  Blogger League Update: 31% Chance to Make Playoffs

  With the final week of the regular season approaching in The Hazean’s Blogger League and after a two game winning streak, FFGeekBlog.com is still in the running for a playoff spot…but it’s not looking all that good. If you look at the League homepage below you’ll notice that FleaFlicker gives us a 31% chance to make the playoffs (and a 0% chance to earn a first round bye. ) This is a pretty cool feature and something that I haven’t seen any other site provide up to this point. How they calculate the odds is a small mystery to me though and is assuredly not based the players each team has in their line-up. In general I’ve been pretty impressed with FleaFlicker this year and while the UI still doesn’t have the flashy appeal of Yahoo! and other bigger sites, I hope that at least the Blogger League continues using the site in the future. Anyways, wish us luck as we try to clinch a spot and show the fantasy football blogging world that FFGeekBlog is the real deal!

  FFGeekBlog.com moving up the ranks

  Just wanted to give a brief update on the annual Blogger League that we’re in (and which is hosted by The Hazean.) This past week we played our second game against The Hazean, which seemed a bit strange to me considering there are 12 teams in the league, but was good anyways because we needed to avenge our loss from earlier in the season. We ended up winning thanks to Peyton Manning and the Giants defense (plus the Jets and Chris Cooley putting up goose eggs for his team!) This win was our third in a row after a rough 0-2 start and we’re now in third place. Let’s hope the good luck continues!

  Yesterday was the live draft for The Hazean‘s Blogger League, which he’s hosted for the past few years and features many fantasy football bloggers from across the web. Unfortunately for team FFGeekBlog.com, I logged in about two minutes before the 8 PM start time, only to realize that Java needed to be updated on the laptop I was using! By the time I actually got into the draft room, Rams running back Steven Jackson had already been selected as my first pick (#4). At first I was a little discouraged by this pick, but as the other bloggers reminded me, this is a PPR and S-Jax should see all the work he can handle this season in both the running AND passing game (he had 90 receptions a few years ago!), so it should be alright. Anyways, here is the team I ended up with, along with the round I made the pick in parenthesis. (Note: The league plays a QB, RB, WR1, WR2, TE, WR/RB, K and DEF.)

  • QB Peyton Manning (2)
  • RB Steven Jackson (1)
  • WR Chad Ochocinco (3)
  • WR Eddie Royal (4)
  • TE Zach Miller (10)
  • RB/WR Felix Jones (5)
  • K Stephen Gostkowski (11)
  • DEF New York Giants (8)

  (More …)

  Blogger league domination begins!

  This year FFGeekBlog has begun its infiltration into several fantasy football blogger leagues, with the plan of blogger league domination within a year or two. Currently Matt is drafting a team for a league set up by JunkyardJake.com called “Fantasy Website Drunken Pirate Slapfight Expert League”. At this point our team is looking pretty solid, with the likes of Ricky Williams and Brett Favre leading the way (no joke!), so we plan to compete with the best in that league (we also have Joseph Addai, Maurice Jones-Drew and Braylon Edwards, in case you were wondering/worried – actually, this site allows anyone to see the teams without logging in, so check out our team here). We will make sure to post the final roster when the draft is complete, which should be today or early tomorrow I would guess.

  While Matt has ultimate control over that squad, I will be taking the reigns in another blogger league, The Hazean’s second annual Blogger League, which will be hosted on FleaFlicker.com. I just found out this morning that we have the 10th pick (out of 12 teams) in that league, so I can begin my preparation (scratch any top tier running back off the list…) with that in mind for the draft, which won’t take place till very late in August. I’m thinking maybe I’ll get Clinton Portis or Marshawn Lynch…maybe even Randy Moss or Tom Brady if I’m feeling especially adventerous (and they havn’t been selected yet) with my first pick, but we’ll have to wait and see. As with the other league, we’ll make sure to post the roster for all to see. Until then, adios!
