After 18 chaotic weeks, the NFL regular season ended on Sunday, and with it the fantasy football competition between the Queen’s Journal and the Western Gazette came to an end.
With the Super Bowl coming up in mid-February, The Journal clinched its second consecutive season victory over the Western...
With American Thanksgiving this week, the NFL will be providing the conversational fodder for millions of families across North America. Beyond watching the stylings of Dak Prescott and Dan Campbell, The Journal will be putting its fantasy football series on hold until after the winter break. So,...
The oddities of this NFL season have now extended into a second week—upsets have continued, and star players have struggled. After an unexpected win last week, The Journal is back in action as the playoff race begins to tighten up and teams prepare for the last few weeks of a grueling regular season.
Starters:...
Last week was one for NFL underdogs as the Jacksonville Jaguars toppled the Buffalo Bills, the Denver Broncos thoroughly beat the Dallas Cowboys, and the Tennessee Titans defeated the Los Angeles Rams. After a disappointing outing from Josh Allen and a stellar game from Justin Herbert, The Journal...
After a surprisingly stellar performance from the Philadelphia Eagles defence and a less than stellar performance from wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, The Journal lost last week’s contest and enters the mid-point of the 2021-22 NFL season at 4-4. With a new lineup and another slate of games on tap for...
After yet another stellar performance from Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen and Rams’ wide receiver Cooper Kupp, The Journal recorded its fourth win of the season to improve to a 4-2 record. In a new twist, bye weeks will soon factor into strategy, requiring new players to slot into the lineup. Here...
Entering the fifth week of the NFL season, the stage is set for an upset. The Arizona Cardinals remain undefeated behind Kyler Murray, while Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars are still looking for their first win.
Bolstered by the impeccable play of the Buffalo Bills defence and Noah Fant,...
From a record-length field goal by Ravens’ kicker Justin Tucker to seal the win against Detroit to a Monday Night revival of the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry, NFL football didn’t disappoint last week.
Finally, after strong performances from Josh Allen, Justin Jefferson, and Chris Carson, The Journal recorded...
From Lamar Jackson’s defeat of Patrick Mahomes in a Sunday night thriller to Jameis Winston and Aaron Rodgers’ reset to more routine performances, the NFL season enters its third week with another exciting slate of games.
With regard to our fantasy performances so far, The Journal is closer to the...
The opening week of the NFL season has come and gone. From an MVP-sized collapse out of Aaron Rodgers, to an MVP-level performance from Jameis Winston, to some wild overtime antics in Las Vegas, NFL football is back. Though The Journal was unsuccessful in last week’s contest against The Western Gazette,...
As the NFL season gets underway this Thursday, The Journal is reviving its “start ‘em, sit ‘em” fantasy football competition with the Western Gazette’s sports section.
Each week, both sections will release five picks for players to start and five to keep on the bench. At the end of the week, each...
Well, we have an official comeback in the works. We beat Western last week in dominant fashion, scoring 42 net points to their pitiful three points. After losing the first two matchups of the series, we have finally evened things up with two weeks to go. That means this week is crucial—if we come...
It feels like we’re in a game of back-and-forth with Western, alternating who wins every week. While we were dealt a loss last week, this pattern would indicate we’ll be coming out on top come Monday night. We’ve crafted a stellar lineup and are confident we’ll be gifting the ‘Stangs with a big ‘L’...
To put it bluntly, last week’s performance stunk.
D.K. Metcalf’s lull continued, being held to under five points, while T.J. Hockenson and the Ravens’ defence also suffered uncharacteristically poor performances. To add to The Journal’s bad luck, our bench players Mike Evans, Mark Andrews, and the...
Last week’s win went to The Gazette, beating The Journal handily by around a 60-point margin and putting them up 1-0 in our weekly competition. Luck wasn’t on The Journal’s side, with its pick for tight end, Austin Hooper, suffering a case of appendicitis before game day, and the Patriots seeing...
