Chris Ditoro and his G.M. Chris O' Connor, who orchestrates the strategy behind their 25 entries,
use their wizardry to take the first small piece of the prize pool with a week one victory for Oz.
With players on opposing sides of Sunday's late game, it appears OZ was constructed with Week
One in mind. Many viewed this game to have the best potential for scoring. In the first half OZ
got 2 long touchdowns, a 51-yard TD catch by Golden Tate and a 76-yarder to Terrance
Williams. OZ added another score in the 3rd Quarter on DeMarco Murray's fourth-down plunge
into the end zone. The clincher came with 2:32 remaining when Terrance Williams caught his
second TD of the game.
Williams wound up as the highest scoring wide receiver (22 points). OZ also had the top scoring
running back, Dan Herron (22 points). Herron had 141 scrimmage yards and a score for Indy.
Oz also had QB Luck from Indy, who threw for 376 yards and a touchdwon, and T.Y. Hilton, who
caught 6 balls for 103 yards. Luck and Hilton were on the opening week winner last year as well.
Lastly Oz's defense is worth mentioning for its record-setting performance. Carolina allowed the
fewest net yards ever in a playoff game. Carolina forced three turnovers and notched four sacks
as well.
Ditoro was the original Champion in the Pool and he notched third place in the 2010 Fantasy
Playoff Pool. All along the way has been the behind-the-scenes wizardry of O'Connor. Congrats
to Oz.

FANTASY PLAYOFF POOL RESULTS
Week Two goes to Trevor Pinkney from Canada. Pinkney got 4 TD passes on Saturday from
Flacco. Flacco brought his 2015 playoff total to 6. For the second straight week, Pinkney got
touchdowns from both his RBs, DeMarco Murray and Dan Herron. Murray, who was the most
selected player in the pool, finishes the playoffs with 198 yards rushing and 2 scores. Herron has
been a pleasant surprise with 236 yards from scrimmage and 2 scores. He has caught a whopping
18 balls in 2 games and remained in use in week 2 despite coughing it up twice in week one.
Pinkney got his only TD from a WR this week from Steve Smith Sr., despite Smith being stuck on
Revis Island. T.Y. Hilton leads Pinkney's team in receiving yards with 175 thus far. The lowest
scoring player on Pinkney's roster has made the most news. Dez Bryant had only 80 yards in 2
games, but was the lead story on Sunday when there was a controversial overturn of his
fourth-down catch. To win the week, Pinkney jumped over the week one winner, Oz. Oz fell to
second place.
Pinkney is from Canada and has been in the Playoff Pool for each of the last six years. Trevor
actually book-ended the standings as he had the last place team as well.

'Scotty Doesn't Know' took the division round prize behind Tom Brady's 367
yards passing and 3 touchdown passes. Brady also scored the team's only
rushing touchdown. Scotty's team scored an impressive six receiving
touchdowns this weekend, including a pair from $4 WR Danny Amendola. The
team's other TDs came from Justin Forsett, Jermaine Kearse, DeMaryius
Thomas and Rob Gronkowski. Three of the scorers also topped the century
mark. Gronk (108) and Kearse (129) did it through the air, while Forsett (129)
did it on the ground. Scotty won the week without an active kicker.
Scotty had the top two teams this round. Scotty's winning team also
currently has them most points (137.8) when using each player's best
single-game fantasy performance which would be an additional $250 prize at
the end if it holds up.

Trevor Pinkney from Canada remains on top for Fantasy Playoff Pool Week 3. Pinkey
entered the week with only Dan Herron and T.Y. Hilton remaining active. The duo got 'Pinkney'
only 10 fantasy points this week, but that was enough to hold off the competition for at least a
week. 'OZ15' sat in second place after week 2 and was guaranteed to leapfrog over Pinkney if
they got 7 fantasy points from Andrew Luck. Luck struggled and got only three. Entries with
Packer, Seahawk and Patriot players began too far back to make up enough ground to catch
Pinkney. The closest team to Pinkney before the weekend with more than one non-Colt active was
Troy Stiles and he was 45 points behind.
Steve Gerwer watched his son's 'Stephster521' team go into the top 10 late into the fourth
quarter of the NFC Championship. Stephster521 was the leading Aaron Rodgers team, which also
had Cobb and Nelson. Stephster521 wound up doomed by the Packers' late collapse, but it was
Gerwer's own team that made the Pool's biggest splash by the end of the night. "Steve" got 305
yards and 4 scores on the ground from his two Running Backs, Blount & Lynch. "Steve" got 3 TD
passes from Brady, 106 yards receiving from Doug Baldwin and topped the Playoff Pool with 99.7
fantasy points for the weekend. He will be one of the favorites entering SB49.
Ditoro had another team make a splash as 'OZ 16' moved into third place and is the top entry
with active players remaining. 'OZ16' still has Brady, Blount, Kearse and the New England Defense
still active. Besides the big days from Brady and Blount, 'OZ16' got a big overtime TD from
Jermaine Kearse in week 3. Kearse has scored in both weeks he played. 'OZ16' also leads the
standings which only calculates the best single-game fantasy performance for each roster spot,
which is good for a separate $250 prize.
