In fantasy football, too often we lament on misses and draft day mistakes. The Vanguard by Veridian founders @itsharristime & @Masterjune70 is to celebrate "our guys" that are absolutely smashing it and leading the fantasy football charge from the previous week. Sometimes you just need to celebrate being awesome.
Veridian Vanguard: Crushing Fantasy Football in Week 12
Quarterback:
Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
How can the premiere of the VV (Veridian Vanguard) not include Patrick Mahomes legendary Week 12 performance? Mahomes unlocked the fantasy football Cheet(ah) Code in Tyreek Hill who put up the 3rd highest scoring fantasy performance of ALL TIME.
Mahomes threw for 462 Yds and 3 TD, rushed for 28 and ended the night with 31.28 PPR. The reigning Super Bowl MVP is leading the charge to take the mantle as the QB GOAT. Or has it already happened? Check out the GOAT gear here.
Running Back
Antonio Gibson, Washington Football Team
Can we just end the debate? Antonio Gibson is good. Not just good, potentially great. What the rookie RB has been able to do with less than a 50% snap share has been incredible. Looking at Gibson's Redzone efficiency (29 touches, 11 TDs), his upside is huge. Gibby flashed his ceiling against the Cowboys rushing for 115 YDs and 3 TDs while also tapping into 21 receiving yards. Wowzers. That was good for the RB2 performance of the week with 36.60 PPR, just getting edged out by King Henry's 38.50 f/pts.
Wide Receiver
Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs
Stop it. We don't need anymore track meets or on the field showdowns to prove who is the fastest in the NFL. It doesn't matter because there is NO ONE that combines skill and speed like Tyreek Hill, the wide receiver CHEET(ah) Code.
Tyreek lit up a pretty good Tampa Bay secondary with a jaw dropping stat-line of 13 receptions, 269 Rec/Yds and 3 TDs. This made him the WR1 on the week with 57.90 f/pts and was the 3rd best fantasy football performance of ALL TIME.
Tyreek is the ultimate fantasy football cheat code. Get all of your KC gear here.
