Week 1 Previews: Part 2

Duke Plays Football? v. Horn Supremacy

The defending league runner-up (Horns) hopes to repeat his success from last season against one of the worst teams in the league (Duke) last season. Nevertheless, this matchup will not be easy. With Michael Bush sidelined, the Horns open up with 2 platoon RBs in its starting lineup, against a Duke team stacked with talent and headed by the incomparable Adrian Peterson. After some perennial crappiness, it may be about time for Duke to actually shine, and that starts in week 1.

Grantsville Bandits v. Steel Curtain

In a battle of former Chronicle sportswriters, league mainstay Brian Kane faces a stiff test in his week 1 opponent - Nick Tylwalk. With the availability of Beanie Wells still up in the air, Brian's typical brashness may get a comeuppance at the hands of Tylwalk: a true veteran of fantasy football. With a stout running backs corp headlined by keepers Mendenhall and Greene, Tylwalk should start Coastals' post-Harrison era in style.
