2024 Fantasy football

We’ve also included how many games each player appeared in, which was taken into consideration along with the value of their position and statistical output. Most fantasy football leagues crowned their champions in Week 17, with several participants rejoicing in glory while some experienced utter disappointment. ADVERTISEMENTLet’s take a look:
But which players were on those championship-winning teams? Which players carried most fantasy owners throughout the 2024 season? And it would have been great to know which players would sustain long-term injuries, right?recommendedFOX Sports Research conducted a re-draft of the first five rounds, assuming a standard 12-person league— giving each players average points per game from both a half and full point per reception (PPR) standpoint. The NFL regular season is nearly in the books, with just one game left to play before the playoffs begin.

Lednicky Signs Professional Contract with LOVB Houston – Texas A&M Athletics
Staying in the Lone Star State, Lednicky joins the Houston based LOVB team after spearheading the Aggies to the program’s first national title. The opposite hitter etched her name in Texas A&M history, as she broke the program rally-scoring record for career kills concluding her four years with 1,686.
“I’m so excited for Logan [Lednicky] to start her professional career,” head coach Jamie Morrison said. “Since taking over this program, it’s been our goal to help set up out athletes for the next step after college and seeing it come to fruition is incredible. Logan has developed every year she has been at Texas A&M and has all the skills necessary to succeed at the next level.”
The Sugar Land, Texas, native developed a well-rounded game throughout her four years but offensively is where she excelled. She recorded double-digit kills in 94 matches during her career, including 23 straight to conclude the 2025 campaign which led to a national crown.
Lednicky showed her versatility during her time in Aggieland, racking up 379 blocks which ranks 11th in program history and secured back-to-back 100-block seasons in her junior and senior campaigns. She also tacked on 808 digs which helped account for 28 career double-doubles.
Cementing herself as an all-time great for the program, she received a pair of AVCA Second Team All-America honors, was a four-time All-SEC and All-Region selection, AVCA Player of the Year Semifinalist, NCAA Tournament Team recipient, NCAA Regional Most Outstanding Player and five-time SEC weekly award winner.
The pin hitter got her international career started this past summer, as she received her first senior-national team call up for the United States and was named to the Volleyball Nation’s League roster for the opening two weeks in Brazil and Serbia. She competed in seven of the eight matches over the two weeks, tallying 43 points on 38 kills and five blocks, while adding 26 digs.

Syann Fairfield, 22, becomes new Reeths-Puffer varsity volleyball coach | White Lake Beacon
MUSKEGON TWP. — Syann Fairfield recently got her elementary education degree from Ferris State University.
Now at age 22, Fairfield is now the new Reeths-Puffer varsity head volleyball coach.
But despite her age, her volleyball background is strong.
As a three-year starter at Ferris State, Fairfield helped the Bulldogs win two regular season championships and two conference tournament championships in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Conference (GLIAC).
About hiring Fairfield, Rockets Athletic Director Cliff Sandee said, “Syann has been successful in every aspect of life, as a standout student-athlete at North Muskegon and Ferris State.”
“More impressively, she has routinely made people around her more successful,” Sandee also said.
“Her playing experience at Ferris State and her coaching experience at Inside Out and at Muskegon Community College has prepared Syann to lead right away,” Sandee continued to say.
Sandee said, “She will develop champions in all areas of life.
As a young first-time varsity coach, Fairfield is eager to take on a team that’s going to have a lot of very young talent.
Her predecessor, Justin Birr, resigned in the fall at the end of last season.
Fairfield said that parents and other coaches in the area asked her to apply for the Rockets job when it got posted, and that she decided to do it.
Fairfield also said that she was also seeking to gain experience of interviewing for a high school coaching job.
But as she learned more about Reeths-Puffer and its volleyball program, she became more excited about the job and was thrilled when she got the job.
“I figured, why not,” Fairfield said. “Let’s go through the process and get the feel of things.”
“But the more I talked to people and learned about the school, it just seemed like the place to be,” Fairfield said.
Fairfield also said, “I work hard and go all-in on everything I do, and I am ready to tackle it!”
“I know it’s not common for people to take a chance on someone who just graduated a few weeks ago from college, but I think they could see my passion and what my goals would be for the program for the next few years,” Fairfield said.
She stood out as a four-year player on North Muskegon’s volleyball team and graduated in 2021.
She attained all-state honors in her sophomore, junior and senior years, helping North Muskegon win two district championships and one conference title.
In 2021, she helped North Muskegon win a state championship in girls soccer in 2021, showing that she had talents in more than one sport.

ADM’s Coghlan Shares Advice For Younger Girls Taking Over Volleyball Program | Raccoon Valley Radio

Adel-DeSoto-Minburn senior Elise Coghlan recently played in her final volleyball season of her high school career, hitting many achievements, but is leaving an encouraging message for the younger girls who will be carrying the program from here on out.
Coghlan is leaving a legacy behind for Tigers volleyball, as she is now sixth all-time in school history with 601 Assists in a season, and has a total of 1,273 assists over her four-year career. In addition, Coghlan concluded the season with 57 kills, 181 digs, and 32 blocks. As she’ll be graduating in the spring, Coghlan wants to remind the girls to never forget who they are.
“Just being yourself and showing your actual personality, and just being friends with everyone honestly.”
ADM finished the season with a 23-9 overall record (7-1; 2nd inside the Raccoon River Conference) and fell to Dallas Center-Grimes in the Class 4A Region 4 Championship on October 28th.
