Congratulations to Eric Heberlig for winning the Primetime contest and taking home its $100,000 grand prize. Eric just missed having two teams in the Top 10 as another of his Primetime teams finished 11th overall. He also had a third team finish 16th in the overall standings. Three Top 20 teams in one national contest. That's a terrific season, Eric.

This is Eric’s second national contest championship in as many years. He won the RotoWire Online Championship last season.

The Top 10 overall finishers all win prize money in this contest. Congratulations to everyone on the list below.

Well done Eric. Three teams in the top 16 against this level of competition is very, very impressive.

CONGRATS to Eric Heberlig of New Cumberland, Pennsylvania for winning this $100,000 grand prize. Eric had two teams in the Top 11 and three teams in the Top 16 of the NFBC Primetime. Impressive season once again. Remember, Eric won the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship last year and that $70,000 grand prize and he finished 2nd in the NFBC Primetime in 2013, so he's quickly become the king of the 12-team format. Very impressive performance.

Great job, Eric. Following up last years 2nd overall to winning it all this year is quite the feat. Hope to see you in Vegas next year.

Congrats Eric. Looking up at you all second half and couldn't make a run, you were too strong. Great season and OA's back to back years, amazing.

Eric will be joining us on the STATS Fantasy Advantage tonight at 10:15 pm ET. We look forward to talking with Eric, who won the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship and finished 2nd in the NFBC Primetime before winning this year's NFBC Primetime. Join us on SiriusXM 210/87 tonight from 10 pm ET to midnight ET.
