Brissett and Forget It: Alex Richter rules Week 11

Week 11 — Fancy Football IX

How the crown was won

Alex Richter claimed the crown with 168.6 in a low‑chalk masterclass (9.6). He rode a three-headed hammer: TreVeyon Henderson (32.3), George Pickens (32.4), and a solo‑drafted Jacoby Brissett (26.9) that proved to be the slate’s sneakiest QB. Sharp darts like Greg Dortch (18.6) and Drake London (21.9) added steady lift, while a steady Jaguars D/ST chipped in. Just as importantly, Alex sidestepped the week’s landmines—no Ja'Marr Chase, DeVonta Smith, Josh Jacobs, or Chargers D/ST—and that avoidance was half the victory.

So close for Eric

Eric Wilde (163.3) made it sweaty behind a week-high from Josh Allen (47.7) plus strong hits with De'Von Achane (24.5) and TreVeyon Henderson (32.3). In the end, lighter outputs from depth plays like Luther Burden III, Oronde Gadsden II, and DeMario Douglas kept him five points shy.

The podium snapshot

• 1st: Alex Richter — anchored by TreVeyon Henderson, George Pickens, and lone‑wolf Jacoby Brissett
• 2nd: Eric Wilde — the Josh Allen nuke wasn’t quite enough
• 3rd: Colin Santee (135.0) — survived a rough Justin Herbert (4.3) thanks to Steelers D/ST (21.0), Travis Kelce (24.1), George Pickens (32.4), and Jameson Williams (19.7)

Value vibes and sharp shots

• Budget breakers: Michael Wilson (36.5 at 3800) supercharged finishes for Ed (4th) and Chris (6th); Trey McBride (30.5) was a one‑manager smash for Chris.
• Defense wins… cash: Steelers D/ST (21.0) buoyed both Colin (3rd) and Jim (5th).
• Salary savers: Christian Watson (20.6 at 4400) helped Michael Petty (7th) and Ryan (10th).
• One-off brilliance: Travis Kelce (24.1) was a sharp solo play in Colin’s lineup.

Chalk landmines that exploded

• Ja'Marr Chase (6.0) dragged ten rosters, and DeVonta Smith (1.8) stung seven more.
• Josh Jacobs (4.0) never got going.
• The killer: Chargers D/ST (-2.0) sank four entries and headlined multiple bottom‑half slides.
• Honorable mention: Quentin Johnston (0.0) blanked four teams.

Standings ripple

• Eric’s surge pushes him into 4th overall and a W3.
• Cameron Mahoney keeps first place and extends to a W3 with a top‑half finish.
• Alex jumps to 20th, posts a new season-best (168.6), and nabs his 5th top‑half result.

Congrats to Alex on earning the crown. On to Week 12—where the tightrope between sharp contrarian plays and chalk doom gets even thinner.
