Welcome to the Week 11 update of the Faketeams Fantasy Football Eliminator Challenge!

Week 10 saw incredible games and incredible fantasy football performances. Let’s take a look at how our entries did in Week 10:

Tcepnt Russell Wilson, Sea David Johnson, Ari Jay Ajayi, Mia Doug Baldwin, Sea J.J. Nelson, Ari Jordan Reed, Was Los Angeles Rams Matt Prater, Det Season: 854 Avg: 85.4
Week 10 Points 25 21 7 23 0 4 9 0 89
rk1101 Carson Wentz, Phi David Johnson, Ari Devontae Booker, Den Emmanuel Sanders, Den Tyrell Williams, SD Tyler Eifert, Cin Arizona Cardinals Nick Novak, Hou Season: 747 Avg: 83
Week 10 Points 8 21 8 5 18 9 7 6 82
Punk is Dead Carson Palmer, Ari Jay Ajayi, Mia Jordan Howard, Chi Kelvin Benjamin, Car Brandon Marshall, NYJ Dennis Pitta, Bal San Diego Chargers Brandon McManus, Den Season: 905 Avg: 90.5
Week 10 Points 14 7 8 6 1 2 2 12 52

Tcepnt takes home the top prize in Week 10 beating out rk1101 by a final score of 89-82. Russell Wilson(25), Doug Baldwin(23), and David Johnson(21) led the way for the winning team this week. Tcepnt's top 3 scorers accounted for 77.5% of his Week 10 total. Punk is Dead remains the leader in total points and weekly average but a season low total for him keeps the door open for the other entries to make a push in the last 7 weeks.

Under the rules of this contest, myself and Tcepnt are picking Week 11 without 80 possible options each. rk1101, who missed Week 8, will be without 72 options in Week 11. The choices have gotten more challenging. Ray Guilfoyle, who joined us for Week 2, and justin.j.gallant, who joined us for Week 6, will have the 8 players they chose removed from the available player pool should they rejoin us this week. A reminder of players that are ineligible to select for Week 11 are:

For those new to the challenge, here are a few ground rules. The format is basic enough; construct a lineup using the following roster setup: 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1DST, & 1K. We will use standard ESPN scoring which is can be found here. There isn’t even a salary cap when setting the lineup!

What makes this challenge… challenging is that you can only select each player ONCE per season! That means if you pick Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, you CANNOT choose him again Weeks 2-17. Matchups play a HUGE part in this game, but so do injuries. Wait too long on using Le’Veon Bell and he could suffer an injury that leaves him unusable in your available player pool the rest of the season. We are using 2RBs and 2WRs per week to make it even more difficult.

For those joining us in Week 11, you have the entire pool of players at your disposal! We will have new winners each week! In addition to that, we will also have a season long total and a weekly average leaderboard.

Can you pick the best lineups all season long? Join the fun in the comments below and may the best faketeamer win!

Please post your lineups in the comments below. I will update this weekly with the leaderboard and you will put next week’s lineup in that post! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments below as well. Thanks for the read and please share this post to grow this challenge and the faketeams community!

*Ty Montgomery will remain a WR only option should any entries choose him going forward*
