Justin Eleff piled up the top score of the year (213 points) in the Fantasy Index SuperLeague this week, but he works for us. Great job, Justin! We're giving your $25 Barnes and Noble gift card to second-place finisher Bruce Boase of Ogden, Utah. Bruce had the high score two weeks ago. Not coincidentally, he's in first place overall.
So hey, people, enter the contest! Because you might win even if you don't. This week's high scorer will receive a $25 Starbucks gift card.
Also, we'll announce the official winner of the Best Team Name contest this week. Ian posted his preliminary favorites over the weekend, but, ahem, more discussion may be necessary.
