Golden Empire Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Braylen Blevins Goes Supernova in Casa Roble Win
Starting off the list is Casa Roble's Braylen Blevins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Blevins rushed for 175 yards while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. Those 175 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Blevins must have Dixon's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Blevins rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and Dixon duked it out back in October of 2023.

Aidan Lopez Makes It Two for Casa Roble
Keeping Blevins company is Aidan Lopez, a fellow Casa Roble player. He threw for 307 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 15.4 yards per attempt.
This year, Lopez has thrown 21 touchdowns while averaging 241.8 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 45.17
Marcus Meras Turns in Season-Best Performance
Marcus Meras produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Sutter to the win on Friday. Meras rushed for 164 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 64 yards.
Meras and Sutter will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Casa Roble at 7:15 p.m. on November 1st. The match will pit Meras up against the Rams' star running back Braylen Blevins. Will the matchup be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Darren Dalton Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles

For the season, Dalton has averaged 10.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 6 sacks.
