Fantasy Football 2019 – Week 10

What a game! The Seahawks and 49ers took it down to the closing seconds of overtime and with a dud of a tie looming, Myers came through with a big kick to win the game (after he had previously had a big go-ahead kick in the 4th quarter.) It was nice to see him kicking well after a rough time last week. There was plenty of stuff to add to the Wilson MVP highlight reel too.

In our league, Tim, Luke and Andy are tied for 3rd place and they all won, pulling Logan back into the massive tie for second. Next week’s big matchup is Tim vs Logan which will break up that logjam a bit.

With another huge point total, Luke jumps two spots up to the top of the power rankings. I also make an appearance since my point total is pretty high but I’m going to struggle to make the playoffs with my record. Help help, I’m being repressed!

1. Luke (Helmetheads) +2
2. Tim (Beer-me) -1
3. Ben (Kool Aid Kid) +2
4. Andy (RAAAWWWRRRRR!!!) -2

Fantasy Football 2019 – Week 9

It was fun to watch the Seahawks pull out a close game despite Wilson having to win the game for them multiple times before he could finally do it without the kicker involved. It sure is fun watching Wilson and Lockett work together though!

We only have 5 weeks left in our league and we’re probably not too far away from the first team clinching playoff berth. Tyler, Logan, Tim and Luke have been in the top half all season but Tyler and Luke have swapped places with Tyler winning four in a row and Luke losing four in a row. Luke and Tim are still crushing the rest of us in terms of point totals but they’re stuck in a tie for third. Other than those two, the point totals are more even this year than I remember them being in the past. Let’s see what happens in week 10 as we pretty much half the top half of the league take on the bottom half of the league. Who’s ready for an upset?

Tim keeps his top spot in the power rankings this week, but the big mover is Andy who jumped up four spots!

1. Tim (Beer-me)
2. Andy (RAAAWWWRRRRR!!!) +4
3. Luke (Helmetheads) -1
4. Tyler (Krazy Kanuck) -1

Fantasy Football 2019 – Week 8

The Seahawks logged another win to move to 6-2, but those pesky 49ers are still undefeated. Football Outsiders says that the 49ers have an 86% chance of winning the division and the Seahawks have a 43% chance of winning the wild card. (Minnesota and Phildelphia have similar wild card chances.) As for the Super Bowl, the best odds are that it will be New England vs the 49ers or the Saints. Don’t worry, they say there’s only a 4% chance that the 49ers will go undefeated…

Our league rebounded from our lowest scoring week of the season to the highest scoring week of the season. Our low score this week would have easily beaten everyone (except Tyler) last week. Logan is getting hot as we move through the middle of the season. His 4 game win streak has him in a tie for first. Luke and Tim still have huge point totals but they’re a game behind in 3rd. After next week we’ll have someone in sole possession of first place because Logan and Tyler are facing off. Only 6 weeks left until the playoffs!

Tim might be hanging out down in 4th place in the standings but the power rankings say he’s the toughest opponent right now.

1. Tim (Beer-me) +1
2. Luke (Helmetheads) -1
3. Tyler (Krazy Kanuck)
4. Logan (Goat Roapers) -1

On to the weekly awards… but wait… there are two new awards this time! I went back through all the data since 2007 and dug up the “Lowest winning score” and “Highest losing score”. Interestingly Tim holds the all time records for both ends of that stat.

Fantasy Football 2019 – Week 7

The Seahawks couldn’t handle Lamar Jackson. He looked like a younger Russell Wilson. It kind of makes you wonder why Russell isn’t getting 100 yard rushing games anymore. The last one he had was 2014. He’s had four of them and now Lamar Jackson has had four as well. The next couple weeks look pretty easy against the Falcons and and the Buccaneers, but then come the improbably undefeated 49ers. What’s going on with that!? Can we just pretend it’s not happening and it will go away? I can’t handle Sherman smug face.

The times were lean in our league with the average score barely topping 100. There were a lot of important matchups though and even though Tyler was the only one with a respectable score, we still record the wins and losses. Logan took down first place Luke for a share of the lead and Tyler is tied for the lead as well after beating Tim. I beat Andy and Nick got his first win of the season against Dad. I’d like to point out two things:

  • The Scherschel brothers have the two highest point totals in the league and they have ONE ROSTER MOVE between them. How is that possible?
  • Tyler’s New England defense now ranks #9 among all players in our league for most points scored. The New England defense has more points than Tom Brady!

Luke is still on top of the power rankings as we head into week 8:

1. Luke (Helmetheads)
2. Tim (Beer-me)
3. Tyler (Krazy Kanuck) +1
4. Logan (Goat Roapers) -1

On to the weekly awards…

Fantasy Football 2019 – Week 6

The Seahawks find themselves at 5-1. They took a very interesting route to get there and it’s hard to argue that they should have won every game, but in the end, they are finding ways to win. Next they have the Ravens at home. We’ll see if the refs blatantly pick the winner for this game like they have so boldly been doing in other games. Monday Night Football was particularly atrocious this week.

In our league, Luke’s reign of terror was brought to an end by Dad. Nick put together his best game of the season but didn’t quite find that first win. Next week the top four teams all square off against each other in what might be a preview of some playoff matches. The rest of us will run around aimlessly at the bottom wondering why we can’t score more points.

I’d like to take a minute to point out that the New England defense is going wild this year. They are the 11th highest scoring “player” in the league behind 9 quarterbacks and Christian McCaffrey. Who would have guessed they would be outscoring Aaron Rodgers in Week 6? Kudos to Tyler for that waiver pickup.

Tim is doing really well to still be up there in second place. He’s had the most difficult schedule so far. The weekly power rankings still have Luke on top though.

1. Luke (Helmetheads)
2. Tim (Beer-me)
3. Logan (Goat Roapers) +1
4. Tyler (Krazy Kanuck) +1
