Fantasy Football Riddle

Postby Orca » Wed May 26, 2010 11:27 am

Ok I got one for you.

the league in question is a PPR league with team defense and special teams

Last year I made a trade with another owner: Eddie Royal for Owen Daniels (it was dumb...let it go, this is not about my stupidity :))

That week him and I played against each other:

I didn't start Eddie Royal, but had I started him, I would have gotten 0 points.

However, Eddie Royal managed to score 12 points for the other team, the team he was no longer on, against me!


How is that possible? Can anyone guess?

um... gino, you need to find something to do. And the answer to this riddle better not be Jamaal Charles. :twisted:

Taking a guess because I too have nothing better to do:

Royal played on thursday, you traded for him on friday? And your league had some strange rules where the trade auto processed rather than wait for the next week?
DLF I Romo, Mathews, DMC, Murray, AJohnson, Welker, Wayne, Nelson, Finley
DLF II Peyton, McCoy, Ballard, DJackson, VJackson, DMoore, Welker, Gronk
DLF R Cam, AP, Foster, RWilliams, Nicks, SSmith, Floyd, Hill, Gresham, Keller
DLF U Eli, DMC, CJ2k, Sproles, Ballard, AJ Green, VJackson, Graham, Gresham

I'm gonna guess that with your league scoring, you don't get credit for kickoff and punt returns for the player. Your opponent had the Broncos defense and Royal had 2 returns for TDs.

Great guess Scott, I think you got it right!

Week 6 last season Royal had 2 returns for TD's...

BINGO!

Great Call

And yes I have too much time on my hands.

For the record, other acceptable answers could have been:

1. Jamaal Charles. (good guess Jeremy)
2. I don't know but I am sure Fendi Onobun does.

Yupper.

Looking back, I screwed up the riddle, but it still worked. Actually both me and the other team got all 12 of his points because we do get the TD's if a player scores, but it still didn't mess up the meat of the riddle :).
