The WATD Fantasy Draft is back! Week 8 is here, and with the playoff push officially ON, it’s time for the boys to get their squads in order.
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 7 Draft Results
While the final scores are not entirely completed, it was another tightly contested week.
Brendan’s Squad holds the current lead, thanks in large part to a 25.6 point effort from sophomore quarterback Michael Wildfire (Cohasset). Wildfire, appropriately, lit it up, throwing for 207 yards and 2 TDs and rushing for an additional score.
Nathan Ehui (Milton; Quinn’s Squad) was also among the top scorers, and is currently the top running back of the week with 11.1 points on a 14 carry, 99 yard day.
