In addition to the fantasy W, Campinas Giants was keen enough to select winners in real football, as well. Every one of their starters played on a winning NFL team this past week. Since Gronkowski was the top point-getter for Campinas Giants, it means a different player has led the team in each of the last four weeks.

If Jacobs had suited up and gotten his per-game average, Indaiatuba Blues would have lost by 1.92 points. Tannehill has now led Indaiatuba Blues in scoring in back-to-back weeks.
