Week 6’s winner of the “NFL $700K Baller” contest put up 193.62 points, as scoring was down a bit. The winning entry was comprised of six players owned by fewer than 8.0% of teams, so it took some bargain shopping and deep sleepers to take home this week’s $70,000 prize.
Brian Hoyer helped lead the way at quarterback, as he threw for 293 yards with three scores while costing just $25. He has a 7:1 TD:INT ratio while taking just two sacks over the past three games, compiling a QB Rating over 100.0 in each of those contests. This week’s winner utilized a Houston connection, as they also had DeAndre Hopkins, who put up 148 receiving yards and two scores. Over the last four games, he has 38 catches for 575 yards and three touchdowns. There’s a strong argument Hopkins is the No. 1 fantasy wide receiver, but he wasn’t priced as such.
The winner’s biggest home run came at a different wide receiver, as Martavis Bryant produced 29.50 points yet cost just $20 and was owned by only 1.5% of teams in the pool. Bryant turned eight targets into 137 receiving yards and two scores, and it’s safe to wonder whether we’d have a different winner this week had Michael Vick not left injured. Bryant now has 10 career touchdown catches on just 32 receptions. His price tag ($21) remains affordable in Week 7, and that’s with a matchup against a Chiefs defense that’s allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season.

Chris Ivory was another big contributor, as he totaled 196 yards and hit pay dirt. Durability remains a long-term concern for Ivory, but he has four touchdowns over four games this season and has racked up 362 yards from scrimmage over the last two contests. He’s a borderline top-five fantasy back with a price tag ($28) in Week 7 that looks awfully enticing.
The Dolphins defense might have been the biggest difference maker in this week’s contest, as they put up 24.0 points thanks to four turnovers, including a pick-six. The Dolphins entered with just one sack on the season, but they recorded five by halftime, with Cameron Wake responsible for four of them. Miami was started by just 3.1% of teams and cost $10, which is the cheapest possible option in the tournament. It’s no coincidence they were owned by each of the top-three finishers (and four of the top five).
This week’s winner had the No. 1 scoring running back, the No. 1 and No. 3 scoring wide receivers and the No. 1 scoring defense, and unlike last week when it came down to the final play Monday night, there was no late drama. In fact, no team that finished in the top-10 used a player in the Giants/Eagles game, so this was essentially wrapped up after Sunday night (with the help of Danny Amendola, whose 105 receiving yards more than doubled his total over the previous four games combined and were his most since 2013).
