Depleted Receivers Hinder Girlie Men
The Girlie Men Express suffered its first loss of the Frozen Tundra Fantasy Football season, as the Kirksville Vikings took advantage of a hobbled Girlie receiving corps.
The Vikings outscored the Express by 29 points in week three, on their way to a 173.3-152.2 victory.
Wide Receiver Brandon Lloyd missed the third-week matchup with the Vikings, with a Grade-1 tear of his groin. Tight End Desmond Clark was also unable to play with an ankle injury. The Express acquired Johnny Morton to fill the receiver role.
The Girlie Men injury bug wasn't limited to receivers only. Running back Domanick Davis was injured early in the weekend matchup, and NFL MVP Steve McNair suffered a bruised sternum on the field.
Running back Ahman Green led the Girlie Men attack. His solid performance, however, was overshadowed by both Warrick Dunn and Randy Moss of the Vikings. Dunn tallied 25.4 points, and Moss racked up 30.9 for Kirksville.
In order to alleviate some of the squad's injury problems, the Girlie Men have signed running back/return specialist Jamal Robertson and quarterback David Carr.
The Girlie Men Express (2-1) will seek to rebound from its first loss of the season when the squad faces the Kirksville Cornfed (1-2) in week four. The Cornfed are riding a two-game losing streak, despite boasting the third-highest scoring player in the league, quarterback Payton Manning.
