Month: December 2021

Whether it’s COVID, Christmas or just a late-season funk, some of the NFL’s biggest stars and fantasy football studs continue to under perform, and our lineups reflect it. In Week 16, two of our longest tenured owners RandyH (1996) and Tom (1995) avoided the minefields to have strong showings.

RandyH scored a 345 to win the week, thanks to a lineup featuring Herbert, R. Jones, Jackson, Kupp, Renfrow, A. Brown, Andrews, Gay and the Eagles D.

Tom scored a 326 to take second, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Jacobs, Kupp, Renfrow, A. Brown, Andrews, Eberle and the Eagles D.

This is RandyH‘s third weekly win of the season, and Tom’s first payday since Week 17 of the 2016 campaign. Congrats to RandyH and Tom on their strong showings in Week 16.

Rookie Report:
Seth  (286) scored yet another top 10 finish, pretty much wrapping up rookie of the year honors. Congrats Seth.

The Leaderboard:
The top three positions remained unchanged, other than the race has tightened, while Tom made a move up the standings.
1.  JohnK (4459)
2. Eric (4420)

Two weeks remain in the 2021 campaign. Who will emerge as league champ in 2021? Can Eric close the gap to win his first title? Or will TroyA make a run at yet another league crown?
