Zoom in for some fun. The same K-Diff and P-Diff you know and love, but with some extra info sprinkled on top.
Man oh man oh man. I tell you one thing though: it’s good to be back! We have an all new chart set-up to not care about, and a whole lot of reading to not read. I’m excited, hope you are too. If you’re just reading this as I’m posting, I’d probably go to sleep and start with this fresh in the morning. It’ll be like the morning paper, but better. Also, did you see that I’m listed as the author of this post instead of Beans? Plus I gave myself a cool ramen noodle avi, nothing to do with football. If you want to get your name in the author space, hit me up with an e-mail address and we’ll get you on the payroll. But I digress, let’s get into it:
(this is basically the sentiment of every post in this series)
This is one I’ve wanted to put together for a little while now and it was pretty easy so I’m glad I finally did it. Since we have almost 500 games under the collective belt of this illustrious League, I wanted to see if the frequency of points scored in a game adhered to Normal Distribution and created a Bell Curve (remember stats class?) …and sure enough, it did 😀
Derrick Henry runs through a defender on the way to carrying Abie to the #1 spot in this weeks power rankings
Oh man, is it already time to update the Power Rankings? Chet YouBetcha it is. I always say that week two of the regular season is the most important game you play all season. A 2-0 start can springboard your fantasy team for a deep playoff run. An 0-2 start, you might as well pack your bags and start preparing for next season (or in our case for the standup stage). Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to face the embarrassment of an 0-2 start and fortunately for yours truly, I faced Max in a laugher and avoided that dreaded fate. The same can’t be said for everyone, however. So without further ado – let’s jump into this week’s rankings with our number 10 team….
Now that everyone has at least one win, I decided to put this little grid together to show who you’ve won against (and conversely, who you’ve lost against).
Some things to notice: – The only active shutout is held by Kris, with 4 wins against Max and 0 losses. Will we see a continuation of this trend in Week 4? Or will Max break the streak? For what it’s worth, in the two seasons Lebron was active he was shut out by Brendan (3-0) and myself (2-0), so these things happen. Here’s the chaser, Max: – The most frequent match-up has been Me vs. Max (9 games), in which I’ve dropped 7 of them. I know for sure one of my 2 wins was in a no-stakes consolation game in the playoffs, but it seems Max always knows how to put another tick in my loss column. Way to go, see ya Week 5. – The second-most frequent match-up of Abie vs. Brendan is currently neck and neck with 4 games won on each side. This leads me into the handful of other historical match-ups that currently sit at even: 3-3: Max & Vigs 2-2: Me & Brent, Abie & Kris, Vigs & Ryan, Brent & Max
And that’s about all she wrote as of now. I’ll be maintaining this list as I have with everything else in the Must Be Sunday Universe, at the expense of my actual job and CPA exam studying. For now, enjoy looking at and discussing this little piece of LeagueStory, as well as strategizing how you can put that next win in the books!
Okay before I answer any questions I want to acknowledge the death of Michael K. Williams, as a prominent cast member of the show that this column takes its namesake from, I’d be remiss to not mention the tragic circumstances that led to his early exit from the Earth. Rest in power, Professor Kane (his character in Community, I never saw The Wire). Also would like to say that I’m particularly saddened by the passing of Norm MacDonald, a comedian on and off the field and someone who I try to emulate in many of my not-nearly-as-funny real life observations and so-called “jokes”.
Tyler Lockett celebrates after one of the many ass fuckings he delivered Commish Andrew Vigs
God, what a week it was in the fantasy world. After a 255 day wait, Thursday morning finally arrived and I turned into a 6 year old boy waking up on Christmas morning again, excited for what the week and season would bring. That feeling lasted until about 7:00 on Sunday after I got the shit kicked into me by Jack’s three headed monster known as Tyreek Hill-Deebo Samuel-Tyler Lockett. Whatever, its one week. No team in NFL history sans the ’72 Dolphins has run the table and neither has a proud franchise in The League — so I was bound to lose eventually. Might as well get it out of the way early.
Dalvin Cook looks to lead Marzy & Me to fantasy dominance in the upcoming 2021 campaign
Folks, we made it. The long trip around the sun between fantasy drafts has come and gone. The beer flowed, empanadas were devoured and a good time was had by all — except if you needed a QB in round 12 (I’ll get into that later). But the fun part is now over and its time to strap in for a long 17 week season. As you all know, this season I’ll be providing a new weekly column for all fans of The League, power ranking the teams and providing my heavily sought after and unbiased advise and analysis on all the rosters and decision making week by week. So, without further a do, let’s jump right into the preseason power rankings with our number 10:
I wasn’t going to do this. I didn’t think I needed to. The results speak for themselves. Don’t they? I only read the article itself once but the words are engraved in my brain like my home phone number, my mother’s birthday or how many red zone receptions Miles Sanders has had the last two years. Yeah, you’re all in big trouble
