CFFFL AFC Discussion

[QB Eagles]

When there are 15 guys in the league, everyone's team sucks.

Incidentally, I've found the new format more fun than last year. We've got to scrape the bottom of the barrel more (leading to people playing some funny names), and worrying about matchups is lamer than just trying to maximize fantasy points for the whole season. People are forced to make a lot more moves.

In last year's league, 95% of the work was done by the end of draft day week. This year, there are people like Sus who have been able to make a lot of smart moves and upgrade their team significantly. The people doing poorly are generally the people who have been neglecting their team.

Glad you like it.  It's def. a different kind of game than last year. 

[Susquehanna Birder]

It's an interesting comparison to the pay league I'm in, where each drop/add costs five bucks. You gotta make the moves wisely if you want to keep any of the prize at the end.

Here, it's much easier - and cheaper - to keep churning the roster.

[MDS]

I'm gonna go churn right now. Bwahaha.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I started Leftwich instead of Vick.  Go me.

[QB Eagles]

Looks like Mad-Lad is going from worst to first thanks to Peyton Manning, Hines Ward, and a two-touchdown defensive player whose name isn't all that important.

[Mad-Lad]

I'd say i drafted pretty well.  i'm not a huge fan of overall fantasy football, but this week was kinda funny considering i was ranked so low on saturday

Week 7

Best team: Mad-Lad Pwnz Yo Mama      Worst team: Phanatics

Offensive MVP: Peyton Manning (Mad-Lad Pwnz Yo Mama) x2 - 36.5 pts
Defensive MVP: Ronde Barber (Mad-Lad Pwnz Yo Mama) x2 - 16 pts



Other offensive standouts:
Hines Ward (Mad-Lad Pwnz Yo Mama) - 35 pts
Donovan McNabb (micks) - 29.5 pts
Alge Crumpler (MDS' Zordichs) - 29 pts
Brian Westbrook (MDS' Zordichs) - 28 pts
Mark Brunell (Romey's Killer Puns) - 27.5 pts

Other defensive standouts:
Jonathan Vilma (DemonOnTurf) - 12 pts
Julian Peterson (Phanatics) - 14 pts
Derrick Burgess (Mad-Lad Pwnz Yo Mama) - 12 pts
Jason Taylor (Dio's Bronx Brigands) - 13 pts
Demarcus Ware (SeasNutz) - 11 pts
Jeremiah Trotter (Sweet Sassy Mo-lassy) - 11 pts
Troy Polamalu (FFargtards) - 11 pts

Mad-Lad managed to start the three best players in the league this week.

FF thought that Byron Leftwich would surely do better against the Texans than Ron Mexico would do against the Steelers. FF thought wrong, 28 pts to 5 pts.

Chuck chillout decided to start Greg Lewis over Marvin Harrison. I don't even need to post the point totals to point out how stupid that was.

Phanatics started Marion Barber (3 pts) and LaMont Jordan (didn't play) over Leon Washington (24 pts) and Brandon Jacobs (10 pts).

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Vick gave my whole team Herpes.

[MDS]

I'm tied for first? Sad.

[QB Eagles]

I'm simultaneously tied for first in both of my fantasy leagues. The chances of that happening are about the same as the chances of Matt Bryant kicking a 62-yard FG.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

w0ot.

Week 8

Best team: FFargtards (x2)      Worst team: Sweet Sassy Mo-lassy

Offensive MVPs: LaDainian Tomlinson (Romey's Killer Puns) x2 & Larry Johnson (Gamera vs. QB Eagles)- 41 pts
Defensive MVP: Julian Peterson (Phanatics) - 15 pts



Other offensive standouts:
Peyton Manning (Mad-Lad Pwnz Yo Mama) - 39.5 pts
Tom Brady (Monkey Spanks) - 35.5 pts
Ron Mexico (FFargtards) - 34 pts
Reggie Wayne (MDS' Zordichs) - 33 pts
Rex Grossman (Chucks HappyBigpants) - 30.5 pts

Other defensive standouts:
Aaron Kampman (micks) - 12 pts
Ray Lewis (Romey's Killer Puns) - 12 pts
Eric Barton (MDS' Zordichs) - 12 pts
Mike Vrabel (Chucks HappyBigpants) - 12 pts
Donnie Edwards (MDS' Zordichs) - 11 pts

Some firsts: first week with multiple offensive MVPs, first week with no Eagle players listed, first week in which all of the standout offensive players have over 30 points, and first multiple winner of Best Team. FF was Best Team back in Week 1.

Mad-Lad's benched running back (Fred Taylor) had four times the points of both of his starting RBs combined (Tatum Bell and Travis Henry). He also benched a 14-point performance by a very juiced Shawne Merriman.

Sarge did so poorly this week because of the dreadful mistake of starting Chad Pennington (who actually subtratced 3 points) over Carson Palmer (22 pts).

There's no reason to blame FF for leaving Mike Bell (25 pts) on the bench because no one could have possibly foreseen that.

[MDS]

Riding my defense all the way to the playoffs.

[QB Eagles]

What's the deal with playoffs this year anyway?
