Heather Holds off Rookie to Win Week 10

When she sent in her picks this week, Heather wrote, “I’m not on form this year for sure.” But in Week 10, she got the second half of the season off to a great start, boasting the only team with 400+ points.

Heather‘s squad was led by G. Smith, McCaffery, B. Robinson, Chase, Aiyuk, Metcalf, McBride, Myers, and the Cowboys D enroute to a 405.

After 10 weeks, one of our rookie owners finally hits pay dirt. Ryan scored a 392, thanks to a lineup featuring G. Smith, Kamara, J. Cook, Foreman, Lamb, Aiyuk, Boyd, Hockenson, Santos and the Cowboys D.

This is the first weekly win for Heather, since Week 17 of the 2020 season, and the first pay day for Ryan ever. Congrats to both on their strong showings in Week 10.
