2009 Fantasy Football MVP's

I thought it would be fun to do a rundown of the final numbers for the players on my fantasy football teams. I started with the ESPN leagues, and was going to do the Yahoo! league, but for two reasons, I didn't. 1) I didn't really care about the Yahoo! league, and 2) They started using decimal points in their scores, and I didn't want to mess with it. Don't judge me.

First, the awards and criteria:

1) Super Sub - the player with the most average points with only 1 or 2 starts

2) Best Week - the player with the highest single week score of the season

3) 1st Team - played at least 5 games and averaged 10 points/game

4) Weekly MVP - the high scorer of the week

5) Overall MVP - the highest scorer of the season

ESPN League Bricksquad: Veedersburg Killer Wombats MVP's

1) Super Sub - K Rob Bironas, 2 starts, 12 points on average

2) Best Week - RB Adrian Peterson, Week 1, 37 points

3) 1st Team: QB Philip Rivers (14 starts, 17.07 points), RB Adrian Peterson (16 starts, 17.67 points), RB Joseph Addai (13 starts, 12.76 points), WR Reggie Wayne (14 starts, 12.28 points), D/ST Bears (5 starts, 12.6 points)

1) Super Sub - RB Jerome Harrison, 2 starts 19 points on average

2) Best Week - QB Drew Brees, Week 1, 48 points

4) Weekly MVP - QB Drew Brees 9, RB Pierre Thomas 2, D/ST Ravens 2, WR White 2, WR Rice 1, RB Rice 1, D/ST Seahawks 1

5) Overall MVP - QB Drew Brees, 348 points

Since the Hillsboro Rabid Monkeys is a keeper league, I'll be looking at this kind of stuff to help me out in deciding who to keep. It's a good bet that Drew Brees and Ray Rice will be on my team next season, but the real question is, "Who else?" That will be answered next season!
