After taking several years off, former league champ Dennis closes the 2023 comeback tour with back-to-back weekly wins.
Dennis (406) was the only owner to top 400 points in the finale, thanks to a lineup led by J. Allen, Carr, Taylor, Cooner, T. Hill, Olave, Engam D. Carlson and the Raiders D.
Runner up was Jack, who was on the road in Texas this Sunday, while his team scored a 375, thanks to a roster led by Prescott, Murray, Taylor, A. Jones, Chandler, Lamb, Olave D. Carlson and the Cowboys D.
This is the second weekly win for Dennis in as many weeks, and Jack‘s first pay day since Week 15 of 2022. Congrats to Dennis and Jack on their strong showings in Week 18.
The Rookie Report:
In week 18, Ryan (347) earned the final bragging rights among the new owners. Congrats Ryan on putting a strong finish on your rookie season.

The Extremes:
Highest scoring player: Nico Collins (66)
The Texans wide receiver had a huge night to help Houston earn a playoff berth, but not a single owner played him.
Lowest scoring player: Moody (-2)
A lot of players earned -1 because they did not play, but the 49ers K missed an extra point en route to his team’s loss vs. the Rams.

Extra Trades:
As some owners start to exceed 50 trades on the year, just a reminder that all trades over 50 cost .50 each.
I’ll be sending out messages to each of you re: amounts owed, and/or amount won. We’ll try to settle up ASAP so the winners can receive their money.

Looking Ahead:
That’s it for Week 18 and the 2023 regular season.
As always, I hope you had some fun and enjoyed the season.
Enjoy the postseason and offseason. (I’ll email re: possible playoff fantasy football.)
God willing, I’ll be in touch in early August 2024 to see if you are all interested in doing this again for another season.
Until then, take care.
John K.
