Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Markel Keyes Delivers Best Performance of Season
Salmen was led to victory by Markel Keyes, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Keyes rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns while completing 84.2% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Keyes has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 124.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.67 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 33.17 rushing yards.
