Weekly Rankings Update: Vegas Baby!
Hello sports fans! Welcome to the next edition of the Weekly Rankings. We had another big tourney last weekend on FanThrowDown which was taken down by a hot player. The big news is the huge weekend in RotoGrinders land. Many of us are travelling to Las Vegas for week one of the NFL season. DraftKings has decided that this trip itself wasn’t enough fun for everyone, so they blasted us with a Million Dollar Week One Prizepool which a lot of the big players will be sweating together from Lagasse’s Stadium.
This was supposed to be the “Poolside Edition” of the Weekly Update, but unfortunately it has decided to rain here in Vegas today, so I don’t have any great bikini pictures to post in here. What I do have is an approximation of what it’s going to look like Saturday night when Beermakersfan, FantasyNomad and myself start to get our groove on.
This week MikeLeone took down another huge guaranteed prize pool by taking down the $25,000 first prize in the GrandSlam on FanThrowdown. Congrats to him on another big score. I forgot I was on Vegas time and gotta keep this short today, so onto the rankings!

With a ton of College Football action last weekend, we see some of those guys who put in a ton of play last week sitting atop the leaders. If you’re not following StLouisCardinals84 CFB picks, you’re costing yourself money. My spies tell me that Birdwings is putting in a ton of NFL this week. Where will Condia go after his huge first week of expected volume?
