DaveT often jokes when he sends his team that he is relying on AI to help him field a winning lineup. This week the artificial intelligence delivered a 382, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Stroud, B. Robinson, A. Jones, Kamara, Lamb, Higgins, Bowers, and Aubrey.
Runner up in Week 4 was Beth, who rallied on Monday Night to enter the money spot with a 380, thanks to a roster featuring Jackson, Shough, B. Robinson, J. Williams, Hubbard, Samuel, Smith-Njigba, Higgins, Bowers, Loop and the Vikings D.
This is DaveT‘s first win since Week 13 of the 2021 season and Beth‘s first payday since Week 13 of last year. Congrats to both for their strong showing this week.
Rookie Report:
StaceyK earned bragging rights among our trio of rookie owners, scoring a 326 to surpass GregK and Tao. She goes up (2-0) while Greg and Tao have one win each.
The Leaderboard:
With another 14 weeks to play, it is anyone’s season, but with the debut of the leaderboard, you couldn’t ask for a tighter race at the top, and decent representation by Green Bay Packers fans, and people with ties to the Worpell family.
1. Trent (354)
2. CraigS (353)
3. Jack (349)
4. Tom (335)
5. Ernesto (329)
6. Christina (329)
StaceyK (326), CraigW (325), David (324) and DaveT (322) round out the Top 10.
To provide a little context, Trent‘s dad is Tom, his fiance is Christina, and CraigW is his brother. So there will no doubt be some smack talk going on among that crew, while they all gun to overtake Trent. CraigS is a fomer league champ, who along with Ernesto and Jack, cheers for the Packers.
