Fantasy Fix: Monday Morning Reign - 5 Up/5 Down

Week 2 of the NFL season was like a visit to Bizarro World in the old Superman comics. Those not familiar with the term please note what the scholarly website Uncyclopedia says, ”Bizarro World is a situation or setting which is weirdly inverted or opposite of expectations.” In Bizarro World, Bizarro Coke tastes like Pepsi, Bizarro USA is Canada and Bizarro Tom Cruise is a heterosexual, black orthodox Jew. In the current Bizarro Fantasy Football World, Philip Rivers plays like Dan Marino, Eddie Royal is Randy Moss and James Starks is OJ Simpson without the murderous rampage. If you suffered through an unearthly Sunday, you're not alone. Let's take a look at what happened yesterday in the Fantasy Football Bizarro World.

Here’s 5 up/5 down from Sunday number two.

Five Up

1. Sunday's Crown Royal Reign On Player of the Day: Aaron Rodgers, 34.90 Fantasy Points. Rodgers embarrassed the Redskins in Green Bay's 38-20 win, completing 34-of-42 passes for 480 yards and four touchdowns. With all apologies to Christopher Reeve and Cam Newton, Rodgers is Superman. Have you seen Clark Kent and Rodgers together?

2. Michael Vick, 33.22 points: Vick completed 23-of-36 passes for 428 yards with two touchdowns passing, one on the ground and not a cute, fluffy, lovable puppy was harmed all day.

3. Marshawn Lynch, 31.50 points: Lynch had 28 carries for 98 yards, three touchdowns and was in full on Beastmode. Get him some Skittles because he gets the Jaguars next.

4. Philip Rivers, 29.86 points: Rivers completed 36-of-47 passes for 419 yards with three touchdowns. Welcome to Bizarro World. Rivers outscored Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. This is why your humble-but-nonetheless-handsome Guru told you to wait on drafting a QB.

5. Eddie Royal, 27 points: Royal was king of the wideouts on Sunday as he caught seven passes for 90 yards with three touchdowns. Add him if you need depth, but Royal was likely king for a day.

Five Down

1. Anquan Boldin, 0.70 fantasy points: After putting up 27 points a week ago, Boldin was held to one catch for seven yards. The Seahawks Richard Sherman was in Boldin's face, hip pocket and most likely his nightmares after this one.

2. David Wilson, 1.70 points: The good news is Wilson actually scored positive points this week. The bad news is Wilson had just 17 yards on nine carries. I actually started Wilson on one of my teams Sunday. Can I blame it on the bath salts?

3. Maurice Jones-Drew, 2.80 points: MJD was MIA with 27 yards on 10 carries then went down with an ankle injury. Unless Tim Tebow is resurrected in Jacksonville and lays hands on Jones-Drew it's going to be another lost season for the Jags.

4. Larry Fitzgerald, 3.30 points: 'Ol Fitzy limped around on a gimpy groin for 2 catches for 33 yards. If Fitzgerald is your WR1, it may be time to a little rosterbating and find a backup. I hear Eddie Royal is available.

5. Tony Gonzalez, 3.30 points: The Falcons score 31 points and Gonzalez only catches four passes for 33 yards. That's what we call a ticker-tease.
