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 Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Salmen got the W thanks in part to Markel Keyes playing the best football he has all season. 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 season, Keyes has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 124.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 1.67 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 33.17 rushing yards.
