Give Thanks, Week 12 is Finally in the Books

Week 12, the longest week in NFL history, is finally in the books, and a familiar name won the week.

TroyA pulled out a 427, to win the marathon week, thanks to a lineup featuring J. Allen, Fitzpatrick, Gibson, Gallman, Hines, T. Hill, Parker, Kelce, Hopkins and the Steelers D.

JohnS took second, with a 425, with a roster led by Mahomes, Cousins, Gallman, T. Hill, Kelce, Gay and the Steelers D.

This is TroyA‘s first weekly win since Week 14 last season, and JohnS‘ first pay day ever. Congratulations to both owners on the strong showing in Week 12.

We had five owners total (Kerry (411), Kim (409) and Eric (405) top 400 points this week. Kudos to all of you.

Then consider the odd case of my cousin David, who scored a 349, his second best score of the season — good enough to finish in the Top 10 this week — and still winds up third in his own household behind his son JohnS and wife Kerry. It’s been a tough year for David, whose Cowboys aren’t exactly lighting things up on the field.

The Leaderboard:
The high scores also had an impact on the leaderboard, as things suddenly got a lot tighter at the top. And look who is suddenly back in the conversation?

Andrew (3179)
JohnK. (3140)
Eric (3108)
TroyA (3072)
Major (3065)
Heather, Kim, Trent, Mr. Eames, and Kerry round out the Top 10.
With five weeks remaining, this looks like it might go down to the wire.

Housekeeping:

Speaking of trades, as some owners start to exceed 50 trades, remember each trade over 50 costs .50.

We have 29 owners so far. If we had one more owner we’ll have 30 owners and we could add one more pay out spot.

Thanks to everyone who has sent payment already. I’m waiting on payment from one owner. $30 covers your initial lineup and first 50 trades.

Looking Ahead:

That’s it for Week 12.

Please double check my work and let me know if you see any scoring errors. 

No Thursday Night Game in Week 13

Bye Week: Carolina and Tampa Bay

Stay safe and well.

Good luck to all in Week 13 – final week of the current play list.
