Pradley Family Football

It's a good week to be a dad, I guess. Both Brittany and I lost to our father-in-laws, giving them control of 1st and 2nd place, while Colton picked up another surprising win to move into playoff position for the first time this season. And just like that, we're halfway through the regular season; lets take a look at our playoff picture currently. B Y E W E E K B O Y Z (Greg, Zane):  First and second place in the regular season earn a bye week for the first round of the playoffs, and currently Zane and Greg hold these positions. The interesting thing here is that total points decide tiebreakers, and teams 3 and 4 both have higher totals than 1 and 2, allowing them to jump these teams without necessarily having better records. For now though, these guys are the top of the mountain. Contenders (Perezoso, Chunky Salsa, Travis) : Sporting records of 4-3, these teams have all put a 2 game gap between themselves and the final playoff spot, making them somewhat safe for the t...

Normally I would fill this first paragraph with some general observation about things that happened in the NFL this week, but for the first time all season I basically didn't watch any games at all, and I have no idea who even won them. The NFL is funny in that when I look over our scores I can't help but wonder how some of these things could even happen. How was Michael Thomas held to 1 point in a game where NO scored 52? How did Ellington end up with 0 touches on a team that hasn't run the ball all season? How did Davante Adams score 11 points when Rodgers passed for only 18 yards? Ok, I might have a decent guess on the Green Bay one. Recaps Travis's Team(94.32) > Rodgers That 🏈💪(68.62) What a weird week for Travis's team. Despite playing four dudes who combined for 4.4 points (!!) he cruised to a near 30 point victory on the backs of Houston's DEF, Hyde, and Mike Evans. This was a down week for many of Rodgers That's players, but it ...

Welcome to the new and hopefully improved Commissioner Commentary. Yahoo message boards have been ditched in favor of a format where I can post things consistently and edit my embarrassing spelling and grammar. Man, what a brutal week for the NFL's skill players. Jordy, Bilal Powell, Kelce, Clay, Bradford, Diggs, and the NY Giants entire receiving corps left their prospective games this week. I almost put Terrance West in there too, but I don't know if he qualifies as a skill player  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Recaps Chunky Salsa(125.36) > travis's Team(74.14) Chunky Salsa is back in first, and claims the high score of the week with a ridiculous 3 TDs in 4 catches from Hopkins and career game from Melvin Gordon. Travis got a good game from Dak, but 0 points from a RB who didn't practice all week and -3 from Houston's defense (tip to the rest of league: don't play defenses vs KC. They're crazy), so this game was never particularly close. The only complaint Chunky ca...

With 4 weeks in the books, we're officially 1/4 of the way through the Fantasy season. What does that mean? As badly as your team may have done, or as much as you may be dominating the league, there is a lot of football left to be played, and many of the people on your rosters today will be sitting on waivers in the coming weeks. These middle weeks are often when breakout players are picked up that win championships, so don't be afraid to drop people that are underperforming just because you drafted them.  So uh, lets do some recaps.  Colton's Team(86.44) > travis's team (82.08)  Lets get things started with the most exciting matchup of the week. This game was decided by only 4 points, and swung from a clear travis victory to Colton's first win of the season through the final 2 games of the week. A huge 20 point game from the Seattle Defense brought Colton's chances back to life Sunday night before a measly 35 yards from T. Hill nailed the coffin shut on Mond...

Um.. what? Seriously. What a ridiculous week 3 for the NFL. The Jets shut down Miami, Case Keenum tore the Bucs apart, Brisset put up a huge game, and the Ravens lost 44-7 in London. In Fantasy football, things were a bit more normalized. A winless team picked up its first victory, and we're down to just one undefeated squad (hint: it isn't mine). Tonight is the night for waivers and despite relatively few big names popping up this week, there was one very  interesting  drop in our league last week. That's all I'll say on that. Anyway, on to the Recaps! Greg's Grand Team (123.5) > Chunky Salsa(113.04) There's a new league leader in town, and his boring name is Greg's Grand Team. Todd Gurley almost killed Chunky Salsa's chances before the week had even really started with a 34 point explosion on Thursday, but big games from a healthier Jordan Howard and Jordy Nelson put life back into this matchup. Unfortunately for Chunky, Tom Brady ...

A crazy real life week has lead me to writing this one the night before our week 3 sunday games, but here we are. For now, lets pretend that Todd Gurley didn't score 33 points against me on Thursday. Quick notes:  - we got some more team names, and they even have emojis! - 6/10 teams make playoffs in this league, so don't worry if you haven't won a game yet - waiver priority order does not reset each week, so if you don't see players you want, you can hold onto your pick and then get guys once they're free agents. R E C A P S: Chunky Salsa (116.66) > Perezoso Majestuoso (88.58) Starting with the marquee matchup of the week, the highest scoring teams of week 1 fought it out for first place. The KC Chiefs gave Chunky Salsa a huge edge when Kelce and Hunt combined for 40 points, and ultimately Amari Cooper and Desean Jackson followed the Perezoso way by lazily throwing together 7 points. Majestuoso made a great pickup this week in the Baltimore defense, w...

Welp, week 1 is in the books as one of the lowest scoring weeks I've ever seen. Only two teams broke 100 points and many were below 80. If you're freaking out because your team looks awful this morning, try not to sweat it too much, most of these players will bounce back. A couple of notes from me, and then onto the recaps: Today is the day to make your player selections on waivers, as they will process tonight. You can still pick up free agents the rest of the week, but now is the time to go after the breakout players from this week that you really want. Team names! You guys should consider setting them. It's fun. Matchups: - Perezoso Majestuoso (105) > Colton's Team (87) In the highest scoring matchup up the week, Perezoso was able to shake off bad games from Powell and Jimmy Graham with a great first performance from his rookie RB and a huge game from Diggs who I'm sure is just as surprised as we are that Bradford can actually throw the ball. Colto...
