Experts Contest: Re-Pete?
The 15th week of the NFL/fantasy football season was full of surprises with a number of players littering the top-5 lists for each position. Jerome Harrison? Matt Moore? Maurice Morris?
All these odd occurrences meant lower scores overall for the experts. Apparently the safest bet you could have made would have been a sawbuck on Peter Davidson from Fantasy Phenoms.
Davidson took top honors for the week as he continued his rise up the charts. A score of 16 by Davidson this week gave him a league-high total of 49 over the last three weeks and vaulted him into contention (fifth overall).
Russ Bliss finished second for the week and is third in the overall competition.
