Rodgers Reigns Supreme: Week 11 Recap

Fancy Football V | Week 11

King's Crown: Nick Rohrbeck

Nick Rohrbeck emerged victorious in Week 11, claiming the crown with a stellar performance that hinged on the strategic selection of Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers delivered a commanding 36.5 points, propelling Nick to an impressive total score of 150.0. Complementing his lineup, Joe Mixon and Jaylen Waddle also turned in strong performances, contributing significantly to his success. Despite a low output from DK Metcalf, Nick maintained his edge, moving up to second in the league standings with this week's triumph.

Chasing the Crown

Nipping at Nick’s heels, Ben Maier secured second place with 146.5 points, partially credited to an astute pick of Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who outperformed expectations with 25.3 points at a salary of just 3700. Ben's lineup showed great depth, with consistent contributions from Davante Adams and Jaylen Waddle, though the WAS Football Team D/ST delivered a less-than-ideal one-point performance.

A strong showing from Alycia Holmes, who finished third, was powered by a historical performance from Jonathan Taylor. Taylor's explosive 56.4-point display was a showstopper. Yet, the hefty 7200 investment in Dak Prescott proved costly, as Prescott managed only 5.6 points in a disappointing outing.

Highs and Lows

This week saw significant variance with picks like the Chargers and Bills defense units yielding negative scores, much to the dismay of their drafters. CeeDee Lamb also underperformed, leaving many contestants, such as Eric Wilde and Lars Rikardsen, scrambling for points. On the flip side, Zach Ertz turned out to be a hidden gem, stunningly putting up 28.8 points for drafters such as Brian Salisbury, contributing to his climb in the standings.

A notable mention goes to the Lions D/ST which, despite a low salary of 2100, scored 11 points, offering a remarkable return on investment. Perhaps the most daring play was Adam Trautman, who provided CJ O'Neil with a much-needed boost of 16.8 points, aiding his ascent to third place in the overall standings.

Standings Shift

Nick Rohrbeck's victory this week marked a pivotal movement within the league standings, placing him securely in second, breathing down the neck of current leader Lars Rikardsen. With the season winding down, every point is proving critical as the top contenders shuffle for their final positions. Meanwhile, streaks were snapped across the board, with Connor Buxton, the previous leader, slipping to ninth—proving the volatile nature of the Fancy Football V league.
