Mitch Viger Strikes Gold with Mike Evans' Spark

Week 7 Recap - Fancy Football V League

Mitch Viger Earns the Crown

Congratulations to Mitch Viger, who earned the crown with a thrilling 162.6 points, thanks largely to Mike Evans' standout performance. Evans proved to be a goldmine, racking up 31.6 points and replicating his shining moments from the Buccaneers' resounding victory over the Bears. Mitch also benefited from the strategic play of D'Ernest Johnson, who showcased his prowess after stepping up in the Browns' backfield.

Key Stories from Around the League

Cooper Kupp continued his ascent as a fantasy juggernaut, registering 40.6 points and rewarding 12.5% of drafters with his stellar showing for the Rams. Alvin Kamara also lived up to his hefty salary, delivering high returns for Alex Richter and Ben Maier with 36.9 points, as the Saints narrowly edged out the Seahawks on the national stage.

On the downside, Patrick Mahomes was a source of disappointment after a rough day on the field, scoring only 9.7 points. His struggles considerably impacted Mike Mckenna and Connor Buxton's performances. Additionally, the highly-drafted Jets D/ST was a low point for five contestants with an unsightly -3.0 points, emphasizing the often-volatile nature of defense selections.

Climbing the Standings

Mitch Viger's first-place finish catapulted him to the 7th spot in the season standings, securing his fourth top finish and breaking a two-week losing streak. Meanwhile, Eric Wilde's consistent performances keep him in close contention, now sitting in 2nd place. On the flip side, Kristyn Morrison's winning streak halted as she slipped into the 4th position, demonstrating just how competitive the league has become.

As we head into Week 8, the competition intensifies, and we look forward to more jaw-dropping plays and unexpected performances that will sway the league's fortunes. Keep those lineups sharp, and good luck to all contestants!
