Funk’s Footballers flamed out in week two with a 65-51 loss to the Orlando Scorchers in ahoo! Sports Mayoral Face-Off Fantasy Football League. Funk is challenging big-city mayors from across the country with a $15,000 prize on the line, which Funk would give to the Police Athletic League.

Outside of a good game from Atlanta wide receiver Roddy White, every player on Funk’s team underachieved. The Scorchers were led by the Arizona Cardinals defense, which scored 19 points.

Funk really needs to find another wide receiver. He started Minnesota’s Sidney Green in week two. Funk is in the two percent of team’s starting Green.

Funk also had a game changing running back sitting on his bench: the Baltimore Ravens’ Willis McGahee, who rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns. McGahee was worth 20 points on the week.

Instead of McGahee, Funk started the Philadelphia Eagles’ Brian Westbrook (52 yards rushing and 14 yards receiving) and the Washington Redskins’ Clinton Portis (79 yards rushing and nine yards receiving). Westbrook and Portis combined for only 13 fantasy points.

Funk’s Footballers’ 1-1 record on the season and 146 dropped the team to eighth place. Last week, Funk’s team won a big game against the Tampa Con Leches.

Next week, Funk takes on the fourth place Pittsburgh Proud.
