This weekend, the Fantasy Football Open Championship will send its top 15 title contenders to Las Vegas for the second year in a row to see how the final week plays out. On the line, of course, $1 million — just like Shane Schroeder won last season.

But wait, who’s that in sixth place and making his way to Vegas on someone else’s dime? Yep, it’s none other than our own Jeff Thomas.

I guess the guy does know what he’s talking about after all with this fantasy stuff.

Good luck to all competing for the seven-figure payout (and the chance to finally replace that photo of Schroeder on the FFOC homepage).

Of course, I’ll be rooting for the guy who signs my paychecks.
