| 10 | beermakersfan | 185.58 | $125 |
Mdorathy takes down the $10 FFFC Qualifier by one of the largest margins we’ve seen in awhile. The final score of 200.3 was impressive thanks to some strong performances from some great wide outs. Top-10 grinder Beermakersfan came in 10th as well and had a good shot late into Monday Night Football but Owen Daniels and Arian Foster fell just a little short!

Grinder LgndNMyMnd has been doing well all season long and he continues in blow out fashion to take down the $22 DSFC Seat. He will now be traveling to Las Vegas to compete for the $100K first place prize! He edged out 999 other competitors in the $22 event including his closest runner-up, Naapstermaan who was vying for a seat in both the FFFC and DSFC which would have been incredible. Regardless, Naap still had some other pretty big wins this week!

Zmcmoto1 takes down the Chase for the Crown after a bunch of Top-10s in Chase events as well as a couple of wins! He scores 417.83 points in the Chase Race and propels himself into 8th in the standings. Grinders still control most of the Chase Leaderboard, though! Headchopper maintains an even slighter edge over our very own RotoGrindersCal

1 Weekly Winner Shown in Bold
Beermakersfan edges out Notorious and Ronnymor2 in the season long battle for the best daily fantasy football player the game has to offer this week. All three had impressive lineups and Notorious used his big week to climb out of the basement and into 11th place. After forgetting to set a lineup earlier in the season he looks to be making a move! Beermakersfan now leads the pack of the Top-12 Grinders from our GLB, but Maxdalury is close behind and everyone is still in the mix here.
