D - Baltimore, Nittany Dodgers, get their 2nd All Frenzy award. They were 2nd amond Ds with 174 points and 14.5 points per game. This was the Dodgers 2nd All Frenzy Defense.

MVP - There is little suspense in naming LaDanian Tomlinson the MVP in setting the all time record for points in a season for any position, and leading the 2nd place RB by over 100 points. LaDanian was in a class by himself in 2006. This is LaDanian's 1st MVP award. Previous MVPs include Marshall Faulk (2001), Priest Holmes (2002-03), and Peyton Manning (2004-05).

Rookie of the year - Reggie Bush was the draft day favorite for this award, but as we all know he wasn't even the biggest rookie contributor for the Saints this year. Out of no where, undrafted (Frenzy-wise) Marques Colston put up 143 points in 9 games for a 15.9 average to be the #15 WR in Frenzy production. Previous winners include LaDanian Tomlinson (2001), Jeremy Shockey (2002), Anquan Boldin (2003), Nate Kaeding (2004), and Cadillac Williams (2005).

Previous winners include LaDanian Tomlinson (2001), Jeremy Shockey (2002), Anquan Boldin (2003), Nate Kaeding (2004), and Cadillac Williams (2005).

FLAVVED

Maurice Jones-Drew deserve's serious consideration, even if he was only active for 3 weeks and started once :dammit

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

Great write up.

Here are the individual ROYAL HAWAIIAN OPIHI awards for the 2006 regular season:

The "Jeckyl & Hide" Award - QB Michael Vick... red hot one week, and mediocre the next. Man, it's been a crazy ride with him.

"Rookie of the Year" Award - WR Marques Colston... picked him up after week one, signed him to a two year deal (dang, should have been 5!), and despite missing 3 games because of his ankle injury, is the #2 WR on our team, behind only Frenzy 1st Team Torry Holt. No one saw this coming!

"Comeback Player of the Year" - RB Ahman Green... who knew that the old man had something left in him?! The Opihi took a chance on him in the offseason, signing him to a 3-year deal... and it has paid off handsomely. Great season, Ahman.

OPIHI MVP - RB Bryan Westbrook. Week in and week out, he's been as solid as they come. He's not the flashiest RB in the league... nor does he put up the most statistics... but he's worth his contract in gold for his pass-catching abilities.

"Most Likely to Succeed" award - RB Mike Bell... "Mr. Insignificant" (taken dead last in the Frenzy draft) showed his stuff this season, coming out of nowhere to vie for starting time in Denver. Can he overcome the wrath of Skeletor? We shall see...

Actually, it is flawed, but for the wrong reason. I didn't have Colston listed as a rookie, so I'll be updating him to ROY for his 143 points in 9 games. My awards are based on Frenzy points only. Otherwise it would be pointless as you could just look to the NFL for the awards.

I know I know... just trying to give my one bright spot some props!

Rookie of the year - Reggie Bush was the draft day favorite for this award, but as we all know he wasn't even the biggest rookie contributor for the Saints this year.

How many points did Reggie Bush have? I know he was not in the line-up for his huge game a few weeks ago.

Overall, he seemed to do a pretty decent job (probably hard for anyone to live up to all the hype he generated). Heck, he has almost 1,100 all purpose yards, 79 receptions and 6 TD's (rush/receiving). His yards per carry is pretty weak but I can't imagine he is that far out of the Top 25 RB's with those overall numbers.

After a couple of big weeks, Bush is up to #17 among RBs in Frenzy scoring (not games played, but actual total points). Colston, after missing a few weeks due to injury is still the #14 wide receiver.

I didn't mean to knock Bush as much to give props to Colston. I think people have been far to critical of Bush to date, and I think he'll produce as people expected pre draft when he gets more consistent touches (ie, more running opportunities), but Colston was on fire all season until his injury.

Bush is up to #17 among RBs

Well, maybe he will slow down a little now (since it is only going to cost me more in salary bump if he keeps scoring more points).

As for Colston I agree that he has been extremely impressive and deserving of ROY honors.

Actually, this raises an interesting question about how well rookies have done at the different positions. I am guessing Michael Clayton's rookie year was pretty strong as well as Caddy. What is the highest a rookie has finished at each of the positions?

Well, I only have track of drafted rookie, but I don't think any others like Colston have slipped through the draft. The top for each position since 2002:

QB - Ben Roethlisberger, #20 in 2004
RB - Clinton Portis, #6 in 2002
WR - Anquan Boldin, #4 in 2003
TE - Jeremy Shockey, #3 in 2002

[Philadelphia Freedom]

Wow, I did not realize that we had such successful rookies.

The other interesting note is that of the four, only Shockey was the first player at his position selected in the draft. Roethlisberger was the 2nd QB, and 15th player selected in 2004. Portis was the 4th RB, and 7th player selected in 2002. An Boldin was the 5th WR, and 13th player selected in 2003.

Ah that funny thing called "The Draft"... it is 100% an inexact science!
