Weekly Fantasy Rankings by Class
Juniors
#1- Al Mighty (Texas)- 1.633
#2- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- .520
An easy win for Al this week, who could have basically not played in 1 game and still won the award. Rob fell back into mediocrity this week.
Sophomores
#1- Tim Sheppard (Michigan State)- 1.389
#2- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 1.336
#3- Jaybard Riley (Louisville)- 1.181
#4- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- 1.177
#5- Deacon Palmer (Mississippi State)- 1.095
#6- Benton Gale (Florida)- 1.023
#7- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- .567
A really good week for the sophomore class, as all but one was over 1.000. Jace again falls short, but continues to have good weeks. Tim won this one by winning the way he's always won: taking advantage of limited minutes.
Freshmen
#1- Will Brown (Duke)- .955
#2- Sophus Abel (Texas)- .717
#3- Barrett Hays (Florida)- .658
As good as the sophomore class was this week, the freshman class was not so good. Will came close to a 1.000, but not close enough. Still, his performance was enough to win the weekly award for the freshman class.

#11- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- .567
#12- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- .520
Another overall weekly fantasy win for Al Mighty, who got another POTG. He's really racking them up in his junior season. Not a good sign when your freshman weekly winner is only 8th overall.
