Tonga Posts Huge Game in 34-7 Win
Starting off the list is Leuzinger's Journee Tonga, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tonga rushed for 246 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 36 receiving yards. Tonga is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 101 every time he's taken the field this season.
This year, Tonga has averaged 38.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 23.
