Title: "between the 20's Fantasy MVP's of Week 6"
Post by StegRock on Oct 17^th, 2006, 5:03am

Here is another one of our fun participatory threads here "between the 20's". It is called "between the 20's Fantasy MVP's of the Week". Here, you are to list your key player(s) for the week, the one or ones that were key to your victory(ies). I really think we can have some fun with this! [smiley=havinablast.gif] You can expect this to be up by Wednesday from here on out! HAVE FUN, fellas!!! [smiley=dancin.gif]

There is also a complementary weekly thread to this one for the opposite circumstance: "between the 20's Weekly Bitchin'"!!! Make sure to check it out!!!

Coles comes up big in the GBRFL. As does Rivers and Bulger!!!

3 TDs for the Bears defense in another league is wonders.

And of course, the Colts had a bye week which will be zero points in the CBFL. Their best score all season!!! ;D

My only win this week came in the GBRFL2, where Jake Delhomme, Warrick Dunn, Steve Smith, and the Broncos D (waiver pickup baby!) carried me.

This just shows the whole cyclical nature of fantasy football. I couldn't buy a win in the GBRFL2 the first 4 weeks of the season, going 0-8. I make some changes (dumping vets for future potential), and all of a sudden I'm undefeated in weeks 5 and 6...?

Then in my other leagues, where I'm doing very well at the beginning of the season, I'm suddenly performing at a very pedestrian level the last few weeks.

Ehhhhh... Apples and oranges... Ehhhhh... I know where you are coming from with this (quite literally). :-/ YES, your first sentence is ABSOLUTELY correct. The "cycles theory", which my boy and fellow GBRFLer DB often calls upon, all too often goes forgotten. This is true. BUT, your new newbie [smiley=newbie.gif] acquisitions had little to do with your (first) victories (of the season) this week and last. If not for Leon Washington, they would have made absolutely no difference, and, in any event, Deuce McAllister (a real "oldie" [smiley=wiseman.gif]), who you traded away in these deals, would have been BETTER than Washington both weeks, mind you. So, this is almost tantamount to Jamo saying his two wins this week were somehow attributable to his picking up Ricky Williams. In fact, you by and large won with your old guys Week 5 and MORE SO in Week 6 when Galloway went in for Jennings. Ehhhh... Tendentious... :-/[/offtopic]

As for me,... speaking of the devil,... [smiley=evil.gif] ... ;) Leon Washington (Leon, not me, that is ;D) put up decent yardage but, moreover, a nice yards-per-rush to complement Warrick Dunn and Michael Vick's awesome rushing and Jake Plummer, for that matter, too. At receiver, it was all about Deion Branch's two touchdowns, and my D/ST, the Broncos, once again came up HUGE!!! It was a nice 1-0 week in the GBRFL for the old Stegger. Nice team effort, boyz!!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

As for JYJ's league, a victory was had, but only by the skin of my teeth and very luckily given that my score was toward bottom. The fella playing me needed a mere 1.7 points out of Rex Grossman on Monday night to wrap up the game. As those of yous who hang out here probably already know, a -1.3-point showing later, and Steg's eeked out a victory to put us back at the top of our division. It was pretty much all about Warrick Dunn, a not great, but solid performance by Hines Ward, and those Broncos D, yet again!!! Thumbs for all...[smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=twothumbsup.gif]

Dude, seriously... just leave it be once in a while. :-X You COMPLETELY missed the point there and wasted even more of your extremely limited time feeding your inflated ego [smiley=swollenhead.gif] and making yourself look completely petty.

Not once did I say that the young players had ANYTHING to do with my wins. In fact, the players I mentioned who carried me to the win (scroll up, they're all right there for you) are Delhomme, Dunn, Smith... all veterans [smiley=wiseman.gif]. In fact, my trading away of veterans put me in a big hole as this past week I only had one QB who even played and I essentially started only two RBs since both of the RBs behind Dunn were on the same team (Washington and Barlow). It looks like you were digging between some lines [smiley=shovel.gif] for something that wasn't there (but you wanted to argue anyway).

The point I was trying to get at (maybe I should have written something more voluminous so you would have caught it) was how my veterans deserted me early in the season. Finding myself in a huge hole, I started making some moves for the future. Then, once I do that, my veterans wake up and start producing (the whole cycles deal). It's a wonderful little thing called irony. Yes, I probably would have been in better position in this league had I not been so hasty to ship off my veterans (Hasselbeck, McAllister, Evans). Would I have been able to recover from an 0-8 start? I didn't think so at the time. But I now have a pair of first round picks for next season (and next year's draft is going to be loaded with potential fantasy studs) and a young core on my team that I am very excited about.

Now go ahead and get your last word in (you always do). I'm done explaining myself.

And Ricky Williams shows up here too? [smiley=pullleeeeeeeze.gif]
