Another Season is Just Around the Corner

The NFL preseason kicked off Thursday night with the annual Hall of Fame Game.

That means another season of JohnK FFB is about to gear up.

I’ll be sending a formal email on Aug. 10 with more details. In the meantime …

The first five owners who see this message and email me between now and Aug. 10 will receive 5 free trades for the 2024 season.

Don’t miss out on getting a head start on the 2024 season.

Season Ends with Repeat Weekly & League Champions

After taking several years off, former league champ Dennis closes the 2023 comeback tour with back-to-back weekly wins.

Dennis (406) was the only owner to top 400 points in the finale, thanks to a lineup led by J. Allen, Carr, Taylor, Cooner, T. Hill, Olave, Engam D. Carlson and the Raiders D.

Runner up was Jack, who was on the road in Texas this Sunday, while his team scored a 375, thanks to a roster led by Prescott, Murray, Taylor, A. Jones, Chandler, Lamb, Olave D. Carlson and the Cowboys D.

This is the second weekly win for Dennis in as many weeks, and Jack‘s first pay day since Week 15 of 2022. Congrats to Dennis and Jack on their strong showings in Week 18.

The Rookie Report:

In week 18, Ryan (347) earned the final bragging rights among the new owners. Congrats Ryan on putting a strong finish on your rookie season.

For the season, Austin won weekly bragging rights nine times, Ryan five, Zach four and Ernesto 1 (Ryan and Zach tied once). Austin finished 13th overall.

Gentleman, I hope you enjoyed the season, and we’d love to have you back for a sophomore year.

The Leaderboard:

For a second year in a row, and a record 10th time TroyA is our league champion. Congratulations!!! Talk about a model of consistency.

Ghost of Seasons Past Claims Week 17

The new year began with a nod to our past. Two-time league champion Dennis (1999 & 2008) returned to the league in 2023 after being away for several years, and in Week 17 his comeback reached a new height, as he won a week for the first time since Week 1 of 2011.

Dennis‘ lineup posted a 431, thanks to a roster led by Prescott, Flacco, McCaffery, Conner, Singletary, Lamb, Godwin, Njoku, Fairbairn and the Bills D.

Dennis’ former colleague at the Standard-Examiner, Mr. Eames took second, with a 398 thanks to a team featuring Hurts, Mahomes, McCaffery, Etienne, Singletary, Lamb, Adams, Godwin, Aubrey and the Browns.

As previously mentioned, this is the first weekly win for Dennis in over 12 years, and the second pay day for Mr. Eames, this season. Congrats to both on their strong showings in Week 17.

The Rookie Report:

In week 17, Ryan (344) earned bragging rights among the new owners. Congrats Ryan on a great showing this week.


The Leaderboard:

With a week to go, it appears all but certain that TroyA is headed toward yet another league title. The rest of the standings remain very much up in the air, with Mr. Eames making a huge surge this week.
1. TroyA (4981)
2. Eric (4781)

TroyA’s Dominant Week Puts Him in Driver’s Seat

As the Christmas holiday wrapped up, TroyA may have wrapped up another league championship. TroyA scored a 396, thanks to a lineup led by J. Allen, Mahomes, McCaffery, Hall, A. Jones, Jefferson, Higgins and A. Carlson.

Chris posted a 378 to take second, thanks to a roster featuring Love, Mahomes, McCaffery, Elliott, St. Brown, Metcalf, Shaheed, Sanders and the Browns D.

This is the first weekly win for TroyA, since Week 18 of last season, and the first pay day for Chris, since Week 15 of 2018. Congrats to both on their strong showings in Week 16.

The Rookie Report:

In week 16, Austin (319) edged Ryan (311) to earn bragging rights among the new owners. Congrats Austin on yet another great week.


The Leaderboard:

After so much turnover, the top four spots were unchanged in Week 16, albeit TroyA did extend his lead by a sizeable margin. Heather jumped three spots to land in fifth.

With two weeks to go, TroyA may have opened enough of a lead to win the league. Meanwhile, less than 100 points separates third and 10th, which leaves a lot to be determined in the remaining weeks.

Kel&Karen’s Lean Moves Lead to Week of Plenty

After making just one trade this week, Kel&Karen finished the holiday weekend with a score of plenty.

Kel&Karen‘s 374 proved enough to win Week 12, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Mayfield, McCaffery, Pollard, Mitchell, Diggs, Flowers, Kelce, Tucker and the Cowboys D.

SteveB ended his Thanksgiving weekend with a smile, after scoring a 365 to take second, thanks to a roster featuring Allen, Fields, McCaffery, Pollard, Diggs, Cooks, M. Brown, and the Cowboys D.

This is the first weekly win for Kel&Karen, since Week 14 of the 2021 season, and the first pay day for SteveB, since Week 17 of 2021. It’s worth noting that both winning teams made exactly one move each, replacing injured TE Andrews on their Week 12 rosters. Congrats to Kel&Karen and SteveB on their minimalistic trades leading to strong showings in Week 12.

Trent, Austin Have Reason to Give Thanks

On a rainy night in Kansas City, Mahomes and Kelce combined to deliver a Week 11 victory to Trent, even if they lost in real life.

Trent‘s winning Week 11 lineup was powered by Mahomes, Murray, McCaffery, Pollard, Warren, T. Hill, Aiyuk, Metcalf, Santos and the Cowboys D to earn a 435.

Rookie owner Austin reached 400, thanks to a lineup featuring Hurts, McCaffery, White, Warren, Chandler, St. Brown, Aiyuk, Dell, Carlson and the Cowboys D.

This is the first weekly win for Trent, since Week 14 of the 2022 season, and the first pay day for Austin ever. Congrats to both on their strong showings in Week 11.
