“The Giants – I mean that’s the shocker of all football right now…It might be the ugliest 4-1 in football that we’ve seen, but they play the right way.”
– Chris Simms on the Giants
Welcome back KFFL,
The sixth week of the season is underway and boy do we have storylines brewing. I typically pinpoint at ease the power houses, and to date that’s not been the case. I’m seeing the lineup Jake runs out there each week and boy that’s a traditional powerhouse. Dorian and Duo boast QB driven trains, while Craig may need an RB resurrection if his dreams of dominance are to continue.
The gossip girls had their lunch pails full of Ed+Mitch=??.....Ernie Adams has the ear of our newest addition as noted in my latest podcast appearance. Get with the program gentlemen, I’d suggest the focus of your organizational resources be directed at the serious roster fatigue being shown. Some of you couldn’t rub two RB/WR/TE’s together on bye week…
I’d like to congratulate my brother on his wedding last weekend, welcome to marriage-hood (end of the line, early end days, etc.). I do believe there are good things to come for you based on league history, but we’ll see.
My wife, Meagan, is also expecting our next daughter (Gabrielle), on November 28th via planned section. The writing will pause at that time and return after the break as I sharpen my skills in swaddling and burping.
Without further adieu, here’s the landscape of legends this week:

“I must be close to a league scoring record” - Dorian in week 5, as he crushes my soul.
Well Dorian, you were third highest in league scoring history, demonstrating that we all need to get our shit together if we want to tango under the lights at twelve. Kelce, Allen, Diggs, Tucker and oh the Broncos DST for good measure. It didn’t matter that Diesel couldn't buy an RB in double digits. This was a DFS league winner if that wasn’t the case.
Corey and Diesel faceoff in a tilly that may rely heavily on QB and WR play.

Austin 3:16 |
Last Week 6 |
This Week 2 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 79% |
In the two dynasties this league has fashioned, the construction of the team in question was similar to what Jake currently boasts: Three RB1’s each and every week to overwhelm your opposition into losing their manhood. George Kittle with 2.7? Pat him on the head and give his milk before bed because papa Yalms posted 174.6 points on the week. Bing, bong, he gets to play fantasy pong with my rebuild this week. What’s a Yalmsy goon to a Chewy goblin??

2Pac Shakir |
Last Week 2 |
This Week 3 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 83% |
It’s a modern era KFFL theme, the Duo being ranked at or near the top and with an 83% estimated playoff percentage by FantasyPros, the theme looks to continue. Ranked third after showing JV that chirps alone cannot win you a week in this great league. I’d personally like to applaud the name change, which came down mid writing of their analysis. Hopefully their team doesn’t get shot on the way to something important like their first championship parade…
|
Najee By Nature |
Last Week 4 |
This Week 4 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 83% |
Craig once more is projected for a large fantasy output, which may be necessary as he’s facing off against the team chasing him. Najee’s ineffectiveness of late may be concerning, given the historical severity of the injury being dealt with. Andrews and co. are carrying the load, and as the Eagles continue to flex, Craig continues to do his thing. I would assume there’s another piece being brought in - see in tradestorm 2022 warning above.
|
Herbert’s Perverts |
Last Week 1 |
This Week 5 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 80% |
Any squad rolling out Saquon each week is likely to pose matchup issues. Add in Dobbins, Pity City and Herbert the pervert and the task becomes unenviable. Speaking of the devil, after a dismal mulligan last week, Mitchie is looking to step back into the echelon, using Craig’s najee nature against him. Not many owners could lose a pair of bonafide starting keepers for the long haul, and still be competitive. Cue Applause.
|
Cheetah Code Re-activated |
Last Week 5 |
This Week 6 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 58% |
The rebuild continues with some decent point output along the way. It’s funny to see people’s reaction to the rebuild comment, as if the season is completely lost - it’s a low probability of outcome with me raising my fifth banner, however it’s not a zero. Ultimately, one of you is probably coming for Hill or Kamara before long. Oh, did I mention Breece Hall looking like an elite RB? 2023 never looked so good.
|
Koo Kicks Klan |
Last Week 7 |
This Week 7 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 25% |
There are a number of interesting assets littered across JV’s fantasy portfolio. There’s simply no way to know what his team’s output will be from week to week. He’s demonstrated he can go volcanic and end your village’s economy, while also showing he can revert to hunter gatherer status on a whim. This week he’ll be under the blue tent with Powell perusing the boudoir catalog..
|
Corey Two Times |
Last Week 9 |
This Week 8 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 38% |
Loudon truly seems out of place all the way down here. The reality is that Zeke is no longer a standalone RB asset, and without his workhorse JT, the result is hit and miss. It’s difficult to rely on Latatvius Murray, Raheem Mostert and Greg Dortch to repeat as champion. The injury dust should settle in short order, providing Loudon the opportunity to close a rare trade and keep pace in the race.
|
The Chase |
Last Week 8 |
This Week 9 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 21% |
Rosey needs to trade for Joe Burrow from Corey. There’s your KFFL trade cupid moment of the week. Which seems weird because it’s not February 14th and closer to the day you’d try to turn the trade into a ghost. In other news, Rosey gets an opportunity to return to .500 this week against a tua-less squad of my brother’s doing. Is the Meuth Leuth?
|
Make AmariCarr Great Again |
Last Week 12 |
This Week 10 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 14% |
Reynolds continues to trade his way to a non-boudoir ending, having offloaded another aging piece. It’s a wonder Rey has any remorse for the cadavers being shipped around the league, like Weekend at Bernie’s. Singletary propped up like an RB1 and sent across the league…
|
The Blue Tent Boys |
Last Week 10 |
This Week 11 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 24% |
Powell is the lowest ranked team, with the highest playoff percentage. Don’t look now but KW3 has a starting gig to himself now. It may appear the new crop of elite NFL studs is being produced, and based on potential alone, Powell is more Boo than Boudoir.

Huck it, Fuck it… |
Last Week 11 |
This Week 12 |
FantasyPros Playoffs: 9% |
Cody can’t help but look all the way up the standings to find his former keeper core carrying the top two teams to the promised land. It is what it is and if you deep dive the roster of this once 3rd place finisher, you’ll realize there’s a lot to like. Pierce, Cook, Pickett and others like Dotson and Herbert round out the future outlook. This roster could look quite a bit different tomorrow let alone next season.
The action begins in a mere handful of hours and I can’t wait. The bets, the coffee and the early morning Sunday chirps are all underway. Enjoy those Sunday vibes KFFL!
Signed,
Andrew J. Wilson
