Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jamarae Lamb Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Wallace-Rose Hill had to settle for second even though Jamarae Lamb put up the best numbers he has all season. Lamb rushed for 187 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (109.9). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
