Rookie Brett Nabs Week 15 Victory

Christmas came early for rookie owner Brett, who scored a 397 to win the week, after watching his Vikings score an improbable comeback victory.

Brett‘s team was led by Cousins, Henry, Dobbins, Akers, Jefferson, D. Smith, D. Johnson, Kelce, and Patterson.

Runner-up was Jack, who posted a solid 369 to claim second ahead of a pack of owners. Jack’s lineup featured Hurts, Tagovailoa, McCaffery, McKinnon, Jefferson, Kelce and McLaughlin.

This is Brett’s first weekly win ever, and Jack’s second payday of the 2022 campaign. Congrats to Brett and Jack on their strong showings in Week 15.

The Rookie Report:
As noted above, Brett earns bragging rights, with honorable mention to JamesH, who put his team on autopilot and still scored a 367.


The Leaderboard:
The top four spots remained unchanged, albeit Seth and Eric closed the gap on Troy, while Jack squeaked past Mike, and Heather claimed the final money spot.
1. TroyA (4242)
2. Seth (4213) *
3. Eric  (4199) *
4. CraigS (4154)
5. Jack (4152)*
6. Mike (4138)*
7. Heather (4078)
Mr. Eames (4066), David (3989),and JohnK (3896)* round out the top 10.

The numbers tell the story in terms of drama down the homestretch. A mere 43 points separates first and third, and only 16 points separate fourth through sixth.

Three weeks left to crown our 2022 champion.

Housekeeping:
Not all owners took advantage of the free trades offer in Week 15, but a decent number of you have indicated you are putting your lineups on autopilot for the rest of the season.

If that’s your plan, please let me know. Thanks.

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 15.
Please double check my work and let me know if you see any scoring errors. 

Thursday night game:

Jacksonville at NY Jets

NOTE: Most teams will play Saturday, Dec. 24

No more bye weeks. All teams in play from here on out.

Good luck to all in Week 16.
