Player Profiles

Jay Gentry - Jtopia Football Club

Also goes by: Jtopia, Commish, Wacky Wavey Inflatable Arm Tube Man

Jay is the commissioner of the Kolkata Fantasy League, and the de facto legal representative for all standing members. A long time sports-agnostic bystander, Jay made the decision in 2018, seemingly unprompted, to become a full blown NFL goblin. Despite the unchecked power that Jay holds in his commissioner title, he is a generous lover leader. League members have raved that he "is okay" and "kind of just decided he was going to be the commissioner", among other showers of praise. Jay achieved a 2nd Place finish in 2020, the inaugural season for the Kolkata Fantasy League.

Carson Warren - MingusBluesBoys

Also goes by: Mr. Warren, Mingus, Carsbob, Idiot

You may recognize our resident DOMS expert from his weekly injury report, but most recognize him by the absolutely insane definition and vascularity of his physique. This Brickhouse has been a steadfast Buccaneers fan, ever since his uncle's cousin's wife's grandfather talked to a mysterious vagrant who had a niece who's friend watched a TikTok of Bruce Arians doing a Fortnite dance. So obviously the Tampa blood runs deep in the Warren household. Carson is known for his extreme defeatist guise, which he will use in an attempt to get sympathy victories from his adversaries.

Carter Myers - Team Guy Myers

Also goes by: Guy Myers, The Owl Guy, Savant, Rip's Son

Carter has taken a similar trajectory as Jay in his journey to becoming a football aficionado, and when he find something he likes, he goes whole hog. In his dark dorm room at Southern Poly in 2012 (which I've been told is a bit of a sausage fest), Carter dedicated himself to Payday 2, and it wasn't until 2020 that he was pulled away by the burly, longing arms of Fantasy Football. Since that time, Carter has taken a meteoric rise to the upper echelon of Football knowledge, though we have yet to see that make any noticeable impact on his ability to succeed in Fantasy. In Avengers: Infinity War (2018) Dr. Strange ominously states that he's seen fourteen million, six hundred and five possible outcomes of the the forthcoming conflict. Carter has seen a similar amount of outcomes for the 2022 draft, because he has literally done that many mock drafts. FantasyPros server management department has sent a cease and desist.

Connor Merry - Team Pup N' Suds

Also goes by: Cmerry, Simble Simba, Moneyball, The Meme Architect

Connor is our resident statistician, meme magician, and Escape Room technician. Connor is the only known U.S. Citizen to subscribe to the iCloud 2TB plan, simply to house his outrageous collection of meme templates, which remain at the ready when called upon. Connor maintained a staunch allegiance to the Tennessee Titans, until Week 1 in 2021, when he and Katelyn had beer dumped on them and were called "poop munchers" by some of Nashville's best. Since that day, Connor has switched his allegiance to Team Pup n Suds (formerly Soul Skaters), of which his team gets it's name. Weird that he only became a fan after they won the Aggressive Inline Skating Championship, fairweather much? Connor is survived by his Yorkie and lifelong companion, Sugar.

Jared Dryden - Motor City Raw Dogs

Also goes by: 27-Dresses, J-Type 327 Nubian, DryGuy

Jared is most well known as former president of the Iota Chi Social Club, an elite group with members spanning all 50 states and many countries across the globe. Jared has a Rain Man-esque ability to generate a joke from any sentence you can think of, much to the chagrin of his leaguemates. Despite only joining the league last year, Jared put up an honorable 4th place finish, with the Raw Dogs coming out on top of the East. Some members have questioned the fairness of Jared's management situation considering he has 9 cats that also assist with management duties. We reached out to one of his assistant managers, Simon, for a statement, but he did not say. Jack, Cookie, Tomato, Poe, and Adeline also declined to comment.

Josh Buford - Boof's Big Beefy Boys

Also goes by: Boof, Boofsauce, ASAP Boof, Maidenless

Boof is our reigning champ, actually, make that two-time reigning champ. Actually, Boof is the only person to have ever won the league. Call it luck, call it love, or whatever you call it, but everywhere I go I keep his picture in my wallet. Honestly, we're all pretty sick of Josh winning, and if he wasn't so darn likeable and nice, we probably would have kicked him out by now on principle alone. Boof is waiver goblin and an absolute trade machine. Remember that episode of Drake and Josh where Megan hustles everyone in Pool by looking like an innocent girl, only to go sicko mode on the green felt? That's like getting a trade request from Josh. It looks fair enough on paper, you look at his face and he has those kind eyes, he's got a smile that makes your booty go pow, and before you know it, you've accepted the trade. Then sure enough, it's week 14, and Boof has taken your dignity, earthly possessions, and will to live. This man absolutely needs to be stopped. Boof has used his Fantasy Football winnings in 485 different Parlay bets, putting 50 cents on the line each time.

Josh West - Staten Island Jokers

Also goes by: Jest, Joshamme, Spain's Hottest Au Pair, Sal's Biggest Fan

Our second and less imposing Josh is none other than Josh West himself. Normally a man of intense thought and strategy, Josh has a tendency to develop a sound drafting plan, only to throw it out the window when he has 6 beers right before the draft. Josh has been famously clowned for his TE-hoarding antics, taking 8 TE's in the first 10 rounds of the draft (probably an exaggeration, who knows at this point). Josh's advantage is that he is well travelled, and gets the inside scoop on local teams during his stints in various big time NFL cities, like Brownsville, TX, Grand Forks, ND, and The Middle of Freaking Nowhere, Hawaii. If you are looking for Josh this football season, you'll likely find him at his favorite Hilo brunch spot, watching Sunday Night Football at 11AM.

Luke Hoffman - Boob plowers

Also goes by: Lou Koffman, Benjamin Ghazi, Duck Luck, Prince of Persia

Luke famously started last season incredibly hot, plowing boobs left and right. It wasn't until the Championship Matchup vs. Boof that he met his match, with the plow coming to an untimely end. Luke has the most to prove out of anyone, he's been chasing redemption since College, where he was repeatedly Mossed by fellow League Member Zach Hanna in multiple exhibition Water Polo matches. Despite his Adonis figure, and a tan that would make Snooki look like Carter in December, Luke remains a constant threat to be a top manager in the league. After the heartbreaking runner-up finish last year, can Luke redeem himself and finally reach damage phase? Or will he be perpetually stuck in blueberry purgatory?

Stephen Hoffman - N/a

Also goes by: Bo0ya, Wonderchild, The Better Looking Hoffman

For those unfamiliar with our newest league member, I circled him to make sure there was no confusion. I was instructed to keep Luke and Stephen adjacent on this list, as there were fears that a name between them could corrupt the Hoffman bloodline. Stephen is the newcomer this year, and has such, he is a total wildcard. If his CS:GO prowess is anything to go off of, then we may be in for a treat, because wow he is really bad. Stephen is a total enigma, let's hope he doesn't get a 9-man black hole on the rest of the league.

Zach Hanna - Chafey's Big Boys

Also goes by: Chafey, ChafeyGaming, Really Nice Guy, Awesome Friend, Man of Stature, Jack of all Trades, Renaissance Man

I will try my best to be unbiased here. Chafey is clearly the best manager of the group, and has been extremely unlucky in years past. That's the only reason he hasn't won the last two years. While he is yet to deliver an impressive performance in the Kolkata Fantasy League, Chafey swears that he "totally won his other league" and cites "trust me guys". We are getting major 'She goes to a different school' energy from this guy.
