Cowboys offense is really struggling this football season making it difficult for Murray to be consistent.

TE - Aaron Hernandez: Hernandez has been out since hurting his ankle in week 2. He is a key piece to McCoy's team and he needs him on the field. Will this be the week he returns to the lineup? McCoy hopes so.

FLEX - Dez Bryant: Dez has been very inconsistent as a player this football season. But he is coming off his best performance of the season. He has so much potential but just hasn't been able to put it all together.

K - Lawrence Tynes: Kick some field goals Tynes

DEF - Pittsburgh: Great matchup against Ten this week, but Polamalu and Woodley are both out.

Thursday, October 4, 2012

Week 5 Matchup

The Real McCoy (2-2) vs Weeden and Weep (1-2-1)

The Real McCoy Starters

QB- Matt Ryan: Playing great so far, and needs to keep producing for McCoy to have a chance
WR- Demaryious Thomas: Big play guy, and has a good matchup against NE
WR- Reggie Wayne: One of the leaders in targets this season. Can the targets turn into catches and td's?
RB- Ryan Matthews: Great matchup but will he lead the team in carries?
RB - CJ Spiller: Going against the best DEF in the league. Production will be hard to come by this week.
TE- Dennis Pitta: Hoping to bounce back from a 0 pt performance and back to weeks 1-3 production.
FLEX- Greg Olsen: Has been playing well lately, but has a tough matchup against SEA.
K- Lawrence Tynes: Not much to say here. Go kick some field goals.
DEF- SEA: Does not play as well on the road, but playing a CAR team who has turned the ball over this yr.

Week 4 Matchup

The Real McCoy (2-1) vs Gothams Reckoning (3-0)

Week 4 Starters (as of  9/26/12)

                   McCoy                                                Reckoning
QB             Matt Ryan                                            Tom Brady
WR            Fitz                                                       AJ Green
WR            Dez                                                      Percy Harvin
RB             McFadden                                            Darren Sproles
RB             Murray                                                 AP
FLEX        BJGE                                                    Pettigrew
TE             Pitta                                                      Bennett
K              Tynes                                                    Tucker
DEF          Seattle                                                   Atlanta

McCoy has a tough challenge this week as they take on the 1st place team in the league. Gotham has had good performances each week and is yet to waiver. Reckoning has also made headlines this week with the acquisition of Harvin. This gives them two legitimate number 1 wrs. On the other side, McCoy is without there most consistent wr in Wayne. It will be tough for them to replace him. They will try with BJGE, hoping that he can get into the endzone. McCoy also has a new defense and kicker this week (very exciting...). Reckoning will play two te's this week and is hoping they continue to give him good performances. This is a great matchup on paper with the initial spread most likely in Gotham's favor. Both managers are competitive and hungry for a win. This week is huge for McCoy as week 5 initially looks to be a lost cause.

Week 3 Matchup

The Real McCoy (1-1) vs El Pollo Loco (1-1)

Week 3 Starters

                   McCoy                                                Loco
QB             Matt Ryan                                            Cam Newton

K              Matt Bryant                                           Gould
DEF          Pitt                                                        Jets

McCoy looks to bounce back from a tough loss against Beaus. McCoy had a terrible performance all around and hopes to get a team effort this week. Loco is coming off a good week against Dynasty and is looking to continue his winning ways. McCoy is without Aaron Hernandez as he will be out for awhile with an ankle sprain. Dennis Pitta was signed as a free agent and McCoy is hoping he is ready to go.

Q and A

Stinger here with The Real McCoy
What was the first thought or opinion you had when you heard 
mr. miller was starting a fantasy league?

I was excited to hear that Mr. Miller was starting a league. 
I knew that a league ran by him would definitely be a fun, competitive league
 that holds high standards.
 Also, I knew that Mr. Miller would make sure that everything involved within the league 
(pt system, trades, waivers, etc.) would be highly looked into resulting in a better league. 

How did you choose your team name?

For my team name I really wanted to go back to my roots. 
As a kid growing up one of my many nicknames was McCoy. 
Furthermore, 
The Real McCoy is a known phrase basically meaning I'm the real thing/deal. 
I'm trying to tell other managers that I'm here to work and do all that I can to win. 


What type of manager should people expect?

Other managers should expect a confident manager 
who is going to take every opponent seriously. 
As an experienced fantasy manager, 
I understand that the best team doesn't always win. 
I will make sure to do my research for the draft, any trade offers, and any moves. 
I want all of us managers to feel comfortable contacting each other for trades, 
but at the same time I want to beat you come gameday. 


Do you have any words for your rival?

I'd like to tell manager Demetrius Hill that I'm very exited to be his rival 
and I'm looking forward to both of our matchups.
 I'd also like to say make sure to bring your best come gameday 
because no mercy will be shown even though we are friends. 
You're playing with the big boys now.
