Pglulo Joins GLB At #42 Overall!
I can’t remember the last time the rankings had this many notable movers in a one week span. Almost every member of the Top-25 either moved up or down, we had 8 new players on the top-100 GLB, and 13 players moved up at least 5 places this week. The addition of the DraftDay results to rankings clearly had a heavy impact! There were a ton of headline worthy stories so let’s recognize all of them in this week’s rankings article.
Top-25 Movement
Holy cow, 10 of the top-25 grinders moved up the leaderboard this week which is absolutely absurd. Here they are:
- Mbomb44 – A three place jump from 7th overall pushed daily fantasy stud Mbomb44 into the top-5 at 4th overall this week. Really impressive but not remotely surprising when you realize he has 212K in winnings from January in his RG profile.
- Notorious – Another week with Notorious moving on up. He slid up one spot a week ago and another 6K week of winnings pushed him up to 12th overall from 13th a week ago.
- Bluestem89 – $4K in winnings this week was enough to push Bluestem89 up to places this week to 13th overall. Congrats!
- Mickdawgx81 – Put two more spots on the board for Mickdawg who continues to rise. This week it was a jump from 16th to 14th overall!
- Perseverane – Continuing on the lines of 2 place jumps, next on the GLB is Perseverance who moved 2 spots from 17th to 15th overall this week. Great work again from a rising DFS star.
- Hixvillehunk – DSFC Finalist Hixvillehunk made the most noise within the Top-25 this week. Climbing four spots to #16 overall up from 20th a week ago.
- Heelsman – Up one spot from 18th a week ago is Heelsman, whose big week was enough to land him at 17th on the overall leaderboard. Great stuff from Heelsman.
- Birdwings – Birdwings is another notable this week moving multiple places again. 3 more spots in the past 7 days land Birdwings at 18th overall up from 21st last week.
- Bcrev229 – Bcrev229 sees that 3 place jump and matches it with a 3 spot move of his own. Up from 23rd last week and now standing at 20th overall!
- Rooks19 – Rounding out the Top-25 movers is Rooks19 who was able to jump up another spot from 24th to more safely in the Top-25 at 23rd overall.
