Christmas Comes Early for Trent

Christmas came early for Trent, who posted a 431 to win the week and improve his chances to finish in the money. Trent’s Week 15 lineup featured L. Jackson, Mahomes, McCaffery, Singletary, Chandler, Kupp, Reed, Tucker and the Dolphins D.

Major (411) bests two other owners over 400+ this week, to take second place, thanks to a lineup led by L. Jackson, Mahomes, McCaffery, K. Williams, Chandler, Lamb, Metcalf, Reed, Tucker and the Dolphins D.

Honorable mention to Heather (405) and Kim (401) for also topping 400 in Week 15.

This is the second weekly win for Trent this season, and the first pay day for Major, since Week 7 of 2021. Congrats to both on their strong showings in Week 15.

The Rookie Report:

In week 15, Ryan (369) edged Ernesto (367) to earn bragging rights among the new owners. Congrats Ryan on a great week.
