Vikings4ever

If I had a nickel for every cornerback drafted by the Vikings in the 2020s to die in a car crash, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Finished. So... it turns out I made a mistake when posting the champions. In 2013, we actually had a tie for first. I guess Dan should have .5 titles and ICEMAN should have 3.5. I also have 4 second place finishes on top of my 4 championships.

I'm pretty sure Peyton was actually one of our avoids (I'm almost certain I didn't want him that year) due to the uncertainty of his injury. It's just that everyone was avoiding him, and, with our standard QB Late strategy, he fell too far to ignore his upside. At least that's my recollection. I could very well be wrong.

Yeah, 2012 was it. We (by coincidence) went all in on Peyton's first year, and it paid off big time. I wish we'd done a better job of keeping track of the IBL history. Too many forum deaths over the years wiped out a big chunk of the history.

I posted the winners list a few years ago, I should still have most of the emails. I'll post them as I get time.

Jordan Love Kyren Williams Josh Jacobs Ja'Marr Chase Michael Pittman Amari Cooper Evan Engram Justin Tucker Texans D

Bonds*, Nolan Ryan and Greg Maddux (two of the greatest pitchers, with very different styles), and Henderson are probably the top. Not named: Griffey Jr (amazingly talented player, not a hint of steroid use in an era that was rife with cheaters), Johnny Bench (pretty much the undisputed best player at the absolute hardest position in the game).

16.05 - D/ST Houston Texans

QB Jordan Love, GB QB Tua Tagovailoa, Mia. RB Kyren Williams, LAR RB Josh Jacobs, GB RB Tyjae Spears, Ten. RB Zach Charbonnet, Sea. WR Ja'Marr Chase, Cin. WR Michael Pittman, Ind. WR Amari Cooper, Cle. WR Zay Flowers, Bal. WR Jerry Jeudy, Cle. WR Quentin Johnston, LAC TE Evan Engram, Jax. TE Taysom Hill, NO K Justin Tucker, Bal. D/ST Houston Texans QB: Quite happy. Love and Tua both can be solid QB1s, Tua's injury history makes him a little risky, but a great QB2 option. RB: Good starters, questionable depth. I still think RB is generally a wasteland this year, but I'm happy with Williams/Jacobs. Spears can push Pollard for touches, and Charbonnet could put up solid numbers if Walker gets hurt. WR: The strength of my team. I felt Pittman/Cooper/Flowers was a great run, and shows, as weak as RBs are, there's plenty of WR depth to be had. Jeudy and Johnston are talented lottery tickets. TE: Engram seems to have put his injury history behind him, and Lawrence loves him. Hill is Hill. K: Tucker's a long time top K, no reason to think this will be the year the wheels come off. D/ST: It's a defense.

Who's going to get the ball for the Chargers is anyone's guess. Johnston was a disappointment in his rookie year, to be sure. Will he be able to make the jump in year two?

15.08 - WR Quentin Johnston, LAC

Give him his Defense and Kicker based on the FFT rankings?

14.05 - K Justin Tucker, BAL

Hill saw decreased usage last year, but still ended the year as a TE1. Should outperform his draft position again, a good backup/No Hassle occasional starter.

13.08 - TE Taysom Hill, NO

The Browns paid Jeudy like they believe in him. Will that come out on the field? Worth a WR5 spot to find out.

12.05 - WR Jerry Jeudy, CLE

Needed a fourth back. Charbonnet was a popular later round pick last year, but Walker ran away with the job. Maybe this year it'll be different?

11.08 - RB Zach Charbonnet, SEA

(For Matt's Eagles) 11.07 - RB Kendre Miller, NOS
