We are now just one week away from awarding the Fantasy Football World Champion. Before we see if the current leaders can hold on, the FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 16 looks back at the penultimate week of this wild 2022 season.
FFWC World Championship
Two of the three 2022 Fantasy Football World Championship playoff rounds are now complete. For a second straight week, the standings changed dramatically. We have a new overall leader and 14 new teams entered the Top 30 Leaderboard. Plus, three new teams entered the Top 5 and just 25 points separate those squads.
After entering the playoffs in 81st place, then moving up to second last week, Miss New Booty (Online #21) has completed his climb to first overall. Oliver Dawoud posted 175.50 points and now leads the FFWC X race to $150,000 by a slim 4.57 points.
Moving up eight spots, Zefurs (Online #23) jumped from tenth to second place. KJ Dukesherer posted 190.90 points, which was the highest WC Week 16 score. A rare feat, KJ activated a perfect lineup and his eleven starters all scored double-digit points.
Climbing two spots, Coyote Miscreants (Online #26) moved from fifth to third overall and sit just 7.09 points out of first place. The Mike Santos/Kurt Kuekes squad had three players crack the 30-point barrier and finished with 175.75 points.
Jumping five positions, Detroit Iceholes (Vegas LIVE #2) went from ninth to fourth place. Adam Rouls’ squad posted 175.10 points and sits 19.02 points out of the FFWC X overall lead.
Making the biggest move, of the Top 10 teams, Cruze Control (Online #13) moved from 55th to fifth place. Sean Cruzen’s crew racked up 189.40 points, which was the third-highest Week 16 World Championship total.
