It’s here! The 2024 Crunchtime Fantasy Football Championship Game has arrived. All of that hard work, starting at the draft, the battles through the season, and first round playoff battles….we are at the Finals. It is very fitting that the Irish Pride have made it. Afterall, they are the defending champs and the 2024 Regular…
The playoffs are in full swing and we are at halftime of the 1st round. And what a first half it was! The story of the day was the Top Dawgs absolutely exploding! All TacoMan could do was shake his head as touchdown after touchdown was scored for the Dawgs. At the half, the Dawgs…
The season was a crazy rollercoaster for most teams. Some started hot, some started flat. As for the Irish Pride, they were hot all season long. They scored 100+ points every week but one, and that week they landed at 98 points. So, needless to say, the defending champs are the odds on favorites to…
Welcome to the final week of the regular season. For some, the playoffs actually start right here! 7 teams are fighting for 3 playoff spots and this is the last week to do it. Let’s take a look at what needs to happen.
The league is heating up as we head into the final two weeks of the regular season! With only one playoff spot secured by the dominant “Irish Pride”, the remaining teams are in a fierce battle for the 3 remaining spots. Every matchup matters, every point counts, and no team is out of the running…
The Irish Pride pulled away to 8-1 while we have a logjam at 6-3. TacoMan9000, Joe Buck Yourself, and GB Gamblers have the inside track at making it to the postseason. However, the Darque Warriors, Pimps, and Top Dawgs are at 4-6 and are very much still alive. With 4 games to go, a lot…
After a brief break for the highly acclaimed Midsies, the Game Previews return for Week 9! And it’s a Halloween Edition Game of The Week at that! As we head down the stretch, Game Previews will change a bit as we focus not just on the matchups, but also the overall playoff race and the…
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual Midsies Awards, Crunchtime Fantasy Football League’s very own midseason award show! Tonight, we celebrate the triumphs, the tragedies, and the utter absurdity that have unfolded in our league so far. We’re halfway through the season, and what a season it’s been! Filled with hard fought wins, tough losses,…
Ok, we have a change of pace ladies and gentlemen. Crunchtime has gained a bit of steam and the attention of Ron and Rachel’s Fantasy Football Podcast. People wanted the scoop and its been broadcasted. Here you go. Have a listen, if you missed it.
Last week, we saw the Champs go 5-0. Can they be stopped?? Also, the Gamblers continued their winning ways by hitting a 4-1 record. The Dawgs are demanding a recount in that game as there’s no way the Gamblers could legit beat them. The Scallywags faced a team who scored 79 points, yet they still…
Week 4 had a few wild games going back and forth with one game decided late on Monday Night. Sucks to lose those games that late in the week! The Commish goes 4-1 yet again in PickEm. Those damn Midway Monsters keep losing. We need to get off that train and pick the other guy….
Commish goes 4-1 in last weeks picks with only the Midway Monsters losing to the Darque Warriors being the disappointing pick. As we are back on track with our savant ways, we head into Week 4, which is equivalent to the 2nd quarter of the regular season. We’ve got 2 unbeaten teams, 2 winless teams,…
Ok, so last week our crystal ball must have been a bit blurry. We went 1-4 in our Week 2 Pregame Picks and that’s just not acceptable. So, this week we’re going back to the basics, putting our fandom away, and just making smart decisions here. So, behold….here are our Week 3 Previews and ROCK…
So, Week 2 happened and I’m pretty sure we went 5-0 in our pregame predictions. ..No need to fact check that! We’re just that good. GB Gamblers, Irish Pride, and Darque Warriors move on to 2-0. Strong start for these 3, while the Midway Monsters, Jesters, and Top Dawgs fall to 0-3. Congrats Bashers on…
Well, we’re one week into the season. So, that means half of us are undefeated…and the other half are, well, you know. Darque Warriors, Joe Buck Yourself, Irish Pride, GB Gamblers, and The Pimps are all 1-0 and just yacking it up. Congrats. We’re so so happy for you As for the other half…… But,…
A bit late, a bit short, but the 2024 content begins. So…..Week 1 happened. Football returned and it was great. …well, for 5 teams it was even better. The champ started his “Defend The Title Tour” off with a win. In fact, 3 out of the 4 playoff teams from last year started out with…
Teams have been assigned for the 33 Pool. Check out the randomization process. Now, head on over to the pool’s homepage to view the grid and follow along. Good luck everyone!
The draft board is filled and the rosters are set. It’s time to turn our attention to the aftermath of the Crunchtime Draft and assess the damage. Did you snag those coveted sleepers or reach for a bust? Did your strategy pay off or leave you scrambling for waiver wire pickups? We’re diving deep into…
Introducing the latest addition to the Crunchtime Fantasy Football League, Tacoman9000! No one knows whether Hector will be cooking up a championship-winning game plan or if his strategies are as soft as a flour tortilla. Either way, they have big shoes to fill as they take over the Sons Of Anarchy squad. Welcome to the…
We are just one week away from the 2024 Crunchtime Fantasy Football League Draft. A majority of the league will be in attendance with 2-3 drafting remotely. See below for all the details on draft day. When & where Sunday, September 1st at Noon. @ The Dawg House Payment: $50 is due at the draft….
Welcome to the official release of Joe Buck Yourself’s official logo. JBY put the league to absolute shame in their first year. They finished the regular season with a 10-3 record and took home the regular season title. It was really quite the year. …though we all remember that monumental collapse in the postseason. JUST…
The news hit us a week ago. The Sons Of Anarchy announced their retirement. Since joining the league in 2001, this team has been a driving force, embodying both the spirit of competition and camaraderie. With three championships to their name and countless memorable moments, they’ve set a high bar for fantasy football excellence. Their…
This just in, the 2024 Keeper List. Choose wisely! The Gamblers have the most options, while our champions, the Irish Pride have the fewest. But, who has the best?
The Irish complete a wiild season! After a rollercoaster of a ride, the Irish stepped up and finished strong. They battled a tough schedule (most points scored against) to take the trophy home.
The regular season is a done deal and the playoffs are here! Pretty exciting, right? Well, if we didn’t have this shitshow QUADfecta of playoff teams, it would be. Let’s take a different approach and break it down why none of these teams need to win it all. Ok, ok, maybe one of these teams…
Week 12 has arrived and we are down to just 2 weeks to go in the regular season. Two “clinches” happened this past week. As for this weeks clinching scenarios, we have quite a few. Numerous team are at both ends of the board. Let’s take a look. TEAMS THAT HAVE CLINCHED Joe Buck Yourself…
We’re down to 3 weeks left in the regular season. It’s time to put up or shut up. We’ve got our first team locked in after a win last week and somehow no one is officially eliminated yet. TEAMS THAT HAVE CLINCHED Joe Buck Yourself (9-1) already CLINCHED A PLAYOFF SPOT! CAN CLINCH THE REGULAR…
We are down to 4 weeks left in the regular season. Last week, Joe Buck Yourself had a chance to clinch his playoff spot very early. However, The Pimps stepped up and gave JBY his first loss. So, for the 2nd straight week they will have that chance at locking in a postseason spot. The…
It’s that time of the year and our “PATHS TO THE PLAYOFFS” article will now be a weekly installment for the remainder of the regular season. In the coming weeks, teams will be trying to clinch playoffs spots, while others will be trying to avoid elimination. With the help of our supercomputer, we have crunched…
We’ve got 7 weeks in the books and 6 to go. Everyone is feeling the pressure to pile on the wins to secure their playoff spots. The postseason usually requires 7-8 wins to qualify. This season is certainly looking like an 8-win minimum to reach the top 4. So, key in on that number if…
Ladies and gentlemen, football fanatics, and fantasy aficionados, it’s time to gather ’round for a gridiron gala like no other – “The Midsies”. Crunchtime’s midseason awards. Today, we’re here to shine a spotlight on the gridiron gladiators who have electrified the first half of the season with their incredible performances and game-changing statistics. Get ready…
As we aim for unbiased opinions and fair commentary, sometimes we fail. This matchup preview edition is clearly one of them. Apologies for those offended. ONTO THE GAMES… Game of the week
Season going as planned? Perhaps not. Either way, it’s that time of year, so come out and vent your frustrations or gloat it up at our Midseason Meetup. Drop in any time for the early games to cheer your team, root against the Dolphins, and join the festivities. RSVP Please text The Commish or post…
Well, Week 3 was here and the Dolphins went absolutely ape shit on the Denver Broncos. I dropped in on Ben, Miami, and McE’s little Skype meeting during the game and this is what I saw: Pretty disturbing, yet not surprising. Talk about a game that just wouldn’t end! As for Week 3’s picks, I’ll…
No matter how unpredictable fantasy football can be, there’s an uncanny pattern where certain teams have the upper hand when facing others. We’ve shared our laughs and friendly banter about it, turning those matchups into hilarious or frustrating affairs, depending on where you fall on it. Maybe it’s luck, strategy, or just a strange twist…
Yes, that’s right. You’ve reached the lightly salted version of our Week 3 matchups. There will be no ill will or backhanded comments to any teams here. Well, except to The Pimps. They’re like that bratty little red head kid with the pitchy voice. You just want to…. As we enter Week 3, many are…
Week 1 has come and gone. Five teams won, five teams lost. I’m not sure which loss hurt more. The Irish Pride could have beaten 6 teams last week, with their 95 points scored. Unfortunately, they met the highest scoring team of the week (The Pimps). Or did the Jesters nightmare on Sunday night cause…
The Draft is over and the season is about to begin. Week 1 is where we all have the high hopes of hoisting that trophy at the end of the season. A loss here could be felt as just a small setback for some or as a catastrophic disaster with it all being over for…
After much anticipation the draft has arrived. The Sons of Anarchy drew the #1 pick, but they didn’t seem all too happy about it. However, they used that position to start stockpiling Chief players, beginning with Patrick Mahomes at the #1 spot. That trend continued through the day as they ended up with 5 of…
With just a few days to go, here is the full scoop for Draft Day. WHen & WHere: Sunday, September 3rd at Noon at the Dawg House. Payment: $50 for the league and $20 for Survivor Pool. If you are drafting from home, please sent payment ASAP. If you are coming to the draft, please…
Welcome back to the Crunchtime Fantasy Football League’s 24th season! It’s time to dust off those crystal balls and unleash the gridiron gods once more. As we gather to embark on this rollercoaster of pigskin prowess, let us remember the dramatic highs and despairing lows of the 23rd season. Congrats to the Midway Monsters, who…
What is a survivor pool? Also known as an Eliminator or Knockout Pool, our Survivor Pool is the ultimate “Win or Go Home” challenge. Each week, players just have to pick one NFL team to win their game. Once you choose a team, you cannot use them again this year. Guess correctly and move on. …
Yes, the Midway Monsters won again. Blah Blah Blah. That’s back to back championships for the Monsters and it also ties them with Sons of Anarchy and Top Dawgs for the second most championships (3). The Scallywags (aka Bashers) still have the most (4). Thankfully they’ve been quiet for a few years. With that said….
Week 13 is here and so is that final push for the playoffs. The Swashbuckling Scallywags are currently atop the standings and are the only team who has locked a playoff spot. Five other teams are fighting for the other three spots. Here’s what we know: Four teams below the Scallywags have one less win…
With 10 weeks in the books, we’ve got just 3 regular season games to go. The standings have fluctuated and 7 out of 10 teams still have playoff hopes. The Pimps, Irish Pride, and Laces Out have had a rough season and will be relegated to playoff spoilers from here on out. Let’s have a…
What a rough start! We entered the season with 55 players and after just two weeks 13 players are already eliminated. There used to be a rule in survivor pools. Never pick the Browns! Apparently, a number of people tested that old rule….and look where it got them. Gone in 2 weeks! Put it on…
We’re throwing a curveball here, ladies. Steve Rannazzisi is stopping by to set the draft order. For those of you who watched “The League”, you’ll be very familiar with Steve. He played Kevin, the commish. It’s on Hulu now! Drawn at random. Good luck all!
Did you plant a few seeds last season in hopes for a crop of potential fantasy keepers? Or did you just kick dirt and return this season to tumbleweeds blowing by? Either way, it’s a new year. Anything can happen. A championship could be around the corner. Though, this list could help. Click here for…
They’ve done it. The Midway Monsters pull off the comeback and take the 2021 League Championship! The Jesters put up an impressive first half of this matchup. Tee Higgins (CIN-WR) led the way with 32.4 points and six other players scored double digits giving them a true team effort. At the half, the Jesters had…
Here we are! The Jesters face the Midway Monsters in the 2021 Championship Game. The Jesters, who are just 2 years removed from their 1st League Championship, are the surprising team here. They started the season off in a hole. Through the first six weeks, they had a 1-5 record and looked dead in the…
After 15 weeks, we have a winner. Corey takes the 2021 Survivor Title with a perfect season! “Roadkill” and “Pitter” gave him a run for his money, but both picked the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. The Cardinals were massively upset by the 1 win Detroit Lions by a score of 12-30. Roadkill and Pitter…
The Top Dawgs picked #1 for their first time in franchise history. Christian McCaffrey was selected with that top pick, followed by Alvin Kamara to the Midway Monsters. See the full draft below.
This year’s Survivor Pool went the distance. Ten players entered Week 17 still alive, however only two of them were a perfect 16-0. So, when both players managed to pick winning teams in Week 17, this gave just them the 1st and 2nd place prize pools to share. It’s not very often when this many…
Right out of the gates, the Darque Warriors lit it up. Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson combined for 34 points in their game against the Saints. Many others chipped in, but Ryan Tannehill was the star of the show. He would throw for 273 yards and account for 5 TDs in just the first week….
The dust has settled and our final two teams have been revealed. The Darque Warriors will meet America’s Team (the Top Dawgs) in our 2020 Championship Game. These teams are very familiar with each other as they have already faced off twice this season. The Dawgs took the first game 126-102, while Darque won the…
The Darque Warrriors and GB Gamblers are in a heated battle to see who will advance to the 2020 Championship Game. They entered the 2nd half of this matchup nearly deadlocked at 112 points. With all of this Sunday’s games in the books, the GB Gamblers now have a mere 7 point lead. The Warriors…
Without one cancelled game….we made it. The 2020 Crunchtime Playoffs begin now! The #1 seeded GB Gamblers face off for the next 2 weeks against a determined Darque Warriors team. It’s no secret the Gamblers lean on Patrick Mahomes and their high scoring offense. However, the Warriors have shown that they can light up the…
At the time of this posting it is unofficial. However, it appears that the GB Gamblers have edged their way into the top spot at the very last minute. Their nail-biter win over the Jesters and the Irish Pride’s Week 12 loss gives the Gamblers another Regular Season Title and the #1 seed for the…
With the 2020 regular season is now in the books, we can look at one of our payout categories….the Top 5 scores of the regular season. Below is a list of the top 20 highest scores. Also, for $hits and giggles are the bottom 20 scores achieved this year. It appears the we had our…
While playoff seeds are still to be determined by the Steelers/Ravens game, we do know the 4 teams that will be making it to the playoffs. The Irish Pride, GB Gamblers, Top Dawgs, and Darque Warriors are in. Now all we have to do is wait for this odd Wednesday game to lock in where…
This is it! The last week of the Fantasy Football regular season is upon us. The Irish Pride’s win in Week 11 clinched themselves a playoff berth. The Top Dawgs and GB Gamblers also won, but haven’t officially clinched their postseason dreams. However, the teams below them would need scoring bananzas to overtake them in…
With 10 weeks of fantasy football in the books, we have just 2 weeks of the regular season to go. Though the Swashbuckling Scallywags won this past week, their playoff chances have vanished. Due to the GB Gamblers and Darque Warriors winning this past week, the minumum amount of wins now needed to make the…
We have two teams on pace to set quite historic regular season records. The Irish pride are currently holding a 7-1 record, which is a 87.5 win percentage. This is currently better than the Top Dawgs 2002 winning percentage of 85.7% (12-2 record). That was back when we had 14 regular season games. For the…

UPDATE: DUE TO MULTIPLE STAT CORRECTIONS FOR JOSH ALLEN, THIS GAME IS A TIE!! Oh what a game. The Scallywags do the Monsters dirty and win by a mere 0.02 points on Monday Night. That’s less than 1 yard! Congrats to the Scallywags on advancing to 2-0, but oh those poor Midway Monsters drop to…

I’ve been on the fence about our Fantasy Draft. While we have been cautious with everything that we’ve done in the past few months, I do want things to get back to normal. We could get around the COVID worries by drafting outside and doing the whole distancing thing. However, I have a PILE of…
Welcome back everyone. I hope all is well in this crazy new world. This football season is more than likely going to be a bumpy one. Games may be cancelled, players will come down with COVID, and the season could possibly be shortened. With these possibilities, we need to add some new rules/guidelines to help…
