Chilangos Win First Epic Title!

Congrats to Isai on winning his first ever Epic X fantasy football championship! We will get to his recap in a minute but first some league business: - Updated Draft Order: 1. Chris 2. Jonathan 3. Tyler 4. Josh/Phil 5. Kevin 6. Frankie 7/8 - Will be officially determined tonight between Ian and Chad 9. Paul 10. Isai Our draft board on the spreadsheet is all but updated (pending Ian and Chad's result) with all of the offseason trades already added in. Once you look at the board, feels like Frankie, Kevin and Paul have a nice head start with Keepers and/or draft picks! - The season is now over and we enter our annual "dark zone" on transactions. Obviously I can't stop any deals from being made in back alleys but nothing can be announced until kickoff of the first NFL playoff game. Once deals have been announced, please add them to the "Offseason Trades" column on the "Trades" tab of our spreadsheet. - Also on the spreadsheet, please go to the "R...

Season 1 of the Hand Sanitizer Fantasy Hockey League

Even though there has been 3 seasons of the Hand Sanitizer fantasy hockey league so far, 2021 will be it's first as an official Triple Crown League. Hall of Fame WILL count towards winning percentage, division champions and league champions. Incredibly, out of all of our fantasy leagues, this is the first that will consist of 12 teams (three divisions of four teams each). Very impressed with the interest and turnout for a startup hockey league.

Epic X Week 12 Power Rankings

By Kevin Turley Note: These rankings are being released late this week because A: there is a game being played right now. On a Wednesday afternoon. Crazy. B: On Sunday I got sick and tested positive for COVID. It’s been like the flu for me. Life and work have been a lot to navigate - but I am feeling better today. If you need me, I’m quarantined until Dec. 9. You know where I am.   #1 Paul (Last week #1) Paul only scored the 4th highest amount of team points this week. This is the scoring week that his fellow playoff contenders want to see. Good. But not great. Paul is going to have to land on on a lineup. Does Montgomery sit? Is Thomas a must start without a passing QB at the helm in New Orleans?? Make no mistake. Wilson didn’t have to do much versus the Eagles. Rest up buddy. Phipps is going to need you. Too much talent, had an off week and still won, this team is still the best in the league.  #2 Chad (Last week #4) You can’t score 200 points and not move up. 200 point...

Epic X Week 10 Power Rankings

By Kevin Turley 1. Ian (Last week #1) Chooooo chooooo! All aboard. This train keeps on rolling. The highest scoring team in the league this week. Other teams have gone "all in" to win in years past, but this may be the best we have seen in recent years. Ian was at a crossroads. Throwing caution to the wind he was one of the first teams to "buy" to try and make a run. And boy is he running. The questionable starting of Tua over Ben didn't even matter (-21 points). The McCaffery injury didn't matter (will he get healthy in time for the Epic X playoffs?). Ekeler is still on IR and no Chargers running back has grabbed that role. He will be a beast when he returns. Julio Jones and Jamison Crowder were on bye weeks. It didn't matter. Even with the lucky Valdes-Scantling pickup (30 points), take that away, he still wins this week. Ian is deep and talented. This is the clear cut #1 team in the league this year and it's going to be hard to knock him down from...
