2018 Season - Week 21 (Cont)
Anatomy of a Champion
Johnnie’s fifth Papas Fritas winning season also saw his Sofa Wreckers score their most points ever and the fourth most all-time as they put up 620 points. Two players contributed over 270 points between them, his first year Franchise man Alvin Kamara (114pts for $0.5m) and his 6th round draft pick Patrick Mahomes (164pts for $1m). With Johnnie likely to franchise Mahomes he is already a red hot favourite to repeat. Two receivers also played the whole season 3rd rounder Brandin Cooks (36pts-$1m) and 5th rounder Mike Evans (54pts-$2m). His 1st round pick (14th overall) Kenyan Drake and 2nd rounder Nelson Agholor were both cut, Drake on TD2 after scoring 30 points in 10 weeks at a cost of $1m, while Agholor only lasted 5 weeks as he scored just one TD across that time. Drake was replaced by Marlon Mack who scored 6 times over the final 7 weeks, while Agholor was replaced by Josh Gordon who scored twice before his suspension. At Trading Day 1 Johnnie upgraded his Head Coach from Detroit’s Matt Patricia to the LA Rams Sean McVay who went 8-3 for the Sofa Wreckers and Johnnie rode a triumvirate of kickers Stephen Gostkowski, Cody Parkey and Dan Bailey to total 108 kicking points. With five trades Johnnie used 13 players across the season, none of whom had previously won the Papas Fritas Trophy.
