Month: September 2019

In what amounted to a tight, three-team race, Jake posted a 392 to edge Major for the Week 3 prize, thanks to a lineup led by Mahomes, Brady, Ingram, McCoy, Gore, K. Allen, Hilton, and Kelce.

Major scored a 390, but had to settle for second place, thanks to a team featuring Mahomes, Brady, McCaffery, Ekeler, Gore, J. Jones, Kelce, Lambo and the Pats D.

Tommy had an equally impressive 389, but wound up missing out in heartbreaking fashion.

Congrats to Jake on his first win since Week 15 of last season, and Major‘s first pay day since Week 1 of 2018. Congratulations to both owners on a strong Week 3 showing.

Next week marks the debut of the overall standings. Remember, we throw out your highest score and two lowest scores of the year.

And we’re back.

Week 1 is in the books, and once the early Monday Night Football game ended, most of our lineups started looking very healthy for their 2019 debut.

Rising above it all, SteveB leaned on two Eagles to post a 425. His lineup was led by Wentz, McCaffery, Carson, Ekeler, M. Thomas, Landry, and D. Jackson.

Michael was able to post a 412, thanks to a team led by Mahomes, Stafford, Kamara, Ingram, Hyde, Smith-Schuster, Hilton, Sutton, Kelce and Gostkowski.

It’s Steve‘s first weekly win of the season, but second in a row, having won Week 17 of the 2018 campaign. Michael earns his first payday since Week 12 of last year. Congrats to Steve and Michael on their strong season opener.

Honorable mention to Heather, who also topped 400 points in Week 1.

New Kids on the Block:
We have four rookie owners this season: CraigW, Chaz, Dalton and Nigel. All four of them had spectacular debuts, each scoring north of 300 points in their debut. Way to go gentlemen.

Also a warm welcome back to Dirk, a former league champion who returns in 2019 for the first time in many moons. Glad to have you back.
