In the last eight seasons, Cameltoe has gone over 0.500 just once, in 2015 — they did win the division in 2014 though. Last year’s six wins was better than 2017, but not by much. Getting upset by Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada in the first round of the Toilet Bowl was painful too, and not having yet another first rounder hampered their chances at top talent. Still, we like Felipe’s draft of Devin Funchess (2.7), Christian Kirk (3.7), and Cameron Meredith (4.7). Should just one of them hit, keeper quarterback duo Russell Wilson and Jared Goff will have an extra piece to throw to, on top of Julio Jones and Jordy Nelson [Edit: Actually Jordy is on Zabka, Marlon Mack was Cameltoe's sixth keeper.]
Jordan Howard is a great power runner but doesn’t catch many passes, and that seems to be a theme for Cameltoe running backs, as neither keeper CJ Anderson nor Adrian Peterson (5.7) are known for their smooth pass catching skills. There’s some talent on this team but we’ll have to see if coach Felipe can get them to a winning season and pilot Cameltoe back to proper respectability.
Ann Arbor Bamfers (7-6, 9-4)
The Bamfers have been to the playoffs back-to-back before, but 2012-13 was on the heels of five and six win seasons. It must feel good then to not only go the playoffs back-to-back, but finally have repeat winning seasons! However, Randy’s crew has run into Pogiboys three times in their last three playoff appearances and been bounced by Pogi each time.
The Chargers duo of Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon are very nice, while Golden Tate and Delanie Walker are solid options at their position. 2017’s late pick Allen Hurns got injured but showed enough to become a keeper, however Randall Cobb’s days of fantasy relevance could be close to over. With that in mind, Randy went with some young receivers and tight ends in the draft: Marqise Lee (3.10), Tyrell Williams (5.10), Quincy Enunwa (10.10), Mike Gesicki (7.1), and Benjamin Watson (9.10) — who is okay, not that young at thirty-seven.
We have to question the selection of two kickers though! Greg Zuerlein (4.10) is great but why bring in Steeler Chris Boswell (6.10) two rounds later? Still, Bamfers has proven its winning ways and first round pick Sony Michel could prove to be a nice addition to the backfield too. Let’s hope Bamfers don’t disappear from contention after two solid campaigns!
Hungry Hungry Ouroboros (7-6, 4-9)After never getting more than five wins in a season, Ouroboros finally put together a winning record — in their sixth year of ownership, ouch. And not only that, skipped la-dee-la all the way to the champion game, coming within a few points of taking the title! All it took for this franchise turnaround? A Toilet Bowl win in 2016 and the trade up in 2015 for Todd Gurley. Even if the trade down of 2017’s top pick resulted in an injured Dalvin Cook and erratic Joe Mixon, this keeper core suddenly has some oomph on the ground. In fact, the entire keeper core consisted of Dak Prescott, Jacksonville defense, and three running backs.
Pre-draft but post-keeper, Jon moved up the draft board again, moving Jerick McKinnon to Pogiboys for essentially Calvin Ridley (1.5) and Larry Fitzgerald. Ouroboros used their own first rounder on rookie Ronald Jones (1.7) and then moved to grab some receivers to flesh out this passing game: Robby Anderson (2.9) and Josh Doctson (3.9). Two more rookie runners joined the team, Nyheim Hines (4.9) and Karen Ballage (5.9) so it’s looking likely Jon is just going to put out an all-RB team. Can Ouroboros sustain their success or were they just a flash in the pan?
MoRRie’s Pogiboys (9-4, 9-4)
Yawn. Pogiboys won a division for the eleventh time, they were looking for a title, they got upset in the playoffs. What else is new? For Alvin’s team, a ring is the only thing. The core is fantastic, with DeAndre Hopkins and Travis Kelce rising to the tops of their respective positions, and bolstered by LeSean McCoy in the backfield, and underrated Doug Baldwin, this team has the goods. Larry Fitzgerald was shipped out for Jerick McKinnon and the new man under center is Patrick Mahomes, who replaces Matt Ryan and could face a quarterback battle from NFL #1 overall Baker Mayfield (4.15)
The draft also brought in Tarik Cohen (2.3), Chris Thompson (2.13), John Brown (4.13), Dede Westbrook (5.13), John Ross (6.13), D’Onta Foreman (7.9), and the Zabka favorite Jake Butt (7.13), but will any of this matter? When it hits December, how will these Pogis perform?
