Snapdragons 1-0 Top 5 - 2 Weeks

Everyone will be terrified when they see the Dragons pop up on their schedule. Is it possible they are already exceeding everyone's expectations for them??

Point Diff. +38

Asian Orangutangs 0-1 Top 3 - 5 Weeks

57 in a loss. Nothing the worry about here.

Fightin' Mallards 1-0 Top 5 - 5 Weeks

Cruised to a win despite a dud from Herbert. Need to see more out of the Chargers after that loss to the Cardinals or Mallards could be in trouble.

Memphis Brothers 0-1 Top 5 - 26 Weeks

Was really surprised they dropped that game to the Huskers. Those two will be neck and neck all year.

Josh Allen now has 32 games where he has scored 20+. We'll have to ask Jon and Stat Bot what the league record is (I'll guess Manning owns it).

Kevin was downright giddy after Jaxson Dart led the Huskers to that big win. Time to bench those first round WRs and start those guys they got off waivers last year.

Derek Henry has scored 72 points in his last 3 YFFL games. AP will only hold on to that #2 all time scoring spot a few more weeks.

Somehow Jonathan Taylor only has 13 games where he has scored multiple TDs. Feels like he does it every week.

Will be interesting to see if Lamar Jackson gets the nod to take over at QB again.

Win over Beans had fans wondering if it was 2026 or 2001.

More frisky than I thought they'd be.
