1. Membrillos (3-0) (240.62 pts) Undefeated in the North Division and the overall points leader through the first leg of intradivisional play Nik’s aggressive pursuit of Matt Ryan at the auction is looking brilliant. He’s stacked with question marked youth that he’ll have to make decisions on in the next week.
2. Catch 42 (3-0) (220.91) The only other undefeated team, Brandon leads the South Division. If he could play a line up without a RB legally he’d look even stronger. If either Ryan Mathews steps up or Ahmad Bradshaw recovers to resume the full load of carries for the Giants he could post big numbers regularly.
3. NOJOQ (2-1) (203.87) Leading the West Division by HTH win over Pimps, defending Deuce Champ, Rob, has started each of his QB’s once in each of the opening 3 weeks. With a core of Megatron and Julio Jones he can afford to rotate in good but not great players in other positions based on match up. It’ll be interesting to see if he can capture any skins with this method.
4. Pigskin Pimps (2-1) (236.75) Barely 2nd in the West and 2nd overall in points scored, Dan was a little loose with his purse strings at the auction spending more than half his cap on Brady and Wallace. Translation is lack of depth, however, the emergence of Mikel LeShoure gives him one more good option. If he stays healthy he could be strong all season long.
5. Morning Damien Woody (2-1) (153.62) By record alone does MDW rate this highly as Keith is the lowest scoring team in the Deuce. Ray Rice and Aaron Rodgers should allow him to stay competitive but a full emergence of Colston and Britt are necessary for a successful season because depth is very sketchy beyond that.
6. Fantasy Enemy #1 (1-2) (233.31) Third highest point total and a roster that has his arrow pointing up, Tarek has only to hope that CJ Spiller and Reggie Bush can shake off their week 3 injuries. Tony Gonzalez is still good enough for him to run the wishbone. Owning Gore, MJD, RBush and Spiller makes a good TE a must with only 2 good WR plays.
7. Mad Bombers (1-2) (228.48) Averaging over 75 pts/week John lost out on the week 2 skin by 1 rushing yard to Enemy. RG3 and Alfred Morris are rookie picks infusing life into a group of Questionable vets. Jamaal Charles week 3 explosion has given big hope to this teams continued scoring.
8. Polaq (1-2) (203.02) Ed’s team is anchored by Drew Brees, but injuries to Forte and Garcon reveal a shallow pool of potential starters that will be further exposed during bye week play. Polaq will have to be Po-Lucky to make a playoff run this season.
9. Sqyline Qonies (1-2) (198.39) What looked like a great roster to start the season was victimized by injury, disappointment and managerial horseplay. AHern was the 1st elite major injury, Welker was Franchised and then demoted, Cam Newton is in an early season funk and SJax looks great every handoff until he reaches the O-Line and there’s no hole. Plenty of other players can carry the load on this team if the right line up is played.
10. Quahogs (1-2) (182.43) Brian’s team is lacking depth but even more glaringly lacking star power. Big names Michael Vick, Roddy White and Larry Fitzgerald appear to be 2nd tier players this year.
11. Sooms Squad (1-2) (177.43) The lowest scoring team in QFL2 through 3 weeks Reuven has several strong RB’s (assuming CJ2K reappears) but only 1 playable WR in Vincent Jackson. Peyton Manning and Alex Smith appear to be a weak spot at QB as well. Seems ripe for a mutually beneficial trade for someone who needs a RB.
12. Deep Fried Turduckins (0-3) (197.12) Will’s Turds is a sound squad, but nothing too sexy. He’s been a bit unlucky facing the skin winner in 2 of his 3 opening opponents, but without a whole lot more luck this is not a playoff team.
