Trader Jame Defeats The Love Bus 119.20-77.36 in Championship Game; 15th Consecutive Week Jame Eclipses 100 Points Scored
True to Its Roots, Key Trade Acquisitions Power Trader Jame to Championship
BEACON, N.Y. – January 1, 2024 – Fantasy football history was made on Sunday night, as Trader Jame defeated The Love Bus, 119.20-77.36, to capture a record third Bobcats4Ever league championship and become the winningest franchise in league history.
“First off, I want to congratulate The Love Bus on a great battle in the Championship Game and a fantastic rivalry all year, as all three of our matchups this season were true tests,” said Trader Jame GM Trader Jame. “You hate for injuries to play a role in the outcome and we certainly feel for Marc, CMC and Alvin, and hope they’ll be back to full strength for 2024. Overall, we’re just really happy for the team, especially our long-time QB Josh Allen who captures his second title with the organization.”
Trader Jame’s 119.20 points were punctuated by another stellar performance by WR CeeDee Lamb, who totaled 33.70 points on 13 catches, 227 receiving yards and a touchdown. After Week 5, Lamb exceeded 15 points in all but one matchup and recorded 20-plus points in six of 11 weeks. Lamb was acquired on Sept. 29 along with a 2024 ninth-round pick in exchange for RB Nick Chubb and a fourth-round pick.
“Definitely one of the trades over the past decade that we’re the proudest of,” said TJGMTJ. “We had to pivot quickly with the unfortunate injury to our good pal Nick, we know what ‘Eights’ is capable of, and he showed that down the stretch.”
Five of Trader Jame’s Week 17 starters were acquired via trade, including WR Nico Collins, RB Rachaad White, TE Dalton Schultz and WR Michael Pittman.
Trader Jame also boasted the top fantasy QB (Josh Allen), top fantasy WR (CeeDee Lamb) and two of the top five fantasy RBs (Raheem Mostert and Rachaad White) in terms of points scored in 2023.
“I think we’re most proud of our 10th round selection of Raheem Mostert,” said TJGMTJ. “Obviously we’re known for our ability to wheel and deal, but I don’t think our scouting staff gets nearly enough credit for what they contribute to our roster construction. I know our group worked hard in the offseason to identify players that we thought would get to the late rounds and could make a difference this season, and that’s exactly what Raheem did for us this year.”
Trader Jame’s Week 17 output of 119.20 marked the 15th consecutive matchup in which the squad recorded at least 100 points. Trader Jame went 3-0 in his rivalry matchups this season and defeated The Love Bus three times en route to the league title. Trader Jame concluded is media availability with some news regarding the 2024 roster.
“We’ll have to see…obviously, we can’t keep Josh any longer but we hope he’ll come back to us in free agency. Our running backs were great for us this year, but we also think we have a potentially strong wide receiver corps with CeeDee, Nico and Michael Pittman Jr…it’s possible we could see all three of those WRs kept on the roster for 2024.”
