2017 Fantasy Football Eliminator Challenge: Week 10

Welcome to the Week 10 update of the Fake Teams Fantasy Football Eliminator Challenge!

Week 9 saw incredible games and incredible fantasy football performances. Let’s take a look at how our entries did in Week 9:

Mark Abell takes home the top spot in week 9 with 100 total points. This is the first time since week 5 that one of our entries reached triple digits. This win is the 2nd of the season for Abell. He also moves up to 3rd in total overall points this season.

Abell can think Jared Goff and his career day for the week 9 victory. Goff was awesome with 311 passing yards 4 passing touchdowns and zero turnovers. This performance not only led to a 51-17 Rams win over the Giants, it also gave Goff 28 points for the week! Perhaps even more impressive was that Goff only had 14 completions!

Abell’s week 9 squad was solid from top to bottom in his win. DeAndre Hopkins(14), Adrian Peterson(13), and Jared Cook(12) all had great games for Abell. On the opposite end of the spectrum was GanjaDwarvez. Doug Martin, Ed Dickson, and the Bills DST all put up zero points for their owner in week 9. Bummer!

Under the rules of this contest all 3 entries who competed in weeks 1-9 will be without the 72 players they selected going forward. Ghoji Blackburn, who missed week 9, Heath Capps, who missed weeks 7, 8, & 9, Tcepnt, who missed weeks 6, 7, 8, & 9, and Pete Rodgers, who missed weeks 4, 6, 7, & 9, will be without the players they picked so far this season going forward. A reminder of players that are ineligible to select for Week 10 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. This is NON PPR where a 5 catch for 32 yard day equals 3 fantasy points. Passing touchdowns are 4 points. There isn’t even a salary cap when setting the lineup!

The challenge is 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 Rob Gronkowski and he could suffer an injury which leaves him unusable in your available player pool for 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 10, 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.

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 Fake Teams community!
