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!
Prater Made His Presence Known in Dupo's 48-14 Loss
Starting off the list is Dupo's Deegan Prater, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Prater rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 200 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Prater has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 172.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had five rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to ten.
