Weekly Fantasy Rankings by Class
Seniors
#1- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- 1.922
#2- David Ginsberg (Syracuse)- 1.743
#3- Al Mighty (Texas)- 1.481
Alright Rob! Have a week! All the seniors did, but Rob was just outstanding with a Double-double and POTG in the same game.
Juniors
#1- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 2.000
#2- Benton Gale (Florida)- 1.804
#3- Deacon Palmer (Missisippi State)- 1.132
#4- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- 1.039
#5- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- .756
#6- Tim Sheppard (Michigan State)- .714
Hello Jace! Talk about having a week, Jace did exactly that. 2 double-doubles and a POTG (and it really should have been 2 POTG in my opinion). Benton also had a week, but the junior class was a tad disappointing other than that.
Sophomores
#1- Sophus Abel (Texas)- 1.060
#2- Will Brown (Duke)- .848
#3- Matthew Ginsberg (Georgetown)- .750
Yikes! Not a good week for the sophomore class either. Sophus wins it though.
Freshmen
#1- Benito Sanchez (Utah State)- .614
It's back to default for Benito, who also didn't have a good week. Cori inexplicably didn't play this week after winning for the freshman class last week (even if he did do it Tim Sheppard style), but you'd have thought he could have at least gotten in during the blowout win over Georgetown.

It warms my heart to see Jace and Rob at the top of this list. Guys that have struggled throughout their career, and have both been looking for that signature week. While Rob has really increased his performance this entire senior season, Jace finally got that win he was looking for. Congrats to both on a great week.
