Fantasy Empire 2014 - Discussion

[Exe Gesis]

Could be surprise upsets first week tho, going by those projections....the mighty Dodgers and Pirates knocked the * out, one and done.

 

[arakaan]

Of course I get two very questionable questionables to key players the week of the playoffs...

No depth. I have great depth. All my players are the same level of mediocre.

 

[Dagless]

Great depth, not when you lose Julio though

 

[Shupe]

Julio sucks. Beware ex-pirates, there is a reason why I get rid of them. I'm ahead of the curve and you're just so far behind. You'll see.

Reminder....

Trade Deadline ends January 1st 2015
and won't open till May 20th 2015

In between there'll be a ton of manual labor for me to do in getting the new league season underway again.

Will wait till the CROWN BOWL is completed before outlining the new rule changes for next season, which were discussed earlier. Just transactional things they will be.

 

[arakaan]

The defending champ is refusing to give up. My brilliant offensive weapons would scare anyone. After all I won last year with Griff Whalen playing in the GF.

Congrats in our game, unless Wilson does a Beckham.

 

[Dagless]

Congrats BPG, ODB turned your season around quite considerably!

Was always going to be a tough slog sans a healthy Julio or Harvin with Floyd having an early game, and whilst 170 is still an acceptable score, we saw it coming. Shame it had to happen now of course!

Still, have one more year before the roster starts dissipating, else I want to have the dubious honour of being the best team three years in a row without a championship.

Updated (albeit with the MNF game in progress, so any rookies - such as Kyle Fuller - playing in the MNF game won't have their points finalised yet) record of the rookies:

Rnd    Avg       Mdn

  1  121.79    122.43

  5   27.77     19.89
  6   34.90     22.68

Odell Beckham Jr overtakes Mike Evans as the most productive rookie points-wise through the season. ODB has 243.89 points compared to Evans' 238.87 points. Kelvin Benjamin is currently third overall, with 229.98 points. Jarvis Landry - a steal at pick #45 overall - is currently fourth, with 219.13 points.

Strange post when you have yet to trail today.

 

[Dagless]

Strange post when you have yet to trail today.

I was up by .02 with a quarter left to play.

Still likely to happen.

 

[arakaan]

ooh thats gotta suck. First down and a tackle on Ingram and Dagless wins as they kneel it out.

Ingram bounces to the outside get the first down but takes it to the house.

Amazing ending to the season for you dagless.

 

[manureid]

Dagless plays the other kicker....he wins! haha

 

[Blacky]

Man, my team will be good next year

 

[drd23]

Just my luck - about the only time I outscore everyone its for nothing

Gee not bad, considering I also traded 1st and 2nd round picks for Hilton and LeVeon Bell.

But had no luck in any of the fantasy leagues this year.

Nice work on the stats Dixie.

Could be a replay of Crown Bowl I - Arakaan vs Shupe

Shupe obviously would become the Bills of Empire League if he were to lose a second in a row. And everyone will be lining up and fighting to get at the front of the line to have a crack at him in Crown Bowl III.

 

[arakaan]

Not playing Kaep and BPG getting an eddie royal special may have buried me already against BeinPurplenGreen . Need some good games from my defenders tommorrow.

 

[Shupe]

I didn't play Gore.

 

[Exe Gesis]

BeinPurplenGreen is something blessed in the post-season.

 

[arakaan]

Congrats to this years Grand Finalists BeinPurplenGreen and Shupe

 

[Shupe]

I won?

Failed to set my lineup this week, refused to look today. Haha.

 

[Blacky]

Dagless is the Peyton of Fantasy Football

Updated on the rookie draft:

Rnd    Avg       Mdn
----------------------
  1  130.17    138.70
  2   87.32     83.22
  3   90.15     95.24
  4   76.79     76.37
  5   31.82     20.26
  6   39.10     26.85

Another phenomenal performance from Odell Beckham Jr sees him stretch his lead over all rookies. He's scored 278.72 points compared to Mike Evans' 249.02. Kelvin Benjamin has 242.33 points on the season so far, while Jarvis Landry continues to give great value to his owner, with 228.29 points.

The highest-scoring rookie QB remains Derek Carr, who has accrued 190.99 points. Teddy Bridgewater is the next best QB, with 160.56 points.

It hasn't been a great year for rookie TEs, with Jace Amaro leading allcomers on just 100.07 points. Eric Ebron has 66.10 points so far this season.

Jeremy Hill headlines the rookie RBs, with 184.74 points, with the MNF game against the Broncos to play.

Although Donald didn't put up any statistics in St Louis' big loss to the Giants, he remains the highest scoring rookie defender, with 187.85 points so far this season, though C.J. Mosley is closing quickly, having accrued 180.65 points so far this season.
