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!
Chayton Goodwin Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Goodland got the W thanks in part to Chayton Goodwin playing the best football he has all season. Goodwin rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
On the season, Goodwin has averaged 21 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to four.
