Jayden Michaelis Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Berthoud's Jayden Michaelis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Michaelis picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Michaelis has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 70.6 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had four receiving touchdowns.
Gamescore: 34.32
Cash Altschwager and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Wellington picked up their sixth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Cash Altschwager. Altschwager's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 100 rushing yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Altschwager might just drop another big game when he faces off against Eaton on Friday. When Altschwager last faced the Reds back in October, he rushed for 220 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Gamescore: 28.28
Wellington Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Tyler Shaffer
Wellington picked up their sixth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Tyler Shaffer. Nobody could stop Shaffer as he made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
On the year, Shaffer has averaged 7.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.1 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 16.55 receiving yards.
Gamescore: 27.77
Tanner Gray and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Tanner Gray's big game helped extend Wellington's winning streak to six on Saturday. Gray did his part (and then some), throwing for 42 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 31 yards for the 'W'.
For the season, Gray has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 72.2 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 37.25 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 25.10
