After making just one trade this week, Kel&Karen finished the holiday weekend with a score of plenty.
Kel&Karen‘s 374 proved enough to win Week 12, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Mayfield, McCaffery, Pollard, Mitchell, Diggs, Flowers, Kelce, Tucker and the Cowboys D.
SteveB ended his Thanksgiving weekend with a smile, after scoring a 365 to take second, thanks to a roster featuring Allen, Fields, McCaffery, Pollard, Diggs, Cooks, M. Brown, and the Cowboys D.
This is the first weekly win for Kel&Karen, since Week 14 of the 2021 season, and the first pay day for SteveB, since Week 17 of 2021. It’s worth noting that both winning teams made exactly one move each, replacing injured TE Andrews on their Week 12 rosters. Congrats to Kel&Karen and SteveB on their minimalistic trades leading to strong showings in Week 12.
