Congrats to week 12’s top-rated expert: Rich Hribar (The Fake Football). Hribar’s best predictions came at the QB position. He slotted Matthew Stafford (337 passing yards, 5 TDs) 5 spots above the Expert Consensus as his QB #5. He was also high on Russell Wilson (345 passing yards, 5 TDs), ranking him 3 spots above the Consensus. On the flip side, Hribar helped his cause by correctly downgrading several of week 12’s biggest busts. His rank (QB #22) for Tony Romo (3 INTs, 106 passing yards) was lower than all but 3 experts. He also gets credit for placing Drew Brees (his QB #10) and Matt Ryan (his QB #20) each 5 spots below the Expert Consensus. Brees turned in his lowest fantasy output of the season (0 TD passes) and Ryan had his 2nd worst fantasy performance. For his non-QB picks, Hribar’s best read was on the week’s top WR: Doug Baldwin (145 receiving yards, 3 TDs). Hribar ranked Baldwin 12 spots above the Consensus (his WR #35), which was higher than all but 2 experts.
