Fancy Football IX - Week 20
Wild(e) Thing: Eric’s Back on the Throne
Week 20 – Fancy Football IX
Crowned: Eric Wilde
Eric Wilde earned the crown with 131.4, riding a slate that did just enough everywhere and hit the one true difference-maker: the Seahawks D/ST’s 21-point outburst. With steady help from Caleb Williams (19.3), Puka Nacua (11.2), and Christian Kirk (10.0), Eric’s balanced, moderately chalky build (38.5) was the week’s cleanest card.
The Chase Pack
Runner-up Ben Maier (114.9) found the smash of the week in Kenneth Walker III (38.5) and nearly ran down the king. The rest of the lineup couldn’t keep pace—Sam Darnold (9.0), Courtland Sutton (9.3), Dalton Schultz (6.7), and the chalky Puka Nacua (11.2) muted the upside.
Bill Weller (105.3) rounded out the podium, getting solid value from Colby Parkinson (8.6) to go with the popular Puka and Christian Kirk.
Chalk Talk: Hits, Misses, and Land Mines
- The most popular play, Puka Nacua (76.9% drafted), was fine but not a slate-breaker at 11.2, capping ceiling outcomes across the league.
- The chalk that went truly cold: Zach Charbonnet (38.5% drafted) at 2.0. He dented the weeks of Casey, Nick, Zachary, Lars, and Dan.
- Contrarian sharps had their shots: Bo Nix (25.1) paid off nicely for Casey and Jordan, while Patriots D/ST (20) delivered for Jordan and Nick, just not enough to climb the mountain.
- Land mines: AJ Barner (0.2) and Jaylin Noel (0.0) sank lineups for Jordan, Michael, and Nick. Bills D/ST (1.0) punished Chris.
Notables and Nuggets
- Low-rostered league-winner: Eric’s Seahawks D/ST (21) was the single biggest leverage piece among top finishers.
- Most explosive score: Kenneth Walker III (38.5) led all players and nearly swung the crown to Ben all by himself.
- Rookie QB watch: Bo Nix (25.1) outpaced Caleb Williams (19.3) this week, but Eric’s steadier combo won out.
Standings Ripples
Eric tightens his grip atop the table with another crown. Ben’s runner-up pushes him into second overall, and Bill climbs into third. Evan stayed hot with another top-half finish, while it was a rare off week for Dan, who never found daylight through the Charbonnet fog.
Congrats to Eric—long live the king!
