Week 9 of the Hall of Fantasy league is behind us as we now venture into the second half of the NFL season.
If you are unfamiliar with the league, they do a fantastic job of laying everything out clearly and concisely on their homepage:
“The HOFL consists of 10 Football Franchises representing key markets throughout the U.S. Teams will be managed by a dedicated Front Office of fantasy experts who will compete on behalf of their respective Stakeholders.”
For more information, I wrote up the ins and outs of the entire league, including who is involved. You can read it here.
In regards to this piece, in particular, this will be a weekly piece highlighting where things stand in the league and a matchup to look forward to in the upcoming week.
Stake Rankings
The biggest draw to the HOFL is a fan’s ability to stake a team and have skin in the game without needing to keep up with the day-to-day management. Below is a reminder as to where teams ranked heading into the season in terms of the total stake, with the Vegas Pocket Kings being the league leaders.
| Stake Rank | Team (GM) |
| 1 | Vegas Pocket Kings (Jeff Mans) |
| 2 | Ohio GOATS (Michael Fabiano & Bob Harris) |
| 3 | NY Bodega Cats (Scott Engel & Raphael Rabe) |
| 4 | LA Sidekicks (Christopher Harris) |
| 5 | Chicago Hogmollies (Jeff Ratcliffe) |
| 6 | Texas Y’allers (Sigmund Bloom & Joe Bryant) |
| 7 | Boston Barflies (John Paulsen & Jennifer Eakins) |
| 8 | Atlanta Hot Wings (Graham Barfield & Joe Dolan) |
| 9 | Seattle Haze (Melissa Jacobs & Pat Fitzmaurice) |
| 10 | Philly Powderkegs (Adam Caplan) |
With so much ambiguity heading into Week 9, there was not a specific matchup of the week. Outlined below is how the week shook out around the league last week.
Week 9 Recap – Hall of Fantasy League
Below is a snapshot of how the entire league is shaking out after Week 9’s slate:
| Record | Team | Points Scored | FAAB |
| 6-3-0 | Ohio GOATS | 1519 | $6 |
| 6-3-0 | NY Bodega Cats | 1484 | $30 |
| 6-3-0 | Chicago Hogmollies | 1472 | $7 |
| 6-3-0 | Boston Barflies | 1408 | $0 |
| 6-3-0 | Atlanta Hotwings | 1352 | $2 |
| 4-5-0 | Vegas Pocket Kings | 1278 | $13 |
| 4-5-0 | Philly Powderkegs | 1278 | $1 |

| 2-7-0 | Texas Y’allers | 1229 | $1 |
| 2-7-0 | Seattle Haze | 1211 | $38 |
After holding a stranglehold on the league for the first seven weeks, the Atlanta Hot Wings now find themselves in a five-way tie for first place, as the league has all of a sudden become ultra-close, with five of the six playoff teams holding the same record. Looking towards Week 10, teams are vying for separation in the standings.
Week 10 Overview – Hall of Fantasy League
Looking at the league as a whole, below is a preview of week 10’s matchups in the league.
With so much stake on the line, every week counts. Will teams make a statement and separate themselves, or will they sink in Week 10 and make it even harder to climb out of the hole at the bottom of the standings.
