RotoGrinders Rankings Update: HixvilleHunk Jumps to #3
HixvilleHunk (#3) created waves in the Daily Fantasy industry when word of his heater in which he grinded out a $20,000 profit took place to start out this MLB season. It’s a big deal for a Grinder to reach the Top 10 in the Overall Grinders Rankings. If they get there, it’s an even bigger deal to gain just 1 spot during the one week rankings update. If they somehow jump two spots, then they’re guaranteed to make the headlines for the Rankings Update article. This week, HixvilleHunk jumped four spots. This further solidifies his role as one of the top Grinders in the industry today. Now that he’s all the way up to #3, he faces the daunting task of nearly doubling his total Grinder Points to reach the #2 spot. Few have made it to a spot to challenge #1 Kaiseroll13 and #2 Rudzia555 before; None have succeeded. HixvilleHunk (real name Ryan H.) seems to be the real deal, and could be the first to challenge these two for a top spot.
Movers and Shakers
HixvilleHunk’s huge week managed to overshadow some other highly notable weeks by Grinders. DraftStreet ChatBox extraordinaire, likdeeznutz’s tattoo of his favorite site, must have motivated him to step up his game; ‘Lik’ jumped a huge 12 spots this week up to 63rd! Up-and-comer DB730 has one of the more exponentially explosive charts on the site. It perfectly represents his growth in the game as of late, as DB shot up a massive 10 spots over the past week. Look for more out of db730 moving forward,
Rounding out our big rankings climbers for the week we have two more highly respected names in the RotoGrinders community: RotoKevin (#85) and Sprizouse (#68). Both Grinders contribute strategy blogs and articles on a regular basis, and it is clear they know what they’re talking about, because over the past week, both Grinders jumped 9 spots!
Congrats to all who had a great week! Now, let’s take a closer look at the Top 25, Monthly Leaderboard, and Seasonal Leaderboards:

July MGLB
Notes: It’s not official as July 31st results aren’t in the system yet, but with three times as many points as second and third place (Frogman and Naapstermaan), this one is in the bag. Hix is on a tear we haven’t seen before since RotoGrinders launched.

Past MGLB Results: June
Notes: June’s Monthly Leaderboard results were much closer than July’s, but the outcome was exactly the same. The overarching theme of this article is that Hix is in dominant form like the industry hasn’t seen since Kaiseroll and Rudzia were at their best.

Seasonal Leaderboard
Notes: Yes, Hix is also dominating MLB season. However, we’re only about half-way done (factoring in playoffs). Anyone in the Top 10 still has a shot to win the [soon-to-be coveted] Custom Avatar for winning our Seasonal Leaderboard.
