CJ O'Neil's Higbee Takes the Crown

Week 13 - Fancy Football III

Victory for CJ O'Neil

This week, congratulations are in order for CJ O'Neil, who clawed his way to the top with a standout performance by Tyler Higbee. Garnering a massive 26.7 points, Higbee proved to be an incredible value pick at only $2,500, especially considering he was part of just two lineups. CJ's selection of Courtland Sutton and the ever-reliable Christian McCaffrey further solidified his victory with a total score of 142.4. Despite a poor showing by Tyreek Hill, CJ managed to secure the win and end his two-week losing streak, propelling himself into seventh place in the league standings.

Notable Near-Misses

Trailing behind CJ was Brian Salisbury, whose quick thinking to draft Aaron Rodgers paid off splendidly as Rodgers racked up 28.1 points. However, Brian's selection of Emmanuel Sanders left some points on the table, allowing CJ to widen the gap. Evan Devoe secured third, benefitting from the impressive performance of Jack Doyle. Despite the weight of Jonathan Williams’ underperformance, Evan's strategy shined through and helped him solidify his position as the league leader overall.

The Week's Hits and Misses

The heavily favored Mike Evans and Jonathan Williams failed to deliver, leaving many contestants in the dust. With Evans scoring only 9.3 points and Williams logging a mere 3.5 points, those players were a disappointment to the 42.9% of drafters who chose them.

On the flip side, Alshon Jeffery shone brightly, amassing 31.7 points. Drafted by three users, including Michael Petty and Jake Chrystal, Jeffery was the week's top performer and a crucial asset for anyone lucky enough to have picked him.

Sleeper Sensations

Aside from Higbee, Rashaad Penny emerged as another significant sleeper sensation of the week. Bringing in 26.7 points for Ben Weller, Penny was a stellar acquisition at just $4,500 and showcased why keeping an eye on under-the-radar players can pay huge dividends.

All in all, week 13 was a captivating display of unexpected heroes and surprising disappointments, replete with bold choices and strategic gambles. As we move toward the closing weeks of the season, it’ll be fascinating to see who will have the right mix of savvy choices and luck to climb the ranks.
