  • Jherm as the champion seems to have way over performed his team ADP in terms of median and mean
  • Katz has a large difference in median and mean, likely because he rostered high upside players at end of the season when he didn’t make the playoffs
  • EJ finished outside of the playoffs, but had one of the strongest teams
  • Adam has the worst team in terms of mean and median
  • Kenny performed substantially worse than his ADP would indicate
  • Josh appears to have the best team
