Fantasy Index columnist Michael Murillo had the highest scoring team in the Fantasy Index Super League this week and leapt into first place overall, 24 points clear of the second place team.
Michael, who lives in Tampa, Fla., guessed he'd score 202 points -- he always guesses 202 points -- but he finished with 201. His top players were Peyton Manning (35 points), LeSean McCoy (33), Drew Brees (31) and Jamaal Charles (27). He used many of the most-utilized players in the game this week (see the player utilization table), but managed to avoid Rob Gronkowski, who had a poor week and was the No. 1 most-utilized player in the Super League this week.
