Week 4 is upon us, and that means it’s time for another WATD High School Football Fantasy Draft!
We’ll continue selecting one quarterback, two running backs, and two wide receivers, and this year we’ve added one team defense.

In a bit of friendly competition, we’ll see whose squad wins out each week.
Statistics will be used to calculate points on a modified fantasy scale, with touchdowns worth six points, quarterbacks receiving one point per 25 yards passed, and every 10 yards rushing or receiving earning one point as well.
Defensively, points will be strictly based on how many points a team surrenders. A shutout earns 10 points, while 1 to 6 points allowed earns 8, 7 to 13 earns 6, 14 to 20 earns 4, 21 to 27 earns 2, 28 to 34 earns 1, and 35+ does not earn any.
Week 3 Draft Results
After back to back wins for Quinn’s Squad to start the season, Brendan got one on the board last week behind a strong performance from the top of his draft board.
Luke Dunham (Hull) paced Brendan’s Squad with top-performer honors and top quarterback honors with his 31.8 points. While he was a perfect 4/4 for 64 yards through the air, it was his 112 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground that bolstered the point total.
Hanover continued to be a go-to for big games, with two players in the draft on the top-performers marquee.
John McDonald (Hanover; Quinn’s Squad) led all receivers despite not registering a receiving touchdown. His all-phases stat line, complete with 51 receiving yards, a rushing touchdown, five extra points, and two interceptions on defense, was good enough for 20.5 points.
The top running back of the week is a toss-up with one missing final line.
Vinny Mancini (Hanover; Brendan’s Squad) justified his number one overall selection with a two touchdown, 105 rushing yard day; good for 22.5 points. Though we don’t have his final yardage, Jacob Bierenbroodspot (BC High; Johnny’s Squad) scored three touchdowns on the ground, making it too close a race to call for top running back honors.
