Fantasy Fiascoes: Week 4

Every week we set our fantasy lineups, and we expect the guys we invested highly in to produce accordingly. Every week someone lets us down. It’s rare to find that perfect week, in which all your starters are lights out and you win by 50 points. It’s infuriating to lose because your stud players just don’t show up. For purposes of this article, I will avoid listing players who had bad weeks due to injury. With that said, let’s vent about the fiascoes from this week.

Quarterbacks

Drew Brees

Drew Brees scored 37, 21, and 46 points in Weeks 1-3 respectively. Then, with a chance to break the all-time passing yardage record, he gets to play the lowly Giants. He comes up with 8 goddamn points. Zero TDs and 217 yards. The good news is that’s going to be his worst game of the year. The bad news is he fucking blew it for your team this week. He gets a pass because I assume he will get back to being awesome, but this really sucked.

Aaron Rodgers

He put up 21 points, so it wasn’t the worst performance ever, but that just doesn’t cut it for a guy that was drafted as the QB1 in every league. He was playing at home against a terrible Bills team and he finished the week as QB20. The League has transformed, especially this year, so it takes a solid 30 point performance to crack the top 10 most of the time. Obviously you have to play him every week, but this week was a little disappointing.

Running Backs

Jordan Howard

Good Lord. 11 carries for 25 yards. That’s it. I’ll even do the math for you – that’s 2.5 points. Tarik Cohen got more touches and performed much better this week. Howard was a 2nd round pick this year and he has been a disaster so far. The worst part is the bears scored 143 points in the game, and their lead back had 25 yards. Infuriating.

LeSean McCoy

This is the last time McCoy will be on this list, because I just don’t expect anything from him anymore. The Bills are terrible and McCoy doesn’t get enough touches. He has 84 rush yards and 41 receiving yards the entire year. That’s like a mediocre game for Alvin Kamara. McCoy is not startable going forward.

Wide Receivers

Demaryius Thomas

I’m not mad at you, I’m just disappointed. He hasn’t topped 63 yards in a game this year and he only has one TD. He’s getting a decent amount of targets, but doesn’t have more than six catches in a game. He’s just average now with Case Keenum at the helm. He will probably have a few random big games, but you will never know when they are coming. He’s just a WR3 at this point. If he has a big game, try to trade him. I’m over it.

Odell Beckham

Beckham makes a return trip to this column. He’s got to be the most infuriating player in the league. The argument could be made that he’s the most talented WR in the league. And through 4 weeks, he has two games with 60 yards or less, and he hasn’t found the end zone. He looks like he his back to bitching and moaning on the sidelines because things aren’t going his way. Hopefully he can find a way to keep his cool, or a kicking net might whip his ass again.

Tight Ends

Rob Gronkowski

The Patriots looked good again. Gronk did not. He was TE21 this week. He’s scored nine points or less for three straight weeks. If you drafted him early, your team probably sucks. I can’t reasonably explain how this happens to a player as talented as him.

Pretty Much Everyone Else

TEs stink. They are impossible to predict and they cost you match ups. It seems like every week my TE gets 7 points and I play against some random son of a bitch who goes off. This week Geoff Swaim was TE8, Darren Fells was TE10, and Antonio Gates outscored Kyle Rudolph. Good luck figuring this mess out. If you don’t have one of the top 3-4 guys, just start anyone. That advice is better than any I can logically try to give you.

  • This means it’s a good train for working on general conditioning of the body.
    It’s necessary to grasp that no one train will result in larger looking shoulders.

    That’s why shoulder day typically gets a dedicated fitness center session just for itself.
    Positioned on the again of your shoulders, the posterior or rear delts oppose the anterior deltoid.
    In order to construct muscle mass, it is necessary
    to incorporate the principle of progressive overload into your coaching.
    This means to progress your exercises steadily over time as
    you adapt and get stronger. You can do that by adjusting reps, sets, weight
    and other variables to keep challenging your muscles.

    While yes, utilizing challenging weights will assist set off progress, you are additionally
    extra doubtless to make use of different muscle teams
    to get the load shifting, which leads us to our subsequent mistake.
    There are 4 muscular tissues in your rotator cuff, five in your shoulder girdle, and three deltoid heads.

    That’s a lot that can go wrong if you don’t ensure everything is primed and ready to go.
    It targets a different part of the deltoid than the frontal
    elevate. The medial deltoids are the aspect part of the shoulder muscle
    and are particularly worked through the lateral elevate.

    These dumbbell arm exercises are the most effective within the enterprise for building each muscle of the upper arm.
    Leap up on two parallel bars or gymnastics rings with your palms
    dealing with inward and your arms straight (A). In this text, we cowl seven of the best bodybuilding again workout routines that will help you construct
    mass, power, and definition. Whether you’re a beginner or an skilled lifter,
    these workout routines will provide the muse for a well-rounded back exercise.
    In my work with skilled baseball groups over the previous twenty years, I’ve seen firsthand how well-intentioned stretching can generally do more
    hurt than good. However over time, mobility
    specialists realized this stretch was making the shoulder joint excessively unfastened and unstable, rising damage threat somewhat than preventing it.

    Each department of the armed forces uses a simple bodyweight
    exercise to maintain everybody in peak physical situation — they
    clearly perceive the benefits of jumping jacks! While exercises like
    squats, pushups, and pullups have their own advantages, jumping jacks can take a workout to a complete completely different stage.
    If you’ve simply began resistance training with dumbbells, you might be unsure about
    what is going to work best.
    Finally, your posterior deltoids (or rear deltoids) sit in the again of your shoulders where they aid shoulder extension—moving your arms
    backwards. Analysis has proven that the staple transfer of old-school muscle-building packages just like the Blueprint to Mass hits both the front and medial delts more than other
    dumbbell press variations. Plus, many lifters merely find it extra pleasant to their shoulder
    joints. Our shoulder workout is designed to add muscle mass to all sides of your shoulders and makes
    use of both low and high-rep sets to maximize energy and muscle progress.

    Regardless of why it occurs, a stronger
    shoulder can deal with the abuse rather more effectively
    than a weak one. Massive, broad shoulders are some of the defining options in terms of men’s aesthetics.

    After the routine, we’ll go through every little thing else you
    have to know, together with necessary programming ideas, coaching variables, and ways to proceed progressing.

    This negates the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC), which suggests you’ll
    have to work tougher to get the load moving every time. This is an effective train for rising upper
    body pressing energy. Nonetheless, many exercisers flip them
    into a glorified lat rowing train by using too much weight and letting their elbows drop.
    This variation makes it much tougher to cheat and ensures your rear delts and external rotators do all of the work.

    Nonetheless, the shoulders are actively involved in several upper body exercises (bench press, push up, dips, and so forth.) so
    it is possible to get away with as soon as per week relying in your routine.
    This is most likely going because of the fact that one motion that the rear delts are used for is external rotation of the arms, such
    as when you turn your arms to use a neutral grip. Though the variations
    had been significant, there weren’t big differences within the muscle
    activity of the rear deltoid or infraspinatus based mostly
    on the completely different hand grips used. In other words, utilizing the
    neutral grip allowed for a moderate enhance in muscle activity of the rear delts
    and infraspinatus. This may be due to the reality that
    one movement of the rear deltoid is to rotate the arm out like what occurs
    whenever you flip your arms out to take a impartial grip.

    While the anterior deltoid is often the most well-developed
    deltoid head, the posterior deltoid is often the least developed.
    Just as you’d get bored eating the same dinner every day, your muscles become bored with doing
    the identical workout routines. If you don’t problem your muscle tissue with new movements,
    your progress will slow down and could even grind to
    a halt. Place your dumbbells so that they’re according to your hips and lie
    again on the ground.
    In addition, cable row is certainly one of the handiest corrective workouts
    that help compensate for poor posture and shoulder dysfunction.
    Now, it’s a reasonably simple exercise, and anybody can do it effectively, making it ideal for dimension and strength gains.
    You can use various attachments with the cable that
    may hit virtually each muscle group a method or another. As long as you train these,
    you’ll be hitting each head of the shoulder muscle group.
    The video under does not use a bench for stability, but you’ll have the ability to
    see the range of motion you need to be utilizing.

    If you mentally take a glance at out of your coaching classes, it’s no shock your muscle development has
    stalled. Hold your shoulder blades depressed and pulled back to prevent your higher traps from taking over.
    Focus on squeezing the delts to initiate each train to hone in in your target muscle group.

    Try to go progressively heavier each week, however don’t drop below 6-8 reps.
    Neglecting the facet or rear delts is a standard reason for imbalanced or underdeveloped  shoulders.
    Understanding the location and performance of each part of your shoulder muscle tissue will allow you
    to identify and handle your weak factors and promote
    balanced shoulder development. But your shoulders won’t benefit from lifting
    an excessive quantity of weight and swinging your upper body to lift the dumbbells.

    If you’re battling underdeveloped shoulders, lower your weights and pay higher consideration to your form.

    The shoulder press, or overhead press, is
    often ignored in a muscle-building program in favor of shoulder isolation exercises.

    Because shoulder urgent is extremely fatiguing, you’re already urgent typically when coaching the chest.

    Additional, you can’t isolate any of the three muscle heads to maximize development.
    In this exercise, you’ll do them earlier than the opposite two, while you have a bit more vitality
    within the tank. Feel free to rearrange the order of the single-joint
    moves primarily based on your weaknesses, although.
    If you decide your delts to be pretty balanced,
    simply rotate the order of the single-joint movements from one exercise to the subsequent.

    I’ll additionally show you how to make your dumbbell workout
    routines simpler for building muscle. In this publish, you’re going to get a shoulder workout that you are able to do with dumbbells solely.

    This consists of the legendary Dave Tate., founding father of EliteFTS With private bests
    that include a 930-pound back squat, a 610-pound bench press,
    and a 740-pound deadlift. This is an superior dumbbell train to
    make sure you hit the whole triceps.
    Some examples of variations embrace single-arm raises, chest-supported
    facet raises, and dumbbell lateral to-front raises.
    It’s a variation of the standard overhead press, but with a neutral grip instead
    of a pronated (overhand) or supinated (underhand) grip.
    The dumbbell shrug is a superb train for building shoulder energy, bettering posture, and relieving neck and shoulder pain. There are many variations of bent-over lateral elevate you could add to your
    exercise routine, and all have their own unique benefits.
    They are performing the exercise while the seated shoulder press is a stricter version than standing and prevents
    dishonest the burden upward using momentum generated by the legs.

    It activates all major shoulder areas, excelling for higher body
    stability and conditioning. The fantastic factor about the Band Pull-Apart lies in its direct focusing on of
    the rear deltoids by way of horizontal abduction. As you pull the band apart, the rear deltoids are
    activated to manage and execute the motion. This train ensures that these often-overlooked muscular tissues receive
    the attention they need for balanced shoulder growth.
    The cable twisting overhead press is another effective single-arm cable shoulder train. It is
    a really effective shoulder press variation that works
    the anterior delt.
    This is the following best exercise should you don’t have entry
    to a reverse pec deck. You can mimic a similar motion when bent over parallel to the floor
    by holding dumbbells. Treat the reverse fly like a relaxed swinging movement to reduce the involvement of bigger muscles just like the rhomboids and traps.
    The rear deltoid offers a 3D look and will make your physique pop
    when looking from the aspect. Rear delts are liable for
    shoulder extension and horizontal abduction [1].

    This train has a badass name and looks pretty cool,
    too—and it may be a fair higher motion on your shoulders
    and core than you’d expect. This isn’t all flash; it is a novel
    urgent challenge thanks to the longer levers than conventional implements.

    Along together with your seated place, you will
    also remove any probability at cheating your shoulders by starting with the load on the ground, so
    that you’re lifting from a useless stop place. From here, reinitiate the lift
    and squeeze the shoulders as hard as you can to get the dumbbell to just past shoulder peak along with your arm
    parallel to the ground. Lifting lighter is the single
    biggest change I made in my shoulder coaching and you’ll simply see that it’s dramatically elevated my shoulder
    dimension. Aim for between 8-10 reps per set (unless
    said otherwise) and take no longer than 60 seconds relaxation in between units.

    This train is healthier for targeting the deltoids more specifically.
    As A Result Of you are sat down, your core doesn’t need to work as
    onerous to stabilise you. This means, you won’t be succesful of carry as heavy in a seated dumbbell
    press than a standing one, however it does assist
    to attain muscle mass progress in the deltoids more specifically.

    It’s involved in further features including complicated actions, like lifting
    your arm and rotating it when your elbow is at a 90-degree angle.
    What’s more, I’m going to deal with the most requested questions associated to deltoids and shoulder exercises.
    I’m additionally going to give you the simplest workouts and workout ideas in your deltoids, regardless of the tools you’ve available.
    Whether Or Not you’ve a full health club or just your physique weight,
    I’ve got a deltoid exercise for you. Although the deltoids won’t be your top precedence
    when it comes to muscle building and power training, it’s critical
    that you don’t overlook them.
    You’ll be in a position to work with heavier weights right here, given the form and give consideration to the eccentric portion. So please, for the profit
    of your delts, leave your ego on the door.
    Focus more on driving tension into the muscle you’re truly trying to develop and the outcomes shall be remarkable.
    Whereas this is an effective way to construct
    larger and stronger shoulders overall, it
    tends to not work so properly if you need
    to increase the dimensions and power of your delts specifically.

    Lighter weights are the real key to getting bigger deltoid muscles a lot faster, and
    finally to having the power to lift more in your heavy compound lifts
    done with a barbell. If you like to coach chest, you most likely have already got well-developed entrance delts.

    Concentration curls are often used in path of the top of a biceps
    exercise routine after the heavy workouts. It provides you a great
    pump and is a wonderful finisher for an excellent exercise.
    Focus curls used to be hailed supreme for constructing an excellent biceps peak.
    Regardless of whether you curl each dumbbells concurrently or
    separately, make sure you’re not using upper-body momentum to swing them up.
    Cheat curls permit you to use heavier weights to overload your biceps, a recipe for muscle progress, and they might help
    you blast by way of sticking points and plateaus. Entrance and heart on the higher arm, your biceps are one of the seen muscle tissue
    and sometimes the primary ones folks discover. When someone flexes – you guessed it
    – it’s often the biceps they’re displaying off.

    Then, when you begin your exercise you want to begin some high-rep sets of the primary train using
    very gentle weights, and even no weights at all.
    This will get the shoulder used to the actions it’s about to do so you’re not starting your first
    set chilly. Just like lateral raises, you’ll need to go on the
    lighter side of issues for the weight! Going too heavy means you may
    find yourself using momentum to ‘swing’ the load up, as an alternative of fulling utilizing the anterior delts to drive
    the load up. The hottest approach to perform frontal
    raises is utilizing a pair of dumbbells, both collectively
    or one arm at a time, alternating reps between arms.
    The lateral deltoids are situated on the facet of your upper arm.
