Week 9 Rewind
Fried Watermelon goes off for their best week
Another top 3 scoring week for Still Breezy, another L in the win-loss column. Jeff scored the weekly high to take down Joe, who is averaging 122 points during his 3 week losing streak. JR came in with the weekly low losing to Marlo, who got a crucial win in the playoff race. Only 4 weeks left in the fantasy season, but there’s still plenty of time for the standings to be shaken up.
With Jason’s team finally losing, the current win streak leaders are Kevin and Josh at 3 wins, while Kurtis has dropped 5 straight after his 3–1 start.
