Bravo 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!
Nate Lewis Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Villa Park's Nate Lewis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Lewis picked up a sack and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
For the year, Lewis has averaged 7.8 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 16.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 40.75 rushing yards.

On Friday, Tesoro had to settle for second even though Adam Achour put up the best numbers he has all season. Achour made 16 total tackles (3.0 for loss). Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 6.2 total tackles per game.
Tesoro is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. Achour will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Corona del Mar on Friday.
