According to RandyH, he was just playing a hunch when he wrote-in Jauan Jennings in Box I. Some hunch.
RandyH posted the highest score of the young season, with a 437, thanks to a lineup featuring J. Allen, G. Smith, Kamara, Charbonnet, Chase, Metcalf, Jennings, Kincaid, and Aubrey.
Taking second place with a 372 is one of our rookie owners: Beth. Her lineup was led by J. Allen, Goff, Barkley, Charbonnet, Jefferson, Godwin, McLaurin and Aubrey.
This is Randy‘s first weekly win since Week 17 of the 2022 campaign, and Beth‘s first pay day ever in only her third week in the league. Congratulations to RandyH and Beth on their strong Week 3 performance.
Honorable mention to Ravi (351), last week’s winner, who would appear to be on track to debut near the top of the standings next week.
The Rookie Report:
In week 3, Beth (372) earned bragging rights among the newbies, and the first pay day among our rookie owners on the young season. Congrats Beth on a strong week.
