Welcome to the Final update of the Fake Teams Fantasy Football Eliminator Challenge!
Week 17 saw incredible games and incredible fantasy football performances. Let’s take a look at how our entries did in the season’s final week:
Week 17 Results

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | QB | RB | RB | WR | WR | TE | DST | K | Total |

| Week 17 Points | 13 | 6 | 13 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 15 | 10 | 63 |
Punk is Dead played it solo in week 17 putting up 63 points. He caps off the season just 1 point higher than his season worst of 62 (which he put up in week 16). He finished the season with 1429 total points. Last season, Punk won this contest with 1462 total points. He was just 33 points shy of that mark.
An all around disappointing week 17 from Punk’s lineup. The Steelers DST led the way with 15 points. A big kickoff return TD from the unit helped achieve this. Duke Johnson Jr. had a solid 13 points, as did Drew Brees. The WR combo of T.Y. Hilton and Keelan Cole let Punk down by only scoring 1 point a piece.
