Reigning Weller: Ben Rises Above

Week 6 of Fancy Football IV

Ben Weller Earns the Crown

This week, the Wellers dominated the Fancy Football league, but it was Ben Weller who claimed the crown with an impressive score of 166.3, marking his second consecutive win. His strategic choices, including Derrick Henry who delivered a whopping 43.4 points, and rookie sensation Chase Claypool with 18.1 points, propelled him to the top. Despite a modest performance from Jonnu Smith, Ben's balanced lineup held strong, showcasing his growing prowess in the league.

Notable Performances and Surprises

While Ben celebrated his victory, Chris Chmielewski came remarkably close, finishing second with 161.9 points. His decision to draft Kyler Murray proved beneficial, given Murray's commendable 28.9 points contribution. Jake Chrystal, finishing third, was another story of inches, making astute picks like Ronald Jones II (29.1 points), but ultimately falling short of the crown.

Throughout the league, some high-risk picks didn’t pay off. Vikings D/ST, which had a surprisingly high draft percentage of 15%, offered no points, while Packers D/ST, drafted by Michael Petty, ended up in the negatives with -1.0 points, proving costly for those participants.

Standout Players Who Delivered

The week’s standout player, undoubtedly, was Derrick Henry, heavily drafted and outperforming with his incredible 43.4 points, leaving a significant impact on the fantasy standings. Meanwhile, Justin Jefferson showed why he’s a rising star with an explosive 42.6-point performance, a silver lining for those managing to include him in their lineups.

Meanwhile, some of the less drafted players surprised the field: Ronald Jones II continued his stellar run, and Christian Kirk found his stride with a commanding score of 22.6 points, even amidst the evolving nature of the Arizona Cardinals' passing attack.

As Week 6 concludes, the league landscape shifts slightly, hinting at potential rivalries and an engaging second half of the season. Who will rise, and who will fade? Stay tuned to Fancy Football for all the latest twists and turns.
