Inside the LFFL Week 3 results

Week 3 Results:

The league now has no unbeaten teams and only one winless team.  That team is also the highest scoring team!  Such is life in the Fantasy Football world.  Terry drops his first game to Denny.  Injuries, injuries everywhere have team owners scrambling to the waiver wire to fill out a lineup.  

• Game of the week:
  Men of Steel (2-1) 120.78 EZ Dubs (1-2) 118.84: Justin was way down heading into MNF with David Montgomery remaining while Ed led by about 18 with Jared Goff yet to play.   It looked like a safe lead for Ed but Justin almost pulled this one out as Monty ran all over the Ravens D for 28.9. But Ed hung on with Jared Goff providing just enough for the win. MOS was led in scoring by Omarion Hampton with 21.9, Christian McCaffrey scored 19 and George Pickens was good for 15.3.  Monty led the EZD with 28.9 and AJ Brown was good for 19.9.

  Blame the Refs (2-1) 102.7 Password is Taco 94.22 (1-2) Rob gets above .500 behind a big week from Jonathan Taylor with 31.3 teaming with the Colts D/ST with 15.  PT receives 21.22 from Drake Maye, 19.4 by Garrett Wilson and 18.2 by Kyren Williams.  

Player of the week: Vikings D/ST with 34 for PP
Bench POTW : Dalton Kincaid 15.1 for ADU
NFL Picks: Gary and Boomer each go 9-6-1 while Erik maintains a 4 game lead overall.  
Potent Notables: Injuries affecting Fantasy Football keep cropping up as James Conner of KKZ and Najee Harris of RT go down for the season.  First round pick CeeDee Lamb of GC will miss 3-4 weeks. Mike Evans of MOS will miss a few games with his recurring hamstring injury.   Those are some crushing injuries for Fantasy teams as well as NFL teams. But when one door closes another opens.  Ed may immediately benefit with Omarion Hampton and George Pickens increasing their roles as well as Justin with Trey Benson thrust into a larger role.
Defenses came up big time in week 3 with Defensive and Special teams TDs and lots of blocked kicks.  Isaiah Rodgers scored two TD's for the Vikings and the Pugs!
Meanwhile the Steelers were one of the high scoring D's survive in Foxborough with 5 turnovers by the Patriots.  The offense barely cracked 200 total yards but it was enough for a win.  Now on to Dublin, Ireland for their week 4 match up with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday morning.
