Month: November 2020

It was a good (pro) football weekend for Jessica. First her Cowboys beat the Vikings, then her fantasy team rode Jared Goff to a come-from-behind fantasy football victory Monday night, edging DaveT by a single point (385-384). Jessica‘s team was led by Murray, Goff, Henry, Conner, Adams, Thielen, Dio. Johnson, Kelce, Sanders and the Steelers D.

DaveT had to settle for second, thanks to roster featuring Murray, Newton, Cook, Gibson, Ballage, Adams, Jefferson, Dio Johnson, Kelce, Gostkowski and the Steelers D.

This is Jessica‘s first weekly win since opening day 2018, and her second pay day of this season. This is DaveT‘s first pay day in three seasons in the league. Congrats to Jessica and DaveT on their strong Week 11 showing.

Housekeeping:

Speaking of trades, as some owners start to exceed 50 trades, remember each trade over 50 costs .50.

We have 29 owners so far. If we had one more owner we’ll have 30 owners and we could add one more pay out spot.

Thanks to everyone who has sent payment already. I’m waiting on payment from one owner. $30 covers your initial lineup and first 50 trades.

Looking Ahead:

That’s it for Week 11.

Please double check my work and let me know if you see any scoring errors.

Bad weather and unsung heroes led to a low-scoring Week 10, but that didn’t stop my cousin David from prevailing, with a 321. David‘s team was led by Murray, Goff, Kamara, Gibson, Hopkins, Diggs, Claypool, and Lutz.

My team was able to eke out a 305 for second, with a lineup featuring Murray, Goff, Kamara, Cook, Hopkins, Diggs, D. Johnson and the Steelers D.

This is David‘s first weekly win since Week 11 of the 2017 campaign, and my third payday of 2020. Congrats to David on his ability to navigate Week 10’s pitfalls and win the week.

Every week when I send out our weekly lineups, I hope it might be necessary to validate that I really won the week. After a six-season drought, it finally proved relevant.

I scored a 443, thanks to a lineup led by Mahomes, Herbert, Henry, J. Williams, Metcalf, K. Allen, Fulgham, Kelce, Santos and the Chiefs D.

Major continues to be the epitome of consistency this season, putting up 418 points to take second, with a roster featuring Mahomes, Herbert, Kamara, Williams, Adams, K. Allen, Higgins, Kelce and Santos.

This is my first weekly win since Week 12 of the 2014 season, and Major‘s third pay day of this season, and fourth week he scored 400+ points. Talk about consistency. Congrats to Major on another strong showing.

Honorable mention to the brothers Trent (407) and CraigW (406) who both scored north of 400, and earned bragging rights over their dad Tom (340).

And kudos to JohnS (366), who bested both his mom (Kerry (358)) and dad (David(344)) to earn bragging rights in the house this week. Youth was served in Week 8.
