Weekly Fantasy Rankings by Class
Juniors
#1- Al Mighty (Texas)- 1.667
#2- David Ginsberg (Syracuse)- 1.354
#3- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- .900
Al continues to dominate, thanks to another POTG award this week, in their only game of the week. Rob had a much better week, but just too much competition in the junior class. He's going to have to continue to improve every week.
Sophomores
#1- Benton Gale (Florida)- 1.372
#2- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 1.300
#3- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- 1.282
#4- Deacon Palmer (Mississippi State)- 1.274
#5- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- .971
#6- Jaybard Riley (Louisville)- .815
Wow! What a race this was. Poor Jace continues to be the only member of the sophomore class not to win a weekly fantasy contest, but he might have had his best week ever. He's going to have to continue it. If not for the POTG award Benton got against Drexel, this week probably does go to Jace. Really fun week.
Freshmen
#1- Sophus Abel (Texas)- 1.586
#2- Barrett Hays (Florida)- 1.333
#3- Will Brown (Duke)- 1.200
Another really good race, as Sophus took advantage of a great game in his only game of the week and was just 1 rebound shy of a double-double. An outstanding performance by all our freshmen this week.
Weekly Fantasy Rankings Overall
#1- Al Mighty (Texas)- 1.667
#2- Sophus Abel (Texas)- 1.586
#3- Benton Gale (Florida)- 1.372
#4- David Ginsberg (Syracuse)- 1.354
#5- Barrett Hays (Florida)- 1.333
#6- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 1.300
#7- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- 1.282
#8- Deacon Palmer (Mississippi State)- 1.274
#9- Will Brown (Duke)- 1.200
#10- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- .971
#11- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- .900
#12- Jaybard Riley (Louisville)- .815
So Al narrowly defeats his teammate Sophus, but wow, what a week! 9 of our 12 players that played this week were over 1.000. It would be great to have this kind of competition every single week. Just phenomenal. I really hope this becomes a weekly thing and that we don't revert back to some bad basketball for some of our FOFC players next week.
