MILE HIGH FANTASY CLUB

HEADLINE

James Averaged 160 Points and Still Needed 3.72 to Survive

THE SEASON THAT WAS

The 2025 Mile High Fantasy Club season announced itself early and never apologized. Week 1 alone featured two blowouts, including James hanging 167.62 on Ryan to stake his claim before anyone had even figured out their waiver wire password. By the time Week 4 rolled around, James had already posted back-to-back scores above 197, and it was starting to feel less like a fantasy season and more like a personal vendetta against the rest of the league. But the middle stretch is where things got genuinely unhinged. Jenkins erupted for the season's highest score — 209.80 in Week 15 — and then turned around and put up 96.74 in Week 10 and 100.06 in Week 11, a 113-point swing that should require a notarized explanation. Brian averaged 148.19 points per game and finished 7-9, which isn't bad luck, that's a scheduling crime scene. Devon quietly went 12-4, scored 2,362 points, and built the kind of resume that looked like a championship — right up until the final whistle.

The playoff picture tightened in ways that made the regular season chaos feel like prologue. Week 16's semifinal between Jenkins and James was decided by 0.62 points — Jenkins had just dropped 209.80 the week before and put up 183.96, and it still wasn't enough. Devon dismantled Justin 150.64 to 129.22 to punch his ticket to the final. And then Week 17 — the Championship — came down to James 180.12, Devon 176.40, a margin of 3.72 points. Devon scored 31% above the league average in the championship game and lost. That's not a defeat, that's a tragedy set to highlight reel music.

The rest of the league had its own stories worth telling, most of them painful. Blake finished 3-13 on an 11-game losing streak that outlasted most people's playoff hopes and several people's will to check the app. Cameron's season-high was 147.50 — a number that six other teams hit on a random Tuesday in October. Tolby went 4-13 but at least owns the season low of 63.80 in Week 11, a score so catastrophically below the 134.88 league average that it deserves its own moment of silence. Ryan went 8-9 and then put up 151.74 in Week 17 to blow out Cameron by 59 points in a game that meant absolutely nothing, which is very on-brand.

CHAMPION'S CROWN

James ran a 12-4 regular season at 160.81 points per game — the highest scoring average in the league by a margin that wasn't close — and posted a season total of 2,573.04, more than 74 points clear of the next-best record holder. His signature moment came in Week 2 when he dropped 198.54 on Jenkins, 47% above the league average, setting a tone he maintained for 17 weeks straight. When Devon came at him with 176.40 in the championship and it still wasn't enough to close a 3.72-point gap, it confirmed what the numbers had been saying all season: James wasn't just the best team, he was the standard everyone else was measured against.

SEE YOU NEXT SEASON

James takes the trophy, Devon takes the offseason, and Brian takes the most painful stat in the league — 148.19 points per game, 7-9, gone. Somewhere right now Blake is staring at a 3-13 record and an 11-game skid and telling himself next year is different, and honestly, it has to be — physics won't allow it to be the same. The 2026 season will have new rosters, new schedules, new reasons to panic on a Sunday afternoon, and one throne that James just proved is absolutely worth fighting for.
