Don’t you wish all your players had the same look of determination as Ray Rice? Our winner, Avila, rode Rice’s 35 points in Week 15 to capture our top prize. Scott Pianowski from Yahoo! Sports put together a well-balanced lineup to finish in a respectable 186 out of 590 entries. Congrats to the 185 of you that received a “beat the expert” bonus this week. Our total prize giveaway in Week 15 was almost $1,500!
We’re dialing things up for Week 16, our Championship Week, so stay tuned for more details. Meanwhile, read on to see Week 15’s top finishers and the actual lineups chosen by Pianowski and Avila.
Here are the Top 8 teams for Week 15, along with their fantasy points:
1. avila – 151.66
2. jsackoor – 146.98
3. 603greg – 146.08
4. oneofthebest – 145.08
5. jimotto68 – 143.06
6. willieminidog – 141.00
7. nickeldime – 140.60
8. uofmalltheway05 – 140.28
Congrats to Avila and the other top finishers that will each take home a piece of our $500 prize pool. And, of course, congrats to the 185 of you that won a $5 bonus for taking down our pro.
It’s always fun to see what the lineups were, so here are the rosters that were selected by Scott Pianowski and Avila:
Scott’s Team (104.96)
QB – Peyton Manning, IND
RB – Jonathan Stewart, CAR
RB – Chris Johnson, TEN
WR – Andre Johnson, HOU
WR – Miles Austin, DAL
WR – DeSean Jackson, PHI
TE – Jacob Tamme, IND
K – Shayne Graham, NE
D – New England Patriots
That’s a very well-balanced team with no one player scoring less than 9 points except for Jacob Tamme. Scott lacked a big stud performance from someone like Michael Vick or Ray Rice to catapult his team to the top of the standings.
Avila’s Team (151.66)
QB – Matt Ryan, ATL
RB – Ryan Torain, WAS
RB – Ray Rice, BAL
WR – Roddy White, ATL
WR – Calvin Johnson, DET
WR – Austin Collie, IND
TE – Marcedes Lewis, JAC
K – Billy Cundiff, BAL
D – Atlanta Falcons
I’m shocked that the winning team did not have Michael Vick in the lineup. Avlla successfully picked on Seattle by deploying three Atlanta players, and he obviously hit big with Ray Rice and Austin Collie. Congrats again to Avlla for taking our top spot this week!
I’d like to thank Scott Pianowski for graciously agreeing to be our Featured Pro in Week 15. We’re very fortunate to be receiving so much support from the fantasy football community and industry, and the experts at Yahoo! Sports have been especially great to work with.
More details on our Week 16 Championship Contest will be posted soon.
