USA Today’s Steve Gardner is in a three-way race for first in Tout Mixed, with Charlie Wiegert and Andy Behrens. Yesterday he posted about it in his blog:
Down to the wire in Tout Wars
The final week of the regular season is finally here. For fantasy owners, it’s a good thing that several teams are still fighting for playoff berths because it means there will be fewer key players sitting on the bench and more fantasy league titles settled on the field.
The Tout Wars mixed league looks like it won’t be decided until the final day — with the top three teams separated by just 1.5 points with one week to go.

It’s been a great season for all three of us, with Andy Behrens jumping out to a huge lead and holding it for most of the season until injuries began to take their toll.
Unfortunately for me, I’ve pretty much maxed out my points in each category, with the possible exception of a half point in steals. If I’m going to win, I’m going to have to depend on some of the other teams to overtake Andy and Charlie Wiegert in a couple categories.
