Players are listed alphabetically.
Jeff Babbitt, Boston Glory
After the two-time reigning MVP was completely ignored by “the experts” in last week’s Midseason Awards article, Jeff Babbitt reminded everyone just how dominant he can be, even in a role where he played exactly one O-point in Boston’s two games over the weekend. Playing only on D—and seemingly battling through injury—Babbitt registered four gigantic blocks in each of the Glory’s two road wins north of the border. Suddenly, he now has 15 blocks on the season, the most in the entire league through the end of Week 8.
Tom Blasman, Toronto Rush
After starting the season on the D-line, the Dutch import Tom Blasman has played five straight games on offense for the Rush, in which he’s averaged almost 500 passing yards per contest. And on Sunday against Boston, he engineered his most prolific performance yet, throwing for 630 yards and churning for 230 more receiving. He finished the night 50-for-52 with eight assists and five more hockey assists in the Rush’s 26-23 loss. Despite the disappointing outcome, he was the first in the UFA this season to have eight assists and over 600 throwing yards in the same game.
Orion Cable, Boston Glory
He may not be the tallest and most dominant player in UFA history, but Orion Cable played like it in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Rush. Granted, both teams were struggling to slow down the opposing O-lines, but the 6’5” Cable kinda looked like he was eight feet tall out there, towering over Toronto defenders for goal after goal. He finished the first half with eight goals; prior to this explosion, only one player in the league—Seattle’s Zeppelin Raunig back in Week 2—had caught more than seven goals in a single game during the 2025 season. Cable finished the game with nine goals, one assist, one block, and 528 receiving yards, a total that no one else in the league had reached at any other point this year prior to Sunday. Astonishingly, Cable still ranked second on his team in receiving yards for the game—behind his brilliant Belgian teammate.
Tobe Decraene, Boston Glory
If the Rush D-line struggled to contain Cable, they were also pretty helpless in slowing down the 21-year-old Belgian. Tobe Decraene bettered Cable’s total and finished with 567 receiving yards against Toronto on Sunday night. In addition, he passed for 331 yards and tallied five goals and five assists, while completing 55-of-56 throws in the Glory’s three-point win. And that doesn’t even include his Saturday performance, when he was directly involved in eight of his team’s 16 total scores in a 16-15 double overtime victory over his old team in Montreal. Decraene’s production in Week 8 alone—10 goals, eight assists, one block, and nearly 1,200 total yards—would be a decent season for many players in the league.
Nate Goff, Chicago Union (Pictured)
It’s funny how Nate Goff’s numbers seem kinda small in comparison to Decraene’s ridiculous stat line, but there’s nothing to smirk at when someone finishes a UFA game with six assists, one goal, 314 throwing yards, 321 receiving yards, and no turnovers. Ever since the full-time tracking of yardage stats began in 2021, the 300/300 game has remained a pretty good barometer for excellence, especially if a player is able to reach those marks relatively efficiently. Goff was fully free of mistakes in Chicago’s dominant 26-14 victory over Indianapolis, and his six assists were the most he’s ever had in his 55-game UFA career.
John Randolph, New York Empire
Amidst Saturday night’s double overtime insanity between the Breeze and the Empire, John Randolph provided more evidence that a full season spent on the New York O-line would very likely launch him firmly into the MVP conversation. It’s an assertion that I have casually joked in the past as he bided his time positively impacting his team’s fortunes on D, but his skillset and big-game reliability shined bright as New York improbably prevailed in one of the wildest games in UFA history. Randolph threw six scores, caught three more, produced 578 total yards, and tossed 46 completions without a single throwaway in the Empire’s stunning one-goal win, keeping New York within reach of a playoff spot heading into this week’s Friday Night Frisbee showcase against Toronto.
Kyle Weinberg, Salt Lake Shred
The Salt Lake D-line set the tone emphatically on Friday night against the Steel, breaking the Oregon offense six times in the first nine minutes en route to the Shred’s 31-19 blowout win. Overall, 10 guys on Salt Lake’s roster tallied a block, but Kyle Weinberg stood out as the only Shred player with multiple blocks. Weinberg also had 11 completions, two assists, two more hockey assists, one goal, and no turns in the Shred’s easy victory, improving the team to 6-1 on the season.
