A 3-way Stud Quarterback Shootout…A tie on the top of the Running Back heap…Don’t write off the Rod…Who is that guy?…Defensive Tie-Breakers…T&A Mayhem…Yes…I chumped it up…Chump Survivor…and another Major Milestone…all in this week’s edition…
All new faces take home trophies again….Shawn can pick Free Agents like nobody’s business….X-Factor finally breaks thru….Early success is quickly forgotten….Some streaks continue….and Chump Survivor in this week’s issue….
Look!…I got the post done a whole day early !….Week 2 leaves us with a healthy dose of Bubba….The Best QB in the NFL toys with the Bucs….A single missed kick prevents a Bandit Division sweep….Point explosions in the race for Team of the Week come down to the kicker….We start our Chump Survivor competition….And a special distinction comes down to the last pass thrown by Ryan on Monday Night….
As a special note….While doing research for this week’s numbers I realized some of the Hall of Fame record fields did not show all the current teams…..so I expanded them out to show the Top 20 results in many of the Career related fields….have fun seeing where you stack up in TBFL History….
On with the show….
While preparing the Statistically Speaking article….I pointed out how productive Julio Jones had been with only 6 Receptions on 9 Targets ….I found it curious/funny that the guy who made the most of his few opportunities happens to be on the team we give the most grief about forgetting that we play in a PPR League….So I did what I do….and ran an analysis of all 5 Player Position starters for each team and compared what % of their points came from Receptions….Legends had only 2 Receptions from his Running Backs and 16 in total….No surprise that right on the top of the heap was our Team of the Week….Husslers had the most receptions at 39 and the 2nd highest PPR% with 40.6%….Yours truly had a higher % solely on the early loss of Fred Jackson and the limited action of Wes Welker….The average was 20.1 Receptions from those positions placing half of the teams below the curve….2 teams finished lower than Playground Legends 16….Thrashers tied at 16, but again had an early exit from Jennings….Money Inc. only managed 15 catches, and Fudgie Whales bottomed out with 14….The Whales also were the only team to have a lower PPR% than Danny with 21.2% compared to his 22.9%….But they still won their game….Full chart is shown below….
Your Commish is back with the regular Wednesday dose (hopefully anyway….) of Statistically Speaking….Week 1 of TBFL action leaves us with a few ties to sort out and ultimately 5 Player of the Week trophies to give out to 3 teams….Team of the Week….Chump of the Week….A new contest is born….and a milestone is reached….all after the break….
The naysayers didn’t think it would happen….but your Commissioner managed to put out the Statistically Speaking article every week of the 2011 Season….To get my ass back in gear….we kick off the 2012 Season with a little game of BAT-tleship….

We round up all of the action from the final week of the regular season….recognize some regular season accomplishments as we prepare for the playoffs…..and name our Players of the Year and the 2011 TBFL All-Star Team….all after the break….
