Jockeying for Position

Whenever you get the Acevedo family together a natural, proper and healthy hierarchy emerges. Whenever you get the Acevedo family men together in the context of fantasy football everyone is jockeying for position to be at the top of this pyramid of 'The Right Stuff' to borrow from Tom Wolfe.

Since the inception of FFFF in 2006, the standings of the league have not been as competetive as they are now. Four teams are tied at a win percentage of .714 being closely tailed by five more teams one game behind with a win percentage of .571. The point standings clearly show that there really is no dominant team within the league. The total number of points comes to 12,570.80 with the average score being 897.911. Only the top two scorers' (Bears and Buckos) points standing correlate with their overall standing. The Bandits, number three points overall, are in the bottom five. Positions three through nine are a mess as everyone's point totals are overlapping. Ten through fourteen, or the under .500 club, are still putting up a respectable average of 121.891 points per game. The average score per week is only 128.273. That's a four yard rushing touchdown difference. It can be done, watch Reggie Bush do it here.

The second half of the season raises many questions like: who will rise to the top as the clear leader, how will the middle of the pack sift out or which team or teams from the under .500 club will make a run to get into the playoffs. Nothing is decided. The season is long and the competition is good. Just keep jockeying.
