Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ralph (Trey) Blakeney Dazzles in Hough Win
Ralph (Trey) Blakeney was instrumental in extending Hough's winning streak to six on Thursday. Blakeney did his part (and then some), throwing for 178 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 47 yards for the 'W'. Those 47 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
On the season, Blakeney has thrown 22 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 221.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.71 rushing yards.

Zierre Brooks Turns in Season-Best Effort

He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 67 yards.
This year, Brooks has averaged 96.4 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.71 rushing yards per game.
