FINAL PLAYOFF POOL STANDINGS


CHAMPION-JOEY DIABLO

Joey Diablo wins Fantasy Playoff Pool 24 in convincing fashion. The star of the show was Cooper Kupp, who added two more touchdowns. Kupp caught the game-winning TD of Super Bowl LVI. Kupp is Pool MVP and is the Super Bowl MVP. Kupp finished with 33 catches for 478 and 6 touchdowns and was on each of the top 25 entries. Diablo's other two wide receivers, Hardman and Pringle, combined for 5 TDs. QB Matthew Stafford finishes with 1,188 yard passing, 9 passing TDs and 2 rushing TDs. Stafford had 3 interceptions. Diablo's RB Joe Mixon had 369 scrimmage yards and a score and threw a TD pass in the Super Bowl. The Cincy defense had 8 interceptions and 10 sacs in the playoffs. Rookie kicker Evan McPherson, who was 14 for 14 on FGs, kicked a FG at the end of the first quarter to put Joey Diablo into first place. Then, McPherson chilled out and took in the halftime performance.



SECOND PLACE-MIKE MCCARTHY..........

It’s only the Stafford/Kupp combo that McCarthy has in common with Joey Diablo. McCarthy had WR-Gabriel Davis, who had one of the best fantasy days you’ll ever see. In the divisional round, Davis had 201 yards receiving and 4 TDs! Davis finished the playoffs with 242 yards receiving and 5 TDs and is the 2nd highest scoring WR in the pool. RB Jerrick McKinnon turned his 48 touches into 315 scrimmage yards and a score. McKinnon was the 2nd-highest scoring RB. McCarthy got only one game out of his other RB, Leonard Fournette, who missed the wild card round with a hamstring injury. But, Fournette had over 100 scrimmage yards and 2 TDs in that game. TE Dawson Knox came through with 2 TDs in the wild card game. Kicker Tyler Bass only scored 7 fantasy points, which were 48 less points than the champs got from MCPherson. Fittingly, it was McPherson’s FG late in the 1st quarter of SB56 that pushed McCarthy out of the top position. The L.A. Rams’ defense came through with a TD, 4 INTs and 12 sacs for McCarthy. The 7 sacs by L.A. in SB56 led by Aaron Donald and Von Miller helped keep McCarthy in second place.



3rd PLACE-CHATFANTASYFOOTBALL...........

The gang from Chatfantasyfootball podcast finished in third place. Shectman’s group stacked Stafford and Kupp like the top two finishers and also had the Bengals defense, but all 6 other position players were different from the top two finishers. Chatfantasyfootball worked to squeeze WR Tyreek Hill and TE Travis Kelce on the same roster. The move paid off as both found the end zone in each of their three games. Tyreek finished with 23 catches for 285 yards and 3 scores. Kelce finished with 23 catches for 299 yards and 3 scores. Incredibly, Travis Kelce outscored all other tight ends by 30+ fantasy points for the third consecutive year! Kicker Harrison Butker kicked 4 FG’s and 12 XP. RB Cam Akers made a return from a July achilles tear. Akers got 75 touches in the post-season despite losing two fumbles in the divisional round. Akers ran for 172 yards and had 76 yards receiving. Chatfantasyfootball did not secure third place until Akers' 3rd reception with 3:41 left in SB56.



4th PLACE-MILLS...................

Mills is the only entry without Stafford to finish in the top 5. Mills had the top scoring QB in the pool, Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes threw for 1,057 yards, 11 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Mahomes also rushed for 117 yards. Mills’ running backs were a disappointment, especially Darrel Williams. Darrel was the most selected player in the pool and scored (-1) fantasy points in the playoffs with a lost fumble. Mills had only one spot different from first place Diablo when it came to the WRs, TE, kicker and defense. That was Odell Beckham Jr., who had 21 catches for 288 yards and 2 scores in the playoffs before going down with an ACL tear in the 2nd quarter of the Super Bowl. Mills began SB56 in fourth place. Mills bounced around between 2nd and 4th place despite not having a QB playing in the big game. Kicker Evan McPherson was a big reason for that.



5TH PLACE-SCHAFLER..........

While no teams cracked the top four during the Super Bowl, fifth place was a different story. Workboots was knocked out of the top 5 early in the second quarter by SFink. SFink was surging thanks to a hot start from Odell Beckham Jr. OBJ had the first touchdown of the Super Bowl and his 25-yard catch early in the 2Q pushed SFink into the top five. But, late in the 2Q OBJ went down with an ACL tear. SFink held on to fifth until 9:58 left in the 4Q when Schafler passed him up with a 12-yard run from Joe Mixon. Schafler has Kupp, Stafford, Mixon, Hardman and the Bengals defense in common with the first place winner (Diablo). Schafler got a strong performance from his kicker, Matt Gay, with 8 field goals and 11 extra points. Everyone on Schafler’s roster contributed at least 9 fantasy points RB Ke’Shawn Vaughn had 62 scrimmage yards and a score, WR Cole Beasley had 7 catches for 79 yards and TE Dalton Schultz had 7 catches for 89 yards.

Kupp has 386 yards receiving and 4 scores in the playoffs and is on each of the top 24 rosters as he heads into Super Bowl 56. RB Jerrick McKinnon was a workhorse in the post-season for McCarthy has he turned his 48 touches into 315 scrimmage yards and a score.
