Despite the Steelers and Giants scoring points on Monday Night, no one challenged Steve Berry, who posted a 359 to win Week 8. Steve‘s winning team featured L. Jackson, Purdy, Henry, Achane, R. Stevenson, Lamb, Diggs, Kittle and the Broncos D.
Kerry (338) was this week’s runner up, thanks to a lineup led by L. Jackson, Purdy, Henry, Mixon, McLaurin, Kittle Seibert and the Chiefs D.
This is Steve Berry‘s first weekly win since Week 2 of the 2022 campaign, when he was a rookie owner, and gives him bragging rights over his peers at Carroll Community College this week. Kerry‘s strong showing is her third pay day in eight weeks, as our former league champ has been the epitome of consistency in 2024. Congrats to Steve and Kerry on their strong performances.
