Roger drafted live at the Bellagio on Labor Day Weekend and won the Las Vegas League 1 title with a very strong playoff run. He had the high point total in Las Vegas League 1, but didn't have the best record so he needed Weeks 14-16 to secure the entire $7,000 league prize and the league title. He entered the Classic Championship Round in 29th place, but then scored 171.45 points in Week 14 (16th best), 163.95 points in Week 15 (3rd best) and 192.45 points in Week 16 (2nd best).
Gonzalez entered Monday Night's game in 3rd place, 21.75 points behind the leaders: David Hubbard's team. But he got 27.8 points from CJ Anderson and 16 points from Cincinnati's defense to win it all. The pick 6 of Peyton Manning moved him ahead of David Webb for the lead and he sealed the deal with one more pick in the final minute. Cincinnati's D was the only defense he carried into the Championship Round and the Bengals won the $100,000 grand prize for Roger on the final night of the season. Do you think we'll see Roger wearing orange and black at next year's draft or his beloved Saints' jersey?
David Webb scored the most points in Week 16 (198.05) to finish 2nd overall. David jumped from 12th on Monday Night to 2nd, passing Hubbard's team with a trio of Anderson, Emmanuel Sanders and Jeremy Hill! Wow. That trio scored 72.5 points on Monday Night to move Webb past David Hubbard. Scott Newman finished 4th, just 0.89 points behind Hubbard. Congrats to all of our Championship Round qualifiers and the money winners in what was an incredible finish.
As for Roger, he's going for a double-double this year. He currently leads our National Fantasy Basketball Championship's Online Championship contest as he's always near the top in hoops. The last two years he's finished 2nd overall in the NFBKC Main Event and he's battling for that title as well. Great job Roger and we are proud to call you our 11th different NFFC Classic champion. You join a select group of owners in this contest who have won that coveted 14-team overall title. Congrats. You did it the old fashioned way: YOU EARNED IT!!
