A new leader in the overall standings and a familiar face claims the weekly competition and the most impressive debut we’ve ever had highlighted Week Eight of 411fantasy.com’s experts competition.

First, the weekly winner – for the third time this season – 411fantasy.com’s own Adam Conn. It’s good for business if the co-founder of the site is at the head of the class, but it makes it tough to talk to him. He’s looking at various tattoo designs with the word “guru.”

The rookie participant is Zack O’Malley Greenburg from Forbes magazine. He tied for second in the weekly contest. Who was he tied with? Our new leader…

Dave Richard from CBS jumped to first place, ahead of Conn and Jeff Boggis from Fantasy Sports Empires.
