2016 Week 4 Numbers

It was a bit of a lackluster Week 4 in the CKL, with the 91.3 average score across the league a season low. In fact, this was the lowest average score since Week 11 of last year. Injuries are piling up, we're starting dudes with no experience or limited paths to fantasy success, and we're in a tough as nails 14 team league where there aren't a lot of viable options on the waiver wire. Which leads me to Saturday's (yesterday's) FAAB auction. It was a sneakily substantial set of claims, with only Kirk spending any FAAB bucks. $3 on Quizz Rodgers, who is set to start MNF. And Kirk has already plugged him into his FLEX spot. $3 for a start!? That's cheap as hell. The other four claims were all solid, too. Take another look---folks are doing solid work on the weekends. If you're not, you're falling behind.


Week 4 All-Play Numbers



  • Seven teams are a full 10+ games above .500. That's half the league! Seems like we have a bit of inequality in the league at the moment.
  • The three way tie between Joe, Nathan, and Rookie seems a bit unusual.
  • Kendall's seven all play wins through four weeks of competition is the worst mark since 2011 when Norris started with five. Keep in mind that 2011 was the year the CKL expanded to 14 teams, with Norris drafting young players with an eye on the future. No wonder Kendall changed the name for the first time in the franchise's history.



Week 4 Luck


  • Rookie and Ryan continue to monopolize all the league's good luck.
  • Hard to believe Kendall has the fourth luckiest team to date.
  • Kirk's team is...well...not good, but he's also been pretty unlucky.

Week 4 Jenna Von Oÿ


  • Norris had Jenna the first two weeks, she went out to LA to visit Patrick last week, and now she's in Montana with Ben. Guess she's only down with the better looking guys in the league. Also, it wouldn't be inappropriate to ask her to clean up a bit first, Ben.
  • Kirk and Kendall, kissing kousins on the Friend! ship, with the exact same basement level score of 333.0 points. They're the only two teams who trail the Jenna leader by more points than is historically possible to make up in a given week. The biggest difference between the highest and lowest scoring teams to date is 63.5 points, back in week 1 (Joe high, Yado low).
  • Paul and Corey are hot on Ben's tail. Er, Jenna's tail.

Week 4 Playoff Seed History


  • I've expanded this a bit.
  • Big moves up from Joe and Nathan. Precipitous fall from Ryan. That's what happens when you score the weekly low of 74.0 points.
  • Rookie is the fourth different coach to take over the number one seed. We won't have a fifth in five weeks, though, as only Rookie or Russ can be number one next week, due to their win/loss records.
  • It's pretty grim in the bottom quarter of this table.
