After finishing
week #1 in the red, OldNo7 is back on top of the standings where
they finished
2023, thanks to second place in week #2 and the team’s first win
in 2024 this
week. J Burrow had
a big game on MNF
with 3 TDs and 31 pts which was a partial recovery from his poor
season start
although the Bengals lost anyway.
RB K
Williams also had 3 TDs but unlike Burrow his performance made a
difference as
the Rams beat the 49ers. After
3 weeks
Williams sits at RB6 in the PQBFL which is even better than his
already
somewhat elevated pre-season ranking on most draft lists. Both Old WRs Amon-Ra
and Godwin scored a
short TD to round-off a solid offensive week for Old. Defense was more
average with three
individual defenders scoring between 10-12 pts which is not bad,
but that was
offset by only 3 pts by Sam Hubbard and by an ugly home loss by
the Browns
whose defense did not get the job done against the lowly Giants.
The
GloriousBastards had their best result of the young season with
second
place. On MNF Bas
tried a comeback
attempt but J Chase’s two TDs were cancelled out by Burrow (Old)
so Chase’s
26.75 pt effort was good enough to beat Prof but it was
realistically not
really possible to catch Old who had the QB throwing to Chase. Bas’ other WR was
almost equally good with
23.5 pts from R Rice who will probably end up benefiting from M
Brown being out
for the year. Rookie
Bo Nix had his
first career win with 15.75 pts which was more than he scored in
weeks #1-2
combined (10.25 pts). On
defense only 1
out of 4 defenders scored double digits (Derwin James) but the
Steelers were
solid with 15 pts.
ProfMJ remained
tied at the top of the standings with third place this week. Prescott was team
leader with 30 pts but
oddly that did not benefit CD Lamb who lagged with only 4.25 pts
including a
fumble lost. The WR
which carried the
load was surprisingly D Johnson with 19 pts as he started in
place of injured D
Samuel. Prof did
not miss a beat and the
timing was perfect for the benching of B Young (FE) in favor of
Dalton who
suddenly made Johnson a top WR.
Prof
essentially starts 3 WRs every week because the team’s rookie
WRs are as good
as veteran WRs, this week Harrison scored 14 pts and Nabers was
on the bench
with 22 pts which is a coaching call which cost Prof second
place. After three
weeks, Nabers and Harrison rank
ROO2 and 3. If they
were WRs instead,
Nabers would be WR4 and WR9 – both starting material. Not bad at all.
The
BeaudoinBrothers had a poor start on TNF with a negative score
by R Stevenson
and only 2 pts by Dugger. The
Sunday 1pm
games were rough as well with only 7 pts by CJ Stroud and 5 pts
by Ty Hill who
now even lost his backup QB to injury. The
Bros were able to climb themselves out of the hole on MNF thanks
to a solid
road win by J Daniels against the Bengals.
Daniels scored 28.5 pts and is the only rookie to have
outscored
Harrison and Nabers. Similarly
to the
comparison above, if Daniels was a QB not a rookie, he would be
worth a starter
spot as he would rank QB6.
Beaud could
have finished this week higher if not for the bad game by Aiyuk
who only scored
7.25 pts despite both Kittle (Ball) and Samuel (Prof) being out
to injury. Aiyuk
was completely eclipsed by his teammate
J Jennings who caught 3 TDs.
WaxOnWaxOff
had a second straight middling week with 5th place. S Barkley was the best
Wax player on the
field with 28 pts. So
far Barkley is
second best in the entire PQBFL, barely behind Josh Allen (23.5
pts vs 23.0
pts). While good things are to be expected from Barkley, Wax’s
second best
score this week was far more surprising.
While Wax waits for Hockenson to come back to health,
Kmet started and
he scored 19.5 pts after a very slow start in the first two
weeks. Wax’s two
WRs also scored a TD like Kmet but
they did not outscore him, with 15 pts from Ju Jefferson and 17
pts from DK
Metcalf. Rookie B
Thomas was the only
starting pass catcher who did not score with only 7.25 pts on
MNF. Defense was
porous for Wax this week with 4
pts each from the 49ers and Nick Bosa, while Oluokun barely did
better with 4.5
pts.
FlyingElvis
continued to trend down; after 3rd place in week #1
and 4th
place in week #2, FE settled for 6th this week. Josh Allen bailed FE
from a much worse result
thanks for 30.25 pts on MNF and his previous WR Diggs was the
only other
starter on offense who showed up to play with 14.75 pts. M Andrews had a goose
egg and RBs Dobbins+Jacobs
were non-factors with only 8.5 pts combined.
On defense the Packers were stellar with 23 pts including
a TD in a
dominating road win in TEN, but the normally solid Maxx Crosby
was limited to
only 4.5 pts which was a fraction of what he did in weeks 1-2
(11 pts and 17.5
pts). Even college
RB Jeanty cooled
down, after a torrid start including the week before the start
of the PQBFL, he
was on bye in week #2 and perhaps he rested on his laurels too
much because he
only scored 2.5 pts this week after his return from the week
off.
The
Decepticons modestly improved from 8th in weeks #1-2
to 7th
despite playing without a starting QB which is a nearly
impossible handicap to
overcome. Dec only
needed a below
average 14.5 pts from any QB and would have finished 4th
instead of
7th. All
4 of Dec’s position
players RBs-WRs scored double digits, led by 23.25 pts from J
Taylor. Even rookie
Caleb Williams showed signs of
life despite losing. He
scored 13.5 pts
which was better than his horrible season start (9.5 pts in
first two weeks
combined) but still below his weekly projection so he needs to
do better. Defense
was hit and miss for Dec, Z Franklin
had a solid game with 15 pts but co-LB TJ Edwards was AWOL with
only 2 pts; Edwards’
poor effort made their combined starting LB score lower than
their joint weekly
projection.
The Ballers
finished out of the cellar for the first time of the season but
barely, with 8th
place. QB L-Jax had
a difficult matchup
in Dallas but he could not be denied and outscored his weekly
projection with a
solid 24.25 pts. Rookie
Rome scored his
first TD of the year with 16.5 pts which was the Ballers’ second
best score of
the week. Zack Moss
and G Wilson both
scored a short TD to reach double digits.
However Ball was held back by Javonte Williams still
being as poor as in
years past when he had an injury excuse unlike this year. This week Williams
scored 0.25 pt in a game
that the Broncos played well and won easily 26-7 in TB. Williams was outrushed
by some no-name called
Badie. Except for
the fact that Badie
was moved back to the practice squad after the game, it will
soon be time to
kick Williams to the curb permanently.
After a
decent season start, Adm hit the wall this week with only 86.25
pts. Franchise
player AJ Brown’s absence from injury
is starting to bite with none of the other 4 WRs on Adm’s roster
reaching
double digits this week. N
Collins
started and came close with 9.25 pts but the other starting WR
Doubs only
scored 1.75 pts and possibly does not belong in the PQBFL. He ranks WR40 in the
PQBFL after three
weeks. At RB J
Gibbs was fine with 15.5
pts but the other starting RB R White only scored 3.75 pts. It’s time to revisit
this catastrophic pick
by Adm’s GM. White
has gradually been
losing carries to rookie RB Bucky Irving (Beaud) as shown by
this week’s stat
line Irving 9-70 vs White 6-17.
But what
stings the most is that RB James Cook (Prof) was available at
the time Adm drafted
White. Cook ranks
RB5 in the PQBFL while
R White ranks RB30. Unsurprisingly,
immediately
after White was drafted at 18th overall, Cook was
taken by Prof at
19th.
