Fantasy Football Mid-Season Report

The mid-way point in the NFL has passed and it is time to check in on Fantasy Football.   For
my two teams, it has been feast or famine.

The Kamino Clone Kids started the season at 4-0 and have since gone 2-4 with some tough losses.  For example, in week 9 they scored well over 200 points at 226.35 only to lose to the 6-2 Dathomir Rancors who put down 236.90 points.  The bright spot is that Nico Collins was to return from the IR in week 10 to join an incredible wide receiver corps of Zay Flowers, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Quincy Williams.  He returned, but he did not play in week 10.  DK Metcalf should also return in Week 11.  Things are looking up for the Clone Kids. 

The Coca-Cola Kids stumbled out of the gate with a 1-3 record and not breaking 200 points once in the first four games.  They struggled with inconsistent play in the running back position and Will Levis struggled before Derek Carr replaced him to similar results.  In week 5, Trevor Lawrence joined the team and Denver took over the defense and the Kids have gone 3-3 since game 5.  Still two games under .500 at the mid-way point, the Kids need to figure out if Kyler Murray is their quarterback.  Rookie Bo Nix is on the bench waiting to join Trevor Lawrence in the two QB league.  Steady point getters, Jahmyr Gibbs and Brock Bowers are looking for some help from Cee Dee Lamb and Javonte Williams in key positions.  
If the Coca-Cola Kids want to make a run at back-to-back championships, they need to straighten the ship and start putting some points on the board through the second half of the season.  One thing that brings hope is that last year's championship season was not a perfect one.  The second half of the season is when they picked up steam.  So, this is something to work towards for the Coca-Cola Kids.  

I will continue to update the original posts with the weekly match-ups and records.  Here are the links to those two posts for the Kamino Clone Kids and the Coca-Cola Kids:
