John K's Fantasy Football

A former league champion, Major (2016), posted a 403 to win Week 2, thanks to a lineup featuring Mahomes, Newton, McCaffery, Conner, Hunt, Hopkins, K. Allen, Edelman, Kelce and Butker.

Two owners, Brenda and Heather, both scored 370, but Brenda‘s tiebreaker edged Heather (7-1). Brenda’s team was led by Wilson, A. Jones, Ingram, Hopkins, Lockett, Dio. Johnson, Tucker and the Steelers D (with Sloman (7) as her tiebreaker).

Honorable mention to Heather, who has finished second and third in the first two weeks of the season. Her roster this week featured Mahomes, Newton, McCaffery, Taylor, Hunt, Ridley, Kelce, and Butker.

This is Major‘s first win since Week 12 of 2017, and Brenda‘s first pay day since Week 4 of 2016. Congrats to Major and Brenda on their strong showing.

Reminder: Overall standings will debut in Week 4.

Week 3 kicks off Thursday with Miami Dolphins at  Jacksonville Jaguars

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books, and for most of us, it looks like we could have used a preseason. But not Michael. His team scored 354 and won the week going away, thanks to a lineup featuring L. Jackson, Newton, Jacobs, Mostert, Godwin, Andrews, Koo and the Ravens D.

Heather was another one of the few owners to exceed 300 points. Her roster scored 313, led by Mahomes, Newton, McCaffery, Hunt, Ridley, M. Brown, Kelce and the Patriots D.

Congrats to Michael on his first weekly win since Week 12 of 2018, and Heather‘s first pay day since Week 10 of last season.

I had one owner suggest that we should spotlight lowest scores of the week, but I think most of us would like to forget about Week 1. Just another reminder that everything changes quickly in the NFL.

Reminder: Overall standings will debut in Week 4.

Well, the non-preseason is over, the teams have cut down to their 53-man rosters, and we are five days away from the kickoff of the 2020 NFL season.

You can check out the new play list for Weeks 1-4 and submit your lineup for Week 1.

I’ll send an email to everyone as well, with how to send payment.

Good luck to all. Stay safe and well.

Hi All:

Welcome back to another fantasy football season. Who would have predicted how so much would change since last February when the Chiefs edged the 49ers to win Super Bowl LIV?

So with no preseason and no certainty about what to predict for the 2020 NFL season, we’ll go ahead and attempt to have a fantasy football season.

The NFL is expected to kick off on Thurs. Sept. 10 with the Houston Texans at the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s also the first night of our league.

I’ll have the first playlist of 2020 ready to go by Monday, Sept. 7, and you can submit your Week 1 lineup any time after that.

The fee to play will be $30 again this year. You send payment via cash, check or Venmo or PayPal.

Most of you already are familiar with the rules, but for new owners, I’ll be happy to provide more details. You can find the rules and scoring information on the site.

We should have at least 23 owners for this season, but feel free to invite others.

Good luck to all. Let’s stay safe and healthy, and hopefully, have some fun.

On the final week of the 2019 season, Eric was able to navigate the unpredictable nature of Week 17 and score a 418, thanks to a lineup led by Winston, Tannehill, McCaffery, Boone, Perriman, AJ Brown, Higbee, Tucker and the Ravens D.

Our runnerup was Mr. Eames, who posted a 407, with a lineup featuring Prescott, Tannehill, McCaffery, Mixon, Drake, Adams, Woods, Brown and Higbee.

This was Erics‘s second weekly win of the year, and Mr. Eames‘ fourth pay day this season. Congrats to Eric and Mr. Eames on the strong showings in Week 17.

The Leader Board:

Every year I suggest it is going to be a tight finish, but this year takes the cake. Not only did we have the smallest margin of victory ever (four points) but third and fourth place came down to a tie breaker of who had the larger high score.



In the end, TroyA holds on to the title , edging Jack by a mere four points. Mr. Eames edges Heather for third based on high scores, and Trent takes fifth, just ahead of his dad Tommy. Congrats to all the winning owners, especially Heather, who finishes in the overall money spots for the first time after three seasons.

This is TroyA‘s eighth league title since 2002, and his second in a row. Congrats on your back-to-back championships.

TroyA	4966
Jack	4962
Mr. Eames	4937 (430)
Heather	4937 (425)
Trent	4902

For the second week in a row, plenty of owners found a way to top 400 points, but only one won the week.

We had eight owners top 400+ points, but Jack won the day with a 458, thanks to a lineup led by L. Jackson, Tannehill, McCaffery, Drake, Mostert, M. Thomas, Boyd, Kittle, Butker and the Broncos D.

Michael scored a 448, but had to settle for second place, with a lineup featuring L. Jackson, Wentz, Barkley, Mostert, M. Thomas, Perriman, AJ Brown, Kelce and Ficken.

The Leader Board:

Our overall leader, TroyA holds on to the lead, but Jack’s monster week moves him into second, a mere 24 points out.  Heather continues her late season push, moving up to third. Trent drops to fourth,  Tommy climbs to fifth, and I try to hold on to the final money spot.
