In a low-scoring week, Nigel was able to field a strong performance in every box to score a 343 and win the week. Nigel‘s team was led by L. Jackson, Carr, Jacobs, J. Robinson, J. Williams, Thielen, Andrews and Tucker. His wildcard was Claypool who scored nine points.

Our runner-up was Brenda, who also scored a 343 thanks to a lineup featuring J. Allen, Carr, Cook, Patterson, J. Williams, Kupp, M. Brown, Theilen and Kelce, but she gambled on a former Arkansas Razorback (Burks) as her wildcard, and he only scored four points, so Nigel wins the tiebreaker.

This is Nigel’s first weekly win ever since joining the league in 2019, and Brenda‘s first payday since Week 12 of last season. Congrats to Nigel and Brenda on their strong showings in Week 3.

The Rookie Report:
