Coca Cola Kids - Fantasy Football Champs!!

Now that we have cleaned up all the confetti, we can finally sit down and reflect on the 23/24 Fantasy Football season.  It was a season that started in a pedestrian sort of way for the Coca-Cola Kids with a 3-4 record by week 7.  But then the kids went on a 5-game win streak and found themselves in the hunt with an 8-4 record then ending the regular season at 9-5.  

After that slow start, the Kids' manager started making some tremendous waiver wire pick-ups and seemed to play the hot players at the right time.  It was masterful managing (luck) to earn the five-game win streak as players like Sean Howell emerged mid-season.  When the Kids' manager realized that he had squeezed all he could out of the Miami Dolphins' defense, he swiftly turned to the Buffalo Bills defense which really brought the points the last several weeks of the season.  

Throughout the season Dak Prescott, Stefon Diggs, Amon-Ra St.Brown were stalwarts whom the Kids could count on every weekend.  Genius waiver wire pickups like Najee Harris, Howell, and late-season pickups of Isaiah Likely and Jake Browning kept the winning ways through the end of the season and playoffs.  

The Kids had a playoff run like no other season winning in the following ways: 

Quarterfinals: Bye

Semifinals: 216.70 - 198.26 over Roll Tide (8-6) the 2020 champions

Final: 207.48 - 149.41 over The Watergirl (12-2) the regular season champions. 

The season was topped with raising the Last Murray Standing Fantasy Football League Champion trophy.  The Kids become one of two teams to win the league since 2013 with their second league championship.  To their credit, the other multi-league winning team, LukeIAmYourFather has won the league six times.  

But, the Coca Cola Kids are the 2024 League Champions!
