A Wilde Ride to the Crown

Week 7 of Fancy Football II

Eric Wilde Takes the Throne

Congratulations to Eric Wilde for claiming the crown in Week 7 of Fancy Football II! Eric emerged as the king with a stellar lineup that included standouts like Trey Burton and Mitchell Trubisky. Burton, a sleeper pick for the week, delivered a stunning 30.6 points, justifying his selection and rewarding Eric's keen eye for talent. Trubisky, meanwhile, contributed a robust 36.4 points, proving to be one of the top value picks of the week. Eric’s strategic decision to include the Chiefs D/ST, who performed well above their salary value with 14 points, also played a crucial role in sealing the victory.

Narrowly Missing Glory

While Eric Wilde basked in the glow of victory, Zachary Wand, the league commissioner, put up a valiant fight and secured the runner-up position. His selection of Patrick Mahomes, who had an impressive outing with 36.8 points, was a pivotal move. However, the disappointing performance of Taylor Gabriel, yielding only 5.6 points, left Zachary just shy of first place. Nevertheless, Zachary remains atop the overall standings, continuing his winning streak into its fifth week.

Hits and Misses: Players Who Shocked and Fizzled

This week saw some intriguing performances from players who were either heavily drafted or emerged as unexpected gems. Kareem Hunt and John Brown both delivered notable performances, accumulating 37.1 points and 29.4 points respectively, showcasing their potential as top tier picks. Hunt's game-changing versatility aided his real-world team, the Kansas City Chiefs, in a decisive victory and translated into fantasy riches.

Conversely, LeSean McCoy and Carlos Hyde were among the week's biggest disappointments. Hyde, not touching the ball at all, left his fantasy drafters in the lurch, while McCoy managed an insignificant 0.1 points due to an early-game injury. Many contestants, hoping for exploitable matchups, were left regretting their investments.

As we move forward into Week 8, Eric Wilde's victory and his strategic selections serve as a reminder of the impact wise drafting choices can have. Will Zachary Wand continue his stronghold at the top, or will another contestant rise to the occasion next week? Stay tuned to Fancy Football to find out!
