Ten games into the 2025 FCNews Fantasy Football for a Cause season and it’s still anyone’s championship.
Team Mohawk is currently in the lead with an 8-2 record, albeit with just a two-game lead over five teams. The teams closest to Mohawk are FCNews, Mannington, AHF Products, Southwind and Dillabaugh Flooring, all with 6-4 records.
As was the case last year, parity continues to reign supreme as three additional teams—America’s Floor Source, Schattdecor and Tarkett—stand at 5-5, still within reach of first place.
Below those three are Consolidated Flooring, All Surfaces and Spartan Surfaces, all with 4-6 records—and all with hopes of the top prize.
To this point, almost every team has won at least $500 for their respective causes via weekly prizes. The leader is All Surfaces, which has garnered $2,500 for Housing First Foundation/21 Roots Farm. Mohawk has won $2,000 for Hero Agriculture; FCNews $2,000 for Parsons Drama Club; Southwind $2,000 for the Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF); and Schattdecor $2,000 for Eagle’s Wings.
