Fantasy: Week 20 positional rankings

Schuyler Redpath

Reid and Blayne are joined by special guest Tim Shaw as Mike makes his way back from painting New York Blue. The guys open the show with a recap of some of the biggest fantasy moments from Round 19 but soon switch their conversation to several of the new signings who recently became available in the game. They review which double-game week teams are worth getting four player from and they have a spirited discussion about several of the single-game week options. They wrap everything up whit player picks and Lilly’s first captain choice! Check it all out before games stat on Wednesday!

With just two weeks to go in the Spring season Week 20 gives us another chance to double up on points through players who play twice. New York City FC, Chicago Fire and Montreal Impact each play two games this round, and with that in mind here are the top players at each position this week.

Start playing!
