All-time H2H: Eric leads series 10-7
For the second straight week, Eric played in the game of the week; and for the second straight week, his opponent couldn’t test him.
Â
With Christian McCaffrey, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Rashee Rice all outperforming Will’s top scorer, and the Patriots defense nearly joining that trio, Eric outscored Will in all four periods FleaFlicker divides matchups into and approached a 60-point margin of victory.
All-time H2H: Series tied 7-7
All-time H2H: Brandon leads series 3-0
All-time H2H: Cory leads series 9-7
All-time H2H: Anthony leads series 5-4
All-time H2H: Alex leads series 8-1
Free Agent All-Stars vs Tom Brady Award Winner
Every week, we take the best possible lineup made of players who were available on waivers in the AFL at the end of the week and compare it to the top scoring team of the week in our league. Included percentages for the Free Agent All-Star players represent the percentage of FleaFlicker leagues in which each the player was rostered as of data gathering (usually Tuesday morning).
Final Score:
Free Agent All-Stars – 191.06
Stephen April – 168.96
YTD Tom Brady Award Winner Record: 2-5
IR Report
In our league, any player can be placed on IR regardless of injury designation. Once on IR, the player cannot be moved, dropped, or traded for a minimum of three weeks.
After Week 1, IR placements are retroactive to the prior week as long as the player was already on the team's roster but was not in the starting lineup during that prior week. This means those players will be eligible to come off IR after just a two-week stay.
Competitive Lineup Penalty Report
This year, we instituted a new rule requiring managers to start a full lineup of active players. A strike system penalizes managers who leave inactive players, or players on bye, in their starting lineup.
Strike 1: No penalty
Strike 2: Fine of $100 FAAB + move to back of all postseason tiebreakers
Strike 3: Repeat Strike 2 penalty + move to back of every round of next year's draft
Strike 4: Dismissal from AFL
Strikes clear in reverse order, two seasons (currently 30 regular season weeks) after the first earned strike.
