Weekly Fantasy Rankings
So, before I get into the fantasy rankings, I decided that just a point value for rankings wasn't a fair way to decide the weekly, monthly rankings, etc. The reason is, Rob had 24 fantasy points for the week, but he also played in 2 games. In most cases, if a player plays in an extra game that week, you would think his stats would be better. So.. at the risk of running some people off early, I've decided that the fantasy points for the games, for purpose of rankings, will have a formula: # of fantasy points/minutes played. This should be much more fair, at least I hope. If anybody has any questions or comments or concerns about that, please let me know. This also explains why you see such weird numbers at the end for each game, because I'm using the formula to make it easier to calculate things.
#1- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- 1.263
#2- David Ginsberg (Syracuse)- .843
Now a look at the top 25 going into next week:
