CFFL 10 Point Connections

The 10 point connection.  Something that has been an establishment of the CFFL since the mid to late 90s.  This year there are now 14 out of the 16 teams have a 10 point connection and even some have a back up 10 point connection!

Probably the greatest 10 point connection of all time was the Chislers of 1998. They had two 10 point connections for Randall Cunningham of the Vikings; Cris Carter and Randy Moss.  In fact of the 34 TD passes Cunningham threw 29 of them went to either Moss or Carter (17 and 12 respectively).  That was pretty impressive.


The Crew were famous for the Colt connection with Peyton Manning.  In 2003 they had Manning and Harrison who connected 10 times and in 2004 it was Manning along with Brandon Stokely and Dallas Clark (10 and 5 TDs).

The Ferrets in 2007 took the field with Tony Romo and Owens who connected for 15 times, perhaps the second best duo.  That same year the Mafia struck gold with Favre and Jennings who hit paydirt 12 times. 

Then there was the invention of the 11 point connection, drafting the kicker of the same team to go along with the 10 point connection.  This began with, of course, the Chislers in 2009 with Rivers, Gates and kicker Kaeding (aka Gabe).  This gave them 11 point connections with TD passes and relieved the pressure when the Chargers would stall in the red zone. 

And let's not forget the very latest trend, the Sideways Connection.  This is defined as having the QB and RB from the same team, getting a 10 point connection with a pass to the RB, plus you are in good shape if they run instead. 

Of course the disadvantage of all of this is if you pick a connection from a lame ass team that doesn't get many chances.  Then you are in trouble.  Take for example the year I drafted Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco.  That was brutal!

Here are this years 10 point connections starting with what I believe are the top 2 10 point connections followed by the rest in really no particular order.

Roulette:  Matt Ryan and Julio Jones - Really the only one that has the QB paired with their number one WR.

Titans:  Tannehill, Jennings and Jordan Cameron - Despite all the good natured ribbing of the Titans they probably have the second best 10 point connection since they have 2 main targets.

Chislers: Rivers, Melvin Gordon (sideways connection), Floyd, plus the kicker for the 11 point connection.


Crew:  Brees and Colston

Animals:  Romo and Williams
