Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cummins Came Up Big in Neah Bay's 68-16 Victory
Starting off the list is Neah Bay's Caleb Cummins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cummins rushed for 184 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries. Those 184 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
The win was the fourth in a row for Neah Bay, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Cummins and Neah Bay will be playing at home against Lummi at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jodell Wimberly Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jodell Wimberly produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Neah Bay to the win on Saturday. Wimberly rushed for 163 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 53 yards and two touchdowns on only five passes. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (110.4). That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in November of 2023.
Wimberly is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Lummi on Friday. Wimberly rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Blackhawks duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jakob Lofton Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Saturday, Concrete had to settle for second even though Jakob Lofton put up the best numbers he has all season. Lofton picked up three sacks and made nine total tackles. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up three sacks and made nine total tackles.
Lofton is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Muckleshoot Tribal on Friday. Lofton picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles the last time he and the Kings duked it out back in September of 2023.

A Season-Best Effort from Zach Link Leads Concrete over Charles Wright
Sadly, Zach Link posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Concrete over Charles Wright on Saturday. Link rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown. Concrete is 2-1 when Link posts 80 or more rushing yards, but 0-3 otherwise.
This season, Link has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 40.2 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 57.07
Josiah Rider's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Concrete over Charles Wright
Another Concrete player making an appearance on this list is Josiah Rider. He rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.4 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 176 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Rider might just drop another big game when he faces off against Muckleshoot Tribal on Friday. Rider rushed for 202 yards and four touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 50 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Kings duked it out back in September of 2023.
