1. Manginas 541 points: Nailed his first few draft picks, snagging Puka Nacua (WR01/117 points) at the top of the 2nd round. James Cook (RB05/104 points) was a steal in the 3rd round. Joe Burrow (QB23/44 points) got hurt but he made do with Justin Herbert (QB10/75 points) until Burrow came back in week 13 (although he had to trade TreVeyon Henderson (RB14/57 points) to get him back). A late season trade for Zay Flowers (WR09/63 points) also helped seal the deal, and he finished 2nd at the position. Missed out on a late-season surge by Rhamondre Stevenson (RB17/52 points), but a nice season from Cameron Dicker (PK07/60 points) helped make up the difference, and he finished 3rd at the kicker position. Really solid season and his 2nd total points victory and first playoff victory. What will his new team name be?
   
   
2. Team Whitey 520 points: Really boom/bust at the top of the draft. 1st rounder Jonathan Taylor (RB03/114 points) and 4th rounder Dak Prescott (QB03/100 points) were studs, but Justin Jefferson (WR16/50 points), Omarion Hampton (RB26/31 points) and Xavier Worthy (WR47/16 points) were busts. Made some great late round picks that saved his season: 6th rounder Trey McBride (WR06/84 points) was terffic, 7th rounder Chris Olave (WR07/69 points) stayed healthy and had a great season, and 9th rounder Travis Etienne Jr. (RB09/69 points) had his best season. The real gem was 10th rounder Matthew Stafford (QB01/124 points), who finished as the top QB (we were all scared to draft him because of back issues). Juggling both QBs, he finished #1 at QB and scored more points than either QB would have on their own. Also finished 2nd at RB.
   
   
3. Glory Holes 513 points: Absolutely nailed his first two draft picks, snagging Bijan Robinson (RB02/123 points) and De'Von Achane (RB04/109 points) and finishing with 259 RB points, a league record. 3rd rounder Brock Bowers (WR24/41 points) was a bit of a bust but getting George Pickens (WR05/86 points) in the 6th round was a steal. 7th rounder Travis Hunter (WR49/14 points) also flopped. While just average at positions other than RB, he did a great job managing starters and led the league in efficiency at 84.93%.
   
   
4. Pillow Biters 480 points: A below average draft except for two great picks: 1st rounder Christian McCaffrey (RB01/132 points) was #1 player in the league, and 11th rounder Drake Maye (QB04/98 points) was a steal who he quickly identified as a starter at got 11 games from him. Got lucky and snagged Stefon Diggs (WR13/56 points) (his 3rd best player) in the 1st waiver wire and started him 13 times. 3rd rounder Bucky Irving (RB23/36 points) and 4th rounder Calvin Ridley (WR55/8 points) were busts. 5th rounder Tony Pollard (RB20/46 points) and 6th rounder DJ Moore (WR25/40 points) were okay but not league winners. Did a nice job on defense, led by Marcus Jones (DF02/19 points), and finished 4th at the position despite starting 8 different players.
   
   
5. G Practice Unit 467 points: Went hard at WR in the draft, first three picks were Ja'Marr Chase (WR03/94 points), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR02/112 points) and A.J. Brown (WR10/61 points). Finished 1st at the position with 256 points, which is the 2nd highest in league history. Forced to go zero-RB, it didn't really work out with 4th rounder Breece Hall (RB16/53 points) and 6th rounder Jaylen Warren (RB19/48 points). 9th rounder Cam Skattebo (RB21/38 points) was looking pretty good until he got hurt, and his team ultimately finished last at RB. 5th rounder Jordan Love (QB15/63 points) was disappointing as his starting QB, and while 12th rounder Sam Darnold (QB13/68 points) was a late gem, he wasn't much better and his team ended finishing 8th at QB. Finished 10th at kicker and defense.
   
   
6. US Americans 452 points: When your kicker is your highest scoring player (Ka'imi Fairbairn (PK01/78 points)), you most likely had a disappointing season. He finished 1st at kicker and 2nd on defense (thanks to Will Anderson Jr. (DF04/16 points)). He somehow managed a 3rd place finish at QB by starting all the SF QBs (5th rounder Brock Purdy (QB17/59 points) and Mac Jones (QB24/40 points). Injuries like 2nd rounder Malik Nabers (WR49/14 points) and 3rd rounder Mike Evans (WR45/18 points) and busts like 1st rounder Saquon Barkley (RB12/61 points), 4th rounder Isiah Pacheco (RB43/10 points) accounted for most of his team's poor performance. Foolishly cut Stefon Diggs (WR13/56 points) for Troy Franklin (WR21/45 points) in the first waiver wire, much to Matt's delight. Swindled Gordy for Nico Collins (WR08/64 points) just before Mike Evans (WR45/18 points) got hurt. RB was his achillies heel all year, and he finished 10th at the position. Had a couple of nice weeks at the end of the season which got him deep into the playoffs, but Saquon Barkley (RB12/61 points) really sucked when he needed him.
   
   
7. Abusement Park 443 points: First 3 draft picks were okay. 1st rounder Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR04/92 points) was solid. 2nd rounder Josh Jacobs (RB10/66 points) was startable but not great, and 3rd rounder Patrick Mahomes (QB08/79 points) was QB05 when he got hurt in week 15. Middle round picks were mostly busts, including 4th rounder Alvin Kamara (RB34/20 points), 6th rounder David Montgomery (RB28/27 points), 7th rounder Matthew Golden (WR53/10 points), and 8th round mega-bust Kaleb Johnson (RB53/0 points). 5th rounder Tyreek Hill (WR51/12 points) was looking good until his catastropic injury on MNF. Getting DeVonta Smith (WR21/45 points) in the second waiver wire helped make up for the loss. Third ranked defense boasted NFL sack leader Myles Garrett (DF01/25 points).
   
   
8. Brighton Bruisers 436 points: Drafted two decent RBs with picks 1 and 2, Derrick Henry (RB06/89 points) and Chase Brown (RB07/81 points), and finished a respectable 5th at RB. Rolled with 3rd rounder Jalen Hurts (QB10/75 points) all year and finished 10th at QB. Started 5 different WRs at least 4 times, led by 6th rounder Emeka Egbuka (WR17/49 points), 9th rounder Jaylen Waddle (WR22/44 points), and 5th rounder Tetairoa McMillan (WR19/47 points), and finished 8th at the position. Waited until round 5 to grab his first WR so it was to be expected. Drafted TreVeyon Henderson (RB14/57 points) in the 4th round but only started him once and ended up trading him for Jameson Williams (WR14/55 points), which was a net loss. Henderson subsequently went off, of course. Grabbed Michael Wilson (WR13/56 points) in a later waiver wire and got a few points (15) from him at the end of the year. Middling season.
   
   
9. Stumps 412 points: First two draft picks, Jahmyr Gibbs (RB04/109 points) and Josh Allen (QB02/102 points), were studs. Despite heavy investment at WR with 3rd rounder Ladd McConkey (WR25/40 points) and 4th rounder Davante Adams (WR15/53 points), he only finished 10th at WR. His best WR was 7th rounder Zay Flowers (WR09/63 points), but he only started him 6 times and then traded him for Troy Franklin (WR21/45 points), oops. 7th rounder D'Andre Swift (RB12/61 points) was also a gem but he only started him 5 times for 16 points. Rico Dowdle (RB15/54 points) was a nice waiver grab but he kept missing the good weeks, getting only 13 points in 8 starts. Horrendous at kicker with only 24 points at the position, he kept starting and missing, finishing last at the position. Tough year.
   
   
10. Yeast Infection 411 points: An abysmal draft, headlined by the biggest bust in the 1st round, Brian Thomas Jr. (WR37/26 points). 2nd rounder Drake London (WR12/59 points) wasn't bad, although he missed a few games. 3rd rounder and Superbowl MVP Kenneth Walker III (RB20/46 points) sucked in fantasy, and 4th rounder Jayden Daniels (QB31/21 points) missed too many games to have any value. His best draft pick was 6th rounder Trevor Lawrence (QB06/94 points), but he only started him once, and ended up rolling with Jacoby Brissett (QB11/72 points) for the last half of the season, who wasn't bad. 7th rounder Rashee Rice (WR23/43 points) was pretty good too, but he only played 8 games. Snagging Wan'Dale Robinson (WR13/56 points) in the first waiver wire was a great move as well. Boasted the top ranked defense, led by Aidan Hutchinson (DF03/17 points), Danielle Hunter (DF04/16 points), and Jared Verse (DF09/11 points). Finished 3rd at WR but only scored 66 points at RB, good for 11th place. Too many busts picks to overcome, even with a few nice waiver picks.
    
    
11. Superbowl Bound 394 points: Another zero-RB draft gone horribly wrong, but not because he picked bad RBs. 9th rounder Javonte Williams (RB09/69 points) was a stud and kept him off the bottom, and he actually finished 8th at RB. At WR, he finished 11th despite drafting 4 WRs in the first 5 rounds. 1st rounder CeeDee Lamb (WR11/60 points) was a disappointment, as were 3rd rounder Tee Higgins (WR16/50 points), 4th rounder Terry McLaurin (WR44/19 points), and 5th rounder Garrett Wilson (WR35/28 points). Took kicker Brandon Aubrey (PK02/74 points) in the 6th round, which worked out, as did 12th round steal Quinshon Judkins (RB20/46 points). 2nd rounder Lamar Jackson (QB20/49 points) killed him at QB and he finished last at the position. Defense was just average. Too many misses to overcome.
    
    
12. Sactown Shrimpers 370 points: Actually had a decent draft at the top, with 1st rounder Ashton Jeanty (RB11/62 points) (who was just okay), 2nd rounder Nico Collins (WR08/64 points), 3rd rounder Kyren Williams (RB08/77 points) and 4th rounder Jared Goff (QB05/97 points). What killed him was a horrible trade with CNN where he traded Nico Collins (WR08/64 points) for Mike Evans (WR45/18 points), who promptly got hurt. Drafted Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR38/25 points) in the 5th round, who was awful, and he probably hung with him a little too long, starting him 9 times despite only scoring 1 TD and hitting 3 gooseggs. He finished last at WR and at kicker, where he never could find a decent starter. Snagged a nice waiver pick in Kenneth Gainwell (RB13/58 points) but only started him twice. The 6th round might have been too early Jacory Croskey-Merritt (RB25/32 points) too.
