Week 5 Match-Up Build-Up

 Bye weeks are upon us. Many teams have deflated point projections for this week. This is the part of the season where depth plays a major role. 

LFB vs Dingos

Both teams are top 3 in points scored and they both sit with a (2-2) record. LFB has been carried by Daniels and Henry, but the rest of the lineup has had their ups and downs. No team may be as volatile as them week to week. Getting Mixon and Kupp back will be a big boost. Losing Rice is a major downgrade. This team will likely have high highs, and low lows throughout the season. The Dingos have been much more consistent this season, and they are coming off their best week. The lineup really came together a week ago, and players started playing up to their potential. They have depth, and outside of a few minor injuries, they look built for a strong 2024 season. 

TPD vs Coop

TPD has played ok, but continues to run into tough competition. They sit 3rd in points against, which is in line with their #1 toughest schedule since the MFFLs inception. The lineup still looks solid. They continue to make trades. Things will likely even out, but as of now they have just been average. 

Cops is (3-1) after escaping with a victory last week only scoring 99 points. They are 8th in points scored, illustrating some decent schedule luck in the early going. Still, they continue to be a force to be reckoned with since joining the MFFL. Few teams have been as consistent as them. Like TPD, they have many guys on bye this week. It is the battle of the back-ups in this matchup. 

NJOY battles an up and down UB squad. NJOY is currently tops in the MFFL, holding the most points and a (3-1) record. Bye weeks may be an issue this week. UB is in the middle of the pack, but they have the talent to ascend at any point during the season. 

Stros is (3-1) and has really turned a corner since their poor week 1. QB and TE remain issues, but the rest of the lineup looks good. TDs has the league's toughest schedule, and the fewest points scored. Not a good combination. 

McCoy and Loco are trying to get out of an early season hole. Both picked up crucial wins a week ago.
