Championship week in the world of fantasy football was much like every other week of this season … wacky and oftentimes unpredictable. A number of “unstartable” fantasy quarterbacks like Jarrett Stidham, Russell Wilson (he’s been unstartable), Deshaun Watson and Sam Darnold were among the top 10 players at the position based on fantasy points. Stidham outscored all but two quarterbacks heading into Sunday night , and he did it against the San Francisco 49ers defense!
The running back position wasn’t better, either, as top 30 picks like Saquon Barkley, Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, Leonard Fournette, Josh Jacobs and Nick Chubb all posted mediocre totals at best. Rhamondre Stevenson, Miles Sanders and David Montgomery didn’t help us, either! At least Christian McCaffrey and Austin Ekeler lived up to expectations! We did see a huge performance from one wide receiver (no one saw it coming), and one of the position’s top superstars did a Houdini act.
With that being said, let’s start our fantasy football whip around Sunday’s action in Tampa Bay, where Tom Brady and Mike Evans gifted many managers a title.
