Official DBN Fantasy Football Winner

by Chris Pokorny on Dec 30, 2011 7:01 PM EST

The Championship game in the Official DBN Fantasy Football League occurred in Week 16, featuring Bernie19Kosar vs. Brownsyup. The margin of victory was less than six points, so it was far from a blowout. With that said, congratulations to...Bernie19Kosar for taking home the trophy by a final score of 94.06 - 88.32!

Bernie was lifted by strong efforts by Tom Brady, Ray Rice, and DeAngelo Williams. Brownsyup, meanwhile, had a great game by Aaron Rodgers, but nobody else really stepped up to be a difference maker. Ultimately, Brownsyup lost this match because of his lack of late-season depth at the running back position. His running backs, Danny Woodhead and Ryan Mathews, netted him less than ten points. If Darren McFadden or Marion Barber had been available, they probably score enough points to push him past Bernie.

As for the rest of the trophies...

1st Place: Bernie19Kosar
2nd Place: Brownsyup
3rd Place: BrownDawg1409
Regular Season Winner: Bernie19Kosar

I'm not sure if the other league winners want to set up a pool to have some type of three-way faceoff with each other. Like last year, the winners of the other leagues will have open invitations to take part in next year's "official" league!

I’d be cool with a three way face-off.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Tim Tebow. Without him, nothing is possible.

Secondly, I would like to thank my team mates and coaches. It was a tough battle with Brownsyup. I plan on defending my championship next season with vigor and possibly some PED’s.

Congrats to Bernie on his championship.

I’d still love to see a three person fantasy football showdown. Of course, it’s too late to do something for the Week 17 games. But, we can still utilize the playoff games. I can try to brainstorm something, possibly similar to the NFL fantasy Playoff Challenge. I’ll volunteer to do the scoring (everything we be open book), assuming we can’t create a league for this sort of thing.

My fanpost with the UDBNFL Awards will be coming very soon so I’ll probably include the details in that post before making a separate fanpost for the showdown itself. Any ideas are always welcome.

I don’t know how you guys do it but I play a way my dad made up. Each round you can choose any player from any team and make your line-up. You can only use each person once and the strategy comes from picking winners as well as big individual games. Standard Yahoo scoring would apply.

Yeah, the NFL challenge is very similar to that, where as you want to pick players from winning teams so they move on for your team the following week, but with a score multiplier. The other thing they do is allow you to replace eliminated players, though if it’s your first week with said player, they don’t have the multiplier. It would be more complicated to score, but it would allow for more chances to make up for a potential upset, (i.e. Seahawks over Saints ‘10, if a team picked Brees last year, they’d be stuck without a QB after the first round of the playoffs if not allowed to replace him.)

Congrats B19K. Once again, I had a lot of fun participating this season and hope to be included again next year. I thought I drafted well and held my own all year, had a couple of lousy breaks. Such is fantasy football.
