FFWC LEADERBOARD FINAL UPDATE
vassa takes it down! A Green Bay + Mark Andrews stack carried them to victory, with the Aaron Rodgers to Aaron Jones touchdown sealing the deal.
180DegreesMiami made things interesting with a Green Bay stack of their own, which included Marquez Valdes-Scantling instead of Jones. The 4th quarter TD for MVS propelled 180DegreesMiami to 2nd place, but they fell less than 4 points short of vassa.
Tough beat for wakeywakey with the goose egg from Jeudy. Even one catch for 5 yards would’ve put them in 3rd place. Three for 30 from Jeudy and they take the whole thing down. Brutal.
Final standings:
1. vassa – 169.12
2. 180DegreesMiami – 165.72
3. mikemc – 164.62
4. zsmiley – 164.20
5. wakeywakey – 163.14
FFWC LEADERBOARD UPDATE AT HALFTIME OF 4PM GAMES
Just hit halftime in Packers/Ravens, good time to take another look at the leaderboard. gennatr12’s Kyler Murray team is still on top, but it only has Joe Mixon still playing.
Of the current entries in the top 20, wakeywakey has by far the most player minutes remaining (116). Jerry Jeudy is getting shut out, but the Davante Adams + Mark Andrews mini stack is looking great through two quarters.
Current top 5:
1. gennatr12 – 157.18
2. youdacao – 150.10
3. wakeywakey – 145.04
4. theWhistlesGoWooo – 144.78
5. iriestylee – 143.30
FFWC LEADERBOARD UPDATE AFTER 1PM GAMES
After the 1PM games, gennatr12 sits at the top with 153.58 fantasy points and a decent cushion of ~10 ahead of number 2, in spite of the dreaded snowflake icon next to their QB pick in Kyler Murray. Surely having a 2nd team in the top 5 will be a welcome comfort.
It’s looking like Brandin Cooks is going to be one of the slate breakers in the championship (serving up 32.20 points at 12.5% ownership).
Here are the current top 5 teams as the afternoon games kick off:
1. gennatr12 – 153.58
2. iriestylee – 144.30
3. theWhistlesGoWooo – 141.68
4. youdacao – 138.50
5. gennatr12 – 130.08
