Christian McCaffrey – Byron Cobalt's Lazy Analysis

Fantasy Games Won (FGW) 2024 MVP & Season Awards

For the last several years, I’ve been disappointed that the NFL killed the trophy processional. Awkward as it was, the song was amazing, and watching the players kiss the trophy was a chance to see the people we actually care about (i.e. not the owners) bask in the win.

Let’s compensate for this by making the Lombardi Trophy Processional the official music of the FGW Awards! So please have that sone on repeat while you read this post.

Fantasy Games Won (FGW) 2023 MVP & Season Awards

It’s time to bring the 2023 season to a close.

Here’s the plan: Do a run-through on Fantasy Championships Won, somehow don’t undermine the whole concept of FGW, and then announce the winners. Simple, right?

Tyreek and McCaffrey are Neck-and-Neck for Fantasy MVP – Fantasy Games Won (FGW) Week 12 Update

Check this out…

If you graded 2023 fantasy players on a curve, where 0% is last place in FGW, and 100% is 1st place in FGW, you’d have two main competitors for valedictorian: Tyreek Hill (A+) and Christian McCaffrey (A, 97%).

Not only does nobody else get an A, but nobody else gets a B. Or even a C+.

I Think Christian McCaffrey Just Swam For A Touchdown – Fantasy Games Won (FGW) Week 8 Update

What is FGW? Go back to the shadows, I mean Go Back To Week 1.

Back in 2012, I started doing my own “Devy League” mock draft every year.

For those not familiar, a Devy League is a dynasty league where you can draft players that are not yet in the NFL. My particular mock draft rules were simple:

2 rounds, 14 picks per round
Any player is eligible that was not ‘drafted’ the previous season

I’ll probably do a summary of the results as a post soon – 10 years are in the books, after all – but as a sneak preview, here are some highlights from 2012’s draft:

Looks Like I Picked The Wrong Year To Draft The Consensus #1 Pick – Fantasy Games Won (FGW) Week 12 Update

It’s official – 2021 Christian McCaffrey was a bust. He was injured — twice — and he was stringing him along in between. You couldn’t even clear him off the bench.

And so pass 2021 Christian McCaffrey owners, sons of 1996 Ed McCaffrey owners.

McCaffrey at 1 has a good shot at worst consensus pick this year. When you start at the top, you have the most room to fall. He won’t have a negative FGW, but his dFGW will suck.
