1. Elkins
Here's what we know for sure about Elkins. He's the only undefeated team and leads the league in points scored. For that he gets the #1 spot in the PR, but what we really want to know is HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!! Also, can this team keep winning?
The total points are impressive, but there's always a chance he had one good week and enjoyed an easy schedule the other two weeks. Here's how Elkins has stacked up against the rest of the league each week:
Week 1: 9-2
Week 2: 11-0
Week 3: 10-1
So yeah, he's been really good every week.
Making this run even more impressive is the fact he's doing it without first round pick Dez Bryant and third round pick, Justin Forsett, has been complete bust.
Everything else has more than worked out for Elkins through the first three weeks. Tyrod Taylor is currently the 6th (SIXTH!) highest scoring QB, while David Carr is 12th! Andrew Luck is currently 22nd for reference.
LFG is the 2nd highest scoring WR and all three of Allen/Cooper/Wright rank in the top 20. Hell even his Kicker has been killing it, ranking 3rd overall.
Oh and he has Gronk.
Gronk and the WR production looks real enough. The RBs should continue to be solid. The real question is, can these QBs keep putting up points.
2. Cha
We are getting close to the part of the season when it looks like Cha will be the next league champ. This is always followed by Cha making an unbelievably stupid trade and then 3-4 more stupid trades in hopes of fixing the first deal. So keep sending him offers, he's going to accept one of them.
3. Justin
No one has more RB power than Justin. The AP/Josheph Randle combo looks like the league's best 1-2 punch, plus he has the upside of Todd Gurley possibly being good and CJ Anderson remembering how to run. Mike Evans and Javaris Landry make for a real nice WR combo. The real question is can these QBs start putting up points / stay healthy behind some of the league's worst OL play.
4. Dave
I guess I'll put Dave here so he doesn't go ape-shit over his ranking. Andrew Luck sucked for the third strait week but Dave could be getting a huge boost with the possibility of Arian Foster playing this week. If any of us want a shot at the belt, we should all hope this team doesn't get healthy.
5. Jason
I guess Jason goes here? He has two healthy starting QBs, that's more than most of the team below him can say. IDK this is hard, you guys are killing me on the group line right now and Elani is yelling at me about something in the other room. I JUST NEED TO THINK!!!
6. Tim
Right back where you belong Timmy. This week Tim is starting Fitzpatrick in his QB slot and Ronnie Hillman at OP. Somehow he's only a 70 point underdog to Jason, but we all know Lamar Miller aint gettin no 110 pts on the Jets.
7. Mitch
I'm actually coming off a pretty good week, having gone 8-3 vs the league. Unfortunately I played Elkins and lost by a million. The worst part about my team is trying to figure out which players will be less shitty on a given week. Devonta Freeman will go for all of 12 yards this week while TJ Yeldon goes 2001 Cody Dillon on the Colts.
8. Jesse
The Big Ben injury hurts but not being about to get another starting QB top fill that spot, well the REALLY HURTS. You gotta pay for those QBs.
9. Drew
Drew is actually 5th in points scored, but we all know that's total BS. 3rd round draft pick Joique Bell has already been cut! Who saw that coming?! HAHAHAHAHA
10. Mike/Andrew
Eddie Lacey and Matt Ryan should be a pretty solid combo but the rest of this team has Mike written all over it. Waiver Wire addition Rishard Matthews has been killing it the last couple of weeks, but won't break 90 points the rest of the season. How long until this team wises up and starts Bortles?!
11. Taylor
Injuries have stuck Taylor harder than any other team. Brees, Lynch and Jeffery have all missed a good amount of game time the first three weeks with various injuries.
12. Eric
Covered this in the group line today. Eric is back to his old ways of carrying a roster full of injured and unproductive players while better players are snatched up on the wire. Co-owning a team with him should be fun.
