2023 Week 3: Breakup Time

  I can't start you anymore We're roughly a quarter of the way through the regular season, and maybe it's because I'm steeped in teenage drama from blasting Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS more than a mid 30s guy should legally be allowed to, but it feels like it's breakup time for some players we drafted to be starters. Vampires If these players are sucking the life out of your fantasy team, it's time to forget about where you drafted them and consider if you can really start them anymore. Drake London ( KuppHeads ). Drafted in round 4, London is the WR59 through 3 weeks. The Falcons are completely uninterested in throwing the ball, and maybe for good reason. Desmond Ridder looks awful when asked to anything besides hand the ball to Bijan. Drake might have spike weeks because he's a talented player, but there's no way he can be relied on this season. Antonio Gibson ( momo ). A bit cheaper at round 7 draft capital, there was real hope that he might bypass Bria...

2023 Week 2: oof ouch owie

  I've never seen the original image for this, idk what Pooh is actually eating. Glue? If this is your first time connecting to the internet since last Wednesday (I'm flattered thank you) you might be unaware that a lot of awesome people that are good at playing football are getting injured. It has not been a good time. Through the first two weeks, we've lost the following players to season (possible career) ending injuries: Aaron Rodgers JK Dobbins Nick Chubb At age 39 can Rodgers really recover from an achilles? Does he even want to play again after he came so close to retirement in his darkness retreat this summer? For guys like Dobbins and Chubb who were nearing the ends of their contracts will anyone pay them even if they can come back? We also have a ton of star players with concussions, hamstring, groin, etc injuries that will sideline them for a bit including Jaylen Waddle Austin Ekeler Saquon Barkley Anthony Richardson Joe Burrow(?) I know people get hurt a lot in ...

2023 Week 1 : Expensive Dissapointments

Expensive Disappointments  Well, what a week 1 we had. I've said it before in these writeups, but NFL success and fantasy success don't always go hand in hand. There are terrible NFL players that are pretty nice for scoring fantasy points (Justin Fields) and amazing NFL players who just don't translate to fantasy (Kyle Juszczyk). This week though, things were mostly in lock step. The most expensive QBs in the league were all very expensive fantasy investments, and were all similarly bad in week 1. Joe Burrow $55M/year 84 yards passing, 0TD Lost 24-3 Fantasy draft: Round 4 Justin Herbert $52.5M/year 229 yards, 1 TD Lost 36-34 Fantasy Draft: Round 6 Lamar Jackson $52M/year 169 yards passing, 0TD/1INT Fantasy Draft: Round 3 Jalen Hurts $51M/year 170 yards passing, 1TD Fantasy Draft: Round 5 Aaron Rodgers $50.3M/year RIP dude. It was a great career I remember writing last season that every single team to make the semifinals had a top 5 QB, so it's way too early to call thes...

2023 Kickoff: History Lessons

  We're back! Today is draft day and with just 2 days until the season kicks off I thought it would be really fun to take a look back through the record books at our first decade of fantasy football. Generation Workday '13 has now experienced 10 total seasons of play and being a huge nerd I have painstakingly recorded stats on all of them. The OGs This league started as a 10 team league, and 6 of the original 10 are still here keeping things going. Shoutout to these guys for getting things started! Austin Kidd Tyler Williams Cody Schwartz Chris Schott Nathan Brandon Steve McDonald 2 more managers (Munsch, and myself) joined a year later bringing us up to 12. We saw a bit of fluctuation with Ryan and Cole joining 2 years later, and a couple seasons where we dropped down to 10 teams (more on that later). Our newest members in Cameron and Kevin have been here 2 and 1 year(s) respectively, but if you guys stick around you'll have more interesting stats in future writeups! Win P...
