Mike, a two-time league champion, broke free of the pack by fielding a Week 4 roster with players the rest of us passed over, including Hurts, Heinicke, Ekeler, C. Patterson, Chase, McLaughlin and the Bills D to post a 399.

How many of you seriously considered playing those QBs and RBs in Week 4?
Just for perspective, 25 of us played Mahomes (17) or Allen (8) in Box A, Cousins (19) or Carr (6) in Box B, and 30 of us were on Henry (22) or Kamara (8) in Box C. Among the wideouts, 17 of us played Adams and 19 played Kupp. Sounds like it’s time for a new play list.

Trent was the runner up, thanks to a lineup featuring Mahomes, D. Jones, Henry, K. Hunt, M. Brown, McLaughlin and the Bills D to score a 388 and win his second pay day of the young season.

It’s Mike’s first weekly win since Week 16 of last year, and Trent’s second pay day in as many weeks. Congrats to Mike and Trent on the strong Week 4 showing.

Honorable mention to Kel&Karen and SteveB, who both topped 380 points this week.
