Fantasy Football Corner

In week 3, five of the top 10 fantasy quarterbacks in standard-scoring leagues were Jake Locker, Geno Smith, Christian

Ponder, EJ Manuel and Brian Hoyer. Meanwhile, Jason Snelling, Ahmad Bradshaw, Johnathan Franklin and Bilal Powell

cracked the top 10 for running backs. Not a typical fantasy week.

Projections for week 4:

Heisman Watch (Week 4): As we enter week three of the College Football season, many players are out

showing their talent and helping their teams win games with the building hype of potential

National Championship contender teams. ESPN’s top five candidates for the Heisman Trophy

candidates, listed from number one to ten; The Oregon Ducks “Flying Hawaiian” QB, Marcus

Mariota, takes the number one spot in the Heisman Trophy Watch after throwing up 59

points against Tennessee back to back Virginia the past two weeks.

Clemson’s QB, Tajh Boyd, takes the spotlight as number two after his successful

season so far. Previous Heisman Trophy winner, Johnny Manziel, stands his ground at

number three on the Heisman Watch.

The number four spot is taken by Louisville’s QB, Teddy Bridgewater, who lead the

Cardinals to a big win and heart breaking lost to the Florida Gators last year in the All State

Sugar Bowl. Finally, The Tide’s QB, AJ McCarron, after a big win against Texas A&M he has

secured himself a slot in the run too. Numbers 6 through 10: Todd Gurley (Georgia, RB),

Braxton Miller (Ohio State, QB), Jameis Winston (Florida State, QB), Brett Hundley (UCLA, QB)

and finally, Sammy Watkins (Clemson, WR).

I’ve put together my own “Heisman Watch” based on watching players, stats,

overall performance and leadership. After throwing at least one touchdown every game since

his freshman year, the number one spot goes to Oregon’s, Marcus Mariota. Marcus has been

extremely successful so far at Oregon so far. After pounding 59 points against Virginia and

Tennessee, let’s see how much longer they will keep pounding 59 points against over teams.

The Ducks have bye week this weekend, so rest that arm up Mariota. Number two-spot goes

to Clemson’s Tajh Boyd. After a big win in Death Valley over the Dawgs, Tajh has shown his

true talent and skills.

The number 3 spot belongs to Georgia’s, Todd Gurley. After a rough start to

Clemson, the Dawgs pulled back on track to take down the South Carolina Gamecocks last

weekend. Big win for the Dawgs and they roll on to week four facing North Texas, which

should be a blow out. Johnny Manziel had a great game against Alabama, and he

proved to the nation that Alabama is possible to beat, but Manziel should have

performed as well as he did in the first half, and maybe A&M would have been able

to beat the Tide. SO congrats Manziel, you’ve earned the number four spot.

Florida State’s freshman QB, Jameis Winston, has caught the nation’s eye

and is a very talented QB. I am giving him the number 5 slot because he has a

bright future at Florida State and I am looking forward to seeing him progress

throughout his time at FSU. Numbers 6 through 10 go to: AJ McCarron (Alabama,

QB), Teddy Bridgewater (Louisville, QB), Braxton Miller (Ohio State, QB),

De’Anthony Thomas (Oregon, RB) and Sammy Watkins (Clemson, WR).

HEALTH LOVING HOMECOMING

Homecoming is tomorrow and if

it may seem that there is no reason to go

then go plainly for your health. Dancing

bums, surprising amounts of calories, and

basically getting out of the house for

hours, this homecoming(8pm -11pm),

every heart rate will be going up and

calories will be burning. Depending on the

weight of a person, calorie loss may be

more or less per hour than others. The

more a person weighs the more time it will

take to lose calories, but it is still

happening only slower than in others. In

general no matter the weight, a person will

burn between 100-400 calories per hour

dancing. Not only does dancing do the

trick, but the loud music and people around

will make heart rates increase. Anything a

person does is only as good as they make

it. When dancing or with friends, as long

as you are enjoying yourself, your body is

releasing endorphins. Endorphins are your

body’s go to for anything. When in pain

endorphins act as a painkiller and when

you are happy or feeling good endorphins

make that feeling stronger. In a deep

workout there is a most common sense of

relief partway through. That relief is

endorphins kicking in to help out the body

and keep it going. Going to homecoming

this year may increase happiness, health as

well as memories. Whether good or bad

you will certainly go home with memories

to look back on. Just by dancing with

friends support, your school and your

body, rather than sitting at home lazy with

a bag of chips or going to other parties,

Homecoming only comes four times out of

an average person’s lifespan of 30,000

days.
