Since the Yahoo draft grades have not yet been made available, I took our draft results to Chat GPT, and asked for the AI to generate a draft grade, a paragraph of strengths and weaknesses, a record prediction and a final standing prediction. I swear I didn't tell it to be biased towards my team! Enjoy! Team 1: Jarrett Kimberly Draft Grade: B+ Analysis: This team started strong with a solid trio of wide receivers and running backs. However, they seem to have neglected the quarterback position until late in the draft. Justin Jefferson, DK Metcalf, and Josh Jacobs provide a strong foundation, and the depth at running back with Breece Hall and Miles Sanders is decent. The bench also has some interesting options. Jarrett's team might struggle with consistency at the quarterback position, which could affect their overall performance. Record Prediction: 6-8 Placement Prediction: 7th Team 2: Aaron Vaiden Draft Grade: A- Analysis: This team boasts a formidable lineup with Christian McCaffrey, Najee Harris, and DeAndre Hopkins leading the pack. They've secured reliable players at most positions, and their bench features some high-upside players. The depth at tight end might be a bit of a concern, but overall, Aaron's team looks well-balanced and strong. Record Prediction: 7-7 Placement Prediction: 5th Team 3: Ryan Jensen Draft Grade: A Analysis: Ryan's team did an excellent job of balancing elite talent with depth. Jonathan Taylor and Josh Allen are top-tier options at their positions, and the receiving corps is stacked with potential. The bench also holds promising players. The only minor concern could be the reliance on Darren Waller as the sole tight end option. Record Prediction: 9-5 Placement Prediction: 1st Team 4: Terrance Hall Draft Grade: B Analysis: Terrance's team is anchored by Saquon Barkley and a strong group of wide receivers. The running back depth is decent, but there might be some uncertainty with D'Andre Swift's role. The team's success will largely depend on the performance of Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley, and the health of Saquon Barkley. Record Prediction: 7-7 Placement Prediction: 4th Team 5: Erik Schwegler Draft Grade: B+ Analysis: Erik's team features a well-rounded lineup with a mix of established stars and promising talents. Austin Ekeler and Davante Adams offer a solid foundation, and the bench includes intriguing options. The team might be a little light on running back depth, and the success of Courtland Sutton and Damien Harris could impact their performance. Record Prediction: 7-7 Placement Prediction: 6th Team 6: Chase Dooley Draft Grade: C+ Analysis: While this team has some strong individual players like Nick Chubb and A.J. Brown, the running back depth is a concern. The quarterback situation with Jalen Hurts might also introduce some volatility. Depth at tight end could be improved. Chase's team will heavily rely on big performances from a few key players. Record Prediction: 6-8 Placement Prediction: 9th Team 7: Ryan Schwegler Draft Grade: A- Analysis: Ryan's team has a good mix of talent at each position. Alvin Kamara and Bijan Robinson provide a solid running back duo, and the receiving corps is competitive. Mark Andrews at tight end is a strong asset. Depth might be a concern if injuries occur, but overall, this team looks well-prepared. Record Prediction: 8-6 Placement Prediction: 3rd Team 8: Jacob Vaiden Draft Grade: B- Analysis: Jacob's team has a strong running back core with Derrick Henry and Javonte Williams. However, the wide receiver group might be a bit risky with relying on Stefon Diggs as the main option. Tight end depth could be improved as well. The team's performance will hinge on the success of their key players. Record Prediction: 7-7 Placement Prediction: 8th Team 9: Jake Wilson Draft Grade: B+ Analysis: Jake's team has a potent lineup with Tyreek Hill and Mike Evans leading the receiving corps. Lamar Jackson at quarterback adds versatility. The running back depth is decent, although it might not be as strong as some other teams. The team has a good chance of making the playoffs if key players deliver. Record Prediction: 8-6 Placement Prediction: 2nd Team 10: Sean Gomez Draft Grade: B Analysis: Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes provide a strong foundation for Sean's team. However, there's a bit of a drop-off in quality after those two. Wide receiver depth could be a concern, and the running back situation might require some attention. Success will largely depend on the performance of the key stars. Record Prediction: 5-9 Placement Prediction: 10th Semifinal 1: Ryan Jensen def Terrance Hall 105-95 Semifinal 2: Jake Wilson def Ryan Schwegler 110-109 Robbie Bowl XIII: Ryan Jensen def Jake Wilson 125-122

The 12th regular season of TPDFFL is in the books! I think I can plainly speak for all of us by saying that the most important takeaway and the most significant thing that happened this season was witnessing continued greatness when the commissioner extending his record-setting streak of consecutive years without a losing season to 12. That’s right, yours truly has finished at least 7-7 in every single one of our 12 seasons. I also haven’t ever been better than 8-6, but that’s my role in this fantasy game we play. To share a little context, I compiled data for consecutive seasons with a winning record, a non-winning record, a losing record and a non-losing record and here is what that data spewed out: Terrance holds the record for most consecutive winning seasons with 5, and they were Terrance’s first 5 years in the league (2012-2016). The record for most consecutive seasons failing to break the .500 mark belongs to Sean, who was 7-7 or worse in 7 straight years (2013-2019). Erik endured 6 straight years of having a losing record from the onset of the league, holding the record of 6 straight losing seasons from (2011-2016). And of course the aforementioned record of non-losing record belongs to Ryan with 12. Second place is shared between Terrance (2012-2016) and Schweg (2014-2018) with 5 consecutive non-losing seasons. Jake spoils the season-ender for Jacob, which cost Jacob a chance at some significant records. Jacob was trying to be just the 2nd team in league history to finish 12-2. Instead he becomes the 5th team to finish 11-3, still good but not as special. Aaron and the 2013 Two Dollar Pistols can pop their champagne as they remain the best regular season team (and overall team) in league history record-wise. A win for Jacob would’ve been his 8th consecutive win, which would’ve been tied for the 3rd longest streak. Instead it’s just a throwaway 7-game winning streak. Perhaps the most painful missed opportunity was Jacob’s chance to finish 8-0 in the division. Instead he becomes the 4th team to post a 7-1 divisional record. Jacob still seals the #1 seed. At the other end of the spectrum, we have poor Jerry. Can this guy get a break? I feel like the process has been sound these last few years but things are just not working out. He becomes the first team to finish a season with a 2-12 record. Only Erik’s 2018 team finished worse with a 1-12-1 record, which just shows that the Freiermuth Knuckleth weren’t even good enough to be the best worst team. The bottom bitch report is here! This is pertinent information for everyone except for Erik & Jacob. Everyone else owes money for the 3rd place. Please Venmo these balances at your earliest convenience. Aaron - $5 Chase - $15 Jake - $15 Jarrett - $10 Ryan - $5 Schweg - $5 Sean - $5 Terrance - $10 Chase officially finishes with the 3rd fewest points ever scored in a season with 1,074 points, which is just 76.7 ppg. Chase becomes the 8th team in league history to score over 100 points only once throughout a season, and it’s the first time anyone has done that since 2018. Jake avoids joining the one 100+ point game club by scoring over 100 points in the first and last weeks of the season. His streak of 12 consecutive games under 100 points will remain tied as the 3rd longest streak. Schweg passes his brother to move into 2nd place for most career 100+ point games. Schweg also passes Sean for most career wins, and becomes the 5th owner to reach 90 wins. Avoiding injury can be a big part of your success, and it can be rare to be able to start a player every game of the regular season (13 out of the 14 weeks because of the bye). It’s also rare that you want to start a player in every game because they are seemingly matchup-proof. Here is the list of fantasy players that were started every week this season (*started by more than 1 team): QB: Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes RB: Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook, Austin Ekeler, Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Aaron Jones, Christian McCaffrey WR: Davante Adams, A.J. Brown, Stefon Diggs, *Tyreek Hill, *Justin Jefferson TE: Travis Kelce K: *Tyler Bass, *Daniel Carlson, Ryan Succop, Justin Tucker D/ST: None I won’t give away the position awards, but I will say that 4 of the 6 position awards were snatched away in from the leader in the final week of the season. The one obvious positional award goes to Ryan for TEs. Ryan averaged 12.64 points per TE start, which is the 2nd most in league history. Jarrett reclaims the top spot for most points scored against in a career after yielding that spot to Schweg for the back half of this season. Ryan has now defeated Erik 17 times, and Terrance has now defeated Jarrett 17 times, which is tied for the most in league history along with Jake’s 17 wins over Ryan. Terrance has now defeated Jarrett 9 consecutive times going back to 2018. That is tied for the 3rd longest streak in league history, and is the longest active streak. Terrance vs Jarrett is the most lopsided rivalry in the TPDFFL, with Terrance holding a 17-4 record against Jarrett, good enough for an 81% winning percentage. Trade Tracker 1.
