Week 14: The Price is Right
As the season grows older we are identifying a couple of interesting trends around Fantazzle. First of all, a lot more of you are playing because the harsh reality is about 75% of you have been eliminated from your other leagues and you’re looking for a place to crash for the rest of the season. To those of you that I’m referring to, mi casa es su casa. But there’s another trend going on at Fantazzle that has really caught my eye: many of you are loving the Salary Cap Format (as most of you know, the salary cap format is similar to the Challenge format except that in the Salary Cap format you only get $1 million dollars to spend on your team). So why is it so popular? Well, for one, it really tests your fantasy football skills. It allows you to pick up some sleepers that you wouldn’t otherwise consider in the Challenge format. Here are some examples of some Salary Cap steals from the last few weeks:
WR – Lance Moore – $15,000.00
WR – Kevin Walter – $15,000.00
RB – Mewelde Moore – $10,000.00
RB – Matt Forte – $45,000.00
RB – Pierre Thomas – $15,000.00
RB – Warrick Dunn – $15,000.00
QB – Tyler Thigpen – $20,000.00
QB – Matt Cassell – $35,000.00
QB – Matt Ryan – $25,000.00
TE – Jerramy Stevens – $5,000.00
TE – Kevin Boss – $10,000.00
Some of these guys are absolute steals. If you are able to spend low on guys like Mewelde, Pierre and Tyler it will give you serious cap room for your regular breadwinners like Adrian, Andre, Drew and Anquan (As you can see, I’m on a first name basis with most of these guys). The point is, in the salary cap format, it doesn’t really matter how good your team looks on paper, what matters is how many points they put up on Sunday. So take the Salary Cap format out for a spin. Load up on Superstars and Sleepers and take down the pot like dcpitcher21 did in Week 12 with an impressive 295 point showing.
Happy Hunting. PouringReign.
