Go Bills a Week Away From a Million
2021 Champs Maintain 17.41-Point Lead Over Norm Behrens
In a week, the FFPC will not only award its first-ever $1,000,000 grand prize in the 2022 FFPC Main Event, but it may be crowning its first-ever back-to-back Main Event champions as well. The Go Bills franchise owners Dom Baranyi, Sean Stutzman and Nick Costantino kept their lead over this week's guest on the RotoViz High-Stakes Lowdown Norm Behrens' Bigger Boat by 17.41 points thanks in part to CeeDee Lamb's 34, DeVonta Smith's 31.3, Patrick Mahomes' 26, Leonard Fournette's 25.2 and Travis Kelce's 20.3.
Behind Behrens in third place is Chris Hamman's Mookie, which shot up 16 spots this past weekend. ZMLJ, which is run by Brian Burkheiser with Kevin Tone's ForkinGarbage each fell one spot into fourth and fifth place, respectively.
Here's the top 20 teams in the Main Event heading into the final weekend:

Led by Lamb, Smith, Tee Higgins (26.8), Mahomes and Kelce, Harris now holds an 11.73-point lead over 1st & Fifteen--owned by Dr. Dayo Adeseye.

Have you joined the Week 17 FFPC Weekly Challenge yet, players? Get in now, and don't miss out!
As a reminder, there's no draft or salary cap: Just choose 10 or 12 players by Saturday's kickoff and watch them ride all the way through the weekend's games. But remember, you can only pick ONE player per NFL team!
And if you want to get your 2023 fantasy season off to a great start, then play the $200 FFPC Weekly Challenge (10 teams) in both classic and/or slim versions. These are 'winner-take-all' 10-team contests with the winner receiving a 2023 FFPC Main Event credit!
The cost is $35 or $200 to enter in these 30- and 100-team contests. Play the classic format with kickers and defenses or the slim format that does not have them. You may enter up to three times in each 30-team contest or five times in each 100-team contest. Here's what's available this week:
| LEAGUE | OPENINGS | ENTRY | PRIZES | RDS | DEADLINE | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Apply Your Prizes To This Contest
If you already have regular season prizes in your account, or if you're due to win cash after next week, remember that your winnings can be applied to the 2022-23 World Famous FFPC Playoff Challenge. It's the last big contest we have until we turn the page to 2023, players.
The Challenge will have 12 starting roster spots rather than the 10 starting roster spots in a typical FFPC starting lineup. The two added starting roster spots will both be FLEX spots (Flex can be RB, WR or TE). With fourteen total playoff teams and 12 starting roster spots, each entrant will need to fade two teams, which has always been the case for the FFPC Playoff Challenge.
The main details of the Challenge are listed below:
- Entry fee: $200 per team
- Contest capped at a maximum of 7,800 entries.
- $500,000 Grand Prize
- $1,400,250 in guaranteed prizes paying down to 900th place
- Contest runs from the start of the NFL playoffs through the Super Bowl.
- Each team consists of 12 players in an FFPC starting roster format (plus two additional flexes).
- Each team chooses from 14 playoff teams but only ONE per team.
- All rosters will be locked by kickoff of the first NFL playoff game Saturday, January 14th.
- No roster adjustments will be allowed even for games starting later.
- For more details, see the full rules and payout structure on the contest page linked right here.
