Sometimes it feels like there are only a few things you can take for granted: death, taxes and TroyA‘s uncanny ability to play fantasy football. The eight-time league champ posted a 438 to win Week 3, thanks for to lineup featuring Murray, Cousins, Carson, Mattison, Adams, Kupp, Kelce, McLaughlin, and the Broncos D.
Trent took second with a 395, with a roster led by Murray, Jones, Carson, Hunt, Adams, Claypool, Kelce, McLaughlin and the Broncos D.
It’s TroyA‘s and Trent’s first pay days of the season, and TroyA‘s first weekly win since Week 14 of last season, and Trent‘s first pay day since Week 15 of 2019. Congrats to both on the strong Week 3 showing.
