Jackson Steel Sage Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Anderson's Jackson Steel Sage, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Steel Sage rushed for 53 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 189 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
For the season, Steel Sage has thrown 12 touchdowns (and and only 2 pick) while averaging 155.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to eight.
