Veteran owner Heather was already over 400 points going into Monday night, so no surprise the Saints D only padded her lead. In the end, Heather scored a season-best 425 thanks to a lineup led by Mahomes, G. Smith, McCaffery, J. Cook, B. Robinson, Metcalf, Evans, Nacua, Tucker and the Saints D.
CarlP survived watching his Steelers win a wild one on Monday night to claim second place with a 378, thanks to a roster featuring Mahomes, Goff, McCaffery, Mostert, K. Allen, Evans, Tucker and the Cowboys D.
It was a strong showing for Weber State Wildcats in fantasy football, as third place went to yet another WSU colleague, Ravi (372).
This is Heather‘s first weekly win since Week 17 of 2020, and CarlP’s first pay day since Week 7 of last season. Congrats to Heather and CarlP on their strong Week 2 showings.

The Week 1 hero turned Week 2 goat as he failed to amass enough stats to overcome the Jets loss to the Cowboys. His running mate, Dalvin Cook, only posted one point better, with a zero.
