Wow…I really fucked this up last week…so we get a sort of double sized issue this week…10 More POTW awards…Hurricanes are really good…at the really good time to be really good…Bubba Army continues to shoot themselves in the foot…at the wrong time to be shooting themselves in the foot…Chump Survivor finds our Final 2…And everybody’s favorite…The Playoff Scenario breakdown…
Yeah…yeah…yeah…3 weeks in a row rushing this out before the Thursday Kick Off…It would have been up yesterday…but my 2nd PC died in my house in a week…and I literally got this one from a guy at 10:30 last night from Craigslist…This just in…Chicago is good…Lots of multi-time winners this week…including 3 going back-2-back…Chump Survivor…the updated Playoff Picture…and…well that’s it actually…
Yes I am a day late…but hopefully nothing short on knowledge and entertainment…It’s a clean sweep for the Storm Division…Armed N Dangerous may be using some Lance Armstrong deviant on his whole squad…Another spin on the kicker roulette wheel…a Defensive 3 way…Another team doubles up on awards…A giant sized fall from grace…and Chump Survivor…all in this week’s late edition…
A familiar face reclaims the Quarterback throne…A Running Back shows us what we can do with our PPR scoring…A 3-horse race is run for the Wide Receiver honors…We get our first repeat Player of the Week winner (it only took 6 weeks)…Another Free Agent Defense is thrown into the fire…only to emerge on top…A new TBFL scoring record…Someone can’t count to 10…Chump Survivor…And another Century Mark is reached…
Does Miller load shotgun shells with breast milk?…What cog fits best into the Giants Offense?…Bubba Army has never been happier to have 2 40’s…Another Kicker you’ve never heard of…The 3rd Best Position Player in the League right now….is a Defense…our 1st 2 Time Team of the Week…Shawn’s season of madness continues…Lots of charts full of data…and Chump Survivor…it all awaits you in this week’s ramblings…
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….
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….
A special Mid-Season breakdown of who is earning their keep and who is making their owners weep from the 2011 TBFL Draft….full breakdown follows….
