To paraphrase Bill Parcells, you are what your fantasy football record says you are. That is sobering news for some folks this week, as our CI Fantasy Football League week 4 results and updated standings show some better teams separating from the pack while others lag behind.
A handful of unbeaten teams remain, while several severely beaten teams struggle to find their footing in the treacherous world of CI Fantasy Football.

Commissioner’s Week 4 Spin: This league is pretty well matched. No longer is any one team undefeated or on a losing streak, and it’s become a tight race. Week 4 saw six teams break 100, including your Commissioner who, thanks to a last-minute pickup of Rams QB Jared Goff, is officially a threat.
Winners in Week 4 include Team Wynn (87.4), Team Schutzer (122.4), Mr. McGibblets (127.5), Bitter Donkeys (147.8) and Smiling Mallards (with a whopping 167.7). Hopefully Mallards’ game falls as your Commish takes them on in Week 5.
