Since the beginning of the Fantasy Games Won blog series, it has been a fully retrospective post. The idea is the commiserate on the absurdity that Fantasy Football often is – to put into context the voodoo-like nature of “every time I bench James Cook, he goes off!” laments from Fantasy Football managers.
That conformity ends this week. Now, I will try to help you win fantasy football matchups. Try.

Been a while since I made a post. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been up to stuff. Here’s everything you need to catch up:

Here’s the plan: Do a run-through on Fantasy Championships Won, somehow don’t undermine the whole concept of FGW, and then announce the winners. Simple, right?
We’ve entered a new phase of the fantasy season – the playoffs.
No special post for the blog this week, but here are links to all the key spots:

In 2022, Fantasy Football Least Valuable Player Tom Brady saw his percent started rate drop to 14% in Week 14 and Week 15.
Meanwhile, Najee Harris is in line to win LVP in 2023. His percent started rate has never dropped below 53% on non-bye weeks in his entire career, despite scoring under 10 fantasy points (half-ppr) in 17 of his last 35 games. Not only that, he has scored under 5 points four separate times in 2023 (Weeks 1, 2, 5, and 11) and hasn’t had a 20 point game since Week 11 of 2022.
Week 13 had a good number of stud performances that helped fantasy teams far and wide. Familiar faces were there, like Tyreek and Ceedee. We also had some unfamiliar faces that aren’t as easily ID’d by first name, like Michael (Pittman) and Evan (Engram).
Week 13 would have been an excellent week for fantasy if not for one pesky reality of Fantasy Football – injuries. Most prominently injured may be the first name that, while new, we all recognize already – Tank.

If you graded 2023 fantasy players on a curve, where 0% is last place in FGW, and 100% is 1st place in FGW, you’d have two main competitors for valedictorian: Tyreek Hill (A+) and Christian McCaffrey (A, 97%).
Not only does nobody else get an A, but nobody else gets a B. Or even a C+.
