All Hail King Casey Oliver: A Regal Victory in Week 19

Week 19 of Fancy Football VII

Crowning Glory for Casey Oliver

Casey Oliver soared to the top this week, earning the coveted crown with an impressive score of 170.3. His lineup was a testament to strategic drafting, with Mike Evans delivering a standout performance scoring 31.7 points. Evans was heavily featured in multiple lineups this week, but it was Casey's mix that took the crown. Rachaad White and Christian McCaffrey were vital components in Casey's lineup, bringing a substantial boost with their strong showings. While his choice of the Chiefs D/ST resulted in zero points, his other picks more than compensated, securing his place as this week's reigning champion.

Near Miss for Evan Devoe

Evan Devoe gave a valiant effort and ended just behind Casey with a score of 167.3. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Baker Mayfield were instrumental in bringing Evan's team to the brink of victory. With James Cook and Khalil Shakir solidifying their roles, Evan provided stiff competition. Despite the Buccaneers D/ST only adding a single point to his total, his well-rounded team fell just short of the crown.

Noteworthy Performances and Disappointments

Fantasy players had their eyes on Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen this week. Eric Wilde capitalized on Allen's performance, but it wasn't enough to topple Casey or Evan. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce, drafted by Nick Inzerillo, reminded everyone of his ceiling with a solid return of 24.5 points, though his singular drafting showed a lack of faith.

Injury woes plagued some competitors, with Christian Watson and Deebo Samuel underperforming due to mid-game injuries that disrupted strategic hopes and clamped down on potential comebacks. Over-reliance on underperforming Defensive/Special Teams positions was a factor many drafters had to navigate - notably, all of the Chiefs D/ST drafters found zero points from this choice.

Unsung Heroes

Baker Mayfield, while often overlooked, emerged as a surprise star, rewarding those who put their faith in him with a remarkable 28.5 points. Meanwhile, Mike Evans, despite being a higher draft pick, nonetheless proved to be worth the investment, shining in pivotal moments.

As we move forward into the next week, competitors will look to fine-tune their strategies. With only a few weeks left in the season, every point counts more than ever in the exhilarating world of Fancy Football.
