(S24) - PT 2 - Rising Stocks

[zaynzk]

Since the ISFL stock market has opened many teams have thrived and help their investors make loads of money. However there is one team that is humiliatingly tanking their stock. The Chicago Butchers, Philadelphia Liberty, and the Orange County Otters are proving to many preseason predictions that they where a horrible investment, with their stock significantly lower than the other teams. Chicago and The OC, both have one win while Philly is currently 0-4. The teams seem to have their main issues with their offense, who are both amoung the worst in the league, with the QBs for Philly and OC being amoung the worst, while the Running game for Chicago and Philly is bottom tier. The worst part about their little to no offensive production for philly is the fact that their o-line has only allowed 1sack the entire year. Interestingly OC seems to have an amazing D-Line as they lead the league in sacks, how ever Chicago and Philly are both in the bottom for almost every defensive stat. While the season is still young, it looks very poor for these 3 teams and any investors might want to consider dumping their stock in these teams as they are clearly not run at the level of the other ISFL teams

Speaking about stocks, there is one that for sure pops out to all that look at the market. And it‘s of course the high flying stock of the Sarasota Sailfish. We knew that we have a good team at the start of the season, but it is a bit of a surprise we are still undefeated after 5 games. As the stock values are based off ELO rankings, it means that we also might be first in the ELO power rankings which is nice. When taking a look at the Sarasota season, there is one thing that really stands out so far. The defense is playing at an immense level, they only allowed 58 points in 5 games so far. The leading force on that fierce defense is LB Haha Mango-Panda, who switched position with his counterpart Fawn Dillmiballs in the offseason. He already recorded 5 sacks, 2 interceptions and a forced fumble. On offense, it seems that the pass heavy approach implemented helped them a lot. Although Banks II tends to be picked off, which 8 interceptions show, he still racked up the most passing yards among all QBs. His main receiver so far is James Angler, the TE mostly playing at WR, who stepped up his game even further after an already stellar rookie season. WR Michael Witheblock also contributes much more in the passing game, and leads the league in receiving TDs  so far. In the end, Sarasota is a team that made a step forward as a team. Let‘s see were this brings our stock at the end of the season.

The Arizona Outlaws stock was rising up until the season started. With their QB Jay Cue coming into season 24 on top of his game, his offense getting better every week and with their young core of the defense finally with a decent amount of TPE, everyone was expecting them to finally make a strong bid into the playoffs.
And while they are 1 win behind the conference leaders, they sit with a 2 - 3 record that pretty much puts them in the same level as the past seasons, when supposedly they were not very good. So now that they are closer to every other team, the results remain the same. Strange. It has to be said that Jay Cue's play has been absolutely abysmal so far, throwing picks left and right and not doing his offense any favors in getting them in a position to win games.
Still, only 5 games played, and with a very difficult game away at Yellowknife, nobody is very optimistic in their stock rising this wednesday. Remains to be seen if they can pick up some good results in a row that get them in contention, but from what we have seen so far, you are better spending you money on other teams stocks.

The New Orleans Second Line is the perfect long term investment, or quick flip for some cash. For the first three weeks of the season we saw a steady increase of the Second Line stock as they won against the Otters, Hahalua, and Outlaws. We have since seen a small dip following their loss to the Copperheads. If you got in on the ground floor and out before the losses you made a pretty penny, otherwise you are sitting with a slight loss. Now what is the young stock broker to do? Buy or Sell? Well here is the plan. 

Regardless of if you want to turn a quick profit or buy in for the long haul, now is the time to buy NOLA. For the quick flip, we are about to play the Butchers at home. That (likely) win will give a quick little boost to the stock that any player could flip and leave with a small pile of extra cash. Let’s look further in the schedule. After the Butchers, NOLA has to play the Sailfish on the road who have been surprisingly great this season, and the Hawks on the road. Despite the two road games, I believe that NOLA has built a strong enough offense to overcome these hard hitting teams. Between Gump at running back, Barker at WR, and McCormick at TE, I expect that NOLA can go toe to toe with the best of them. Not to mention the defense that is currently ranked second best in the league in points allowed.

This stock system should be easy enough to beat, buy the best team at the lowest price and wait for the profits to roll in. Long term or short term, I think NOLA is your surefire way to make money because they are one of the most solid teams in the ISFL.

The player who I see with rising stocks in San Jose Sabercats WR Deondre Thomas-Fox. He was going pretty late in the majority of the fantasy drafts despite putting in a top 15 performance last year. For reference, he was able to catch 60 passes for 974 yards and 6 touchdowns. He was definitely worth the pick as any teams WR2, especially considering he is San Jose’s #1 target. He is performing even better this year. In just four games this year, he already has half as many touchdowns (3) and yards (461) as he had last year. He leads the league in yards by a large margin and has been an absolute nightmare for opposing cornerbacks to tackle. He is also the top earning wide receiver in fantasy this year, thanks to his incredibly high 21 yards per reception. As an up and coming wide receiver, he’s the exact type of player I want to be. His dot puts on a show every time he has the ball. Zigging and zagging, dragging defenders all over the field; that is, if they can even catch him. He is one of the main reasons I’m sitting in first place in my fantasy league. I don’t have the time to check the leaders of every league, but I would imagine a lot of them have this guy on his roster. I hope his stocks keep on rising because that would me some extra TPE for me at the end of the season.

After a disappointing rookie season for Monty Jack where he finished with 6 more interceptions than TD’s, some people were already calling for the San Jose Quarterback’s head. While it was his rookie season, historically a challenge for QBs in the league, he had a poor season even in comparison to the other rookie quarterback in his class, George O’Donnell. While the team around him was young, top receiver DTF was still a top tier WR and finishing bottom of their division was the end result of a poor season from Jack.

This season has seen a meteoric rise in his stock. Possibly due to his rivalry with his cheesy brethren, Colby Jack, entering the league, Monty has stepped up his game. Already after just 5 weeks, he has amassed one of the highest yardages in the league at 1248 as well as a much improved TD/Int rate of 7/3. His efficiency has also been off the charts currently sitting at a over 60% completion and over 100 passer rating, higher than any quarterback finished last season with. He has led his team from possible candidates for bottom in his division to currently jostling it out for 1st. The very few teams who selected him in fantasy will be blessing their luck that they didn’t take the consensus #1 QB in Jay Cue, who is having a down season so far.

Being new to the league, I’ve tried to learn who the historically good and bad teams are. The name I most commonly got for “bad” was Chicago. I’ve heard how poor decisions and strategy led to Chicago being a consistently bottom tier team. However, I also heard that this year would be different. This would be the best team Chicago has had in a while. I like an underdog story, and without any dog in the race of the ISFL, I hoped the Butchers would prove my expectations wrong. However, they weren’t up to the task. It’s still pretty early in the season, and a 1-3 record can be turned around, but it’s certainly still a hole. Moral can take a greater hit than usual if you have high hopes and expectations, and I wonder what the atmosphere is like in the Chicago locker room these days. Not only that, I wonder how their upper management is reacting to their recent results. I’ve heard that an issue in the past for Chicago was their impatience to craft a long term foundation for their team, opting instead for a “win-now” strategy. If what I heard is true, and this is Chicago’s best team in some time, then they would do best to not panic and simply ride this wave out and continue looking to the draft. Surely with a consistent amount of high picks they can eventually craft a solid team for the future.
