Crown Chmielewski: A Bold Victory

Week 9 Review - Fancy Football III

King Chris Emerges Victorious

Chris Chmielewski earned the crown this week with a commanding performance in Fancy Football III. Scoring an impressive 192.8 points, Chris secured top honors by deftly navigating the player pool. His selection of Mike Evans, who dazzled with 39.0 points, and DK Metcalf, who chipped in with 30.0 points, were key to his success. Despite Aaron Jones underachieving with a mere 3.9 points, the rest of Chris's lineup more than made up for it, bringing him his second consecutive win.

Notable Near-Misses and Surprises

While Cameron Mahoney finished second with 168.4 points, he still wowed us by drafting Jaylen Samuels, who provided great value for only 4000 salary. Third-ranked Nick Inzerillo had an incredible pick with Tyler Lockett, whose stellar 43.2 points could’ve brought him closer to the top without the anchor of Keke Coutee at zero points.

Rising Stars and Fallen Heroes

This week, Kenyan Drake turned heads by delivering an unexpected 31.2 points, making him one of the top value players despite being drafted by only one contestant, Charlie Weller. On the other hand, many highly-drafted players failed to deliver, including Aaron Jones and Stefon Diggs. Diggs, in particular, left his sole drafter, CJ O'Neil, in a difficult spot with only 2.6 points.

League Standings Shake-Up

Chris Chmielewski's triumph propels him to 5th in the standings, continuing his upward trajectory with his best score this season. Meanwhile, Evan Devoe regained his first-place position overall, narrowly beating out Zachary Wand, who impressively extends a winning streak to four weeks. On the flip side, Connor Buxton struggles with a four-week losing streak, highlighting the competitive nature of our Fancy Football league.
