Let’s give a round of applause for the member who’s been cooking the beans every week. Those beans hit the spot on Sunday and were enough for ejmesa to place for the first time this season with the only lineup to include Tyrod Taylor or Jaxon Smith-Njigba who combined for......
Congratulations to g_mendoza for the first win of their season. Drafting Vikings, this week’s Sleeper, helped to separate from the rest of the pack, including me in second place. rahianr earned the third spot and their first win in the league, welcome! Both second and third place lineups pinned their......
When you draft two players who go off for more than 100 fpts combined, you’re probably going to do pretty well. pshhidk did really well and scored 217.46 fpts, the highest score the league has ever seen, beating the previous record of 213.84 fpts set in 2019 Week 9 by......
Congratulations to JekellP on finishing in first place for a second time, already. Three ❄️ players? No problem! Three 🔥 players including Brandon Aiyuk, Nico Collins and Terry McLaurin balanced that out and helped JekellP accumulate 163.46 fpts for the win in Week 4. DarbyDiaz3, another team with two of......
Congratulations to one of our new members, itsmeyo, for taking the top spot this week, thanks in part to being the only team with Keenan Allen - WR1 on the week with disgusting numbers that would typically earn a player #1 overall, but not this week. MattyDel14 came in second......
Sorry for the delayed results post, but you know - life. Anyway, that was a crazy week and overall we had much higher scores this week compared to last. Leading it all was JekellP with 187.54 fpts thanks to WR3 Mike Evans who was unique to this lineup. Hunter Henry......
Well, that was a decent week of football to kick off the 2023 NFL and Platanofb season. I took the win this week thanks to Tyreek Hill and Austin Ekler, but I was sweating it out as hlimardo had James Cook playing last night. JekyllP was also in the running......
HOT DAMN! It’s a new day!!! More like a new season, but whatever, it works. Welcome back everyone! I’m glad you’re here and have decided to suffer through another grueling, fun season of fantasy football with your fellow platanos. Yesterday, August 1st, I sent out text messages to looking for......
Sorry for the delay, but the season is officially over. The NFL called Week 17’s Bills v Bengals game a no contest and we will count the points as displayed on Draft Kings. Sometimes unexpected things happen in fantasy football and you just have to shrug it off. Congrats to......
I went to sleep thinking that I had won this week, patted myself on the back and even bragged to my wife who gave me smile and a nod to shut me up. And today I woke up excited to write this post and humbly accept another win, only to......
Congratulations to this week’s winners, all returning for a second or sixth (😳) time. Yea, SIX TIMES. JekellP has racked up $144 (🥇: 3, 🥈: 3) in winnings this year and there are still two weeks left. Dash7 and rogdiaz have each placed first and second once this season. This......
Congratulations to MattyDel14 for placing for the first time in his first season of Platanofb! JekellP and arianna29 each made their fifth and sixth(!!) appearances in the top after placing first and third, respectively, in Week 13. The trio of Tony Pollard (24.6 fpts $6,500), Garrett Wilson (27.2 fpts $5,300)......
Congratulations to a new winner: BrunoDiaz! Everyone was wondering which players were remaining in that lineup and probably got worried when they saw Jonathan Taylor (18.8 fpts $7,900). Along with the help of Pat Freiermuth (6.9 fpts $4,000), they added enough points to put BrunoDiaz ahead of geedee3 for first......
Welp, I figured it would happen at some point and I guess that point was yesterday. DraftKings was hacked and as a result they bolstered their security and broke the code that I was using to generate the stuff you’ve been seeing in these posts like weekly winners, MVP, Sleeper,......
Congratulations to rogdiaz and arianna29 for placing first and second in Week 9. Neither member had any unique picks, but look at me (climardo) in third place and you will see that unique players aren’t always great nor necessary to get a W. Even without him in my lineup, I......
We’re almost half way through the season now and two-thirds (12 of 19) of the members have placed in the top three at least once. Congrats this week to Jekell P and DarbyDiaz3 for placing second and third, respectively. Jekell P was the only member to make the excellent decision......
Week 7 brought us a bunch of high scoring players and return to the top 3 for jlopez0809 (2x), geedee3 (2x) and glopez28 (4x!!!). At this point, glopez28 has won more than lost. Maybe I’ll stop sending reminders to submit lineups to give others a chance. A common draft pick......
Commisisoner Maduro has arrived! Alright, enough about me. Congratulations to this week’s other winners: DarbyDiaz3 and glopez28, a couple of frequent visitors to the league’s top three. The Josh Allen (30.36 fpts $8,200) and Stefon Diggs (33,8 fpts $8,400) stack paid off this week, but Joe Burrow (35.5 fpts $6,700)......
With 196.32 fpts, hlimardo won by more than 50 fpts! Congratulations to you, glopez28 and ejmesa, the newest members to join this season’s winner’s circle. hlimardo put together quite a lineup by stacking some cheaper options from the #1 offense Lions who really paid off including Jared Goff (37.22 fpts......
A pretty good week of matchups in the NFL resulted in some new members joining the winner’s circle this week as JekellP has a repeat, top performance - congratulations! jlopez0809 was short 6.19 fpts, and although the lineup had more 🔥 players, it also had more ❄️ players too, including......
Well, damn. Six players scored over 40 fpts this week and half of them were under $7,000. JekellP finished in first, g_mendoza repeated for second place and one of our new members, luisdello came in third. Every one of these members drafted one 40+ fpt player and JekellP claimed the......
Fall is in the air and that means it’s time for football! Welcome back to Platanofb and congratulations to arianna29 for crushing it to kickoff the season! arianna29 was the only member to draft Ja’Marr Chase (31.9 fpts $7,100) and Dolphins DST (18 fpts $2,600), 2 of 5 🔥 players......
Welcome back to another season of fantasy football! I hope 2022 will be fun and we can spread the wins out more than we did last year. I have reahced out to all members from years past to figure out how many members we will have for the 2022 season.......
Congratulations to glopez28 for being the last winner of the season. You beat hlimardo by exactly 1 fpt. 11 more combined yards would have made the difference, or even just a reception for positive yardage. Oh well, maybe next season. ejmesa also went back to back in the third position......
Congratulations to this week’s winners. All of this week’s winners have only appeared at the top of the leaderboard once earlier this season, in weeks 11, 4 and 9, respectively. Good to see newish names up here, but not as good as seeing brand new names. Next week is the......
This week’s update is brought to you by geedee3. I got lazier than usual this week and my app isn’t working to pull the data for all of the stats. When you win, you get to say whatever you want, so here it goes!
...
You know what probably feels awesome? Getting first place in this league. Or doing it twice in one season. Or placing in the top 3 five or more times. And both arianna29 and Dash7 have accomplished that - congratulations! The cherry on top - arianna29 had 🔥 on all but......
Congratulations to the winners of week 13: JekellP, Dash7 and arianna29. None are strangers to the top of the leaderboard - arianna29 has now placed in 4 of the last 5 contests, Dash7 has placed 5 times this season and this was JekellP’s second time winning 1st place. I include......
Congratulations to XplicitK for the fifth time this season. He took first place for the second time in 2021 ahead of hlimardo and jlopez0809 who both placed for their first times this season. Kadarius Toney didn’t care how hard hlimardo was cheering for some fantasy-point-producing plays or even minor injuries......
If at first you get second place, come back next week and get first. That’s what arianna29 did, as she took won while likely sweating XplicitK’s late come back with Darrel Williams on Sunday night and then Tyler Higbee on Monday night who dropped too many, very catchable passes. I’m......
Welcome to the second half of this year’s fantasy football season. And congratulations to a new cast of winners, starting with geedee3. Ending Sunday down 8.06 fpts with just Najee Harris (16.8 fpts $7,800) left to play, it seemed like a lock and it was. Better luck next time to......
Congratulations to glopez28 for infiltrating the top 3. Beside olivadotij who took first place last week, you are the first new winner since Week 4. Thanks for letting us see some new names up here. I guess the rest of us are just not so great at this daily fantasy......
Congratulations to olivadotij for taking home first place after a Sunday night rally thanks to Michael Pittman Jr. (23.5 fpts $5,100) who put up his best numbers of the season with only 4 targets. LoLoGREEN and ejmesa, always the bridesmaids and never the bride, finished second and third, respectively for......
Congratulations to Dash7 for winning Week 6. This is the second first-place win of the 2021 season for Dash7, both times scoring over 190 fpts. Very impressive and almost every player in the lineup was also drafted by another member. rogdiaz, who took second place, also stacked Matthew Stafford (26.24......
What a close one! XplicitK took and held onto first place in the final minutes of Week 5 thanks to Marquise (Hollywood) Brown (36.5 fpts $5,800) outscoring LoLoGREEN by 0.76 fpts and ejmesa by 2.08 fpts. And ejmesa could have easily snuck into first place with the way Mark Andrews......
Congratulations g_mendoza for crushing everyone this week. There was no doubt that the win was in the bag by the time RedZone ended. On the other hand, XplicitK made a late comeback with the remaining games as Mike Evans (14.5 fpts $6,500) came through to push him into second place......
Congratulations to rogdiaz for taking first place this week with a strong performance from unique picks like Kirk Cousins (28.12 fpts $6,300) and Christian Kirk (20.4 fpts $5,400). However, it wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns as rogdiaz made the same mistake that one third of the league made and drafted......
♪ Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
But nothing comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch of gibberish
And all of fantasy acts like they forgot about Jones ♪

Welcome back to teh best time of the year! Week 1 of the 2021 season is officiallyl in the books. Congratulations to JekellP for taking first place by drafting the two highest-scoring players, including this week’s MVP - Amari Cooper(41.9 fpts $5,900) and Tyreek Hill (40.1 fpts $8,200). ejmesa and......
It’s a wrap, folks! Sorry for the late post, but I’ve been enjoying some slow days at work by helping out more around the house which left little to no time to do this. Anyway, I’m sure you don’t want to read about how the winners this week all drafted......
He won the second contest of the season and now he won the second-to-last one, too: LoLoGREEN. And nobody was even close to the 194.94 fpts performance, only DarbyDiaz3 scored more this season (actually just last week) at 200.68 fpts. XplicitK came in second, followed by hlimardo. Each of these......
It’s happening! Everyone who had not placed in the top 3 so far is starting to break through. olivadotij is your Week 14 winner and this is his first win! He dominated with a margin of over 22 fpts over second place JekellP, who placed in back-to-back weeks. And jlopez0809......
Congratulations to this week’s winner for the fourth time this season: DarbyDiaz3. This is also the seventh time DarbyDiaz3 has placed. A lot of haters are calling him a cheater, but I haven’t been shown any evidence of that and with recent changes to contests for the past few weeks......
Welcome to the final month of the NFL regular season. You may now be entering the playoffs of your traditional fantasy football leagues, but it’s just business as usual for Platanofb.com. Keep submitting your lineups and trying to outscore the rest of the league members.
...
Congratulations to Dash7 for his Week 11 victory that came in the final quarter of Monday night’s game. Dash7’s lineup contained some unique picks like Derek Carr (22.6 fpts $5,300) and Adam Thielen which helped him score a total of 173.86 fpts. arianna29 was leading when all of Sunday’s games......
Congratulations to pshhidk for climbing back to the top for the first time since 2019 Week 6. He made some unique, solid choices that propelled him to a dominating 165.98 fpts in Week 10, like this week’s Sleeper, Cole Beasley (30.9 fpts $4,700), Diontae Johnson (26.6 fpts 5,200) and Nyheim......
First, I apologize for the late post. Next, let me address the confusion over the Week 9 contest. As the commissioner of the league, there are options that allow me to limit who can invite others to join our league and in our league I am the only member who......
This week, g_mendoza placed again and took first place for the first time this season. Congratulations! And in second was pshhidk who has averaged fifteenth place before Week 8. Good job, good effort! The final result really came down to the end there with players like Tom Brady (19.06 ftps......
Remember frank.corn? Yes, he’s still a member of the league and this week he reminded us of that by taking first place by a comfortable margin of more than 28 fpts. Also, welcome g_mendoza to the league and the leaderboard. And wedged between them in second place, for the third......
Well, well, well. How the turn tables. XplicitK finally gets the number one spot and this time he’s the one beating the competition, arianna29 by exactly 1 fpt! And a staple of the top three, rogdiaz, sticks around for another week. Congratulations!
...
Congratulations rogdiaz for snatching another win in consecutive weeks with an even smaller margin of 0.8 fpts! Sorry and congrats to XplicitK for placing second, you just missed it.
...
After some changes due to COVID-19 and DraftKings decision to exclude KC and NE players, we conclude another week of daily fantasy football. This week’s winner: rogdiaz is no stranger to the winner’s circle and snatched first place from XplicitK by less than 2 points. And, making sure people remember......
DarbyDiaz3 continues his reign over the league with his second 1st place win of the season. With no unique picks, he is lineup contained 3 players scoring over 30 fpts, including this week’s MVP: Alvin Kamara (47.70 fpts $7,900). Those points came late Sunday night as he waited for his......
Congratulations to LoLoGREEN on his first place win, beating DarbyDiaz3 by just 0.4 fpts! LoLoGREEN won thanks to the contributions of Dak Prescott (43.80 fpts $6,800) and Calvin Ridley (32.90 fpts $6,800), and he was the only person to draft Tyler Higbee (28.40 fpts $4,700) - a masterful pick at......
It feels so good to finally be back. Week 1 is now officially in the books. Everyone in the league scored over 100 fpts, and 6 members scored above the average of 122.6 fpts - good job, everyone!
