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!
Evan Moreno Dazzles in Robinson Victory
Starting off the list is Robinson's Evan Moreno, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Moreno rushed for 205 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
The victory was the third in a row for Robinson, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Moreno and Robinson will head out to challenge Connally at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
