Notes:

• All three of the new Grinders on the Top-100 Leaderboard came in between #95 and #100 this week. It should be a tough battle to maintain their spots but JayJigga, Ronnymor2 and Bubblegumga will show whether they are up for the task over the next 7 days!
• ESMMark stole the show this week in the GLB Update, with an 8 place jump from 89th to 81st. He is someone we’ll be sure to keep a close eye on in the coming weeks.
• RFK213 wrapped up the second biggest move of the week, as he was able to push up 6 spots to #70th overall so big congrats there!
• Three players tied for the 3rd biggest move of the week, each of whom were able to displace 5 other Grinders in the past 7 days. So a huge shoutout to BTJordan23, Bripc23 and Dean78904
• “Weekend Warrior” Emac had a nice little week for himself, as he jumped three spots to #56 overall and now sits just outside the Top-50.
• DailyLeaguer and SprtsNut4Ever join Emac in the group of players who moved up 3 spots this week. DailyLeaguer jumped to #74 and SprtsNut4Ever moved to #63 overall.

Tournament Player of the Year Leaderboard

We see a TPOY Leaderboard that is relatively the same this week, but look for Mhesters to make a big move in next week’s rankings following Friday night’s HUGE take down of the $100K DK Punchout. Big ups to him AND to the runner-up Naapstermaan.

MLB 2013 Leaderboard

Ehafner maintains his lead over the rest of the pack in the MLB race this week. BirdWings is close behind and MaxDalury is just a step behind that in third. And in fourth, just under 20K, is the newest author for RG MrTuttle. His outside the box picks are clearly winning him big money in DFS this season. The next 3, PrimeTime, STLCardinals and Notorious are all in the 17K range and should be battling for positioning in the coming weeks!
