As the Christmas holiday wrapped up, TroyA may have wrapped up another league championship. TroyA scored a 396, thanks to a lineup led by J. Allen, Mahomes, McCaffery, Hall, A. Jones, Jefferson, Higgins and A. Carlson.

Chris posted a 378 to take second, thanks to a roster featuring Love, Mahomes, McCaffery, Elliott, St. Brown, Metcalf, Shaheed, Sanders and the Browns D.

This is the first weekly win for TroyA, since Week 18 of last season, and the first pay day for Chris, since Week 15 of 2018. Congrats to both on their strong showings in Week 16.

The Rookie Report:

In week 16, Austin (319) edged Ryan (311) to earn bragging rights among the new owners. Congrats Austin on yet another great week.

The Leaderboard:

After so much turnover, the top four spots were unchanged in Week 16, albeit TroyA did extend his lead by a sizeable margin. Heather jumped three spots to land in fifth.

2. Eric (4463)
3. Trent (4403)
4. David (4383)

With two weeks to go, TroyA may have opened enough of a lead to win the league. Meanwhile, less than 100 points separates third and 10th, which leaves a lot to be determined in the remaining weeks.

For the second time in three weeks, David wins the week, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Burrow, McCaffery, Gibbs, R. White, Diggs, Chase, Theilen, Butker and the Jets D., which resulted in a 394.

In second place is one of the greatest comeback stories in league history. Two-time former league champ Dennis (1999 & 2008) returned to the league this season after more than a decade away, and posted a 382, thanks to a lineup featuring Tagovailoa, Burrow, Kamara, Gibbs, T. Hill, Chase, Theilen, Gay and the Cowboys D.

As previously mentioned this is David’s second win in the past three weeks, and the first pay day for Dennis, since Week 1 of 2011. Congrats to both on their strong showings in Week 8.

In week 8, Ryan (282) and Zach (282) edged Austin by a mere two points to share bragging rights among the new owners. Congrats Ryan and Zach.
