Fantasy Football Recap: Week Three

Welcome back to our weekly update of how the inaugural Wisconsin High School Fantasy Football League is playing out! Week three turned out to be our closest matchup of the season between myself (Mark Johnson) and Oliver West as the winner pulled it off by only 17.5 points. The stats and performances that the athletes are putting up are getting more and more impressive each week as Oliver finished with his highest score of the season to date, and I (Mark) had my second best week of the season. Take a look at who won, the points scored from each player, and a recap of the matchup below! <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 210px;"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 21px;"> <td style="width: 25%;

When you look at each individual positional matchup Oliver’s squad won the matchups 6-3. He continues to have unreal play from the QB position behind [player_tooltip player_id="30852" first="Riley" last="Christensen"]’s dual threat performance of 84 passing yards, 2 passing TDs, 255 rushing yards, and 3 TDs. His team also got a big boost from TE [player_tooltip player_id="30730" first="Garrett" last="Gillette"]’s big night last Friday where he put up 92 receiving yards and a TD. Add in [player_tooltip player_id="30745" first="Matteo" last="Bonnin"]’s first appearance on the team and his big night rushing for 142 yards, 54 receiving yards, and scoring twice, along with [player_tooltip player_id="30914" first="Tate" last="Sauerwein"]’s 273 rushing yards, and 3 TDs, and several other matchup wins and you end up with the second best scoring performance of the fantasy season! Oliver’s team is on the come-up and he currently sits at a 1-2 record after three weeks and is looking to even up the season series in week 4. My team, Mark’s Team, continues to ride the dominant QB and RB performances. QB [player_tooltip player_id="30837" first="Adam" last="Moen"] went off last Friday as he put up 326 passing yards, 1 passing TD, along with 102 rushing yards and 3 TDs. For the second time in three weeks I went with the RB heavy lineup, which usually pays off in standard scoring. It almost did thanks to three elite performances at the position. RB [player_tooltip player_id="30868" first="Tanner" last="Marsh"] did his usual thing and put up 275 rushing yards, and 3 TDs. RB [player_tooltip player_id="30741" first="Alex" last="Current"] continued to be the most efficient RB in the state with his 174 rushing yards, and 3 TDs on only 6 carries. He also added in a reception for 27 yards. The third piece at the RB spot that helped keep this matchup as close as it was is [player_tooltip player_id="30915" first="Dylan" last="Dohr"]. Dylan went off for 233 rushing yards and 2 TDs. The team currently sits at 2-1 on the season and is looking to get back on the winning side in week 4.
