Derek Joyal
A longtime 4for4.com member, Derek is somebody
we have seen jump off the radar screen when it comes to winning
competitive fantasy football contests. In 2003, Joyal and Rocco Abbate won the
WMNN-4for4.com Pick Em contest. Joyal made over 500 NFL and
player picks to win. In 2004, competing in
the FFTOC, Derek came in #2 out of 600
managers. Making some very calculating starts each week, Joyal tallied
1904 FFTOC points. Reaching 1900 points in the FFTOC is similar to an
NFL player rushing for 2000 yards in a season - very elite company.
