Every week, CraigS is close, but it took until Week 12 for him to put it all together and earn a weekly win. Craig posts a 367 to win the week, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Brady, Ekeler, Taylor, B. Robinson, Perine, Diggs, Godwin, Kelce, and the Dolphins D.
Rookie owner Dylan cracks the money for the first time all season, scoring a 353 with a team featuring Allen, White, Ekeler, Singletary, Jefferson, Higgins, Wilson, and Kelce, and without making a single trade off his Week 11 lineup.
This is CraigS’s first weekly win since Week 9 last season, and Dylan‘s first payday ever. Congrats to CraigS and Dylan on their strong showings in Week 12, can enjoying a little something extra following Thanksgiving.
The Rookie Report:
As mentioned above, Dylan earns the weekly bragging rights for the second time this season, but Austin also deserves honorable mention, cracking the top 10 with a 346.
The Leaderboard:
1. Eric (3215)*
2. CraigS (3198)
3. TroyA (3172)
4. Mike (3156)*
5. Seth (3125) *
6. Jack (3070)*
7. Mr. Eames (3055)
David (3018), Heather (3004), and Michael (2945)* round out the top 10.
With six weeks to go, Eric continues to hang onto the top spot, but things are getting tight, as only 90 points separates first from fifth. Adding to the drama, three former league champs, CraigS, TroyA and Mike are in the hunt.
Can Eric stave them off to win the league for the first time ever?
Does sophomore owner Seth have what it takes to close strong and claim the title?
A lot to be decided in the final third of the season.
