Falcons owner JOHNNNNN CENNAAAAA has found a lot of success within the League of Awesome (Reborn), but these last two seasons have been painful for the man that commands HUSTLE. LOYALTY. and RESPECT from his employees and peers alike.

The morning after the incident commonly referred to as "DEZ BRYANT IS A FUCKING BITCH", Mr. Cena started experiencing an odd feeling. Everywhere he went, it seemed like all eyes were on him. Out at a restaraunt? He was getting asked for autographs. Taking a piss in a rest stop? Getting asked for autographs. This was all very weird for Cena. Through all his success nobody recognized him, but now... with his failure, he had all the attention. It seemed too suspicious.

Cena went to his doctor, who hadn't seen him in years. This trip to the doctor is when Cena found out that he had a lethal case of "theycanseemeitis". John was shocked when he found out and stormed out of the office screaming, "YOU CANT SEE ME. YOU CANT SEE ME!"

John is now Senile and the doctors only give him two more years to live. The Falcons organization are determined to right their wrongs -- it's their fault that Mr. Cena can be seen, after failing to win a SB for two straight seasons. The only thing for them to do is win a SB bowl in one, or both, of his final seasons...

SO THEY ACQUIRED ODELL BECKHAM JR.

Fantasy Football is a fickle game of ups and downs... but mostly downs. The League of Awesome has its clear cut top tier players, so many that every team in your league probably has one, maybe even two -- but after that intial layer of awesome come the mid-tier guys that will truly decide the fate of your league. You don't need to tell you to start Rob Gronkowski, Julio Jones, Thomas Rawls, or Todd Gurley... but I will tell you the the mid and low level names to watch out for.

We are officially halfway through the 1st season of LOA ReBorn, and there are plenty of underrated studs to keep an eye on. Here's my Love/Hate list for week 9 in the LOA.

Quarterback Love:
Aaron Rodgers: He's not in the top 10 for yards but he's top 5 in Touchdowns and with only 5 interceptions on the year he's been consistent at driving the ball down field. Since the change of guard in Carolina the Panthers have gone 0 for 2 and I'm not confident they can stop the Green Bay Attack. My must start QB for Week 9.

Case Keenum: He's definitely not the star of the offense but his 13 Touchdown to 0 interception ratio is immaculate and he's going up against a struggling Vikings team that does have a good front 7. Gurley will get his but Keenum might be the one getting the touchdown's in this one.

Matt Ryan: He's averaging more than 1 interception a game but he's got 20 touchdowns on the year and is top 10 in yards. Going against the #18 passing defense in the league and his new weapon Golden Tate to play opposite of Julio, Ryan should still have a solid day.



Quarterback Hate:
Drew Brees: More interceptions than Touchdowns. Playing the number one pass defense in the league. This one is a no brainer.

Brock Osweiller: Playing the #5 passing defense in the league with captain Vontae Davis having just recorded 3 interceptions in week 7, this could spell disaster for the lobster man.

Sam Bradford: Also more interceptions than touchdowns and has no real receiving threat to bail him out of the terrible positions he often gets himself into. The Cowboys are also a top 10 Pass Defense.



Running Back Love:
Melvin Gordon: We've seen flashes of red zone brilliance from Gordon this season and I think we'll see it again this week against a Bears Defense that ranks 25th against the rush. I predict a 2 touchdown performance from Gordon... my running back start of the week for week 9.

Demarco Murray/Ryan Matthews: Running back committees make it really hard to dicpher who to choose in a backfield but the Eagles have made it very easy by having two very good running backs. If you own either back, start them, if you own both, start both. The Dallas D just dumped Greg Hardy and I'm projecting a big game here due to Philly's lack of a passing attack (see: QB Hate)

Duke Johnson: The Bucs defense is atrocious. Johnson lends his hand well in the receiving game and the Giants are without Odell Beckham. PPR gold.



Running Back Hate:
Latavius Murray: The Raiders may be a top 5 rushing attack but with Cam Heyward on the front 4, and the speed of Shazier in the next level to close the edge and gaps quickly, I think Murray will be tamed. There are bettere options out ther this week.

Adrian Peterson: The Vikings offense is struggling as much as their defense, and even AP can't create magic by himself against this ferocious front line in St. Louis.



Wide Receiver Love:
Brice Butler: The Eagles have a cellar dwelling defense and Brice Butler has looked brilliant recently. Being shut down by the Legion of Boom is no knock on Butler and I think he returns with another magical game against Philadelphia. He's my must start Receiver for week 9.

Martavis Bryant: A physical specimen on a high power offense. Big Ben likes to force the ball in his direction enough that he's bound to come down with a couple big ones.

Mike Evans: In a game between two teams battling for the worst record in the LOA, Evans is sure to see some lob streaking looks in this one. Even with Haden making his debut for the Giants, Evans is bound to find some open space.



Wide Receiver Hate:
Anyone rostered by the New York Giants or New England Patriots.

Tight End Love:
Jordan Cameron: The Falcons passing defense has been suspect and definitely shown vulnerability in the past. Jordan Cameron is the best receiving weapon the 49ers have and he could easily find himself some open space down the seams in this one.

LaDarius Green: A redzone monster in San Diego, wouldn't be surprised to see him have a TD touchdown on a long pass.



Tight End Hate:
Rob Grownkowski: Looking at a suspension for illegal Cheese doping.

Defense Love:
Denver Broncos: I think the talent on defense here far outweighs the talent on the Colts' offense. I think Andrew Luck will be picking grass from his helmet all game.

Defense hate:
Atlanta Falcons: Don't let last weeks shut out of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fool you. This defense still needs work, but Vic Beasley Jr. is coming along nicely.

Indianapolis Colts: I think the top 5 passing attack will find holes against the top 5 passing defense in this one.
