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!
Demon June Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Jacksonville got the W thanks in part to Demon June playing the best football he has all season. June rushed for 407 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 17.7 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
D.H. Conley had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw June it was a similar story. When June last faced the Vikings back in October of 2023, he rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.
