BCB Fantasy Football Update: IT'S CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK!!!

by Hyatt on Dec 22, 2011 2:02 AM CST

So much has let to led to this weekend. Three games to determine who gets that sweet sweet title to put in their sig tag as the Kreigers/Archers/Swansons champions. So let's break down the matchups.

Swansons Championship Matchup:

Brew Town Boozer's I Just Called To Say F*ck You v. Mr. Leam's Put Something Offensive Here- Ok, first off, every person in the Swanson's should be hanging their heads in shame. The Great British (not sure if it's Scotland or Wales, my bad) Mr. Leam who has NEVER PLAYED FANTASY AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN HIS LIFE (or so he led on) IS IN OUR CHAMPIONSHIP. Boozer's miracle run despite backing into the playoffs, he was last seen running through my boys last week (fuck you very much Rapelisberger and Antonio Brown). Advantages for Leam include Mendenhall going up against STL and Roddy White ripping apart the NO secondary, but Boozer has Calvin Johnson neutralizing Matthew Stafford's points against the suspect SD secondary as well as Julio Jones against that same NO secondary. The teams split their regular season matchups, including just 3 weeks ago where Leam took his playoff positioning. I do believe this will be the only matchup in a fantasy championship of either Dalton or Alex Smith going up against Matt Stafford or Eli. Crazy.

Kreigers Championship Matchup:

Tepo6868's Using Your Head with James Harrison v. Ice Cream MAn's Ice Cold Bruschis- I'll be honest, I think the Bruschi's have an amazing squad with Brees leading the way, Lynch and MJD at the RB positions, and Welker and Miles Austin at the receiver. However, Tepo's squad is quite the tremendous slouch, with Cam, a very good RB corps in Mendenhall and Mathews, and Megatron, Julio Jones, and Antonio Brown at the receiver spots. TE would be highly in favor of Tepo if Finley didn't drop it as if it were a Beastie Boys beat. And each has an easy defensive matchup. Basically, whoever has the fewest guys shit the bed will win this one. Tepo took the first matchup by 7.

Archers Championship Matchup:

Hyatt's Cromartie's Foster Kid Emporium v. TexWestern's Rock Me Abberderis- So I made one of these. Go me. Tough matchup though. Stafford has been lights out lately, but I see Matt Ryan in NO and that means SHOOTOUT. I have a pretty good advantage at RB with Matthews and Foster, though Gore (against a tough SEA defense) and Shonn Greene aren't going to kill Tex. The receivers are pretty much a push in my view, as Julio Jones and Lance Moore are equal (and both in that upcoming shootout), as are Roddy and Fitty, though slight edge to Steve Smith over Dez Bryant. TEs are a push too with Davis and Pettigrew. He's got me on D as the Titans take on Blaine Gabbert, but the Jets are a high scoring D who always put up at the end of the year. This one will go the distance starting with Arian going tomorrow, and ending with a Lance Moore/Roddy White v. Matt Ryan/Julio Jones slugfest on Monday Night. I can't wait.

Feel free to check out the matchups and lament on which of your players on your losing teams you want to receive an infectious disease. Good luck to all.

Good luck to Mr. Leam (Learn). What can I say? The 6th seed is getting hot at the right time. The game Monday night should be wild with at least 4 players in the matchup.

A quick session of fungos is all Mat Gamel needs to play 3rd base for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Should be good and probably pretty close

May the best man win (and all that nonsense)!

Yeah

I kinda feel like I should be apologising after fluking this one. God knows where all those points came from…

Hellz Yeah Arian Foster

22 Points! Great Start!

I feel it's gonna be a good matchup between Tepo and myself.

The only thing is, several guys who are on his bench are starters on my (first place) team in my other league. His team is simply stacked.

Shaping up to be a tight finish here,

I need Finley to catch the damn ball, and I didn’t need Starks to get healthy just yet. Grant always seems to be very good against the Bears though, even earlier in the year when Starks was in, so it could be okay. It’ll probably all come down to Brees throwing for 300 and 2 TDs or 400 and 3 TDs.

Oh, and how the hell does Marshawn Lynch put up 18 against San Fran?

Going to come down to Brees on Monday night.

Barring any stat corrections, he will need to get 23 points for the win. He has done that in all but four starts it appears. Grant and Finley didn’t do terrible at least, but they could have helped more.

Lynch went beast mode on SF. Wasn’t expecting such a performance by him against their run D, but I guess they had to allow a TD sometime.

Congrats.

But I’m not going to lie. I’m pissed off that I lost because they left him in in a situation where the only meaningful outcome would have been an injury to Brees. There was another game next week to break the record, there was plenty opportunity for him to break his leg tonight though. Up by 22, there is no good reason for him to be in the game.

Ah, fuck it. Congrats again.

Thanks.

I’m not going to lie, I completely agree with you. There was no reason for him to come back out when they were up by that much on the final drive. I was getting pretty nervous as the score was tied. In any event, it was an exciting finish to a great season.

I watched the replay on Adrian Peterson once. Only once.

SO painful. I feel for the guy. I hope he manages to come back and play again, but blowing the ACL and MCL … ugh, I get shudders thinking about the hit.

Mark Attanasio is the best.

by nullacct on Dec 25, 2011 12:32 AM CST reply actions

I need 16

Julio and Matty Ice need to outscore Roddy and Lance moore by that much, and I am CHAMPION of the Archers. Otherwise, Tex weasels his way to the championship. And by weasels, I mean earns it outright.

by Hyatt on Dec 26, 2011 6:53 PM CST reply actions

And I got 19

Great match up with tex, exciting to the end
