Weekly Fantasy Rankings by Class

Seniors

#1- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- 1.205
#2- David Ginsberg (Syracuse)- 1.117
#3- Al Mighty (Texas)- .923

Rob continues his impressive senior campaign as his solid effort at Washington put him at the top of the senior class this week.

Juniors

#1- Benton Gale (Florida)- 1.957
#2- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- 1.875
#3- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- 1.571
#4- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 1.435
#5- Deacon Palmer (Mississippi State)- 1.424
#6- Jaybard Riley (Louisville)- 1.375
#7- Tim Sheppard (Michigan State)- 1.000

Another great week from our junior class. Benton was awesome in his game this week, but let's not forget Jace and his 2 double-double this week.

Sophomores

#1- Sophus Abel (Texas)- 1.195
#2- Will Brown (Duke)- 1.071
#3- Matthew Ginsberg (Georgetown)- 1.015

The sophomore class was strong this week too, but Sophus got the narrow win with 2 strong efforts.

Freshmen

#1- Benito Sanchez (Utah State)- .333

It's probably not going to matter how bad Benito plays the rest of the season. With Jerry academically ineligible for the rest of the season and Cori scraping gum of the bottom of the seats at the end of the bench, Benito looks to win for the freshman class by default every week.
