Tale of the Tape: Lisa Ann vs. Gridiron Scholar II

By John Laub

On July 3, SiriusXM hosted the First Annual Independence Day League: A dual-tight end and two-flex positions points-per-reception league. Lisa Ann and myself were invited to participate in the league, and the fantasy football diehards offer our teams for inspection.

 

I always endeavor to draft and manage the fantasy franchise that scores the most points at the end of the season. In an attempt to take the subjectivity out of the analysis, I researched the season-long projections on three major sites—ESPN.com, FantasyPros.com and CBSSportsline.com—and computed the average points scored by players at the end of the season.

 

Afterwards, I calculated the total points of the projected starting lineups of Lisa Ann and myself, and the results are tabulated in charts for readers to examine and analyze.
