League of Tax Free Shopping Midseason Review

By Sean Gorman

While they’re this at running back and quarterback, Manning to Nicks has held its own and sits in first place of the league. Nicks and Antonio Gates have been the team’s top performers, while Frank Gore and Carson Palmer have contributed as well. 

The key to the Tigris Tigers success has been the five straight weeks with BenJarvis Green Ellis scoring a touchdown. The Law Firm scored 35 points last week and has teamed up with Darren McFadden to make a solid running back tandem. There’s weakness at TE with Chris Cooley only averaging around 11 points per game, but this team is solid throughout.

Eli Manning has led this second-place team with 170 points, but Maurice Jone s Drew’s 128 point total is just as important. Mojo has disappointed in the first half, so if he can turn things around Jordan will contend for the title. Look for Hines Ward to build on his 98 points with ease as well, now that Big Ben is back.

At 4-4, Montclair Moonshine’s clear issue is at running back. While Michael Turner has led the way with 119 points, there isn’t much depth behind him. Turner’s teammate Roddy White had led the way for the wide receivers, with his 198 points being the most of the team. Marcedes Lewis has been a pleasant surprise with 98 points while Matt Schaub has picked it up in recent weeks and sits at 134 points.

The efforts of Arian Foster has driven the Franchise for Kicking Your Ass, but Randy Moss’ 80 points has been a major disappointment. Matt Ryan now has a bonafide number one option in Roddy White, and his 171 points shows how comfortable he has become in the offense. Speaking of wideouts, Steve Smith and Jeremy Maclin have both been solid, but inconsistent contributors with just over 100 points.

Compton Colons has a couple players who have performed well early but may not continue that level of play. Tom Brady’s numbers will decrease without Randy Moss and Austin Collie will not finish at the same pace that got him to his 147 points. Colons has four solid backs, with LT, Peyton Hillis, Steven Jackson and Ahmad Bradshaw totaling between 127 and 141 points. Depth at this position is key, so Colons will compete all season.

Wookies owns two QBS that have not scored too many points but have enough upside to keep. Mike Vick and Matthew Stafford have both struggled with injuries early in the season, but once theyre on the field they can make an impact. Although Chris Johnson won’t accumulate his 2,500 yard season, the 185 points he had notched are impressive. Jamal Charles gets stronger as the season goes on, watch his total rise from 117 immediately. Brandon Lloyd has been the surprise catalyst of the team, scoring an outstanding 199 points.

Despite Philip Rivers’ ridiculous 240 points, the Clobber Knockers have suffered from horrible running back play and that has hurt its record. Ray Rice hasn’t lived up to expectations with only 106 points and not a single receiver on the team has broke 100 points. The Chargers’ QB won’t be enough, barring a trade this team is in trouble.

The Best Team Ever’s running backs are a lot stronger than the team name: guys like Adrian Peterson (181 points) and LeSean McCoy (159 points) have carried this team. That being said, the receivers are weak and the quarterback play is not up to par. Kerry Collins and Jay Cutler just wont cut it.

Dreshertown Dragons actually has a decent team. Drew Brees had played well with 235 points, Rashard Mendenhall is living up to the first round hype with 127 points and TO is having a great bounce back season with 155. This team still has a chance if another back along with Mendenhall can step up. 

The two 1-7 teams are in trouble for good reasons. FKAR has no running back over 40 points, so despite strong QB and WR play there isn’t much hope. Kibera has only three starters over 100 points and mediocre running backs. At least Kibera has the return of DeSean Jackson going for him.
