Well, that didn’t take long.
In only his second week in the league, Steve Berry runs away with it, scoring 441, without changing a single player from his Week 1 lineup. Steve‘s team was led by Hurts, Carr, McCaffery, Pollard, Kupp, Waddle, Bateman, Andrews, McPherson and the 49ers D.
Heather with a 387, took second place, thanks to a team featuring Jackson, Carr, McCaffery, Kupp, Williams, Andrews, Tucker and the 49ers D.
This is Steve’s first weekly win in just his second week in the league, and Heather‘s first payday since Week 14 of last season. Congrats to Steve and Heather on their strong showings in Week 2.
The Rookie Report:
As already mentioned, Steve Berry (441) earned bragging rights among the newbies by not making a single trade to his Week 1 lineup. Congrats Steve on showing how patience can be rewarded.
Honorable mention to his colleague Kristie, who posted 341 in her second week in the league.

The Extremes:
Highest scoring player: Tua Tagavailoa (100)*
He sliced and diced the Ravens defense for 400+ yards and six TDs, but not a single owner played him in Week 2.
Lowest scoring player: Joey Slye (-3)
The Commanders K missed an PAT, and the offense tried two 2-pt conversions, so it was negative day all around.
