Spectacular Vindication of Principle: The Week They All Hit

Shawn Siegele
November 18, 2024

GUIL: It must be indicative of something, besides the redistribution of wealth. List of possible explanations. One: I’m willing it. Inside where nothing shows, I am the essence of a man spinning double-headed coins, and betting against himself in private atonement for an unremembered past … Two: time has stopped dead, and the single experience of one coin being spun once has been repeated ninety times… On the whole, doubtful. Three: divine intervention … Four: a spectacular vindication of the principle that each individual coin spun individually is as likely to come down heads as tails and therefore should cause no surprise each individual time it does.

– Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

In more than 15 years of fantasy football, Week 11 of 2024 provided the single most exciting regular season Sunday. Led by the RV favorites, scrolling through FFPC redraft live scoring brought up a sea of green as numerous teams blew by the 200-point threshold.

I’m not saying everything went perfectly. When you pull up your dynasty roster and see Trey McBride, Sam LaPorta, and George Kittle all on the same team, well, you’re hoping not to play Tanner Hudson.

Wired on too little sleep — I got done watching the games after 2 a.m. — and too much diet soda, I’m going to run down more games than usual as we get ready for the stretch run.

Private Atonement for an Unremembered Past

Maybe you’re a dynasty reader and a Perpetual Reloading fan? The dynasty squads did even better this week, including the team Colm and I drafted for the 2024 startup workshop, and the team Bjorn and I drafted for the 2023 startup workshop.
