We offer our congratulations (and a $25 Starbucks gift card) to Greg Forgione, whose "Mr. Hankey" topped the Fantasy Index Super League in Week 6 with 203 points scored. Greg proves that it makes sense to keep playing every week, no matter what. He's been hit with bad luck and has two scores of less than 100 points this year, yet cleaned up in Week 6 and will be enjoying pumpkin-spiced-whatever while the rest of us sulk.
We failed to announce the official winner of the Best Team Name contest last week. We will handle that this week for sure!
