Cousins Keeps It Classic: Mike Mckenna Earns the Crown

Week 12 in Fancy Football II

A Triumphant Return for Mike Mckenna

In a thrilling week of strategic acumen and fantasy foresight, Mike Mckenna claimed the crown in Week 12 of Fancy Football II. Mike’s lineup was spearheaded by a standout performance from Kirk Cousins, who delivered a massive 30.4 points, proving to be an incredible value pick at just $5,500. While this success pushed Mckenna to the top, it was Cousins's performance against the Green Bay Packers that truly stole the week’s show, highlighting his consistent ability to deliver in pressure moments.

Near Miss for Jake Chrystal

In a tightly-contested race, Jake Chrystal finished a hair’s breadth behind with 158.3 points. His lineup was highlighted by another incredible pick, Austin Ekeler, who added 26.3 points to his tally. However, a lower-than-expected output from Alvin Kamara, whom many had pinned high hopes on this week, might have cost him the lead. Kamara was held to just 10.8 points, despite being one of the most heavily drafted players.

Chalk Hits and Misses

Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas were among the most popular picks this week, appearing in many lineups. Unfortunately, they delivered underwhelming performances. Meanwhile, highly underrated players such as David Moore dazzled with 23.3 points, providing great value for his budget-friendly price. Similarly, the Ravens D/ST's performance was noteworthy, with three contestants benefiting from their 18-point showing against a lackluster Oakland Raiders offense.

A Word on the Standings

This week’s results ripple through the league standings. Mike Mckenna’s win pulls him closer to the top contenders, ending his losing streak and significantly increasing his winnings to $120. Jake’s stellar performance helps him climb steadily, now totaling up to $153 in earnings, solidifying his place among the top earners and further bridging the gap between him and the current leader, Chris Chmielewski.
