For  first time this season, the Thursday Night leading scorer managed to hang onto that scoring output to become that week’s Fantasy Gem! As mentioned in the last 4th & 25 to Life Pregame Report, Hester put up 20 Rushing Yds & 1 TD, 25 Receiving Yds & 97 Return Yds & 1 TD for a total of 37.20 fantasy points! Hester has put up monster numbers within the first three weeks of the season as he’s averaging a ridiculous 20.67 fantasy points per game (62.00 total fantasy points). If you haven’t already, Hester is definitely someone you may want to invest in or trade for as the Falcons remaining schedule does not seem all that daunting.

On the business side of things, EL JEFE has been terminated from The League – 2014’s Finest and his team is now under League Management. We are filling his spot so if you know anyone that was left out once we got started let me know and we will get them in as soon as you can say the word go! Coming up this weekend, we will update E.L.S.I.E. University’s Team Profiles during the 4th & 25 to Life Pregame Report, so be on the look out for that as well as updated matchup previews. So Let’s Get To It!
