Adam Greenberg Is the New FPC Leader

The Besiktas squad, managed by Adam Greenberg, now sits on top of more than 10,000 other teams in the 2020 Footballguys Players Championship. Mike Davis (29.9), the Ravens defense and Darius Slayton (20.9) were the heavy lifters for Greenberg as he now is in first place by 2.5 points over last week's leader, Ryan Gyorkos.

Kenny Griffin's KGZ04 shot up five spots to third with Sal's Spaghetti Revolution, owned by Christopher Condrus, moving three spots up into fourth. Rounding out the top five is Derek Magnusson's squad that fell one spot to fifth. Check out the top 40 teams in the competition going into Week 6 below:
