For the second time in five weeks, Major owns the week. Major posted a 423 thanks to a lineup led by Mahomes, Watson, Kamara, M. Davis, Gaskins, Hopkins, Lamb, Kelce, Fairbairn and the Rams D.
Jessica had her best week of the young season, posting a 414, thanks to a roster featuring Wilson, Watson, Kamara, Gurley, Gaskins, Hopkins, Kelce, Fairbairn and the Ravens D.
This is Major‘s second weekly win in three weeks, and Jessica‘s first payday since Week 1 of 2018. Congrats to Major and Jessica on the strong Week 5 showing.
Honorable mention to Mr. Eames, who scored a 402, and still didn’t sniff the money. Kind of like his NY Yankees this postseason.
Mr. Smith Is Back in Washington
For those of you from Utah (and those of you who are Utes, 49ers, Chiefs or Washington Football Team fans) it was great to see Alex Smith take the field Sunday, almost two years after he suffered a gruesome injury that nearly cost him his leg.
Welcome back.

Housekeeping:
We have 29 owners so far. If you know someone who might like to play, it’s not too late to invite them, and with 30 owners we would add one more pay out spot.
Thanks to everyone who has sent payment already. I’m waiting on payment from four owners. $30 covers your initial lineup and first 50 trades.
