80% ain’t bad

I mean looking back on it, I made predictions for all 5 matchups last week and I nailed 4/5 of them. That’s pretty good, Dacia snuck up on me and needed overtime on Monday night to storm the league and take her first $5 prize. Congrats… 

It was nice this morning to wake up to the ranking and see my team back in first place , so the view from the top looks pretty decent. 

After 5 weeks we have 4 teams with winning records 

At 4-1 we have myself, Dacia, and Corrie all previous winners of the $5 top score prize 

Alone at 3-2 we have rick….

In a mass of 4 at  2-3 , struggling to get back to .500 this week we have waiver wire, losers laugh, 360 mafia, and drunk ass Winston , 

And begging to be put out for f their misery at 1-4 we have Amon ra, and Geneva convention …

The next 4-5 weeks are going to be full of byes and injuries, this is where those who pay attention and set their lineups will rise into playoff spots and those who forget will find themselves at the bottom of the pile. Also young stars and backups are starting to emerge, there might be a player on the waiver wire that will be the magic bullet to propel you to glory in the later part of the season. 


But this week here’s just a few quirky observations :


1. Dacia and Brian , these two must have some fun bringing the wrath of the football gods on the huskies and hawks this weekend… maybe go back to bar hopping in Spokane so our home teams can get some wins…

Also Dacia has a 2 game lead on Brian, but Brian has scored 25 more points than Her this season…. 


2. Waiver wire wench after starting 0-3 has put together 2 wins in a row and been top 4 in scoring in both of those wins… she is a dark horse for a mid season run during injury and bye season…


3. Rick has almost been top scorer twice now… never did make it though… he has two many rams and niners to feel good about it… I think the karmic forces of a Seattle based fantasy league are going to keep him from cashing in this season. 


4. 360 mafia has 8 players either out or on bye this weekend… he could almost out together a complete starting roster of 0 point projections … he’s either going to have to just punt this week and fall further in the rankings or have to really make some moves to compete… 


Let’s see some trades! I sent a few offer out there with no responses, be checking your “transactions” notifications for trade offers, you can decline, accept or “counter “ a trade offer and send a message, it can really help during these tougher weeks to give you and edge over backups and scraps off the wire…


Good luck to everyone this weekend except Dacia…. 


Cause I’m playing her in what I’m calling the game of the week to stay atop the rankings…

Contenders and Pretenders

​ok, week 4 in the books and we’re seeing some separation in the rankings, this feels like a really bad year for injuries in highly drafted players, so now that we hit bye weeks with all injuries looming the next few weeks show who’s got more than just drafting skills but who can work some pickups and trades. Yes trades , don’t forget you can trade players in this league, so if your bench is loaded with too many running backs to start and you desperately need a TE, go out there and make an offer for one… it makes this more fun anyway,  Ok I’m going to look at the week 5 matchups , give my prediction on the winner, label each team as a contender or a pretender, and then tell you what position you most need to trade for… Here goes  Matchup 1  Dawg pound Corries (contender) ✅ 🆚  Amon Ra and Order (pretender) Corrie is leading the league, been top scorer twice and has that deadly combination of Bijan, Olave, Bowers, and the best defense (Vikings) in the league, with no ...

Week 3 - Power Rankings

 Hey all, I have a little bit of time on my hands and I’m feeling like adding some spice to the league, so I’m going to publish a weekly (maybe) recap of the action and highlight a few things…  After 3 weeks we finally have enough separation in the standing to evaluate a little, so in the theme of espn, nfl and many other sites releasing their power rankings , I’m going to release my own for the league. This won’t be a pure 1-10 of the standings but more of a “how I see it” of teams performing.  This week I’ll also be sharing what I think was your best move in the draft and your dumbest mistake in the draft … Here we go .. #10 waiver wire wench  A respectable 418pts scored would be 4th place in a world where mathchups don’t count , but at 0-3 WWW sits in a last place hole  Best draft move - Kenneth Walker in the second round was a steal Dumbest mistake - back to back picks of kicker/defense in the 7th and 8th round was too early for a struggling rams D and Jason...

Which Seahawk are you?

Happy week 8! Halfway through the season already, as we are a Seahawks based group we all know our 4-3 Seahawks have had some real great moments and some real struggles. So as I lay in my hammock this morning watching the fog roll away as the sun rises on another 81 degree day here in Costa Rica , I’m looking over the roster before the trade deadline and thinking , who do you think anchors this franchise, who is “just a guy” on the team, and who should we be ready to cut next year to make room for better talent?  So as I know you’ll be clamoring for a blog post today, I decided to ask the question which Seahawk is each manager most like? So here we go: Bill - 1st place, most pointd scored, 6-1 record… I mean who is the true MVP, the GOAT of the team? Obviously Bill is JSN , hence the team name change this week to highlight the true anchor of the team!  Corrie- 2nd place, 4th in points scored, 6-1 record… Corrie has moment where she shines , cashing twice as the highest scorer ...
