Andrew Edenbaum had a season to remember in 2019 as he competed in 8 NFBC events. He won the NFBC 12-Team Super League going away and he won four of his six Rotowire Online Championship leagues, finishing 3rd in one other OC and 5th in another OC. He also finished 8th in an early NFBC $150 Draft Champions league. Great job Andrew.
