Leonard Floyd Color Rush Jersey

Man. It seems like the off-season just drags on forever. Then football finally starts up https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Mike-Ditka-Jersey , and before you know it, the season’s half over. Crazy how time flies.Anyway, since Jeff’s still out of town, I figured I’d just combine the Fantasy Football Forum article with the WCG Fantasy Tournament 2nd Quarter Recap. One, because it just seemed more efficient, and two, because I’m busy and/or lazy, and just didn’t want to write multiple articles. Sue me.For anyone unfamiliar, the WCG Fantasy Tournament is a 60 person tournament we hold every year. It is comprised of five 12 team divisions which operate independently. They each have a regular season, a 6 team play-off, and an eventual champion. However, the team that scores the most points in the championship games, wins the tournament Richard Dent Color Rush Jersey , bragging rights, and the fabulous prizes listed at the bottom of this article!Now that we’re all caught up, let’s take a look at the current standings as of Week 8:click for full sizeI wrote 4 weeks ago that all the divisions were pretty competitive. That still mostly holds true, but we are starting to see some separation, both at the top and at the bottom of each division. Still though, as the saying goes: anything that can happen, can also happen in reverse. So if you’re sitting at the bottom of your division, hang in there! And if you’re at the top, don’t get complacent!Top Scoring TeamsTJGobig (Kwit’n Iggy Smith It) - 1189Bear0811 (Maserati Monsters) - 1119NjBearsFan51 (no team name) - 1058lemaster (Cohen the Distance) - 1039GentlemanHalas (12 Angry Bears) - 1036Beer Down1 (Danny’s Coffee House) - 1024Lester Wiltfong (no team name) - 1022TrubiskyandWhiskey (no team name) - 1017jcneall (Sweet Butkus) - 1004daniwah (Peanut Tillman No Jam) – 1002jukethelesser (Mitch Betta Have My Money) – 1002Through 8 weeks, we’ve got 11 teams who’ve scored more than 1000 points. That’s an average of at least 125 points per game. That’s a really nice start for all these teams, and points to how competitive this tournament has been so far. There is no one team that seems to be running away with things. Now, not all these teams are leading their divisions (it is a weekly match up tournament after all), but they do have to be considered among the favorites to win the tournament due to their respective team’s high scoring potential.Odds and endsWhen last we checked (week 4) Dan Hampton Jersey , there were 19 teams that had yet to spend a single cent of their FAAB budget on waiver wire acquisitions. Through 8 weeks, that number has dropped to 13. Of course, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been active on the wire, they just haven’t bid any FAAB yet.Again, back in week 4, we only had a single team that had blown through their entire FAAB budget (Sandbag85). Well, he’s got company now as 4 other teams have joined him in the poor house. Hope you all got something good, cause you’re behind the 8-ball from here on out!One thing that I will saw I’m disappointing in, is the shear number of teams that don’t have a team name!There are 20 teams, a full 1⁄3 of the tournament (!) that have unnamed teams.I honestly don’t even know what to say about that.It’s just...Also, as a quick reminder, these are again the fabulous prizes everyone is competing for:Division Champions get a sticker with their Division logo:The overall Tournament Champion gets a custom illustrated shirt:Great first half everyone, and good luck to all heading into the second!

When coaches and general managers are attempting to meticulously carve off the rough edges of their respective teams, that can spell out utter chaos for everyone involved. For coaches this comes in the form of uncomfortable, awkward conversations where they have to reluctantly deflate someone’s dream. For players, unless you’re a star or part of the core, their bags are always packed. They’re prepared for the prospect of change at a moment’s notice. In these moments they realize living out their dream of making themselves reputable in the NFL has to occur elsewhere. At least they hope it will. On Saturday morning, the Bears stayed active. Just before their first appearance at Soldier Field this season, they made two corresponding roster moves. The first was waiving defensive back Josh Simmons. Then with the new space on their 90-man preseason roster free Leonard Floyd Color Rush Jersey , they acquired receiver Joe Walker. A standout at Division II Limestone College in South Carolina, Simmons had signed on with the Bears as an undrafted free agent following the 2019 NFL Draft. A 2019 All-American, Simmons recorded 50 defensed passes and 15 interceptions over the course of an illustrious career as a ball-hawk. The rookie will have to take his notable nose for the ball elsewhere. Simmons’ unfortunate ouster reopens a door for Walker in Chicago. He was a participant in the Bears’ rookie minicamp in May. Evidently his performance there wasn’t enough to warrant a signing. Thankfully for Walker, August in the NFL presents a variety of second, third, and sometimes even fourth chances. However extended Walker’s stay with the Bears ends up being, he’ll have a connection to Matt Nagy and Bilal Nichols—he’s another Delaware football alum. The receiver’s final season with the Blue Hens saw him post 34 receptions for 670 yards and four touchdowns. If Walker’s to actualize his potential as a pro football player, suffice to say it probably won’t happen with the Bears and their receiving corps laden with top-tier ability and depth. Like many of his background, Walker’s new niche is special teams. There’s plenty of time and opportunity—four preseason games and nearly all of August—for Walker to leave an imprint.Robert is the Editor-in-chief of The Blitz Network, the managing editor of Windy City Gridiron, and the Bears beat writer for The Rock River Times.
