What's up,Special Ed?
Back in 2009 Carson Palmer predicted that someone, someday, would die in an NFL game. Fortunately that still hasn't happened yet - well, technically it did, but he came back to life. Anyways, the Bills-Bengals game was cancelled so we're giving Joe Burrow a do-over in week 18. He still needs 43 points to put Sharon Ertz over the top, which would be the best fantasy game of his career by far.
GOOD LUCK SHARON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2022 DEFEND YOUR MOVES AWARDS!!!!!!!
We went on vacation during the fantasy playoffs which is always a bad idea. Our teams all crashed and burned, but the worst part is that amidst all the holiday hubbub we TOTALLY FORGOT to announce the Annual DYM Award Nominations!!!
WOOPS!!!!! Fortunately there's still one more week before OFF-SEASON, so we can wrap up the league business right now.
BEST DRAFT VALUE:
Josh Jacobs - Round 7
- Jacobs was the second to last starting RB drafted in special Ed (only Singletary went later) and he finished as the #2 overall RB in the league.
- Scored over 120pts in 5 weeks (w9-14) leading Pauls Awesome Team to a 5-game winning streak.
Tony Pollard - Round 10
- #7 overall RB
- 200 more combined yards than Zeke.
Chris Olave - Round 9
- #2 Rookie WR
- 986 yds (so close!)
Kenneth Walker - Round 11
- Rookie got off to a slow start early in the season before a week 5 breakout. After that he racked up over 1100 yards in 12 games!!!
BEST PICKUP:
Justin Fields
Fields actually kinda sucked until week 7 but finished with the 5th most fantasy points for QBs. PAT picked up fields Nov. 1, just before his back-to-back 40 burgers in weeks 8 and 9.
Isaiah Pacheco
- NJ native and Rutgers graduate.
- Pretty useful RB for the second half of the season
Daniel Jones
- Picked up and dropped more times than any Special Ed player this year (4 adds 4 drops).
- #8 overall fantasy QB (not bad).
Garrett Wilson
- #1 Rookie WR - only rookie with over 70 recs and only rookie with 1,000 rec yds.
- Crazy that he wasn't drafted.
DYM MVP:
Hamburglars
- New Guy
- Most roster moves (50)
Pauls Awesome Team
Paul was in the bottom half of the standings all year until an incredible 5 game rally to end the regular season. Owner of Jacobs and Fields.
Fisto Kidds
If Burrow doesn't pull off a miracle this week Fay will win his first Special Ed Chip this year. That would leave Fingerbang!! as the last Original Special Ed Member (8-team era) without a chip.
Bring It On Home
- Best draft, and really the best team in the league up until last week.
- 1st place reg. season and most total points.
