LATEST STORIES FROM PAFFL

Thanks...

To every member of the PAFFL, it was an amazing 2011. Personally it began with low expectations for the BeaverCats (if I hadn't dealt Grossman/Beck I probably would have DS'd Cam Newton) but thanks to some fortune from the auction (Can you say Camlicious! but also Tolbert played like a...

2012 NFL Fantasy Rookie Preview

It's still very early to be predicting fantasy rookie players to make an impact in 2012. What's still not known is how many of the underclassmen enter (losing Matt Barkley didn't help) the draft, this is shaping up to be a strong draft at the top (1st & 2nd round)...

The King is dead....Long live the King!

Thanks for fellow owner, Short Bus, for sending out the congratuations, it's been a great ride. It's funny, winning is a great feeling but you remember the losses more, especially in those years when you're teams ridiculous (Team Kitty '04, Ron Jeremy '07, BINGO '11) but goes soft at the...

With many of the results now in, below is the top eight selections with the rest to be determined in week 16. In what many NFL draft experts have been calling a fertile one, particularly for franchise quarterbacks, featured backs and difference maker receivers. There's special talent at the top...

Cheers...

PAFFL 2012 Jankster Cup has its participants, wild card entrants, AFC champion South ***** Jibbers vs. the NFC champion Salem BeaverCats. While others had better sqauds on paper (Bingo (dominant squad), Pomona (best non playoff team ever?) and East Bay Funk (a great team that looked like the favorite but...

Final Power Rankings (Thru Regular Season)

Below are the final power rankings thru the regular season. Note that the top 5 teams were from the NFC conference, and 7 of the top 9. The trend for great disparity in divisions and conferences continues, two years removed from the AFC North being dominant (and AFC South remaining...

Divisional Playoffs (Week 14 Matchups)

It's been an exciting thirteen weeks of regular season action, now on for the money games that separate the men from the boys, and give hope to those already focused on 2012. PAAFC Matchups: #1 PASB (8-4-1) vs. #4 Fightin Irie (7-6) #2 Strongfighters (8-5) vs. #3 South ***** Jibbers...

PAFFL Rookie Pick Playoff Outlook

This time of year there's two camps of franchises, one that have a clear opportunity for a playoff berth and those that are looking to find ways to land in the bottom four with a chance for the first overall rookie pick, and ultimately hope that they can pick up...

Ricky Williams for money.

Here's a small deal to announce. Team Kitty sends RB Ricky Williams to BINGO for $1 in 2012. BINGO drops TE Travis Beckum to make room for Williams. Analysis: This is a small deal for depth, a good one for TK to add a dollar in '12 and BINGO loads...

Tom Brady for Chris Johnson

This is a broader, more complex overall deal but at the end of the day the core pieces are Brady & CJ2K. BINGO acquires QB Tom Brady, RB Pierre Thomas ($53, '11) & QB Charlie Whitehurst ($10, '13)* from Naughty Thoughts for RB Chris Johnson ($83, '13), QB Matt Schaub...

PAFFL Playoff Picture...

The PAFFL playoff picture is coming more into focus, and with only a couple days before the trading deadline I figure its a good time to look at the scenarios as teams look to liquidate their squads. In the NFC things are a lot easier. In: Bingo (8-2) & East...

Curtis Painter for $1...

Team Kitty acquires QB Curtis Painter ($1, '12) for $1 in '12 from the Strongfighters. Team Kitty released the following, "This makes sense for the strongs as having painter in the kitty lineup will increase the strongs chances of getting a better rookie pick. It also helps kitty, who is...

Tony Romo for Beanie Wells...

Another relatively big deal announced in the PAFFL today. Short Bus sends RB Chris "Beanie" Wells ($55, '11), RB Chris Ogbonnaya, and QB Brady Quinn ($11, '13) to Strongfighters for QB Tony Romo. Conditionally, for every game that Brady Quinn starts in 2011, Short Bus gets $1 in 2012, capped...

Philipp Rivers for Josh Johnson & a rookie pick

In the most extreme example of the long-term nature of the PAFFL, this trade deadline deal further shifts the balance of power from the AFC to the NFC. The Jack Trippers receive QB Josh Johnson ($11, '12) and East Bay Funk's 2012 RP for QB Philipp Rivers. With a conditional...

Brady Quinn for Demaryius Thomas...

Palo Alto Short Bus sends WR Demaryius Thomas to Beavercats for QB Brady Quinn ($11, '13) and $5 in '12. The $ liability is waived if Quinn starts four games or delivers a minimum of 15 paffl fantasy points twice this year. Quinn wasn't surprised, "I've been doubted for a...

Where are the Blockbuster Deals?

Below is an email thread one of our more vocal owners sent to the league. Team Kitty's squad is in rebuilding mode but he loves stirring the pot and seeing things go down. If he wasn't building for '12 and '13, he'd normally be the most active owner, so I...

Sleeper Move of the Year

An offshoot of the mid-season report is a quick look at the top trades of the season from two perspectives. The first is what was the best deal for a single team, I'm calling this the "Steal of the Year" and the second is the most balanced, which I'm calling...

Fantasy Football Mid-Season Report

We're now officially past the mid-season mark of most fantasy football leagues (13 regular season games), and close to the NFL mid-season mark as well. At this point in the season is when the truly organic cream has established itself, and the teams & players are what they are. With...

Brandon Jacobs for a rookie pick

This is a classic PAFFL, trade deadline deal, though in this particular example it took place several weeks before the deadline as the rush to decide whether you're in or out is happening. The Fightin' Irie acquire RB Brandon Jacobs from IMT for their 2012 Rookie Pick. If the selection...

Matt Moore for '12 cash....

If you say this looks like a deal that was just announced, well you'd be right. With the changing winds of the league week by week, QB Matt Moore became disposable for South *****. The Fightin' Irie acquires QB Matt Moore for ($25, '11) and a 2012 DS spot from...

Matt Cassel for Miles Austin & Stevan Ridley

In one of the bigger deals of this season, though much smaller than Chris Johnson & Calvin Megatron Johnson for Phillip Rivers, this one will impact the playoff races in both the AFC & NFC conferences. South ***** Jibbers ships WR Miles Austin & RB Stevan Ridley ($3, '13) to...

Devery He

The Fightin' Irie trades $1 this year and WR Devery Henderson ($3, '11) to Firkin Crawlers for TE Jeremy Shockey and K Adam Vinatieri. Analysis: Good role player swap for these two rivals/friendly franchises.

Matt Schaub for a rookie pick

The Jack Trippers trade QB Matt Schaub to BINGO for the Strongfighters 2012 rookie pick (acquired in a separate, earlier trade). Analysis: Trippers are effectively giving up in '11 to focus on the "suck for luck" campaign for '12. If they land Luck, either via this deal or the earlier...

Matt Moore for '12 cash...

Small trade that could have a huge impact, South ***** Jibbers send $15 in 2012 cash to Team Kitty for QB Matt Moore ($25, 2011). Analysis: It's refreshing to see Team Kitty take the "long" view in a trade, and if Moore keeps the job, this will elevate South *****...

Week 5 Ramblings...

With nearly 40% of the season complete this and next week are crucial games to separate the contenders from the pretenders but something interesting occurred this week. The two biggest pretenders (Strongfighters & LFP) showed up, while the presumptive favorite, Pomoma got knocked off by previously winless but preseason favorite...
