Week 3 Recap
We have two remaining undefeated teams after three weeks, one deserving and the other not so much. Elliot’s Last Good Tight End look to ride the Lamar Jackson - Mark Andrews combo to KFL glory, while the (Un)Lucky Ducks have been enjoying a cruise in a cupcake division. They win yet again with a pathetic 62 points and will surely come down to earth soon. The Ohio division looks to be another bloodbath of mediocrity as the Monarchs got a much deserved win and another low scoring battle saw the Slugs take the divison lead.
Meanwhile the Tenderloin’s got their first win of the season and we have a pair of winless franchises; The Supermarket Duds and Michael’s GMOs who both had ok days, but couldn’t find a win.

Best Ball Week 3 Update
After 3 weeks, Jeff’s Slugs look to be getting the most out of their team and putting out a really optimal lineup leading to his 2-1 record matching his 2-1 best ball record. Not surprising, Elliot’s Last Good Tight End leads in points and also has points to spare on the bench. Poor Kurt’s Tenderloins would be sitting at 3rd in Best Ball overall points, but just has had shambolic time managing the franchise. Finally, it is important to note that the 2-1 Bluecats sit at 0-3 based on best ball record and don’t leave a lot of points on the bench suggesting they will really struggle from here on out and likely miss the playoffs once again.

Stud of the Week
Yet again Elliot’s Last Good Tight End get another massive week from Lamar Jackson who is once again looking in MVP form. If he keeps putting up these types of results this will be Elliot’s title to lose.

Dud of the Week
The dud this week goes to last year’s fraud of a Super Bowl champ, Matthew Stafford. His interception happy ways led him to put up a measly 9 points when he was projected for 22 and was a big reason why Alex’s Kraken fell by a measly three points to Nick’s (Un)Lucky Ducks.
