FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 9
Points were at a premium during Week 9 of the 2023 Fulltime Fantasy Football regular season. With some high-scoring teams on a BYE, plus 7 of 14 games totaling 37 points or less, we had our lowest-scoring week of the season. Here is a look at the Top 20 Leaderboards across the four Major FFWC XI Tournaments in our FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 9. Fantasy Football World Championship Missing the fantasy firepower of the Lions, Jaguars, and 49ers, plus several dismal QB performances, scoring was down in the race to claim the $150K FFWC XI Grand Prize. After a season-high 90,053.45 points were scored last week, the total fell to 76,963.00 combined points this week. Five new teams joined the FTF World Championship Top 20 Leaderboard following Week 9 action. Including the overall leader, just three positions in the Top 20 went unchanged week-over-week. For the eighth straight week, Just(in) Time (6-3) continues as the FFWC XI overall leader. Partly due to a down week for QB Justin Herbert, plus missing RB Christian McCaffrey due to a BYE, Simeon Yarbrough and Brian Marzorini posted a season-low 119.90 points. That helped draw the top ten teams closer together. Down from 86.50 points last week, the gap is now 58.70 points. With the most points in FFWC SLOW 4, Just(in) Time sits in the #2 playoff spot. Sitting with a 9-0 record, House of Orange owns the #1 playoff spot. Moving up two spots, from fourth to second, Team Honeycutt sits just 13.25 points out of first overall. Steve Honeycutt‘s FFWC Online 8/22 9 PM ET squad posted 154.10 points. C.J. Stroud, a $360 Week 4 FAAB acquisition, led the way with 46.50 points. Steve’s squad leads his league by 152.35 points and sits tied at 8-1 with Team Meyer. Those two squads battle H2H in two weeks. Slipping one spot, Zefurs went from second to third overall. Despite posting a season-low 107.40 points, KJ Duke’s (8-1) won his H2H match with Cobb Nation (7-2). Zefurs now has the Best Record, and the Most Points, in FFWC 9/3 9 PM ET. With five weeks to go, KJ has moved into a $10K Dominator position. New to the top five, Zefurs II (7-2) has moved from 34th back in Week 6, to 15th, then sixth, and now fourth overall. KJ Dukes FFWC Online 9/3 1 PM ET team posted 147.50 points. He now sits just 9.00 points behind his third-place squad. He also closed the gap from 64.15 to 36.55 points in the race for first place overall. Rounding out the top five, Mr Yellow Stickers (7-2) slipped from third to fifth place. Mike Schlissberg’s crew posted 104.9 points and sits 45.85 points out of the top spot. Based on the current standings, Mike leads the Most Points race by 214.35 in his FFWC CIRCA 9/9 3 PM PT league. His lead is over Surf n Turf who, despite a 2-7 record, has 1255.10 points and currently holds the Most Points #2 playoff position. Our FFWC XI “Shout Out of the Week” goes to Nugget 10 (4-5) who posted a FFWC Week 9 high 195.20 points. Justin Herron’s FFWC Online 9/2 1 PM ET squad moved from 306th to 150th overall and into a playoff position. Nugget 10 moved into the Most Points #1 playoff position in his league. The Most Points #2 playoff position belongs to Team Meyer (3-6) who is just 24.70 points back. Justin defeated William 195.20 to 160.05 in their H2H matchup last week. After 14 teams posted at least 200 points last week, no one reached that plateau during Week 9 action. Down slightly from 22.48 last week, if the playoffs started this week, just 18.40 points would separate the Top 100 FFWC XI teams. The undefeated number dropped, from seven teams at 8-0 last week, to five heading into Week 10. Miss New Booty VII (6th OA), Angels Envy (15th), House of Orange I (28th), Team Stanton (51st), and Team Salamone (82nd) are still perfect with a 9-0 record Circa Las Vegas Fantasy Championship Our inaugural FullTime Fantasy Circa LVFC Tournament went from season-high scoring last week to the lowest-scoring week of the year. After 158,114.20 combined points were scored in Week 8, the total slipped to 134,042.00 during Week 9 action. Four new teams entered the Top 20 Leaderboard and the Top 5 overall shifted slightly. Similar to the FFWC XI Tournament, many of the Circa LVFC leaders stumbled last week as well. Team Leave It In posted 122.95 points and retained first overall for a third straight week. Mike Moore and Mike Scherneck’s Circa LVFC 9/6 10 PM ET team pushed their record to 7-2. They currently sit in the Most Points #1 playoff position in their league, and trail Team Two From the Q (8-1) by one game. Moving up three spots, Team Reece (7-2) went from fifth to second overall. Dustin Reece’s Circa LVFC 8/5 11:45 PM ET squad posted 141.25 points. During a low-scoring week, that was the highest total of the current top seven teams. After entering the week 46.60 off the lead, Dustin is now 28.30 points out of first overall. Retaining third place, for a second straight week, Team Mitchell 2 (9-0) stumbled along with the rest of the leaders. Mark Mitchell’s LVFC 7/15/23 squad posted 126.35 points but remains as one of just four undefeated teams. Mark sits 34.35 points out of first place and leads his league by 151.55 points. Team 2 Bros DP (6-3) slipped from second to fourth overall. Robbie Dinges and Pat Evevard’s Circa LVFC SLOW 5 squad posted 119.05 points. Team 2 Bros DP are 37.10 points out of first and lead their league by 154.60 points. Robbie and Pat face a BYE quagmire that will test the depth of their squad during Week 10 action. Appearing in the Top 5, for the first time this season, Team Two From the Q moved from sixth to fifth place. Bob Campanella’s squad
