Month: December 2023

As the Christmas holiday wrapped up, TroyA may have wrapped up another league championship. TroyA scored a 396, thanks to a lineup led by J. Allen, Mahomes, McCaffery, Hall, A. Jones, Jefferson, Higgins and A. Carlson.

Chris posted a 378 to take second, thanks to a roster featuring Love, Mahomes, McCaffery, Elliott, St. Brown, Metcalf, Shaheed, Sanders and the Browns D.

This is the first weekly win for TroyA, since Week 18 of last season, and the first pay day for Chris, since Week 15 of 2018. Congrats to both on their strong showings in Week 16.

Luc opted not to make any moves in Week 13, and while he had zero points from his kicker (Tucker) he was still able to best the field with a 394. His winning lineup was led by Prescott, G. Smith, McCaffery, Pollard, Lamb, Samuel, Metcalf and Kelce.

Runner up was TroyA, who posted a 375 thanks to a roster featuring Tagovailoa, McCaffery, Pollard, Spears, Hill, Pittman, Kelce, Aubrey and the Falcons D.

TroyA jumps two spots, Eric holds serve and David tumbles to third, while well within striking distance of reclaiming the lead. CraigS edges past Trent, Jack climbs into sixth and Major hangs on to seventh.

A lot to be sorted out over the final five weeks of the regular season.
