Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Friday through Monday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Calvin Thomas Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Monday, Gainesville got the W thanks in part to Calvin Thomas playing the best football he has all season. Thomas picked up 211 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Gainesville's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
On the season, Thomas has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 80 receiving yards per game.
