Metter New Main Leader; Cobb Back Atop FPC

Winner Winner: Metter in 1st Place

180.2 Vaults ’10 Main Event Champ To Top of 2017 Contest

While being in the lead of a national contest his nothing new to Don Metter, I’m willing to bet that he loves seeing his winner winner chicken dinner franchise atop the 2017 FFPC Main Event. Carson Wentz’s 34.7 led the way for Metter in Week 7 with Todd Gurley (25.4), Zach Ertz (22.4), Jacksonville’s defense (22) and Mark Ingram (21) also having an impact on his 180.2 tally.

Ron Hacker’s Cracker Packers remained in second place for the second straight week, and Chad Schroeder saw his Cocktails and Dreams move up to third place from sixth. Joe Stutesman’s Who Wants IV? stayed in fourth place with last week’s leader Dave Asrani falling to fifth.

Since the start of the season, Michael Cobb’s Boss Savage!! has been no stranger to the lead in the 2017 Footballguys Players Championship, Week 7 was no different because when the dust settled, Cobb was holding a 42.1-point lead over second place Dallas Grimes’ KC Deacons. In addition to Wentz, Gurley and Ertz, Cobb also saw Amari Cooper explode for 44 points as well.

New HSLD & HSFF Hour This Week

A previous winner of multiple FPC leagues, Paul Gromek–the seventh-place team heading into Week 7 in the 2017 Footballguys Players Championship–join us Friday night. We’ll break down the Thursday night game, where the fantasy value lies in the Brett Hundley-led Packers and make our predictions on the Ezekiel Elliott saga. Plus we bring you up to speed on the latest in the 2017 Fantasy Football Players Championship Main Event, too!

The High Stakes Fantasy Football Hour normally airs Friday nights at 10/9c.

Tomorrow morning, remember to check out Rotoviz Radio‘s The High-Stakes Lowdown podcast with John Shaw discussing starting both Saints running backs, bidding real cash in the Off-The-Grid draft and Carlos Hyde’s rest-of-season value. Plus 2016 Main Event Champ Nelson Sousa leads off the episode with his thoughts on cutting Terrelle Pryor and Jamison Crowder and the Cardinals offense with Adrian Peterson and without Carson Palmer.

You can check out a new episode of The High-Stakes Lowdown every Thursday on Rotoviz.com, Rotoviz Radio’s BlogTalkRadio channel or iTunes. I’d also encourage you to check out all of the other great podcasts that Rotoviz Radio has to offer including Fantasyland, a show that has already featured many FFPC players as well.

 

Lee Continues to Lead Pros Vs. Joes

Branon Marianne Lee’s 181.4 kept the HerFantasyFootball.com entry atop the 2017 Pros Vs. Joes competition again. In Week 7, she had Kenny Stills (26.5), Gurley, Ertz, Jarvis Landry (22.3) and Blake Bortles (21.6) all help her keep a 23.9-point lead over fellow Joe, JJ Zachariason from Numberfire. Jeff Howle is leading the way for the FFPC Joes as he sits in third with another Joe Don Lacknett behind him in fourth. Completing the top five is Rotoviz’s Mike Beers after seven weeks of play.

Joining Lee, Zachariason, Howle and Beers as division leaders are DraftSharks.com’s Jared Smola and FFPC Joe Shelby Stewart. Each one of the division winners will take home a free 2018 FFPC Main Event team at season’s end.
