Thomas puts up 300+ yards to lead Floyd

It seems like every time you look at a William Floyd's box score and take a peek at Ja’Quan Thomas's numbers you have to take a double take; this week was a triple take as the star running back ran wild. 

Thomas rushed for over 300 yards in Floyd's 20-0 victory over Brentwood. 

Thomas, who was the best player in Suffolk, and many said the entire state last season, has left off right where he was and just keeps churning out yards. He carried the ball just 22 times and added to his impressive touchdown totals with three more on the day. 

For their part Brentwood kept things close most of the way. It was just a 6-0 game heading into the 4th quarter before Thomas ran in two more touchdowns, one being a 44 yarder that sealed the deal for Floyd. 

Thomas now has nearly 400 yards on the ground through just two games and six touchdowns as they now travel to Sachem East next weekend.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
