Cousins and Devoe: A Winning Duo!

Week 2: Fancy Football II

The King of the Week: Evan Devoe

Congratulations are in order for Evan Devoe, the newly crowned king of the Fancy Football universe this week! Devoe secured the top spot with a masterful drafting strategy, amassing a total score of 189.9 points. The key to Devoe's victory was the stellar performance of Kirk Cousins, who racked up a remarkable 37.5 points, leading the charge against the Green Bay Packers in a thrilling tie. Melvin Gordon III and JuJu Smith-Schuster also contributed significantly with standout performances. Meanwhile, Devoe's bold move of drafting Cameron Meredith, who scored a disappointing zero, was easily overshadowed by the overall strength of his lineup.

Close Contenders

Hot on Devoe's heels was Nick Inzerillo with a commendable 165.2 points, thanks largely to the explosive performance of DeSean Jackson, who delivered 25.9 points. Despite being let down by Jordan Howard, Inzerillo's picks, including standout appearances from Michael Thomas and Evan Engram, kept the competition fierce. Connor Buxton rounded out the top three with 147.4 points, shining brightly with O.J. Howard as a significant sleeper pick.

Surprising Heroes and Disappointing Duds

This week saw remarkable highs from sleeper picks like Sammy Watkins and Kenny Golladay, the latter scoring 20.9 points for Michael Petty, who ultimately finished in tenth place. On the flip side, some high-profile players underperformed. Odell Beckham Jr., drafted by two participants, and Julio Jones left much to be desired, impacting scores across the board. Notably, Josh Gordon and Cameron Meredith posted goose eggs, leaving drafters wishing they had placed their bets elsewhere.

League Standings Shift

Evan Devoe's victory this week propelled him to fourth in the overall league standings, a significant leap from his previous eleventh place position. Meanwhile, last week's frontrunner, Jake Chrystal, fell to third place after a challenging week. Connor Buxton climbed to the top of the standings, showcasing consistency with back-to-back top finishes. As we move into Week 3, the competition remains fierce, and the crown is still very much up for grabs!
