On Saturday night when he emailed his lineup, Andrew indicated he was going to put his team on automatic pilot from here on out … and promptly scored a 375 to win the week.

Andrew‘s team was led by Allen, Herbert, B. Robinson, Charbonnet, J. Hill, Chase, Adams, Nabers, and Elliott.

Mr. Eames (372) was the runner up, thanks to a lineup led by Burrow, Herbert, B. Robinson, Conner, Charbonnet, J. Hill, Chase, Adams, Elliott and the Ravens D.

This is Andrew‘s first weekly win since Week 4 of 2023 and his second payday of the season. It’s Mr. Eames‘ second payday of the 2024 campaign. Congrats to Mr. “Let it Ride” Andrew and Mr. Eames on their Week 15 success.

The Rookie Report:
In week 15, Chad (323) finished in tenth place overall, which helped him win another week versus his fellow rookie owners. Congrats Chad  on a strong week.

What a week for offense!!! If your team wasn’t over 400 points, you weren’t in the conversation.

Eighteen teams scored over 400, with 23 owners recording their season high in Week 14.

And when all the tabulations and calculations were done, CraigS stands above the fray with a 508. His lineup featured Allen, Tagovailoa, Barkley, Brown, Guerendo, Charbonnet, Chase, Watson, and Bates.

Coming in second was DaveT, thanks to a roster that scored 466 points, led by Burrow, Darnold, Barkley, Pollard, Dowdle, Charbonnet, Jefferson, Smith-Njigba, Jeudy, and Wright.

This is Craig‘s first weekly win since Week 12 of 2022 and DaveT‘s first payday since Week 13 of 2021. I should also mention that CraigS was the very first owner in league history to top 500 points back in the 1999 campaign when he scored 576. He was also league champion in 2001.

Congrats to CraigS and DaveT on their impressive scores in Week 14.

The Rookie Report:
In recent weeks, Beth is running away with the weekly bragging rights. Not only did she win Week 14 with a 433, but check out the leaderboard below. Quite the inaugural campaign. Way to go Beth!

The Leaderboard:
Last week I mentioned the importance of having a high score over 400 points. This week half the league went out and posted one.

Defending champ TroyA holds serve for another week, while Ravi moved back ahead of Trent into second. I hold steady in fourth, while Kerry and Beth both moved up, and David holds on by two points in seventh.
1. TroyA (3724)
2. Ravi (3614)
3. Trent (3606)
4. JohnK. (3571)
5. Kerry (3534)
6. Beth (3530) 
7. David (3528)
Eric (3526) CraigS (3508), and Tom (3475) round out the Top 10.

A lot to be sorted out over the final four weeks of the season.

Rookie owner Beth’s players feasted on the opposition in Week 13, resulting in a 389 to win the week. Her lineup featured Jackson, Tagovailoa, Barkley, Irving, Dowdle, Chase, Smith-Njigba, McConkey, Kelce and Dicker.

Coincidentally, she barely edged her partner, Tom, who posted a 386, but came up just shy. Tom‘s lineup was led by Hurts, Nix, Gibbs, Irving, Dowdle, Chase, Sutton, McConkey, Bowers, Bates and the Broncos D.

This is Beth‘s second weekly win and third pay day of the season and Tom‘s first payday since Week 16 of 2021. Congrats to Beth and Tom on their strong performances in Week 13.

The Rookie Report:
As mentioned above, Beth continues to outpace the competition among the first-year owners.

The Leaderboard:
Another week, another reshuffle of the standings. Defending champ TroyA holds serve and extends his lead, while Trent moves into second, edging Ravi. I hold steady in fourth, while Eric indeed made his move, (on his new replacement hip no less) climbing three spots. And the husband and wife duo of David and Kerry are separated by a single point.
1. TroyA (3348)
2. Trent (3250)
3. Ravi (3239)
4. JohnK. (3167)
5. Eric (3153)
6. Kerry (3152)
7. David (3151)
Beth (3135) CraigS (3133), and Tom (3089) round out the Top 10.

Two couples are in the hunt on the leaderboard.

As a veteran watcher of this league, I’ll throw out this prediction: The biggest wildcards down the stretch are those owners who already have a 400+ (or high 300) point week to their credit. They are one big week from making a dramatic move: (Beth, Major, Mike, RandyH and Ernesto).

In a losing effort to the Seahawks, the Jets K missed a PAT.

Last week, I congratulated Major for welcoming a new addition to his family. This week the new dad earned weekly bragging rights, thanks to a 396. Major‘s lineup was led by L. Jackson, Tua, Barkley, Dowdle, Warren, AJ Brown, Ridley, and Bates.

David takes second, with a 377, thanks to a lineup featuring Daniels, Nix, Barkley, Warren, Smith-Njigba, Bates and the Dolphins D.

This is Major‘s first weekly win since Week 5 of the 2020 campaign, and David‘s first pay day since Week 8 last season. Congrats to Major and David on their strong performances in Week 12.

Believe it or not, with the end of Week 12, the NFL season is now two-thirds over. Man, time flies.

The Rookie Report:
In week 12, Beth (346) earned bragging rights among the newbies, but Rose (328), Bridget (323) and Chad (306) all topped 300 points to finish in the Top 20. Wow!!! Congrats Beth  on a strong week.

The Leaderboard:
Uh-oh! After seven weeks at the top … Ravi‘s luck ran out. TroyA took advantage of a rare off week from Ravi to make his move. Trent held steady in third, and is within striking distance of second. I climbed two spots to sneak just ahead of Kerry who fell to fifth, just three points ahead of her husband David who streaks into the Top 10. CraigS remains in seventh, but look who has started to make his annual move (Eric) toward the money spots.
1. TroyA (3011)
2. Ravi (2915)
3. Trent (2908)
4. JohnK. (2849)

7. CraigS (2828)
Eric (2811), RandyH (2782) and SteveB (2764) round out the Top 10.

As we turn the corner toward December, it looks like we are setting up for a fantastic finish.

Every Sunday morning, I send out our lineups, just in case. In Week 11, turns out I was showing everyone the winning roster.

My team popped a 434 thanks to a lineup led by Purdy, Barkley, Montgomery, Tay. Hill, Jefferson, McConkey, Bowers, Boswell and the Vikings D.

Mike is runner up this week, with a 400, thanks to a lineup featuring Burrow, Barkley, Hall, Tay Hill, Chase, Pickens, Jennings, Fairbairn and the Lions D.

This is my first weekly win since Week 10 of the 2021 season, and Mike‘s first payday since Week 5 of the 2022 campaign. Congrats to Mike on his strong showing in Week 11.

Special Shout Out:

It’s rare that we give a nod to the owner who finished dead last for the week, but a huge shout out to former league champ Major, who welcomed a baby boy this week. Congratulations Major on that awesome news!!!

The Rookie Report:
In week 11, Chad (356) earned bragging rights among the newbies. Congrats Chad  on a strong week.

When he sent in his picks this week, RandyH lamented that he hadn’t topped 300 points in the league in a month. Well, good news Randy, the sub-300 streak is over.

Randy‘s Week 10 team featured Burrow, Tracy, Chase, Kittle, Bates, and the Vikings D to post a 394.

Runner-up was CarlP, who scored a 390, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Conner, White, Chase, Pickens, Kittle and Karty.

This is RandyH‘s second weekly win of the season, and CarlP‘s first payday since Week 9 a year ago. Congrats to RandyH and CarlP on their strong Week 10 showings.

The Rookie Report:
In week 10, Bridget (289) earns her first bragging rights of the season among the newbies, meaning every rookie has won at least one week. Way to go Bridget  on a strong week, which also lifted her out of the cellar in the overall standings as well.

The Leaderboard:
Ravi makes it six weeks in a row, but after that, some seismic changes in the standings as two repeat champs come roaring into contention. The perennial powers of TroyA and RandyH jump three and seven spots respectively. Kerry once again holds steady, while Trent, Tom and CraigS take a tumble.

1. Ravi (2339)

The Chiefs and Bucs put on a show on Monday Night football, and the outcome of our league hung in the balance.

In the end, Beth prevailed 395 to 394 as Hunt and Kelce piled up second half points. Beth might have run away with it, had her lineup included an active player in Box E, but it all worked out in the end.

Beth‘s lineup was led by L. Jackson, Cousins, Barkley, B. Robinson, Jefferson, Z. Flowers, Kelce, Tucker and the Bengals D.

I took second, with a 394, thanks to Week 9 lineup featuring L. Jackson, Cousins, Barkley, B. Robinson, Hunt, Jefferson, Hill, Mooney, Aubrey and the Vikings D.

This is Beth‘s first weekly win ever, and it took her only nine weeks to do it, and my first pay day since Week 10 of the 2021 campaign. Congrats to Beth on the strong showing in Week 9.

The Rookie Report:
Beth becomes the first rookie owner to win a week in the 2024 season. After nine weeks, Beth, Chad and Rose each have three weekly wins among the rookies to their credit.

Despite the Steelers and Giants scoring points on Monday Night, no one challenged Steve Berry, who posted a 359 to win Week 8. Steve‘s winning team featured L. Jackson, Purdy, Henry, Achane, R. Stevenson, Lamb, Diggs, Kittle and the Broncos D.

Kerry (338) was this week’s runner up, thanks to a lineup led by L. Jackson, Purdy, Henry, Mixon, McLaurin, Kittle Seibert and the Chiefs D.

This is Steve Berry‘s first weekly win since Week 2 of the 2022 campaign, when he was a rookie owner, and gives him bragging rights over his peers at Carroll Community College this week. Kerry‘s strong showing is her third pay day in eight weeks, as our former league champ has been the epitome of consistency in 2024. Congrats to Steve and Kerry on their strong performances.

The Rookie Report:

Well, Week 7 came down to the two MNF games before crowning a weekly winner. Mr. Eames, who sent in his picks from Japan this week, edged Ravi by five points to claim the Week 7 bragging rights.

Mr. Eames posted a 380 with a lineup featuring L. Jackson, K. Williams, B. Robinson, Hunt, Chase, London, B. Thomas Jr., Bowers, Seibert and the Bengals D.

Ravi continued his strong 2024 campaign, scoring a 375 thanks to a roster led by L. Jackson, Barkley, Mixon, Jav. Williams, Bigsby, Chase, McLaurin, Kittle and the Broncos D.

This is Mr. Eames first win since Week 5 a year ago, and Ravi‘s second pay day of the 2024 season. Congrats to both on a strong showing in Week 7.

Mr. Eames would also expect me to tell the entire league that his Yankees are into the World Series for the first time since 2009, where they will meet SteveB’s Dodgers. Good luck gentleman.

One final mention on the international theme for this week’s results. Jack just spent a week in Sicily, and also had one of his best weeks of the season, so maybe there is something to be said for leaving the country.

The Rookie Report:
Rose (305) picked up another weekly win among the rookie owners, not to mention a Top 20 finish. Congrats Rose on another strong week.

The Leaderboard:
Ravi bounced back from his poor Week 6 to solidify his place atop the standings, while TroyA jumped into second. Trent and RandyH slid a spot, while Trent’s dad Tom and CraigS climbed a spot.

In his sophomore season, Ernesto scores a 402 to win his first weekly win ever. Ernesto‘s breakthrough week was powered by Love, Purdy, Dobbins, Pollard, Harris, Allgeier, Diggs, Flowers, Kittle, Aubrey and the Steelers D.

Another member of the Class of 2023 was our runner up, as Zach scored a 368, thanks to a lineup led by J. Allen, Purdy, B. Hall, Robinson, Harris, Lamb, Higgins, McBride, Tucker and the Steelers D.

Zach was able to edge out Brenda (367) for second place by one point.

As mentioned above, this is Ernesto‘s first ever weekly win after 24 weeks competing in the league, and coincidentally, Zach‘s first pay day in his second season in the league. Congrats to both sophomores on their strong Week 6 showing.
