*Group 10 Bet - kckolbe - 12-17-2018
The Bet:
@AdamS bets kckolbe that Adam’s team will outscore kckolbe’s. Wager: 5 million.
The Teams:
AdamS
QB: Borkus Maximus III
RB: Antonio Summer
WR: Vinny Valentine
WR: Viggo Squanch
TE: Chinwemma Yobanna-Kanayochukwu
FLEX: Borro Gore
K: Adam Anderson
DEF:
kckolbe
QB: Kevin Fitzpatrick
RB: Owen Taylor
WR: Vladimir Fyodorovich
WR: Carter Bush
TE: Verso L'Alto
FLEX: Brad Pennington
K: Dean Jackson
DEF:
Let’s break down by position:
QB: Borkus Maximus v Kevin Fitzpatrick (Advantage kckolbe)
New Orleans has the worst starting RB in the league, and he aint getting better. As a result, expect a ton of volume from Maximus…also a ton of interceptions once Fyodorovich breaks 100 yards. For Fitzpatrick, expect a few more yards but otherwise a repeat of last year.
RB: Antonio Summer v Owen Taylor (Advantage AdamS)
The expectation is about a 50/50 split, but with no clear depth charts, this could go a lot of different ways. With Maddox filling in as depth WR, though, neither RB will see a ton of passing work like Summer did last year, but I still expect both RBs to end up between 700 and 1000, so a pretty minor difference with TD luck likely being the bigger factor.
WR: Vinny Valentine v Vladimir Fyodorovich (Advantage kckolbe)
As mentioned, Foyodorovich is going to get his fill every week, being the only reliable target for a great QB with no run game. Valentine is the best pure receiver, but by a small margin, on a team set up better to run and with a less capable QB. No contest here.
WR2: Viggo Squanch v Carter Bush (Advantage none)
A lot of folks are high on Squanch after last year’s phenomenal season, but now that Trey Willie is across from him and Arizona has a respectable run game, his volume will likely decrease a bit, but he can still break off long plays without trying. Meanwhile, Bush is still far and away the best WR in Philly, and should be a solid target for TDs now if Falconi has turned a corner. Really, though, this one is pretty close.
TE: Verso L’Alto v Chinwemma Yobanna-Kanayochukwu (Advantage kckolbe)
L’Alto has been the best TE in the league for a while now, and you can bet I made sure to snatch him up early. One thing going in Yobanna’s favor is that he is technically the second-best receiver in NOLA, even if he isn’t great.
FLEX: Borro Gore v Brad Pennington (Advantage kckolbe)
Gore is horrible as an NSFL RB, and it showed in preseason, with him averaging about 2 yards per carry. An upgraded OL will undoubtedly improve that, but he will be the worst RB in the league. He will see some work as a receiver, however, which might boost him to 1k total yards. Pennington, however, is the best receiver for Applehort, and should easily match Gore in yardage, while likely pulling down more TDs as well.
K: Adam Anderson v Dean Jackson (Advantage none)
Both kickers are on very decent offenses, so both should see plenty of opportunities. OC looks to be an overall better team, and I expect them to be able to settle for more FGs, but that should be offset by Jackson’s expected efficiency. In the end, though, who knows?
D: Yellowknife Wraiths v Philadelphia Liberty (Advantage AdamS)
Yellowknife is going to give up a lot of yards to the run game, and might be the worst in the league, but even the most run-heavy offense will still average over 30 attempts per game, which is about 30 times more than I want to test those DBs. Expect some interceptions. For Philly, the pass rush is respectable, and Felix should have a solid season, but in general I think Yellowknife is the better D.
Final Score:
Kckolbe 4
AdamS 2
Undecided 2
Who do you think will win?
*Group 10 Bet - manicmav36 - 12-17-2018
A lot of these can easily go down as a coin flip. The only 2 clear advantages I see are at TE and flex, both in favor of kolbe. Should be a good race though.
*Group 10 Bet - nunccoepi - 12-17-2018
Ooo this is fun.
Although, I will disagree that Yobanna-Kanayochukwu is the second best receiver on the team. In terms of target share, he'll still most likely be playing second fiddle to DiMirio who has better attributes all around. He'll be behind the rookie Halvorsen too, I'd bet, as Halvorsen has the edge on all receiving attributes as well (speed, agility, hands, intelligence).
*Group 10 Bet - iamslm22 - 12-17-2018
I think kolbe has the advantage here. Should be fun to watch the race to finish second place to me in the fantasy group.

Yeah, way too much talent in our group. I don't like it.

The fact that both of you didn't pick the SJS defense means you both lose.
The mean green D.

What's it like to be in a group that finishes picking before the season starts?
*Group 10 Bet - Beaver - 12-17-2018
Kolbe has more players that I drafted (2-1) but Adam has more NOLA players (3-1) so Adam wins a close one.

I don't know what it's like to NOT finish before things really get going.

I love it. I disagree on Borkus vs Fitzpatrick though. Don't count out Borkus.
