For the second week in a row, we had eight owners top 400 points for the week. (A pretty clear sign it is time for a new playlist).
In the end, it was Andrew who posted a season high 484 to win the week, thanks to a lineup led by Hurts, Richardson, McCaffery, Swift, Achane, K. Williams, Nacua, Folk and the Cowboys D.
CraigS, another former league champion, was runner up, thanks to a team featuring J. Allen, Stroud, McCaffery, Walker, K. Williams, Jefferson, Nacua, and the Cowboys D.
This is Andrew’s first weekly win since Week 7 of the 2020 season when he won it all, and the first pay day for CraigS, since Week 9 of 2021. Congrats to both on their strong showings in Week 4.
