FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 8
We’ve reached the midpoint of the 2022 football season. Things in the world of high-stakes leagues are just starting to heat up. Our FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 8 dives deep into all the FFWC high-stakes action. Let’s see how things are shaking out after five weeks of action. FFWC World Championship The second half, of the FFWC X World Championship regular season, opened with a bang. 56 players posted at least 180 points. The list includes 17 players who racked up over 200 points. While our overall leader retained the top perch, eight new players entered the Top 20 WC Leaderboard. Cocktails & Dreams III (7-1 FFWC #3) retained first place for a second straight week. Chad Schroeder racked up 194.25 points. That pushed his overall lead, from 20.05 in Week 7, to 34.30 points following Week 8 action. Making a massive leap, from 42nd to second place overall, Bluffing Rivers-2 (7-1 FFWC #2) enters the WC Top 20 for the first time this season. Led by Alvin Kamara (42.8), A.J. Brown (39.6), and DeAndre Hopkins (33.9), Billy Muzio piled up 264.65 points. That’s the highest single-week total, across the FFWC X Big 4, this season. Moving up five spots, from eighth in third place, Ruthless 1 (6-2 FFWC #1) rebounded from a rough Week 7 outing. After posting 124.50 points last week – Evangelos Lilas racked up 190.15 points this week. Slipping two spots, Miss New Booty (7-1 FFWC #8) dropped from second into fourth place. It wasn’t all bad news for Oliver Dawoud, as 147.55 points was good enough to win his Week 8 matchup. Plus, he leads his league by 96.55 points. Rounding out the Top 5, Fairways & Greens WC IV (8-0 FFWC #13) posted the third highest Week 8 total. Behind Bluffing Rivers-2 (264.65), and Staff Meeting (263.30 in FFWC #17), Curtis Hirsch moved from 39th to fifth overall after posting 225.20 points. Our FFWC X WC Shout Out of the Week goes to Curtis Hirsch who added two teams to the Top 20 Leaderboard and now has three squads on the list. Through eight weeks, just two teams, Fairways & Greens WC IV (FFWC #15) and The Godfather (FFWC SLOW #2), remain undefeated with an 8-0 record. A testament to how competitive the FFWC action has been so far this season – there are just 18 teams with a 7-1 record. PlayerProfiler Championship Highly competitive, with just 8.95 points separating the top five teams, the overall standings in the Player Profiler Championship race changed dramatically again this week. For the first time since Week 4, we have a new overall leader. Plus, five new teams joined the Top 20 Leaderboard. Steadily climbing, since entering the Top 20 in 18th place back in Week 4, Analytics Are For The Deep End (6-2-0) completed his journey to the top. From the first LIVE PPC Online Draft, of the FFWC X season, Louis Gott (PPC 6/11) posted 162.60 points and jumped from fourth into first overall. After leaping from 32nd to eighth place last week, Steel City (6-2) moved up another six spots into second overall. Brent Hoppe’s PPC 8/7 11:45 PM ET squad posted 174.15 points and is now just 3.35 points out of first. Another big mover last week, from 48th to second place, Hash Slinging Slashers (6-2), slipped from second into third overall. Scott Nemmers’ Grind Time PPC #2 squad posted 151.10 points, and is just 3.65 points out of the top spot. Moving up three spots, Mr. Yellow Stickers 3 (7-1) jumped from seventh to fourth overall. Michael Schlissberg’s PPC 8/7 10 PM ET squad posted 169.10 points and went from being 21.45 back to just 5.00 points out of first place. Rounding out the Top 5, 4 after posting 143.70 points, TD’s N Beer (7-1) fell out of first place for the first time since Week 4. It wasn’t all bad news for Kelly Wells’ crew as he won his Week 8 matchup. Plus, he is just 8.95 points out of first place, and his lead in the PPC SLOW 7 league sits at 90.00 points. Our PPC Shout Out of the Week goes to Roc Frost who joins Michael Foresta with two teams on the Top 20 list. Roc’s SEPT FOX team (PPC 9/1 7 PM ET) posted a PPC Top 20 high 208.20 points and jumped from 36th into seventh place. That squad joins FOX DOMINATOR (Dominator Show 8/18) which moved from 15th into 12th overall. Through eight weeks, there are just four teams with a perfect 8-0-0 record. There are another 35 teams that head into Week 9 with a 7-1-0 record. FFWC X Dynasty Football World Championship For the fifth week in a row, 20 different Dynasty Football World Championship 2022 leagues are represented on the Top 20 Leaderboard. Four new teams joined the Top 20 list, and 10 of the Top 20 teams posted 191.50 or more points. Continuing his DFWC 2022 dominance, Classic Wizard (7-1) retained first overall for the eighth straight week. Ben Foster’s DFWC 21 squad posted 192.10 points. And his overall lead went from 64.25 to 84.95 points. Following a rough Week 7 run, team Trailers (7-1) enjoyed a solid rebound and moved from fifth into second place. Kris Wocks’ crew racked up 210.40 points and his lead in DFWC 1 is now 157.95 points. Slipping one spot, Ben Foster’s team Hooyah posted 154.85 points and dropped from second into third place. The good news is Team Hooyah moved to 7-1 and leads DFWC 73 by 218.70 points. Also slipping one spot, team TURD V (7-1) fell from third into fourth place overall. Jon Mares’ DFWC 69 squad posted 165.00 points but has built a 216.50-point lead in DFWC 67. Rounding out the top five, Sweep The Leg 54 (7-1) jumped for 20th into fifth overall. Rob Fantauzzo’s DFWC 54 squad piled up 256.20 points, which was the highest DFWC total during Week 8 action. Our DFWC Shout Out of the Week
FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 7
If you think the 2022 season has been exciting, the drama has been even greater in the world of high-stakes football. Our FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 7 dives deep into all the FFWC high-stakes action. Let’s see how things are shaking out after five weeks of action. FFWC World Championship We have reached the halfway point, of the regular season, in the FullTime Fantasy Fantasy Football World Championship Tournament. Week 7 results led to a slew of changes, as seven new players joined the list. Plus, we have a new overall leader. Cocktails & Dreams III (FFWC #3) returns to the top spot for the first time since Week 3. Just 5.50 points out of first place heading into Week 7, Chad Schroeder (6-1) posted 149.55 points. That was good enough to take a 20.05-point lead. After owning the top spot for two straight weeks, team Miss New Booty went from first into second place overall. The good news for Oliver Dawoud is that he won his Week 7 matchup. That makes him 6-1, and he has a 77.75-point lead in FFWC #8. Continuing their climb up the leaderboard, Amy and Mark Palmer piled up 177.05 points. They also jumped from ninth to third place overall. Their FFWC #1 ZCRiley FFWC Kickoff squad (6-1) has moved from 153rd to 12th, to ninth, and now into third, over the past four weeks. Moving up four spots, from eighth to fourth overall, Team Extreme has also been a steady climber as he was in 17th overall back in Week 4. Chris Lejawa’s FFWC #29 team racked up 162.55 points in Week 7. Making the biggest Week 7 leap, team RunHotSports moved from 33rd to fifth overall. Led by Joe Burrow (44.05), Austin Ekeler (36.70), and Josh Jacobs (36.50), Oren Katz’s FFWC SLOW #4 team (4-3) posted 211.35 points. That was the highest Week 7 total. Our Shout Out of the Week goes to Evangelos Lilas, as he now has FOUR teams on the WC Top 20 Leaderboard. Although Ruthless 9 dropped off the list, Ruthless 7 and 8 joined his Ruthless 1 and 4 squads. It’s also worth noting that our 2021 FFWC Overall Champ, Abe Prowse, has moved into the Top 20. His Mesalex FFWC VEGAS #2 squad posted 168.75 points and jumped from 23rd to 11th overall. PlayerProfiler Championship Hitting the halfway point, of the 2022 PlayerProfiler Championship regular season, the Week 7 leaderboard looks very different than it did following Week 6 action. While our overall leader retained the top billing again, nine new players joined the Top 20 list. It was another “bad news – good news” week for team TD’s N Beer 3. While Kelly Wells’ squad (6-1) lost its first matchup of the season, he was able to retain first place overall in the PPC Tournament. Kelly also has a 98.70-point lead in the PPC SLOW 7 league. Racking up the highest Week 7 total, across the Big 4 FFWC formats, team Hash Slinging Slashers (6-1) made a huge jump from 48th to second overall. Led by his Cincinnati three-stack, Joe Burrow (40.05) Ja’Marr Chase (33.00) Tyler Boyd (29.50), and Scott Nemmers’ Grind Time #3 PPC squad posted 226.15 points. Slipping one spot, from second to third, TheGreatGatsby PPC 13 (6-1) posted 151.15 points. Although Ray Cowart’s squad lost its first H2H matchup of the season – he still owns a 114.30-point lead in the PPC 8/5 11:30 PM ET league. After entering the Top 20, in 18th place overall back in Week 4, team Analytics Are For The Deep End (6-1) continued their steady climb. Louis Gott’s PPC 6/11 10:00 PM ET squad posted 166.00 points and jumped from eighth into fourth place. Rounding out the Top 5, The Deal No Deal Team 7 (5-2) squad posted 156.00 points and moved from seventh to fifth overall. Michael Foresta hits the halfway point as the only Owner with two Top 20 PPC teams. Our PPC Shout Out of the Week goes to a long-time Friend of the FFWC Donny Terminiello. DT guided team Lucy (PPC 8/9 11:45 PM ET) to 216.75-points, which was the second-highest PPC Week 7 total. That impressive production moved his squad from 96th to 12th overall. FFWC X Dynasty Football World Championship For the fourth week in a row, 20 different FFWC Dynasty Football World Championship 2022 Leagues are represented on the Top 20 Leaderboard. Just two new teams joined the Top 20 list, which is the lowest number so far this season. Continuing his DFWC 2022 dominance, Classic Wizard (6-1) retained first overall for the seventh straight week. Despite being without several studs, due to players like Justin Jefferson and Josh Allen being on their BYE week, Ben Foster’s DFWC 21 squad posted 163.55 points. Still chasing himself, Ben’s team Hooyah (6-1) posted 143.57 points and retained second place for the second straight week. It wasn’t all good news though, as his DFWC 73 squad lost its first matchup of the season, and slipped from 44.45 to 64.20 points off the pace. Moving up three spots, from sixth to third overall, team TURD V (6-1) posted 177.65 points. Jon Mares’ DFWC 69 squad has now racked up at least 174.95 points during six of the first seven weeks. After sitting 46.85 points out of second place last week, TURD V is now just 12.95 behind team Hooyah. Pumpjack (6-1) retained fourth overall after posting 163.75 points in Week 7. Jason Yeager’s crew increased his impressive lead to 236.95 points over John Rozek (The Champs) in DFWC 5. Rounding out the Top 5, team Trailers slipped from third to fifth overall. Kris Wocks’ Week 7 starters posted a season-low 123.50 points. It wasn’t all bad news though, as Trailers moved to 7-0 and his lead went from 142.00 to 159.40 points in DFWC 1. Our Shout Out of the Week goes to team Jap League (DFWC 38) as Derrick Woolsey posted a DFWC Week 7 high 225.55 points. Led by
FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 6
If you think the 2022 season has been exciting, the drama has been even greater in the world of high-stakes football. Our FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 6 dives deep into all the FFWC high-stakes action. Let’s see how things are shaking out after five weeks of action. FFWC World Championship Week 6 of the FullTime Fantasy FFWC X World Championship Tournament resulted in another “shuffling of the deck” as six new players entered the Top 20. While the overall leader retained his top perch – it has been whittled down to a narrow one. First appearing last week, the lone 3-TIMER on the overall WC Leaderboard continues to roll. During a down week of scoring across all FTF FFWC X formats, largely due to injuries and BYES, Team Miss New Booty (5-1), posted 132.75 points. That’s the bad news for Oliver. The good news is he maintained his overall lead – though it did shrink from 30.20 to just 5.50 points. Miss Mew Booty has a 99.35-point lead in FFWC ONLINE #8 over FatStacks Frankie Taddeo. Cocktails & Dreams III posted 168.65 points in Week 6 and moved up one spot into second place. Chad has guided his FFWC ONLINE #3 squad to a Top 3 spot (minimum) on the overall leaderboard during all six weeks. Hooked into another tough league, Frankie is in second place in that league as well and is 128.35 points of the pace. Posting the second-highest Week 6 Top 20 total points (169.05), Ruthless 1 jumped from seventh into third place. Evangelos Lilas has guided his FFWC ONLINE #1 team from 17th, to 7th, and now 3rd, during the past three weeks. The race is close, in our first LIVE 2022 FFWC X WC Draft, as team ZCRiley FFWC Kickoff (Amy and Mark Palmer 9th OA) is just 31.20 points out of first. Moving from sixth to fourth overall, Balfaco posted 155.35 points and is just 4.80 out of third, plus 34.70 out of first. Neil Jariwala has a 67.25 lead over Cocktails & Dreams XVI in FFWC ONLINE #18, but that race in longer on the Top 20 Leaderboard. Maintaining his position, The Godfather STK posted 141.95 points and rounds out the top five. Despite a 4-2 record, Jason Aberli has an even 1000 points in FFWC ONLINE #25 and leads Team Extreme (Chris Lejawa) by 13.90 points. Shout Out of the Week goes to Evangelos Lilas who is the only player with multiple teams in WC Top 20. His Ruthless 4 squad (6th OA) posted the most Top 20 points this week (170.45), while his Ruthless 4 crew was second with 169.05 points. Rounding out his Triple-Threat, Ruthless 9 maintained 13th place in the overall standings. Honorable shout out to David Kneel who racked the highest Week 6 total with 191.65 points. That moved his FFWC ONLINE #29 squad from 216th to 68th overall. David is 1.40 points behind Team Gibson in that very close league race. Navigating injuries, plus BYE weeks, is challenging for everyone. Regarding injuries, some have been way more fortunate than others. That said, every team is looking to add new weapons. Bid wisely during the first Week 7 FAAB waiver period that runs at 11:00 PM ET on Wednesday, 10/19/22. PlayerProfiler Championship Similar to the FullTime Fantasy World Championship race, it was a low-scoring week in the PlayerProfiler Championship Tournament. After posting 3574.50 points in Week 5, players on the Top 20 Leaderboard scored a combined 2887.15 points (-687.35) during Week 6 action. Four new players entered the Top 20 Leaderboard which is the lowest number so far this season. Week 6 was a “bad news – good news” scenario for the overall PPC leader. The bad news, for Team TD’s N Beer 3, was that he had a down week with just 107.50 points. The good news is Kelly Wells moved to 6-0 in PPC SLOW 7, and retained first place overall for a third straight week. Jumping from fifth, into second place, TheGreatGatsby PPC 13 (6-0) posted 157.40 points and is now just 19.45 out of first place. Methodically moving his way up the leaderboard, Ray Cowart has guided his PPC 8/5 squad from tenth, to eighth, to fifth, and now second, during the past four weeks. Slipping one spot, from second to third, PEACHO8 (5-1) endured his first loss of the season. Michael Pietras posted 115.85 points, but still has a 33.55-point lead over Muzio RvB in the Red vs Blue #1 battle. Team ZCR PPC13 (5-1) racked up 153.45 points and climbed from eighth into fourth place. Posting 164.25 points in Week 6, Mark Palmer also guided his ZCR PPC13 (6-0) squad from 22nd to ninth place overall. Racking up the second-highest Top 20 Week 6 total, The Deal No Deal 4 (6-0) scored 166.85 points. Rounding out the Top 5, Michael Foresta’s PPC SLOW 9 squad made a big leap from 17th to fifth overall. Michael and Mark are the only PPC players with two Top 20 teams. Shout out of the week goes to Team Anderson (PPC 9/7) who piled up 186.65 points and made a huge jump from 51st to 14th overall. Michael Anderson has guided that team from 120th to 51st, to 14th, during the past three weeks. That’s a great example of “it ain’t over till it’s over”. FFWC X Dynasty Football World Championship For the third week in a row, 20 different DFWC 2022 Leagues are represented on the Top 20 Leaderboard. That includes four new teams on the Top 20 list. Somewhat affected by injuries, plus the Week 6 BYES, the top eight teams shuffled positions some but they all stayed within the top eight. That includes our overall leader, Classic Wizard (5-1), who posted 171.05 points in Week 6. No Jinx but, Ben Foster’s DFWC 21 team has owned the DFWC top perch since he posted 225.55 points way back in Week 1. Moving up two spots, from fourth to second, Ben is also the
FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 5
If you think the 2022 season has been exciting, the drama has been even greater in the world of high-stakes football. Our FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 5 dives deep into all the FFWC high-stakes action. Let’s see how things are shaking out after five weeks of action. FFWC World Championship Week 5 of the FFWC X World Championship Tournament resulted in yet another massive overhaul to the overall standings. While not quite as busy as last week, when 12 new players joined the Top 20, the Week 5 leaderboard is populated by nine new players. Plus, we have a new overall leader for a third straight week. Congratulations to Team Miss New Booty (5-0), as Oliver Dawoud racked up a massive 230.15 points and jumped from fourth into first place overall. His total points are even more impressive when you take a look at the FFWC ONLINE #8 player list. It’s stacked with heavy hitters, from top to bottom, including Kimra Schleicher, Chad Schroeder, and John Rozek, who are all FFWC Overall Champions. Moving up seven spots, Team Detroit Broncos (3-2) posted 213.10 points and jumped from ninth into second place overall. That’s a reversal of fortune for Mark Roberts as his FFWC ONLINE #12 Crew dropped from second to ninth place following Week 4 action. Slipping one position, Team Cocktails & Dreams III (4-1) posted 171.05 points and moved from second to third place overall. While no lead is safe, Chad Schroeder has a 73.95 lead in FFWC ONLINE #3 over FatStacks (4-1) Frankie Taddeo. Another big mover, Team Ry’s Guys VI (5-0) jumped from eleventh into fourth place overall. As the lone remaining undefeated team in FFWC ONLINE #3, Patrick Sorge piled up 197.20 total points. After falling from tenth to 21st overall, during Week 4, Team The Godfather STK (4-1) rebounded with a big leap and round out the current Top 5 positions. FFWC Vets, Jason Aberli and Matt Korn, went from scoring 146.7 points last week, to posting 206.05 points in FFWC ONLINE #25 during Week 5. Reinforcing Yogi’s sentiments, it ain’t over till it’s over, six players moved into the Top 20 standings after sitting in 40th place or lower after Week 4 action. Of those, we give a special shout-out to Team “ZCRiley FFWC Kickoff” in FFWC ONLINE #1. Amy and Mark Palmer posted 225.30 points and made a massive leap, from 153rd to 12th, in the overall standings. Chad was the only FFWC Owner with multiple squads (3) in the Top 20 last week. One of his teams slipped off the board this week. Instead, we have a new 3-TIMER as Evangelos Lilas now has three Top 20 teams. Does anyone else find it rather interesting to see FIVE “Same League” battles on the top 20 leaderboards? PlayerProfiler Championship While not as drastic as Week 4, when eleven new players entered the fray, the PlayerProfiler Championship Top 20 leaderboard has five new players on it this week. A fantastic battle, at the top of the PPC overall standings, continues as TD’s N Beer 3 and PEACHO8 remain in the top two positions respectively. Kelly Wells posted 202.50 points in SLOW 7 while Michael Pietras recorded 174.60 points in PPC Red vs Blue #1. Kelly increased his lead from 11.00 to 38.90 points over Michael. Making a big leap, The Deal No Deal Team 7 jumped from 42nd to third overall. Michael Foresta racked up 213.30 points during Week 5 action. High Plains Drifter, managed Clint “Mr. White” Sloan moved from seventh to fourth overall after posting 171.75 points. Jumping from eighth into fifth place, TheGreatGatsby PPC 13 registered 172.00 points. Ray Cowart continues his steady climb up the PPC Leaderboard as he went from tenth to eighth overall last week. Ray also guided his TheGreatGatsby PPC 16 squad to a massive leap as he posted 222.65 points and moved from 176th to 18th overall. Team Zachb513 said “Hold My Beer Ray” as Zachary Barrett racked up 234.65 points and jumped from 235th to 20th overall. After we had 20 different PPC Owners on the list last week, Ray Cowart and Michael Foresta both have two teams on the Top 20 leaderboard heading into Week 6. FFWC X Dynasty Football World Championship For the second week in a row, 20 different FFWC X Dynasty Football World Championship leagues are represented on the Top 20 Leaderboard. That includes five new teams on the Top 20 list. The battle at the top rages on as Team Classic Wizard and Team Trailers retained the top two overall positions. Both teams had another solid week as Ben Foster racked up 217.95 points while Kris Wocks posted 214.50 points. Team Pump Jack piled up the largest DFWC total during Week 5, as Jason Yeager recorded 229.40 points, and moved from sixth to third overall. Team Hooyah, also owned by Ben Foster, posted 202.00 points but slipped slightly from third to fourth overall. Making a jump from ninth place, Team TURD V rounds out the Top 5 as Jon Mares posted 212.55 points. Team Filly Cheese V (Josh Filipek) racked up an impressive 220.05 and made the biggest leap into the Top 20 as he moved from 46th to 11th place overall. Three DFWC owners have two teams on the Week 5 Top 20 leaderboard: Ben Foster: Classic Wizard (1st) and Hooyah (4th) Ray Flack: St Louis Gunners (8th) and Chicago Cardinals (18th) Rob Fantauzzo: Sweep The Leg 54 (14th) and Sweep The Leg 52 (17th) SuperFlex Bowl Tournament Extremely popular, during its inaugural season, the SuperFlex Bowl Tournament continues to deliver non-stop entertainment. The race for the $5000 first-place prize, plus the SFB Championship Belt, is extremely close. Changes, a 1971 David Bowie classic, is playing in the SFB background as 19 of the top 20 positions are occupied by a different team this week. We also have eight new squads on the top 20 leaderboards. New to the FullTime Fantasy FFWC Family this season, Jack Kohlscheen moved
FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 4
It has been a crazy opening month of fantasy football action. That’s especially true in the high-stakes world. Our FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 4 dives deep into all the FFWC high-stakes action. Let’s see how things are shaking out after the first month of the 2022 football season. FFWC World Championship The FFWC X World Championship Tournament experienced a massive overhaul from Week 3 to Week 4. In fact, only eight managers remain in the top 20 list from last week. I’m no math wizard but that means 12 managers moved out. That also means a dozen new teams moved in. Welcome to the FFWC X WC Top 20! Congratulations to Chad Schroeder who enters Week 5 as the owner of the top TWO overall perches. Scan down a little further, and we also find Cocktails & Dreams XIV occupying the 12th OA perch – just 39.40 points off the lead. Chad is the only person with multiple teams on the Week 4 top 20 list. Yak Farmers, FFWC Vet David Strand, moved into third place and is just 15.00 points back. The Yaks have been grazing at the FFWC, and finding fertile pastures, for a decade now. New to the FFWC this season, Oliver Dawoud owns a healthy stable across FFWC World Championship and Player Profiler Championship leagues, plus FullTime Fantasy highest stakes contests like the Top Gun $10K and Commander $5K Drafts. Oliver is in a battle with “since the beginning” FFWC Vet Frankie Taddeo (FatStacks) in the FFWC ONLINE #8 League. They battled back in Week 3 and Oliver won by 5.25 points. New Miss Booty has an 8.15-point lead over FatStacks in that league. Long time Friends of the FFWC, Evangelos Lilas (Ruthless 1) and Robert Gross (My Boy RJ 1) are the only other two owners that are in a “same-league” battle within the WC Top 20. Their league, FFWC ONLINE #1, was our first LIVE WC Draft of the season. Evangelos has a 1.75-point lead in that race. They go head-to-head in Week 8. PlayerProfiler Championship Similar to the World Championship and SuperFlex Bowl Tournaments, the Top 20 Player Profiler Championship overall standings look very different after Week 4. As indicated by ‘NR’ on the list, we had 11 owners move out. That also means 11 new teams moved in – Welcome to the FFWC X PPC top 20 leaderboard! Making a massive leap, from 14th to 1st overall, Team TD’s N Beer (PPC SLOW 7) is our new leader after Week 4 PPC action. Kelly racked up an impressive 213.30 total points. Our Week 3 leader, Team PEACHO8 (Red vs Blue #1), dropped from first into second place overall. Red vs Blue #1 is also represented by Team Muzio RvB, who enters the PPC top 20 list in third place overall. The RvB #1 battle is a beauty as Michael leads Billy by just 16.60 points. Also new to the PPC Top 20 list this week, Team Scotydog (PPC 9/5 10 PM ET) posted 192.85 points and moved into fourth overall. Jumping from 16th into 5th overall, Team No Sleep Till Vegas (PPC 6/11 10 PM ET), rounds out the Week 4 PPC Top 5. FFWC X Dynasty Football World Championship Week 4 of the FFWC X Dynasty Football World Championship season is now in the books! While not as dramatic as our other three overall leaderboards – there are changes beyond the top three leaders this week. Following Week 4 action, there are six new Owners on the DFWC Top 20 list. With the dust settled, Team Classic Wizard (DFWC 21) retained top spot in the overall standings. Ben increased his lead, from 7.25 points to 50.60 points, over Kris and Team Trailers (DFWC 1) who remain in second place. Also owned by Ben Foster, who is the only DFWC Owner with two teams in the Top 20, Team Hooyah (DFWC 73) retained his third-place overall perch. Team Wonder Twins (DFWC 68) made a jump from ninth to fourth place overall. Team Schoolone (DFWC 60) slipped from fourth to fifth place to round out the top-5. SuperFlex Bowl Tournament The top-20 SuperFlex Bowl Overall Standings changed the most following the Week 4 action. As indicated by NR on the list, we had a whopping 14 owners move out of the top 20. That means 14 new SFB players moved in, Piling up an impressive 213 total points, Team Moose Superknuckle (SFB 14 SLOW) not only enters the top 20 list, but Mark settles in as the new overall leader. He must have loved watching TE T.J. Hockenson rack up 39.90 points. Kohlscheen SFB15 (SFB 17 SLOW) slipped slightly – from first into second overall. After averaging an impressive 202.76 points, during the first three weeks, MaxJack experienced a down week as he posted 137.1 points. Also slipping one notch, Team Steven Gundy (SFB 3 SLOW), owned by FFWC Vet Matthew Lecomte, dropped from second to third place overall. Team Glenneration X (SFB 8 SLOW) made a big move as our 2013 FFWC Champ Glenn Lowy jumped from 10th into 4th place overall. Team Its Likely I Win (SFB 8/22 9 PM ET) dipped from 3rd to 5th, as our 2022 Maui Madness Champ Jeffrey Jurist rounds out the SFB top 5 through four weeks. Ahead of Week 4 action, 47.05 points separated the top 10 on the SFB leaderboard. With the dust settled, there are now just 45.45 points separating the top 20 heading into Week 5 action.

FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 3
I hope everyone is enjoying the 2022 FFWC X Season. Shout out to those on the Fantasy Football World Championship Top 20 list. Special acknowledgment to Chad Schroeder (Cocktails & Dreams), the only owner with multiple teams on the list, with three inside the top 20! Here is my FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 3. Chad’s first-place team has a coaching efficiency of 90.6% through three weeks. FFWC #10 and FFWC #25 both have a big battle ongoing as they are the only World Championship Leagues with two Owners in the Top 20 list. It’s great to see a nice mix of new World Championship Owners and seasoned Vets make the top 20 in week 3. FFWC World Championship Let’s dive deeper into win percentages by draft slots in the FFWC World Championship. Drafting from the 9,11, or 12 spots has been more rewarding in 2022. Below you can find a breakdown of every draft by pick number, record, win percentage, points, and average points scored per week. The top added players in the World Championship by the number of adds were: PlayerProfiler Championship Let’s see what’s shaking in the PlayerProfiler Championship (PPC). Our 2022 Week 3 PPC overall leaderboard is filled with a solid mix of experienced veterans, regulars, and newcomers. In his inaugural FFWC season, Jack Kohlscheen is the only owner with two teams on the list. It’s somewhat shocking that we have three leagues, with two owners from each, on the PPC Top 20 list. Jack is in two of them. Those leagues are Red vs. Blue No. 3, PlayerProfiler Championship 7/24 10:30 PM ET, and PlayerProfiler Championship 8/12 11:45 PM ET. Nice to see the Red vs. Blue, Grind Time, online PPC, and slow draft formats represented. Also lovely to see four months represented: June (3), July (8), August (6), and September (3), in the Top 20. Now we’ll dive deeper into win percentages by draft slots in the PlayerProfiler Championship. Like the World Championship, the 12 spot has been succeeding. But, it is interesting that the middle picks, 5,6, and 7, are more rewarding. It could be that value fell in these drafts, and the middle board swooped up. The top added players in the PlayerProfiler Championship by the number of adds were: SuperFlex Bowl Tournament Last but not least, the inaugural SuperFlex Bowl Tournament! The SuperFlex Bowl Tournament (SFB) was wildly popular with FFWC, dynasty vets, and new players. Thank you all for your Support! Billy Muzio, Jack Kohlscheen, Matthew Lecomte, and Da Godfather of The True North all maxed out (18) the SFB. It seems like poetic justice that they each have two teams on the top 20 Leaderboard. Our 2022 Maui Madness Champion Jeffrey Jurist sits third overall behind Jack and Matthew. It’s no surprise that the No. 1 spot, AKA the Josh Allen teams, lead the pack with a weekly average of 162.77 points. Followed by teams 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, who all got a top-tier QB or positional player. Unlike the PPC and the WC, the 12 spot is the worst draft spot in the SFB through three weeks of football. I will keep a close eye on that detail and see if it holds all year. As a reminder: Mock Draft World Championship entries are for sale until the first kick-off of the Week 18 action.

FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 1
Football is back, and week 1 did not disappoint! With the FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 1, we grind our way through box scores, snap counts, and player utilization to make sense of what we have learned, to better our fantasy teams, and make better decisions on who to add through waivers and grind our way to the top of the leaderboards. Below are the top 10 most added players across the FFWC and each tournament’s leading teams in The World Championship, The PlayerProfiler Championship, and the Superflex Bowl. Fantasy Football World Championship This year’s Fantasy Football World Championship is comprised of 540 teams competing for a grand prize of $150,000. After week 1, Mark Palmer and team ZCRiley lead the leaderboards with 218.9 points, followed by Seth Kahler and Austin Martin at number 2 with 208.45 and Mark Mitchel at number 3 with 194.4. ZCRiley drafted from the No.3 spot on 9/4/2022. He started his draft with Jonathan Taylor, Travis Kelce, and Deebo Samuel, securing a top player at each position. He took an unconventional approach at the FFWC going double elite TE and loading up at RB in the flex position. A few noteworthy items in this build include: He hit on every RB he selected. Darrell Henderson shocked the fantasy world when he carried the rock 13 times for 47 yards, adding another five receptions for 26 yards and dominating snaps 82.1% vs. Cam Akers’ 17.9%. Cordarrelle Patterson finished week one as the RB#5 in PPR scoring dominating snaps at 65.3% vs. Avery Williams at 30.7%. Damien Williams left Week 1 with a rib injury. Jamaal Williams finished as RB16, seeing 33.3% snaps and scoring two touchdowns. It will remain to be seen if he can hold onto the lead in this format with a WR corps including Deebo Samuel, Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, Christian Watson, Jamison Crowder, and Demarcus Robinson Here are the Top 10 waiver wire additions in the Fantasy Football World Championship The PlayerProfiler Championship This year’s PlayerProfiler Championship is comprised of 936 teams competing for a grand prize of $50,000. After Week 1, Hardy Mogel and team CRUSH IT top the leaderboards with 215.85 points. William Lu is second with 199.55 points, and DT ranks third with 198.8. CRUSH IT drafted from the No. 2 spot on 7/31/2022. He started his draft with Justin Jefferson, Michael Pittman, Javonte Williams, and Breece Hall. He then circled back in round 5 with Josh Allen and came back in round 6 with A.J. Dillion. This was another conventional approach to most FFWC drafts, as CRUSH IT snagged four running backs with their first eight picks. Justin Jefferson finished Week 1 as the No. 1 wideout and Michael Pittman finished as No. 5. AJ Dillon ranked as the RB9, seeing 50.8% of snaps to Aaron Jones’ 60.7%. But Dillon made the most of his 10 carries for 45 yards and a score adding another 5 receptions on 6 targets through the air. Javonte Williams finished the week as RB#12, splitting the backfield with 57.6% snap share with teammate Melvin Gordon, who saw 40.9%. The Top 10 waiver wire additions in the PlayerProfiler Championship SuperFlex Bowl The inaugural FFWC SuperFlex Bowl is comprised of 552 teams competing for a grand prize of $5,000. After Week 1, Glen Lowy and team Glenneration X lead with 223.65 points. Yours truly, Billy Muzio is second with 213 points and third with 207.4, respectively. Glenn faded QB in his Superflex draft that took place on 6/4/22 from the 10 spot. He started his draft with Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Travis Kelce, Saquon Barkley, and Breece Hall. YIKES, that’s going to be tough to beat. He took his QBs Trevor Lawrence, Daniel Jones, and Marcus Mariota in rounds 6,8, and 11. It was a great opening slate for Glenn, who had the No. 1 and No, 4 WR in Jefferson and Chase, as well as the No. 1 RB Saquon Barkley. Not to be outdone, Glenn also had the No. 1 TE, Travis Kelce. He also hit on 20th-round Curtis Samuel, who finished Week 1 as the WR13 in PPR leagues with 19.2 fantasy points. Glenn’s final build consisted of 3QBs-6RB-9WR-2TE. That’s it after a wild opening week of FFWC action. ENTER OUR WEEK 2 DRAFT CONTEST! How it Works: Draft your team using our On-Demand Simulator.

2022 Fantasy Football Stacks
2022 Fantasy Football Stacks: Ranking all 32 Teams The draft season is here, so it’s time to look at the top 2022 fantasy football stacks by ranking all 32 teams in 2022. Stacking, or pairing multiple players from one NFL
The draft season is here, so it’s time to look at the top 2022 fantasy football stacks by ranking all 32 teams in 2022. Stacking, or pairing multiple players from one NFL team, has become all the rage in fantasy football. Especially in best-ball leagues.
It’s not a strategy without risk, but loading up on the top offensive teams can lead to high-scoring rosters. But not all teams should necessarily be stacked and many have non-traditional QB/WR1 pairings.
For those looking to stack teams this season, here are the rankings for all NFL teams. I’ve included each quarterback with their top-3 fantasy options per FFWC high-stakes advanced ADP. I also included a contingency, late-round pick from each squad, as some stacks will be extremely hard to accomplish in standard 12-team drafts.
Elite Fantasy Football Stacks
Los Angeles Chargers
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Justin Herbert | 62.2 | Austin Ekeler (RB) | 5.8 | Keenan Allen (WR) | 23.8 | Mike Williams (WR) | 33 | Josh Palmer (WR) | 139.6 |
The Chargers are loaded with phenomenal young talent, so much so that it would be difficult to build a QB-RB-WR stack, but not impossible. Austin Ekeler would have to be nabbed in Round One, while Keenan Allen is usually selected late in the 2nd. If you miss out on Allen, Mike Williams is a good consolation prize. In FFWC high-stakes drafts, Justin Herbert is currently QB2, so be prepared to take him early. WR3 Josh Palmer could be a sleeper to top 60 grabs and Gerald Everett is poised to be a late-round gem.
Cincinnati Bengals
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Joe Burrow | 104.3 | Ja’Marr Chase (WR) | 5.5 | Joe Mixon (RB) | 14 | Tee Higgins (WR) | 23.5 | Tyler Boyd (WR) | 104.9 |
No issues ranking the Bengals ahead of the Chargers. Both rosters are loaded with elite young playmakers. Only a lucky break or two with a late draft slot would allow fantasy managers to start Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Mixon. More likely, a Mixon/Tee Higgins stack would be more feasible. Tyler Boyd might be the top WR3 in the league. Another name to remember is TE Hayden Hurst, who was a top-10 fantasy starter in 2020.
Buffalo Bills
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Josh Allen | 40.2 | Stefon Diggs (WR) | 11.2 | Gabriel Davis (WR) | 53.2 | Devin Singletary (RB) | 84.4 | James Cook (RB) | 96.3 |
A Josh Allen/Stefon Diggs stack is going to win plenty of leagues in 2022. Of course, building it means committing an early draft pick on Allen and potentially bypassing running backs. Interestingly, Buffalo themselves have an excellent dead-zone RB sleeper in Devin Singletary. It won’t be easy to secure both Buffalo backs but an Allen/Diggs/Singletary stack would be money. Gabriel Davis also works as the WR2 if you miss out on Diggs, and slot man Jamison Crowder is a significant upgrade over Cole Beasley. Also, the Bills enter this season as the Super Bowl favorites and have a roster loaded with fantasy football stacking potential. Load up early and often.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Tom Brady | 109.6 | Mike Evans (WR) | 15.3 | Leonard Fournette (RB) | 19.9 | Russell Gage (WR) | 62.5 | Chris Godwin (WR) | 63.7 |
Even with Chris Godwin looking very iffy, the Bucs still offer No. 1 overall upside. Tampa ran the third-most snaps per game in 2021 and should be fine with Byron Leftwich calling plays. Tom Brady to Mike Evans has resulted in 27 combined TDs since 2020. If Godwin misses time, as expected, that duo should once again be among the league leaders. Leonard Fournette was a league-winner last season but was allowed to test free agency and reportedly adhered to the Eddie Lacy offseason conditioning plan. That and the presence of Rachaad White makes Fournette somewhat risky. Tampa signed Russell Gage to a 3-year, $30 million deal for a reason. Gage is going to be heavily involved and makes for a terrific stack with Brady for fantasy managers who miss out on Evans. Keep an eye on the starting tight end battle in camp. Tight Ends Kyle Rudolph, Cameron Brate, and rookie Cade Otton offer a ton of late-round upside.
Los Angeles Rams
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Matthew Stafford | 128.5 | Cooper Kupp (WR) | 3.5 | Cam Akers (RB) | 40.6 | Allen Robinson (WR) | 45.2 | Tyler Higbee (TE) | 177.1 |
The defending champions have the potential to be better in 2022 after signing Allen Robinson. Anyone who paired Matthew Stafford with Cooper Kupp last season knows the benefits of loading up on Sean McVay-led squads. Robinson’s ADP has slowly crept up but he’ll be a popular stack with Stafford. I have expressed my reservations about Cam Akers and remain convinced McVay is going to use more of a committee backfield than he showed in the postseason. Moreover, LA had the league’s top pass-blocking line last season per PFF and is among the early favorites. With the and mostly back together, the Rams remain a good team to invest in.

Red vs. Blue Draft Review
While NFL training camps still haven’t opened, fantasy football draft season is well underway. This Red vs. Blue Draft Review recaps some of the sharpest high-stakes drafters in the world. The annual Red vs. Blue draft dates back to 2009 and was the first draft to be live streamed with pick-by-pick commentary. Red vs. Blue was cutting edge, featuring draft strategy and roster construction advice from some of the best fantasy football players in the world. 13 years after it started, the Red vs. Blue tradition continued into 2022. This season’s draft took place live on Youtube and did not disappoint. Here is my review of the 2022 FFWC Red vs. Blue Live Draft. Click below to watch the action with our own Scott Atkins and Billy Muzio. Red vs. Blue Draft This year, we’ve teamed up with Player Profiler to make the Red vs. Blue draft part of the Player Profiler Championship. The Player Profiler Championship boasts a $50,000 Grand Prize and the BEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT OF ANY NATIONAL CONTEST, ANYWHERE! The PlayerProfiler Championship (Formerly Online Championship) is a fantasy football contest comprised of individual leagues of 12. The best teams from each league will compete in weeks 15-17 to be crowned PlayerProfiler Champion and Grand Prize Winner. It’s a full 12-person league with 20-man rosters and full PPR scoring. The starting lineup consists of 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, and 2 FLEX (non-QB) spots. Waivers run weekly in a blind bid format. Here is how the 2022 Red vs. Blue draft went down, with some of my thoughts and analysis. Roster Construction With the ability to start up to five wide receivers in full PPR scoring, it was no surprise to see wideouts flying off the board. Four were nabbed in the first round alone and 97 (40%) total receivers were drafted. 11 of the 12 managers drafted more wide receivers than any other position, with the one hold out choosing a balanced 6-6-3 build. Two teams selected nine receivers while a pair also drafted 10. Because waivers open up prior to Week 1, some savvy managers chose not to waste a valuable roster spot on a kicker or defense. Others oddly drafted two of each, which seems contradictory in a league with weekly transactions. The wildly different ideas of how to construct a championship squad should certainly lead to a fascinating season. Draft Bargains Chase Edmonds (7.12, RB32) – Looking at the latest update of FullTime Fantasy’s 2022 fantasy football rankings, Edmonds as RB32 is a solid value. As the offseason has worn on, Edmonds’ value is on the rise. Edmonds excelled in zone-blocking concepts and that’s precisely the system Mike McDaniel will bring to Miami. He’s got RB2 upside and is screaming value as a mid-round #zeroRB target. Damien Harris (8.06, RB35) – Harris finished last season as the RB14 mainly due to his nose for the end zone. While he’s extremely limited as a receiver, Harris was a consistent source of fantasy production. He double-digit fantasy points in 10 of his final 11 starts. Bill Belichick trusts Harris in short-yardage so he should be in line to top double-digit TDs once again. He won’t catch many passes but Harris is a solid RB3 or flex option in this format. Marvin Jones (14.04, WR71) – The overall WR33 in a lost 2021, Jones flashed a solid rapport with QB Trevor Lawrence. 24th in the league with 118 targets, Jones is a sneaky bet to lead the Jags in that category once again. While Christian Kirk will certainly be a factor, the Jaguars have nowhere to go but up with Doug Pederson at the helm. I like Jones as a very good late-round sleeper with flex appeal in this type of league. Evan Engram (16.09, TE22) – Speaking of Pederson, a hallmark of his past offenses was a heavy reliance on the tight end. Pederson’s squads regularly led the league in ’12’ formations. They also have produced a top-10 fantasy TE in six of his last seven seasons. There is almost no downside to targeting Engram this late in a draft. Doug Pederson’s TEs in PPR pts/game: 2013- Fasano 6.8 (39th) 2014- Kelce 11.5 (9th) 2015- Kelce 11.8 (9th) 2016- Ertz 13.1 (3rd) 2017- Ertz 14.6 (3rd) 2018- Ertz 17.5 (2nd) 2019- Ertz 14.4 (4th) 2019- Goedert 9.9 (13th) 2020- Goedert 10.6 (10th) Evan Engram current ADP TE24 — #TagsStrong💪#SFB12 (@JodySmithNFL) June 21, 2022 Questionable Selections Jaylen Waddle (3.08. WR16) – Volume was the catalyst that drove Waddle to a surprising WR12 rookie campaign. But the additions of Chase Edmonds, Tyreek Hill, and Cedrick Wilson will make it impossible for Waddle to repeat. Hill and Wison alone racked up 221 targets in 2021 and Edmonds looks like a good bet for 50-plus grabs. I really like Waddle as a player but don’t see any way he can approach WR16 numbers. Especially with an underwhelming and unproven Tua Tagovailoa taking snaps. Russell Wilson (9.03, QB5) – I actually love Wilson and don’t have issues with taking him as a top-5 signal-caller. But one round after taking Kyler Murray as the QB4, this makes no sense. Later, this same team took the first place kicker a full three rounds earlier than any other kicker. Amazingly, this same franchise took that next kicker, Arizona’s, at least six spots too high. Throw in two additional roster spots wasted on defenses and you get a roster with precious little depth after a tremendous start. Dawson Knox (11.09, TE11) – We’re pretty cool on Knox this season, mainly because his touchdown rate isn’t sustainable. The Bills added James Cook, Jamison Crowder, and another TE in O.J. Howard to siphon targets away, too. While snagging Knox as the TE11 in the 11th round is not egregious at all, taking him as your third tight end when you only had two wideouts rostered is. Top Contenders Team 8 – Ja’Marr Chase and Mike Evans every week? Yes, please. Ezekiel Elliott was also the RB7 in 2021 and is being overlooked this summer. This team added a pair of solid
Player Profiler Championship Draft Review June 2022
Recapping an early Player Profiler Championship Draft. The end of June means that the annual football sabbatical for many is nearing an end. As temperatures heat up, so does the interest in fantasy football drafts. But for high-stakes fans, drafts have been underway for some time. Our Player Profiler Championship Draft Review June 2022 recaps some of the early excitement. Partnered without friends at PlayerProfiler, the Player Profiler Championship boasts a $50,000 Grand Prize and the BEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT OF ANY NATIONAL CONTEST, ANYWHERE! The PlayerProfiler Championship (Formerly Online Championship) is a fantasy football contest comprised of individual leagues of 12. The best teams from each league will compete in weeks 15-17 to be crowned PlayerProfiler Champion and Grand Prize Winner. It’s a full 12-person league with 20-man rosters and full PPR scoring. The starting lineup consists of 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, and 2 FLEX (non-QB) spots. Waivers run weekly in a blind bid format. Let’s see how the final Player Profiler Championship Draft from June went down and see who will enter the 2022 fantasy football season as the favorite to win the coveted title with our Player Profiler Championship Draft Review June 2022. Just a glance at the initial draft board shows the different strategies at work. A full third of the league chose a single quarterback, which makes sense in a league with weekly FAAB bidding. One drafter chose to select only one tight end while the number of wideouts rostered varied from seven to a whopping 11. With so many different approaches, I’ll pick out some of the selections that stood out to me while referring to my own 2022 fantasy football projections and the latest FFWC ADP. Draft Bargains David Montgomery (6.04, RB22) – The RB15 in fantasy points per game last season, Montgomery is set to enter unrestricted free agency after the season. That frees up Chicago’s new regime to give Montgomery plenty of touches in what is likely his final season there. Chicago’s offense is still hard to handicap this early, but Montgomery looks like a good bet to exceed 300 touches. That makes Montgomery a very good bargain in the sixth round. Tyler Lockett (7.07, WR40) – Lockett has been a reliable producer who is plummeting down draft boards because of the uncertain status of Seattle’s quarterback group. That concern is warranted, but Lockett has three consecutive 100-plus target seasons and should continue to be peppered with looks in a Seattle offense that should be playing from behind plenty. I’m a fan of the value of Lockett as a tremendous WR4. Clyde Edwards-Helaire (8.02, RB32) – Injuries have played a big part in CEH’s underwhelming first two seasons. He’s fully healthy now and I expect the third-year back to play a big role in the new-look Kansas City offense. In the seven games last season that Edwards-Helaire topped double-digit carries, he averaged 14.2 PPR points per game. That figure would have ranked 21st overall last season. Edwards-Helaire is also a far better pass-catcher than Ronald Jones, so I envision the far-more-versatile CEH easily emerging as the Chiefs’ best back and a solid fantasy value in 2022. Tom Brady (10.7, QB9) – High-stakes players are clearly willing to wait to draft their quarterbacks and that strategy paid off. Lamar Jackson (9.05), Jalen Hurts (9.07), and Kyler Murray (10.3) all started a nice QB run of potential top-5 signal-callers that were taken in the 9th and 10th rounds. Brady just finished as the overall No. 2 fantasy QB and should once again be a reliable and safe option. Questionable Selections Jaylen Waddle (3.04, WR14) – Waddle finished his rookie campaign as the WR12 after soaking up a surprising 142 targets but there’s little chance he will replicate those numbers in Year Two. The Dolphins signed Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert, and Sony Michel to fortify their 30th-ranked ground game. Edmonds just happens to be an excellent receiver, too. Miami also spent big money to acquire Tyreek Hill and Cedrick Wilson, who combined to command 220 targets in 2021. Ranking 44th in yards per route run and 194th in ADOT, Waddle doesn’t offer the big-play or TD upside of several wide receivers drafted after him. That list includes A.J. Brown, Terry McLaurin, and DK Metcalf. Alvin Kamara (3.06, RB13) – Snagging a consistent RB1 like Kamara as RB13 is normally a steal. But it’s been speculated for months that the Saints’ starter is looking at a lengthy suspension. That makes this pick awfully risky. Showing that risk, rumors began circulating right after this selection that Kamara could be forced to sit for up to six weeks. That’s a devastating loss for any fantasy roster, but Team 6 only took one other running back before Round 13. Scary little depth for a position that is hard to fortify on the waiver wire. Hunter Renfrow (5.01, WR25) – High-stakes drafters think differently; particularly in a format that requires a minimum of three and as many as five potential starting wideouts each week. But, looking at high-stakes FFWC ADP, Renfrow is normally available well into the sixth round. That makes him quite a reach in the top of the fifth. With Davante Adams now in Vegas, Renfrow has little shot of repeating his lofty target or touchdown numbers from 2021. I thought all of the other receivers taken in Round 5 should have gone before Renfrow, except Christian Kirk. James Cook (7.04, RB27) – Cook’s current FFWC ADP is 98.3, some 22 spots after he was taken in this draft. As good as Devin Singletary was down the stretch a year ago, taking an undersized change-of-pace back ahead of the presumptive starter seems egregious. This pick could turn out to be a steal if Cook were to unseat the incumbent, I just don’t see that happening. Top Contenders Team 7 – A pair of potential top-10 RBs, four solid PPR receivers, and an elite TE gives Team 7 an outstanding core. Pairing DeVonta Smith with Hurts and landing RBs Rashaad Penny and Gus Edwards was also nice. I think this team was well
