The most popular roster bounced back with 65% of the available points and five of the top scoring players. Bo Nix and Saquon Barkley offset the struggles at wideout and a surprise bust from Baker Mayfield. The top defenses did some heavy lifting well.

Baldspots is outside the top 200 despite the win but with three finishes in the top 40 he could climb back into contention. Last week’s winner, Rich Z. dropped two spots to 4th overall. BigRichie finished 30th this week to maintain the top overall score. He has finished in the top 30 five of the last six weeks and has opened up a healthy 51 point margin. We’re into the second half of the season, will that lead hold until the finish? He will be hard to catch at this pace. Here is a look at the Top 25 overall through seven weeks:
