WATTS HAPPENING: Congratulations to Amy Watts, whose Classic City Psycho Kitties rose from a 7-6 record and the #6 seed to defeat Ross, Dan Fienberg, and 2009 champion Alex Gordon en route to the third annual ALOTT5MA FFL Championship.
Amy largely won with the team she drafted in our $200 auction -- Rodgers ($41), Welker ($15!), Colston ($18), Fitzgerald ($43), and Finley ($14), with serviceable RBs (including free agent Darren Sproles) filling in the rest. Congratulations, Amy!
Woohoo! That was all Greek to me, but I understand the "Watts won" part. Go Amy!
ReplyDeleteNew goal in life: to have a post title with my name in it. Congrats Amy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Amy. Frankly, I was happy to just be there and to that I can thank Matt Stafford who filled in admirably for Peyton Manning. Can't wait for next season.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Amy. Her title should permanently put to rest the notion that you need to have two elite running backs to contend for a fantasy football title. I've put myself out of contention far too often in my fantasy football leagues by clinging to that increasingly antiquated belief.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Marsha -- the details on this aren't really in my wheelhouse, but I get that Amy won. Congrats, Amy!
ReplyDeleteAlso: love the headline!
Each year is different; this year had so many injuries to top-level RBs during the season, and esp. in a three-WR league like ours you can do without. Especially when you had 5 QBs putting up historic numbers, FFL-wise. (Even if he had never thrown a pass, Cam Newton would be a top 15 RB.)
ReplyDeleteAmy, I told you that I'd act excited if you won, so: YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteGrumblegrumbleJamaalCharles.
ReplyDeleteBut, really, congrats Amy. I hope it bodes well for our real life team in the real life playoffs.
High five, Amy! Reign wisely!
ReplyDeleteI missed my auction draft (there was a hurricane), and wound up with Cedric Benson as my only starting RB. Fortunately, I got Bowe, Nicks, Wallace, Wayne, and Welker at WR. I managed to ride those points (and a couple of decent trades) to the championship before running into the guy who drafted Foster, Gore, and Turner. The big-RB strategy isn't quite dead yet, it turns out.
ReplyDeleteNext year's going to be interesting drafting. By my count, what, only two RBs (McCoy/Foster) go before a massive first-round QB run on the top four? Megatron as the only possible first-round WR?
ReplyDeleteI've been away from the computer all day and just saw this post: Thanks for the congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the other games in the playoff brackets and I got really, really lucky with starters that stayed healthy for the most part.
Also, StvMg, I was talking to my dad about this season and was expressing my surprise that I did as well as I did with RBs that occasionally had a mediocre-good game but often stank up the joint. Praise be to Wes Welker, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jermichael Finley.
Congrats, Amy!
ReplyDeleteI really thought my team was locked in over those last few weeks of the regular season. I was incorrect.
But still... Third place! Woo?
