Cleveland Rocks! – Fantasy Games Won (FGW) Week 9 Update

C.J. Stroud scored more fantasy points in Week 9 than any other QB has scored in a week thus far in 2023 (using typical scoring systems). Stroud didn’t completely come out of nowhere, either, a la De’Von “4Chan” Achane in Week 3.

But in case you haven’t figured it out from the helmet in the video thumbnail below, or from the on-the-nose title, another fantasy asset led Week 9. One that we did not expect.

You know who we haven’t talked about as much in 2023 as we have in previous years? Travis Kelce.

Not referring to in pop culture – obviously, he’s at an all-time high there due to the fact that Taylor Swift is like the most famous person in the world now – but specifically in Fantasy Games Won.

The Travis Kelce “silence” comes to an end today.

You Either Drafted Raheem Mostert, or Your Draft Was Just OK – Fantasy Games Won (FGW) Week 6 Reaction

What is FGW? Check out the full lowdown here or watch the video here.

TL;DR – FGW is the number of Head-to-Head fantasy football matchups a player has won his team, on average. dFGW is FGW adjusted for draft ADP rank.

Raheem Mostert was roughly a 9th round pick in 2023 Fantasy Drafts. Through Week 6 he has produced 0.64 more wins than the average starting Fantasy RB. 7 other players drafted after DJ Moore (52nd ranked player by ADP) have net positive Fantasy Games Won through 6 weeks (Aiyuk, Montgomery, Mike Williams, Kamara, Evans, Swift, and Tua). Combined, they have provided 0.55 more wins than average starters at their position.

The question of did you have a good draft from rounds 6-10 comes down to this: Did you draft Mostert?

And just like that, Justin Jefferson stopped being a Fantasy Football machine.

Last week I mentioned that Justin Jefferson was about to pass Cooper Kupp for the lead in the All-Time FGW Ranks. Then, something happened that we did no expect…

Joe Burrow Just Had The Worst 4-Game Stretch In Fantasy Football Since 2020 – Fantasy Games Won (FGW) Week 4 Update

Joe Burrow fantasy owners are so deep in the standings that it’s not clear whether their burrows are actually just graves.

Weeks 1-4 have been so bad for Joe, that I thought it was worth it to look back at the worst 4-game stretches since I started tracking FGW in 2021. The results aren’t pretty for Mr. Dirt…

Week 3 featured more jublant Dolphins than an Aaron Rodgers self-hypnosis tape.

But before we get into Football’s resident chirping sea mammals, about all the chirping I invited on Reddit with last week’s column…

Ja’Marr Chase, The Most Talented WR in Football, Has Been The Worst Fantasy Asset of 2023 – Fantasy Games Won (FGW) Week 2 Update

Going into 2023, I had a slightly uncommon #1 player on my fantasy board. I don’t have a projections model, so I had basically every other projections model to go by, but with my reasoning layered on top:

  • I didn’t like McCaffrey at the top spot because of his injury history and the risk of sharing the load in SF more than he ever did in Carolina
  • I didn’t like Ekeler at the top spot because I thought he took a bit of a step back in 2023, and it felt odd taking a player 1st in 2023 that was a worse prospect than his 3rd overall pick 2022 version (I know I’m falling for baseline/anchoring fallacy here, but I digress)
  • Between Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase, I believe Chase is the most talented WR in the NFL, and has more upside than Jefferson. So Chase was my pick.

Before we get into the pungent season that Chase has had so far, let’s dig into that “most talented” claim…

Tyreek Hill Outruns The Week 1 Buzzsaw – Fantasy Games Won (FGW) Week 1 Update

I haven’t been through an emotional roller coaster like that since my youngest son had the cord around his neck.

Video version for the eyeball crowd

I’m writing this Tuesday morning and, for those that don’t know, I’m a Jets fan. (My fantasy week 1 was rough, but not THAT rough.) Now it’s time to write the first Weekly Update post of the year with all the emotion vaporized out of me, as if someone microwaved the water supply.

Dr. Cobalt isn’t here right now. But if you’d like to leave a message…

Time to send that buzzsaw to R&D for post-race inspection. And I guess I’ll have to find other sources of emotion to adequately evaluate everything that has happened…

Full explanation for FGW HERE.

Who Won The Week?
