Fantasy Football - Survive & Advance

A Story by Trent Keitel
"

2015 ESPN Fantasy Football playoff run.

"

The regular-season was rough, posting a 1-6 home record and 4-3 away record, my “Corn on the Cobb” line-up posted a 5-9 record overall (.357), and gave up 1793.5 points and only scored 1734.


On draft night back in August, I thought I had drafted a dynamite team, but as the season went on injuries started to happen and I had to hit the waiver wire to try to maintain an active filled roster.


The nightmare of a regular-season ended on a high note by winning the last game and earning the #8 and final seed. The Fantasy Football Gods must have been on my side as the playoffs were a complete turnaround. I bulldozed every team in my path, winning three games in a row, including the Championship.


My playoff record was 3-0, knocking off the #1, #4 and #3 seeds in that order. My average margin of victory was 63.


Round 1

#8 Corn on the Cobb - 175.5

#1 Opponent (FCL) - 91.5


Round 2

#8 Corn on the Cobb - 135

#4 Opponent (GFTS) - 92


Round 3 (Championship)

#8 Corn on the Cobb - 167.5

#3 Opponent (DB) - 106.5
