Congratulations to week 13’s top-rated expert: Tom Poisal (Top Tier Football). Poisal hit on a wide range of predictions to earn the top accuracy honor. At QB, he was one of a handful of experts to rate Marcus Mariota as a QB1-caliber player. It certainly was the right week to be high on the rookie signal caller as he turned in his best fantasy performance of the season (268 yds passing, 112 yds rushing, 4 TDs). Poisal also showed some faith in another week 13 stud, Russell Wilson (274 yds passing, 4 TDs), by slotting him 3 spots above the Expert Consensus as his QB #8. At RB, Poisal had the highest ranking of the week for Jeremy Hill (his RB #6). That rating was 15 spots above the Expert Consensus and proved to be a good pick as Hill out-touched Gio Bernard en route to piling up 98 yards rushing and a TD. For his WR predictions, Poisal showed good foresight by bumping up several players that exceeded expectations: Devante Parker (his WR #27) and Ted Ginn Jr (his WR #39). Parker (63 yds, 1 TD) was rated 13 spots ahead of the Consensus and Ginn (80 yards, 2 TDs) was slotted 8 spots above the Consensus.
