Match-Up Build-Up Week 3

 

1. Njokus on You (2-0) vs The Peaking Dynasty (2-0)

The last two remaining unbeaten teams will clash on Sunday. They were also the top 2 regular season teams a year ago. 

NOY is currently 1st in the MFFL, having dominated each of the last two weeks due to the strength of their RB core. They will ride them as long as they can. Their WRs and TE continue to be spots of weakness, but it hasn't hurt them up to this point. A win over TPD this weekend would give them top dog status at the present moment. A title they held for pretty much all of last season. 

TPD survive last week, even with their starting TE getting hurt in pre-game workouts. The rest of the lineup balled out. They have injuries to their star WRs, so they will have to look to their bench. Even with the team not being at full strength they still look to be a challenge. Harrison bounced back, and they will need him to perform well again if they are to walk away with a win on Sunday.

2. The Dingos Ate Your Babies (1-1) vs Chicken Noodle Coop (1-1)

This is an early season pivotal match-up in the East division. Both franchises have been active on free agency and in trades, working to fill holes on their roster. The Dingos could have very easily been (2-0) and their lineup looks stacked at the present moment. Coop just lost Pacheco, but added depth at WR and RB, and they now have a better flex with Flowers. They need a bounce back performance from Richardson. Expect fireworks on Sunday when these two draw swords. 

3. La Flama Blanca (1-1) vs One Pathetic Loser..No Offense (1-1)

LFB and Loser went in two different directions in week 2. The trade for Mason absolutely saved Loser's season. They now don't have to worry about the loss of CMC. The rest of the team performed well too. LFB failed to score 100 points, after scoring 156 in week 1. Some of the strong performers from week 1 vanished in week 2, which could be a sign of things to come, or just a blip on the radar. Both teams will get answers after Sunday, though Loser looks to be more stable at the moment, opposite of what their name would suggest. 

-UB ran into a buzzsaw last week, but they have scored over 120 in each of their first two match-ups.

-Loco is looking to find their way, and they may make a QB change, chasing a potential league winning stack.

-Stros bounced back a week ago, but now Deebo is hurt, limiting their WR upside.

-McCoy scored just 85 points last week. Injuries and poor play have stung them in the early going.
