The PotW nominees are:

- Ben Ritholtz, Wide Receiver/Safety, All The Kings Men. Ritholtz caught the game winning touchdown, returned a punt for a TD, and had the game-clinching interception.

- AJ Varon, WR/CB, Team Operation Embrace: Eretz Hatzvi. Varon’s dominant play was highlighted by 2 TDs and an INT .

- Micha Muskal, QB, Tov Pizza. The veteran All Star kept Tov Pizza undefeated (yes, with one tie), tossing TD passes on every drive of the game.

- Eli Benzaqen, QB, Klein Management.  The new frontrunners may have a Lebron-sized target painted on their backs, but they’re proving themselves more capable than certain South-Beach-based teams at handling the pressure, under Benzaqen’s game management.

- Motti Davidson, Lobos, Tight End. Finally, a little credit to the tight ends of this world – probably one of the most important positions for a serious title contender. And now Lobos finally has the other important weapon that any contender needs – a chip on their shoulder, thanks to Lebron Rudman and Dwyane Ingber. (We kid because we love, guys!)   

- Bibi Goodman, QB, Pizzeria Efrat. Goodman seems to have really found his stride, spreading the field and hitting many receivers, including new weapon Mikey Liebowitz multiple times.  

Yoel Kaplan, WR, (Moret Group - Hidary/Frimada) Four TDs.

Yonatan Efrat, Bitach, WR/S – primary target with two TDs and huge receptions in Bitach’s continued surge.
