Been a while since I posted anything since hte season is over but I needed to get back and put up end of season stats and award info. Let's start with some individual best games.

On defense he had a defensed pass and 2 picks, one of which was a Pick-Six. This was worth 73 fantasy points.

We now get to season awards. The awards are broken out into 3 categories based on attendance level. "Die Hards" attended at least 18 games (half of the games we played). The "Regulars" attended 12-17 games. The "Fairweather" players attended at least 3 but less than 12. This may seem like a silly category but we had a few players who only attended a few times due to other committments but had amazing games in those few they attended. Using these criteria, we had 11 Die Hards, 10 Regulars, and 17 Fairweather players. We also had 54 other players who came out once or twice. So in total, we had 92 different people come out and play this year. On to the Awards:

Mr. Sure Hands Awards go to the players with the highest reception rate (catches per target):
Die Hards - Chris with 63.11%
Regulars - Kuzi with 57.14%

Chris Carter Awards are named after the man who only caught TDs (TDs per catch):
Die Hards -Jesse 31.00%
Regulars - Curtis 30.00%
Fairweather - Hoppe 33.00%, Jeremy 33.00%, and Paul 33.00%

QBs of the Year are named are based on passing TDs and passing Yards:

Offensive Players of the Year:
Die Hards - Nick had more passing yards and more passing TDs and fewer picks than all other QBs put together
Regulars - Jimmy led in average catches, yards, and TDs per game
FairWeather - Paul - This may be a bit of a bit of a judgement call by me because Cueva had slightly more catches and yards per game but Paul was MVP in 2 of his 3 games, that's amazing.
