Nov. 23-29, 2020
29 games on the schedule this week, with 3 head to head game. Remember, those are bolded now, and just because there are 3 head to head games, there could be more than 6 lines bolded, as we have 3 teams with multiple players. For instance, this week, Texas has 2 head to head games, and also has 2 of our players on their roster, so by my count, this week the weekly recap should have 9 games. Florida also has a head to head game this week and they also have 2 players. So if at the end of the post, I don't have 9 games (lines, whatever you want to call it) bolded, something is wrong. I hope I'm not overexplaining this. To the weekly recap we go:

Weekly Fantasy Rankings by Class
Seniors
#1- David Ginsberg (Syracuse)- 1.567
#2- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- 1.442
#3- Al Mighty (Texas)- 1.141
On the strength of 3 solid games, including a double-double, David wins this week for the senior class. Rob continues to impress in his senior year.
Juniors
#1- Benton Gale (Florida)- 1.257
#2- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- 1.242
#3- Jaybard Riley (Louisville)- 1.218
#4- Deacon Palmer (Mississippi State)- 1.185
#5- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 1.154
#6- Tim Sheppard (Michigan State)- 1.000
#7- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- .857
Really really close race here, but Benton gets the nod thanks to a POTG award that put him over the top.
Sophomores
#1- Will Brown (Duke)- .963
#2- Sophus Abel (Texas)- .844
#3- Matthew Ginsberg (Georgetown)- .788
Not the best of performances from the sophomore class, but Will gets the win. A better effort will be needed going forward though.
Freshmen
#1- Cori O'Neill (Marquette)- 3.000
#2- Benito Sanchez (Utah State)- .976
#3- Jerry Miller (Florida State)- .875
So Cori, who hadn't played for 2 straight games due to coaches decision, gets a chance to shine. Well, 5 minutes worth of time to shine anyways, and makes the most of it, hitting 3 shots, a couple rebounds, a block. He got the Tim Sheppard treatment this week, getting limited minutes but converting. Pretty sure the 3.000 is an all-time high for this.
