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 Rookie Report:
See above as Luc becomes the first rookie of 2022 to win the week.

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.

Monday Evening Quarterback:

The average score for this week was 308.
For those of you who were disappointed with your scores this week  here are some players who were played by one or fewer owners:

Box A: G. Smith (49), Burrow (48), Fields (34), D. Jones (32)

Box L: Browns (50)

If you picked the top scorers in every box, 566 points were possible this week.

The Extremes:


Highest scoring player: Davante Adams (68)
In his first season with the Raiders, Adams caught 8 passes for 177 yards and two TDs.

Lowest scoring player: Baker Mayfield (0)
He didn’t even play in Week 13, but the former No. 1 pick in 2018 got released by the Panthers on Monday. Ugh!

CraigS Feasts on Thanksgiving Weekend

Every week, CraigS is close, but it took until Week 12 for him to put it all together and earn a weekly win. Craig posts a 367 to win the week, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Brady, Ekeler, Taylor, B. Robinson, Perine, Diggs, Godwin, Kelce, and the Dolphins D.

Rookie owner Dylan cracks the money for the first time all season, scoring a 353 with a team featuring Allen, White, Ekeler, Singletary, Jefferson, Higgins, Wilson, and Kelce, and without making a single trade off his Week 11 lineup.

This is CraigS’s first weekly win since Week 9 last season, and Dylan‘s first payday ever. Congrats to CraigS and Dylan on their strong showings in Week 12, can enjoying a little something extra following Thanksgiving.

The Rookie Report:
As mentioned above, Dylan earns the weekly bragging rights for the second time this season, but Austin also deserves honorable mention, cracking the top 10 with a 346.


The Leaderboard:

1. Eric (3215)*
2. CraigS (3198)
3. TroyA (3172)
4. Mike (3156)*
5. Seth (3125) *
6. Jack (3070)*
7. Mr. Eames (3055)
David (3018), Heather (3004), and Michael (2945)* round out the top 10.

With six weeks to go, Eric continues to hang onto the top spot, but things are getting tight, as only 90 points separates first from fifth. Adding to the drama, three former league champs, CraigS, TroyA and Mike are in the hunt.

Can Eric stave them off to win the league for the first time ever?
Does sophomore owner Seth have what it takes to close strong and claim the title?
A lot to be decided in the final third of the season.

CarlP Edges Kim in Monster Week

Going into Sunday night’s final game, CarlP already had 536 points for the week, with Kim right behind him with 522. How’s that for being scary???

Carl‘s team was led by Burrow, Smith, Ekeler, Jacobs, Walker, Benjamin, Adams, Smith-Schuster, Kelce and Myers.

Seth Locks Up Week 4 Victory

In a battle of sophomore owners, Seth prevails over Ravi, 396 to 379.

Seth‘s winning lineup featured Allen, Barkley, Jacobs, Penny, J. Williams, Kupp, Doubs, Kelce and Bass.

Ravi earned second place thanks to a team led by G. Smith, Goff, Chubb, Hall, Penny, Kelce, Gay and the Cowboys D.

This is Seth’s first weekly win in 22 weeks in the league, and Ravi‘s first payday in one and a quarter seasons. Congrats to Seth and Ravi on their strong showings in Week 4.

The Rookie Report:
Two of our rookie owners had their best showings to date, as Kraig (328) and Austin (304) both finished in the weekly top 10 for the first time. Kraig‘s Dallas Cowboys also improved to 3-1 on the young season.


The Leaderboard:
Week 4 features the debut of the overall standings.

For the uninitiated, we toss out your highest and two lowest scores of the year, and count all the rest.

Former league champion CraigS debuts at the top of the heap.

1. CraigS (357)
2. Seth (350)
3. Brenda (343)
4. Heather (330)
5. Jack (327)

7. David (310)
Ravi (307) and a quartet of owners with 303 (Mr. Eames, JohnK, Kerry and JamesH) round out a super-sized top 10.

It’s particularly fitting that CraigS should be on top this week. As some of you know, Craig wrapped up a spectacular career in the restaurant business on Friday, and is starting the month of October as a newly minted retiree. Congratulations Craig! Here’s to one of the all-time good guys. Enjoy this next chapter in your life.
