ned's rollers 190.78 vs TDs or Bust 145.08
The first ever champion of the Rad Dynasty has been crowned: congrats ned! Not only was ned a force to be reckoned with in this league, he is a force in all the leagues I've ever played in with him. He always does well. I think this is his third win this year alone. He's good! I think this is a team that is well set up for dynasty success. Ned will pick last (12th overall) in next year's draft. He already has a rock-solid, championship team around him. How will he improve the team next year? I can't wait to find out. August is so very far away.
TDs or Bust unfortunately loses his shot at being the first champ in Rad Dynasty history. He'll pick 11th overall in next year's draft. He made it to the title game this year, and was one of the stronger teams in the league this season. I am also interested to see what moves he will make to improve his team next year, and long term dynasty-wise.
Before we dive into the high scorers of the game, Rad Bowl (I just made that up) MVP honors go to: CeeDee Lamb for ned's rollers. He caught 13 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown in Dallas's real life win. This translated to scored 35.2 fantasy points for team ned. It was performances like this up and down the board for team ned that led to such a resounding win. It takes a total team effort to reach 191 points, and everything came together perfectly for ned this week.
Aside from CeeDee Lamb, ned's team was led offensively by: Jalen Hurts (25.18), Isaiah Pacheco (26), Chris Godwin (15.6), and Kenneth Walker (15). On the defensive side of the ball, Jesse Bates (17) and Bobby Wagner (17.5) were massive contributors. Like I said, just an all around great effort from ned's rollers.
TDs or Bust put 145.08 points on the board, which might be enough to win sometimes or maybe even most of the time. But not today. Projection-wise, this game was never very close. TDs or Bust came in as big underdogs and unfortunately were just flat out out-matched by a team that ended up scoring 191 points.
Perry's IDP had a giant week, combining for 61.5 points. If they hadn't showed up, this would have really been a giant blowout, because the offense did diddly-squat. George Pickens (16.6), Matthew Stafford (14.58), Sam Laporta (13.4), and Bijan Robinson (11.6) were the high scorers offensively. Rachaad White picked a bad time to have a bad game with 6.6 points. Hunter Henry had a goose egg. What does this mean for TDs or Bust? They return next year with an interesting core of players. There is a lot of young talent here, which could lead to this being a very successful dynasty team. Can't wait to see what happens!
I can't wait to see what happens in this league, in general. The season is now officially over. We'll reconvene in August of 2024 for the draft. That's so far away! For now, you have until January 8th to send me a list of keepers for next season. You must send me a list of 15 to 20 players. If you don't send me a list by the deadline, I'll just go ahead and carry over your top 20 players based on points scored.
Once the 8th has passed and the offseason has officially begun, feel free to message other managers and see if you want to make any trades with them. You can always email each other or text or private message each other - whatever works the best for you. If you don't know how to get a hold of a manager, message me and I'll see if I can get you in contact with them.
Here is next season's non-snaking draft order:
1 TBone's Terrific Team
2 Thunder Thighs
3 My Team
4 Dynastic Dan
5 Bluth Company
6 Turd Ferguson
7 The Killing Fields
8 Alice In Horns
9 BDB's Jet Setters
10 Show me the TDS
11 TDS or Bust
12 ned's rollers
One quick note - I know we've discussed trimming rosters from 25 down to 24 - just a tiny tweak to allow more options of players to pick up on the waiver wire. But I think I'm going to stick with 25 after all. I've been thinking about it. You're allowed to keep 20 players. If rosters were only 24 players - your draft would just be 4 rounds and then it would be over. That seems so short. I want it to be at least 5 rounds. Also, 25 roster spots is not considered a lot of spots as far as dynasty leagues are concerned. Most leagues carry 30 or more, which is way more than my measly 25. Plus, I want to complete at least one "cycle" before making any changes to the actual format of the league. We need to get at least two seasons worth of data before deciding to make any changes like that. PLUS, dynasty leagues are all about building a team and rostering players that might not get a lot of looks in a standard redraft league. One of the best parts of dynasty is taking a chance on someone like this, and then they hit pay dirt.
So I am sticking with 25. I truly think it is the best thing, and I hope I don't get any blowback for changing my mind like that. It's not like the reduction from 25 to 24 ever actually happened. I'm not technically changing anything. I'm changing my mind on changing something. It's different!
HERE IS A LINK TO A POST WHERE I AM KEEPING TRACK OF EVERYONE'S KEEPERS! I WILL UPDATE IT WHENEVER SOMEONE SENDS ME THEIR KEEPERS. REMEMBER YOU HAVE UNTIL JANUARY 8TH TO DO SO!
