We are down to the wire in the HP Fantasy Challenge.
For those of you not familiar with the game, the HP Fantasy Challenge is a fantasy contest I started this season. Each player who entered was given 12 pre-set Heisman candidates and was allowed to choose one wild card from any team he wanted, for a total of 13 players per team.
Each player on a team could only be ‘played’ once in the entire season. Injuries were a part of the game (no replacement players) and no trades were allowed. Scoring was based on ESPN’s fantasy league.
The prize? Two tickets to the 2007 Rose Bowl.
Anyway, after 13 weeks, we have a new leader.
Jim Rob has accumulated 284 points and is now eight points ahead of Drew Tater Tots, who has 276 points.
However, Jim Rob has used his entire team. Drew Tater Tots, who led most of the year, has Kyle Wright, but the Miami quarterback is out for the year. So one thing we know for sure is that neither of these two teams can score any more points.
Coming up in third place is Go Bears, who has 274 points, but has also finished up his scoring.
DT Sports has 263 points, but his remaining player is Adrian Peterson, who is unlikely to play in the Big 12 title game. So his scoring is likely done.
But the contest is not yet decided.
That’s because Hoosier Daddy, who has 260 points, has one player left to play–Cal’s Marshawn Lynch.
If Lynch can score 25 fantasy points against Stanford, then Hoosier Daddy will walk away with the two Rose Bowl tickets. Should there be a tie, we will revert to tie breakers entered at the start of the contest.
See the right sidebar for the top 10.
Great job to all who entered. It looks like it will be an exciting finish. Look for more fantasy action here at HP next season.
