Housekeeping:

I’ve received payment of $35 from 20 owners so far. Thank you.

If you haven’t sent payment, please do so today.

Looking Ahead:

That’s it for Week 1.

Please double check my work and let me know if you see any scoring errors. It’s been a long off season and I’m rusty.

Week 2 kicks off Thursday Night with

NY Giants at Washington.
Please add or drop Giants or WFT players prior to kickoff.

Good luck to all in Week 2.

As of Week 1, we have 30 owners in the league. (This number could increase through Week 3.)

Minus operating expenses – $185
Minus weekly prize money – $270

Remaining prize money for top six teams overall: $595 (+ any additional funds collected for extra trades).

Winning share looks to be just over $28 at a minimum,

The preseason is over. The teams have cut down to their 53-man rosters, and we are days away from the kickoff of the 2021 NFL season.

The Dallas Cowboys open at Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Sept. 10. That’s also the start of a new fantasy football season.

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

Entry fee is $35 for an opening lineup and the first 50 trades of the season.

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

Good luck to all.

Hi All,

In less than a week, I’ve heard back from 24 owners who want to play again in 2021, and there are still more who might be back. So, I will start pulling things together and send an email with payment info, etc.

If you know of friends or family who might be interested in playing this year, there is always room for more. Send me an email address or best contact info and I’ll be happy to reach out to them.

One month until the season starts. Can’t wait.

The NFL is getting ready to kickoff a new season. One with 17 games over an 18-week season.

I’m planning to send an email out to the league early next week, but this is a test.

If you see this message, and want to play Fantasy Football in 2021, please send me an email.

Otherwise, watch for the official email next week.

— John K.

Believe it or not, through pandemic, injuries and benchings, somehow the NFL navigated a 17-game regular season. Phew!!!

The final week belongs to Heather, who posted a 499 thanks to a lineup led by L. Jackson, Hurts, Henry, Taylor, Wilson, A. Brown, Diggs, A. Brown, Waller and the Ravens D.

Kerry and I tied for second, with a 491, thanks to identical rosters featuring Watson, Hurts, Henry, Taylor, Wilson, Mattison, Adams, Diggs, C. Samuel, Waller, Gay and the Ravens D.

While she’s come in second two times this season, this is Heather‘s first weekly win in her four seasons playing in the league. Congrats!!! Kerry and I have enjoyed multiple paydays this season. Congrats to Heather and Kerry on the strong showing to end the 2020 campaign.

Christmas came early for Kerry, as she put together a 380 to win Week 15. Kerry‘s lineup was led by Mahomes, Hurts, Henry, Taylor, T. Hill, Diggs, Aiyuk, Kelce, and Koo.

Eric took second, with a 374, thanks to a roster featuring Mahomes, Hurts, Henry, Taylor, Diggs, Aiyuk, Kelce, and Koo.

This is Kerry‘s first weekly win since Week 14 of the 2017 campaign and Eric’s second pay day of 2020. Congrats to Kerry and Eric on the strong showing this week.

A total of 12 owners played Hurts as a write-in or wild card. His 60 points outscored everyone in play and won the last 100-point bonus of the season. (The bonus is only 50 points the last two weeks of the season.) All of the folks on the leaderboard played Hurts, including Heather, who earned her second 100-point bonus of the year.

The Leaderboard:
With two weeks to go, Andrew continues to hold onto the top spot, while Major and I hold serve . Eric moved back into fourth, and TroyA rounds out the top five, while Heather falls just outside the money spots.

What a crazy, high-scoring week. We had six owners score more than 400 points in Week 14, and all but one of them (Andrew) is a former league champion. And of those six, five of them are in the Top 10 for 2020, including four in the money spots.

In the end, TroyA scored the highest result of the season to date (498) to best the field, thanks to a dominating lineup led by Rodgers, Carr, Henry, J. Taylor, McKissick, M. Davis, Adams, Kelce, Hopkins and Seahawks D.

Major took second, scoring a 444 , thanks to a roster featuring Mahomes, Trubisky, Henry, J. Taylor, McKissick, Davis, T. Hill, Diggs, and Kelce.

This is TroyA‘s second weekly win in three weeks, and Major‘s fourth payday of the 2020 season. Congrats to both owners for their Week 14 dominance.

Kudos to rookie owner Liam who just missed a 400-point effort, finishing with a 399.

The Leaderboard:
Andrew‘s withstood the high-scoring frenzy this week, by topping 400 himself. Major, TroyA and myself moved up the leaderboard, while Heather took a tumble and Eric fell just outside the money spots.

Mike found Week 13 lucky, as he posted a 398 to win the week. Mike‘s lineup was led by Rodgers, Cousins, Cook, Montgomery, Adams, Jefferson, Kelce, Koo and the Packers D.

We had a rare tie for second place, as RandyH and Andrew fought to a draw, both scoring 381. Randy‘s squad was led by Mahomes, Carr, Cook, Montgomery, Metcalf, Landry, D. Johnson, Kelce, Koo and the Dolphins D.
Andrew‘s featured Mahomes, Cousins, Cook, Hunt, Adams, Diggs, Samuel, Kelce, Koo and the Dolphins D. They both played Gay as their wildcard, so it ended tied.

This is Mike‘s first weekly win since Week 6 of 2018, and Randy‘s first pay day since Week 11 of 2018, and Andrew‘s second pay day of this campaign. Congrats to Mike, Randy and Andrew on the strong Week 13 showing.

A handful of owners, including Jake, SteveB and Mike recorded their highest scores of the season this week.

Finally, kudos to Heather, who selected C. Davis from Tennessee as her wild card, and wound up having him outscore all other players in play, earning her the coveted (and rare) 100-point bonus! More on that in a moment.

The Leaderboard:
Andrew‘s strong showing helped him maintain his hold atop the leaderboard, but Heather’s bonus catapults her to second place, fast on Andrew‘s heels. Eric and I each dropped a place, while Major leap frogged TroyA.

Andrew (3560)
