Notables
- The race for second place got interesting with Brett, Bryce and Aaron all posting a 7-6 record in Week 5 and Stephen climbing out of last place with a 10-3 record this week.
- Ryan continued to gradually pull ahead, posting another stellar winning record (9-4) in Week 5.
- Perhaps the biggest question is this: Will Bryce ever pick against the Panthers?
