The Peaking Dynasty (2-1) vs Njokus On You (2-1)
TPD secured a huge comeback win Monday Night in week 3. They now sit at the top of the MFFL and have scored the most points in the league. They survived Mostert scoring 48 points against them. Last season TPD would have lost a game like that, so they are hoping this is a sign that things will be different in 2023. The lineup is stacked, and they're ready to battle each week. Look for them to continue to make aggressive moves, but the starting lineup should largely remain intact for the time being. They will be hoping for better play from Waller and Bijan.
NJOY is off to a hot start. They've scored over 130 in back to back weeks. They've benefited from having the league's second easiest schedule, but looking at their lineup, it easy to see why they are booming. Allen, Evans, and CMC have all been playing well. They also get Kamara back this week. If Andrews can start playing better, then the skies the limit for this lineup. They may struggle during bye weeks, as they have a light bench. But right now they are hot. Look for them to keep it rolling in week 4.
El Pollo Loco (1-2) vs Imposing Monstrosity (2-1)
Loco is (1-2), but they deserve better. They have been TPDd in the early going, scoring high point totals but coming away with losses. But the game they won was when they scored 102, so it hasn't been all bad luck. They continue to alternate good games with bad ones, per usual. But the lineup is improving with each week, especially at RB. TE remains a concern, but they still look like contenders this season. This is a big test on Sunday and a huge Western division clash.
Stros continues to perform after a poor week one. They scored the most points last week, and have quickly established themselves as a team to beat this year. There just isn't a point of weakness, or a position to attack when playing them, which was a point of emphasize for them during their draft prep. Look for them to continue to perform, led by Hurts, Kelce, and St. Brown.
La Flama Blanca (1-1-1) vs The Dingos Ate Your Babies (2-1)
LFB predictably struggled last week, with many players dealing with injuries. Its a lineup right now that lacks firepower. They need Burrow to start playing better. Barkley and Kupp returning to health is critical at this point. It is still early, but a loss this week could put them behind the eight ball. They will have to tread water for what looks like another week.
The Dingos are performing well. They are second in both the standings and points scored. They will be happy with Chase's first performance for their franchise. It is a potent lineup from top to bottom, especially if their young RBs continue to perform. Even after a 3rd place finish last season, their team is better this year. They will be a tough out all the way through.
Chicken Noodle Coop (1-2) vs Rader Flashing TDs (2-1)
CNC once again had a player go down with a season ending injury. Their injury luck to start this season has been terrible. They are just hoping to survive in the early going until they can figure out their lineup construction the rest of the season. A win this week would be huge for them, as (2-2) will feel a lot different than (1-3).
TDs finally scored points last week. We mentioned earlier how their lineup was starting to look better after a few trades, and last week was their coming out party. This may be their best team in years. Getting to (3-1) would be a big moment for this franchise. It would solidify their position as a contender this year.
The Real McCoy (1-1-1) vs Unstopa-Bo (0-3)
McCoy has struggled each of the last two weeks. QB, TE, and FLEX have been problem positions in the early going and they've been reliant on huge games from Hill. They need to stack some wins early, as bye weeks may impact them more than others. Their bench has yet to show a lot of depth. Do not push the panic bottom. This team is more than capable of going on a run. This is a must win for them though, against a lesser opponent at the moment.
UB getting Ekeler back is crucial at this point. An (0-3) hole is tough to climb out of. It's not over yet, the team still has players that can play better, but it has to happen this week.
