This was the only date that everyone who responded to the poll was available for. Hopefully everyone is free that evening, and if not, try to let me know in the poll next time. I adjusted the time a little to help people (like me and Colton) who have young kids to get to bed in the evening. Draft Order Barbara Reese Steven ??? Brian Greg Colton Michael P Zane Michael T And here's our randomized draft order. Nick has decided not to join us this year so I'm working on a replacement, which explains the ??? in the 4th position. Rule Changes Votes for rule changes are in and very little has changed. Is this a bad thing? No, I really don't t...

Kickoff 2019

Football Season is Upon us.. Man, that feels really nice to type. We're just weeks away from finding out Are the browns actually good now? Will the entire Cowboys offense hold out for better contracts? Can Antonio Brown recover from his frostbitten feet (seriously?) Who's going to dominate our draft only to watch their team fall apart in the final weeks of the season? There are two important parts to this post, and both of them require your participation; draft dates and rule changes. If nothing else, please send me your draft dates ASAP Draft Dates In order to avoid drafting players who get injured in the preseason, I've set the earliest date for this poll after Preseason Week 2. Check all the dates you're available, or at least X out the days you definitely can't make it. VOTE HERE Potential Rule Changes Alright, now for the rules. First, I want to note that we don't have to change anything from last year, but I always like ...

Week 16: A Champion is Crowned

we are the champions.. Welcome to your very delayed end of season commissioner commentary! After a really slow week 15, championship week did not disappoint. Eagle Powers got a huge surprise game from recently cut CJ Anderson and another big game from Tight End Jaylen Samuels... and still lost by 16 to NB Power's superteam. The key to victory for this squad was loading up on pass catchers in the draft and slowly acquiring startable RBs. NB Power got 10+ from all his WRs, 40 points from his two RBs, and 30 POINTS FROM ZACK ERTZ. Talk about showing up when you need him most. Contrats to all of our playoff teams, and to NB Power for winning his first championship. Your name is now officially on the site banner, and there will be a trophy soon. Before you go: I made a NFL playoff "bracket" in Google Docs for us to compete with each other. Feel free to fill it out to see how you do and I'll post the winner here. The spreadsheet will be locked for editing Sat...

Week 15: The disgusting, horrible, no good, very bad playoff week

Gross. Ooooh man, what a week for Fantasy Football Semis. The chart above (not my work) sums up all the scoring players in each position, which shows you that this is the lowest scoring week 15 this decade. Some notable high scoring players that possibly killed your team this week: QB: Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Jameis Winston, Jared Geoff RB: Philip Lindsay, Aaron Jones, Lamar Miller WR: Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Tyreek Hill, Jarvis Landry, Adam Theilin TE: Gronk, Ertz, Ebron And that's not even counting superstars that sat this week including Odell, Conner, and Melvin Gordon As it turned out, two of our semifinalist teams were relatively unaffected by the collapse, while their opponents were absolutely devastated by it. This resulted in the most lopsided semifinals I've seen yet, with an average margin of victory of 62.5 points. Ouch. Matchup Preview There's only one matchup worth previewing now, our championship! NB Power...

Week 14: Playoff knockouts, Pickups of the Y E A R

Knockout!!! Pour one out for the fallen. Wampus Cats and Cool Beans have both been eliminated from championship contention, leaving just 4 teams a shot at glory. Eagle Powers survived Gurley's worst game of the season thanks to "Tight End" Jaylen Samuels and a resurgent Dalvin Cook, while Goofy Gang outscored the other 3 teams playing this week with huge performances from Saquon and Jarvis Landry. These teams now have to face Dakstreet Boys and NB Power, who got to watch comfortably from the sidelines during their bye. Matchup Previews NB Power (8-5) v Goofy Gang (7-6) It's the biggest father vs son showdown since last season's championship game, and the closest projected scores we've had in the playoffs. After starting the season 1-3, Goofy Gang has now won 5 of his last 6 games thanks to some timely in season pickups, and NB Power seems to have benefitted greatly from his name change, pushing Wampus Cats out of the 2nd seed on a 3 game win st...

Week 13: Playoffs, Survivor Champion

A rare image of that one time the Jags were actually good Playoffs are here! The final week of the regular season included a bit of Chaos as Goofy Gang was able to claw his way into 6th place, while NB Power pushed into a 1st round bye. This next week, there are only 2 matchups because all of our losers bracket teams are on bye, as well as our league leaders. Survivor The winner of our very first survivor challenge has been crowned! Congrats Eagle Powers. The key to this game was consistency, and Eagle Powers has been consistently crushing it ever since this challenge started in week 5. With an average score of 139 and low of 113 during that period, this team has cruised to 4 eliminations (double that of the next best team) on the backs of Gurley, Luck, and Davante Adams, as well as insane waiver pickups in Conner, Chubb and Kerryon. How they're only 7-6 in the actual standings is the greater mystery. Survivor Standings : Eagle Powers: 132 Points this week ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ ...

Week 12 2018 : The Final Countdown

Welp, here we are. Just one week left to determine our Survivor Winner and playoff placement. No more power rankings or playoff projections, instead we're going to focus on these final matchups and what they mean going forward. Survivor Eagle Powers put up another high score of the week to notch his 3rd elimination of the season on the backs of Chubb and Boyd. The real story here though is the tiny 1 point gap that separated Dakstreet and newly named NB Power on the chopping block. This ended up coming down to MNF as the Houston defense sacked Mariota 6 times (!!) to edge NB Power into the lead. Who's going to claim the final elimination and secure the first survivor championship?
