Top Points ($10)
You've got to dig deep!You've GOT to dig deep!
Well, Deep Pockets certainly dug deep, as his team finished with the highest point total in Week 2 (116.10 points), just one week after putting up the lowest point total (70.72) to open the season. I guess it just goes to show you that just because you're down, doesn't mean you're out, especially when you have comeback-artist Eli Manning at the helm. DP benefitted greatly from Eli's 21st career come-from-behind victory, as Manning put up a career-best 510 passing yards (including 3 TDs) enroute to 32.20 fantasy points on the day. Deep Pockets also had a weapon on the sideline opposite Eli, as WR Vincent Jackson went for 128 yards and a TD (18.80 points) against a struggling (and a bit banged-up) Giants secondary.
Deep Pockets will look to continue his climb up the ranks in Week 3 when he faces off with Raider Nation, Top Points winner of Week 1.
Current Winnings for Deep Pockets: $10
Unique Achievement: "The 'Yakkity-Yak, Longest Single Play YAC' Award" ($5)
Who knew finding the winner of this Unique Achievement would be so uniquely difficult?
My, goodness!
You would think a simple Google search would have done the trick, but, "NoooOOOooo. Let's make things as difficult as POSSible!"
Not only that, it was extremely tough to tell which player actually had the longest YAC even when the sources (see below) were located.
But, I was able to come to a conclusion, so without further ado...

Update: Bad Beat Award ($30)
We have a new leader for the Bad Beat Award!
Although he still had a chance at winning his Week 2 matchup on Monday night (especially when WR Roddy White got into the endzone), Blood Sweat & Beers ended up losing a heartbreaker to Raider Nation by a final of 97.90 to 100.14, a margin of 2.24 points.
This could turn out to be a silver lining for BSB, as he currently sits at 0-2 and is at the bottom of the standings (although, admittedly, he probably should have won in Week 1 against the failing Mr. Carlson's Class).
Watch out, though. Blood Sweat & Beers could be looking to shake things up a bit with his team in the near future. Do I smell a trade analysis post on the horizon? Mmm hmm, I think I do.
