Every week when I send out our weekly lineups, I hope it might be necessary to validate that I really won the week. After a six-season drought, it finally proved relevant.
I scored a 443, thanks to a lineup led by Mahomes, Herbert, Henry, J. Williams, Metcalf, K. Allen, Fulgham, Kelce, Santos and the Chiefs D.
Major continues to be the epitome of consistency this season, putting up 418 points to take second, with a roster featuring Mahomes, Herbert, Kamara, Williams, Adams, K. Allen, Higgins, Kelce and Santos.
This is my first weekly win since Week 12 of the 2014 season, and Major‘s third pay day of this season, and fourth week he scored 400+ points. Talk about consistency. Congrats to Major on another strong showing.
Honorable mention to the brothers Trent (407) and CraigW (406) who both scored north of 400, and earned bragging rights over their dad Tom (340).
And kudos to JohnS (366), who bested both his mom (Kerry (358)) and dad (David(344)) to earn bragging rights in the house this week. Youth was served in Week 8.
The Leaderboard:
Another week and another reshuffling of the leaderboard. Andrew held on to the top spot, but Major is fast on his heels.
Andrew (1796)

Week 8: Results/Tally/Teams
Housekeeping:
We have 29 owners so far. If we had one more owner we’ll have 30 owners and we could add one more pay out spot.
Thanks to everyone who has sent payment already. I’m waiting on payment from one owner. $30 covers your initial lineup and first 50 trades.
Looking Ahead:
That’s it for Week 8.
Please double check my work and let me know if you see any scoring errors.
Believe it or not, next week is the final week of the current playlist.
Week 9 kicks off Thursday night with Green Bay at San Francisco.
Bye Week: Cincinnati/Cleveland/LA Rams/Philadelphia
Stay safe and well.
Good luck to all in Week 9.
