Nigel Wins Week 3 Tiebreaker

In a low-scoring week, Nigel was able to field a strong performance in every box to score a 343 and win the week. Nigel‘s team was led by L. Jackson, Carr, Jacobs, J. Robinson, J. Williams, Thielen, Andrews and Tucker. His wildcard was Claypool who scored nine points.

Our runner-up was Brenda, who also scored a 343 thanks to a lineup featuring J. Allen, Carr, Cook, Patterson, J. Williams, Kupp, M. Brown, Theilen and Kelce, but she gambled on a former Arkansas Razorback (Burks) as her wildcard, and he only scored four points, so Nigel wins the tiebreaker.

This is Nigel’s first weekly win ever since joining the league in 2019, and Brenda‘s first payday since Week 12 of last season. Congrats to Nigel and Brenda on their strong showings in Week 3.

The Rookie Report:

For the second time in three weeks, Brett (293) earns bragging rights among our first-year owners.

We Are a Go for 2022 Season

Thanks to everyone who responded to my email so quickly. I’ve heard from at least 20 owners who want to play again in 2022, so we are go.

In a week or two, I’ll update the site with more information, and the first playlist of the season will be posted by Monday, Sept. 5.

If you know of others who might be interested in playing this season, please send me an email, or have them send me one. I’ll be happy to follow up with more details.

Anyone interested in playing in 2022?

Hi All:

I plan to post and send out a more formal email on Aug. 10, to see if anyone is interested in playing this league again in 2022.

In the meantime, I’m conducting a simple test, to see if anyone checks this site.

If you see this post, send me an email to johnkffb@gmail.com and use the words “I’m interested” in the subject line.

The first five owners who send me an email between now and Aug. 10 with that subject line will receive 5 free additional trades for the 2022 season.

Week 16 Gift Wrapped for RandyH

Whether it’s COVID, Christmas or just a late-season funk, some of the NFL’s biggest stars and fantasy football studs continue to under perform, and our lineups reflect it. In Week 16, two of our longest tenured owners RandyH (1996) and Tom (1995) avoided the minefields to have strong showings.
