Cool Hand “No Trades” Luc wins Week 13

Every week all of us make our moves for the current week, taking advantage of optimal matchups. Unless you decide not to make any moves. And that’s how rookie owner Luc won Week 13 with a 388 — by keeping his Week 12 lineup intact.

Luc was led by Mahomes, Brady, McCaffery, Pacheco, Hill, St. Brown, D. Smith, Gould and the 49ers D.

That left poor Seth to settle for second with a 377, thanks to a team featuring Mahomes, Pollard, Robinson, Perine, Hill, St. Brown, Wilson, McLaughlin and the Cowboys D.

This is Luc’s first weekly win ever, and Seth‘s second payday of the 2022 campaign. Congrats to Luc and Seth on their strong showings in lucky Week 13.

The Leaderboard:
Week 13 proved to be terribly unlucky for Eric, who led the overall standings the past four weeks.

1. TroyA  (3538)
2. CraigS (3521)
3. Seth (3502) *
4. Mike (3489)*
5. Eric (3485)*
6. Jack (3409)*
7. Mr. Eames (3358)
Heather (3347), David (3340) and RandyH (3233) round out the top 10.

Eric’s low score this week caused him to tumble into fifth, but there’s no reason for him to despair, as he remains a mere 53 points out of first place. Speaking of first place, the league’s most decorated owner, TroyA, steps into the top spot, with another former champ, CraigS, breathing down his neck, and Mike, a two-time champ, sitting fourth.

Plenty of drama with five weeks to go.

He didn’t even play in Week 13, but the former No. 1 pick in 2018 got released by the Panthers on Monday. Ugh!

Housekeeping:

Exceeding 50 Trades:
As the first few owners start to go over 50 trades, just a reminder that each trade above 50 costs 50 cents each.

Looking Ahead:
That’s it for Week 13.
Please double check my work and let me know if you see any scoring errors.
