Ed-Von Achane: Ulreich hits the nitro

Week 10 – Fancy Football IX

The crown goes to Ed

Congratulations to Ed Ulreich, who detonated Week 10 with 215.3 and earned the crown. Ed set a new season-high thanks to a blistering core: De'Von Achane (43.5), Drake London (27.4), Jared Goff (27.8), Ladd McConkey (23.7), and a sneaky-tight end hit in Dalton Schultz (18.3). Even his “worst” slot, Travis Etienne Jr. (15.7), held serve. Ed also dodged the week’s biggest landmine by fading mega-chalk Rico Dowdle (45.9% rostered), turning contrarian balance into a runaway.

The chase pack

Second place came down to decimals, with Bob Wand and Dan Cecchin both at 170.4. Bob’s lineup was powered by value-nukes Jalen Nailor (26.4 at 3100) and De'Von Achane, though a quiet day from Justin Jefferson (7.7) capped his rally. Dan matched him behind Drake London, Jaxson Dart, and value WR Parker Washington, but James Cook III (11.7) kept him just shy. Cameron Mahoney (169.1) lurked right behind, riding Kyren Williams, Achane, and a sharp Jauan Jennings dart.

Nick Inzerillo (5th) delivered one of the week’s best pivots with a monster Jonathan Taylor (52.6) plus Jameson Williams (26.9) and Trey McBride (30.7), showing you didn’t need Achane to post a ceiling.

Chalk talk and sharp pivots

• The popular plays mostly hit: Jared Goff (27.8) and Drake London (27.4) were slate staples.
• The mega-chalk that didn’t separate: Rico Dowdle at 15.3 – fine, but not a difference-maker for nearly half the field.
• Low-rostered winners: Dalton Schultz (18.3; 1 drafter), George Kittle (23.4; 1), Jerry Jeudy (19.8; 1), and Jalen Nailor (26.4; 3) all swung lineups for the few who clicked.

Tough breaks

• Several popular values face-planted: A.J. Brown (3.3), Michael Pittman Jr. (3.9), Romeo Doubs (1.5), and Brock Bowers (3.7) derailed otherwise-solid builds.
• The week’s worst landmine was Commanders D/ST (-2.0), which Lars Rikardsen managed to survive for a mid-table finish.
• A zero from Joshua Palmer sunk Evan Devoe’s card.

Standings ripple

Cameron Mahoney stays atop the table (W2), while Michael Petty climbs to second. Ed rockets to 8th with his season-best 215.3 and a W2 of his own. Ben Maier’s long heater finally cools (L1), but he remains firmly in the hunt. With three weeks left before the stretch run, the crown chase is wide open.
