Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Aaron Deleon Dazzles in Stratford Win
Starting off the list is Stratford's Aaron Deleon, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Deleon threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Deleon must have Jersey Village's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Deleon threw for 409 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in November of 2023.
