1A Long Pin (8 Man) 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!
Maxon Yearsley's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Garden Valley's Maxon Yearsley, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Yearsley picked up 183 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 92 yards.
For the year, Yearsley has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 91 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to six.
