KPAFFL

Round one of the playoffs was an anxiety-free blood bath with results that were never in question.  Both predicted winners advanced, albeit by margins a bit higher than anticipated.   Colin's Cool Team - 93.86 Holmes Crew - 60.58 It was a perfect shit-storm for Holmes Crew, as they scored their lowest total of the 2016 campaign.  Brees laid an egg with 4.48 points, his lowest total of the season.  RB's Spencer Ware and Matt Forte combined for 7.60 points, and Forte accounted for just 0.80 points as he left with a knee injury after gaining 8 yards.  Dwayne Allen didn't catch a ball for the second time in four weeks, and Donte Moncrief exited with a hamstring injury before he could make a reception.  It was a shame to waste a 26 point day from the Falcons defense, which was more than the rest of the team COMBINED (excluding the kicker's 10 points).  It was a tough way to end the season after a rebound campaign, but Holmes Crew will now set...

The 2015 and 2016 fantasy seasons have passed since the last post, and there was plenty of calamities and orgasmic pleasures through those 32 grinding weeks.  The KPAFFL was introduced to the half-point per reception bonus, the flex position, the loss of long-time member Boulter, and the welcomed addition of Colin's Cool Team.  Let's take a little peek at what ensued over the past two years. 2015 For the first time since 2011, neither Pfunk or Tyler's Team appeared in and/or won the championship after facing each other in 2007, 2013, and 2014.  Kevin broke their three year streak of last place finishes and made the playoffs for the first time since taking home the cup in 2011.  Holmes eight year hiatus from the playoffs remained intact, and Team Sean's seven year absence continued as well. Colin's Cool Team made their first ever playoff appearance, and Wasted Talent squad won two playoff games after six winless years.  Chopkins spoiled Wasted Talent's att...

          Unsurprisingly, the 2015 fantasy season has been parody riddled through the first 3 weeks. Kevin has led the charge to perfection with a few virtually uncontested victories to sit at 3-0 with a league leading 378.18 points thanks to the play of his 9th round steal of the GOAT.  His well-balanced squad features the 2nd highest scoring defense in Arizona who put up 28 points in week 3. Steve Smith and Brandon Marshall have been two of the best WR out of the gate, ranking 5th and 10th in points at their positions respectively.  Despite the struggles of his RB corps, kevin's team should only improve in the coming weeks once Eddie Lacy inevitably finds his groove.           Almost equally impressive is the play of Colin's Cool Team, as they sit at 3-0 with 372 points. Larry Fitzgerald has proven himself as an ageless wonder, scoring an NFL leading 5 TD's thanks to the return of Carson Palmer.  With upcoming match...

          The 2015 KPAFFL Draft has come to an end after 3 grueling hours of back and forth action. There will be no Mr. Irrelevant this year, as Team Sean scooped up the Dolphins defense as the final pick.  Draft strategies and position selections were consistently inconsistent, but the majority of owners seemed content with their teams whether warranted or not.  Thus we arrive to the predictions/analysis for the upcoming season and their semi-objective justifications.  Round-by-round results are displayed at the end of the post. Best RB Group - pfunk Runner Up - Its all about the W           Pfunk takes home the hardware for his selection of Jamaal Charles, Jeremy Hill, Frank Gore, and Ryan Mathews.  Charles finished 1st in 2013 and 7th in 2014 for RB fantasy scoring, and that was with an otherwise talent-less offense.  His total yardage has declined the past two seasons, but he rushed for 5 yards per c...

It has been almost two years, but the KPAFFL blog is back in business.  The stats and records can summarize the past two seasons, but here is a quick summary of 2013 and 2014: After a tight race for the four playoff spots in 2013, BluhmGoesTheDynamite claimed the top seed with a 10-4 record, winning the tiebreaker over Manifest Destiny by an enormous 209 point difference.  pfunk and Team Tyler claimed the three and four seeds respectively, and both crushed their opponents in the first round by over 40 points.  In the championship, pfunk took down Team Tyler by a hefty 25 point margin, nullifying any potential down-to-the-wire excitement.  pfunk's squad was led by Jamaal Charles' NFL-leading 308 fantasy points, as well as Peyton Manning's comeback campaign featuring 55 TD passes and 5477 yards through the air.  The championship was pfunk's third in KPAFFL history, taking sole possession of the achievement. Interesting season notes: Manifest Destiny claim...

Although Week 1 of the NFL season is just about in the books, I will still list the KPAFFL predictions and superlatives of this year's draft. Before making predictions with limited bias after a weeks worth of games, lets look back at 2012 predictions and how they panned out. Biggest Reach - Fred Jackson taken by Manifest Destiny (Graham) in Round 2, Pick 17 Overall A slam dunk, as Jackson finished 40th overall amongst running backs with 81.4 fantasy points.  Much of Jackson's lack of success can be attributed to C.J. Spiller's role as the feature back, as well as the Bills being forced to throw as they often found themselves behind in games.  However, the worst part about the pick was not that Jackson failed to produce, but that he was taken BEFORE Adrian Peterson, who was taken with the 19th pick.  I could go into the long list of names available when Jackson was picked, but AP and his league-leading 307 fantasy points says all you need to know. Biggest Steal ...
