- Los Diablos - Okay, I get it now. The Diablos are leasing the league, at least until the Cowboys/Cardinals game ends, at which point Los Diablos are likely to taste defeat for the first time this season. They had a meh week 1 and walloped Air Matt fairly decisively before probably falling in week 3. In fact, the most impressive thing about the Diablos season so far is that they're likely to be one of the few teams to start Todd Gurley in week 3 yet still lose their game.
- Orion River Horses - Will probably hold on to remain the league's sole unbeaten team at the end of the week. As usual, the River Horses haven't been particularly impressive; rather they've just faced weak opposition, notching a 58.2 - 44.9 victory over Jody before likely beating his hapless brother Kevin in with a mediocre score in week 3.
- Air Matt - Matt started out his participation in TTFFL in convincing fashion in week 1, outscoring the next highest-scoring team in the league by more than 13 points. He has since fallen into mediocrity, though, falling to the league-leading Diablos during their one high-scoring week in week 2, and well on his way to losing to the hapless Eagles by more than 30 points this week.
- Suspended Atomnation - Our defending champion has been all over the map in this short season, scoring only 50.2 points in a week 1 loss to the Leviathans before more than doubling that total to whip up on Merrill in week 2. He's currently getting his ass handed to him in his week 3 matchup against Team Harbaughs, but that might be due to the fact that he has 3 Cowboys left to play (or maybe not --- Dallas looks like crap so far).
- Strike Team - Meh. He was unfortunate enough to run into the Air Matt buzzsaw week 1, fortunate enough to pick up a win in week 2, and unfortunate enough to suck so badly in week 3 that he's about to lose to Merrill. Only two of Aaron's players --- in his starting lineup OR on his bench --- managed to score more than 10 points this week (and only three of them managed to score more than SIX). Yuck.
- Leviathans - Oh crap. With strong performances in weeks 1 and 3, Levi is likely to move into second place overall at the end of this week, meaning that we'll have Trumbores in BOTH of the top two positions. And do any of us really want to live in a world where that's possible?
- Golden Graham's - Kevin is having a very Kevin-y sort of a season. He came into this week 1-1, and is going to lose to an otherwise very beatable River Horses team, because Tom Brady had an epic game which contributed more than half of Pete's 67.3 points this week.
- Air Apparent - Speaking of typical seasons, Taylor is underperforming as usual. Despite having Zeke Elliott AND Antonio Brown on his team, he's still just 1-1 coming into the week, and looks like he'll just barely sneak past Kubicek this week to get into the mix for second place. Or maybe not.
- Screaming Eagles - And continuing the pattern of typical seasons, Jason somehow managed to come out of the draft with few players most of us would recognize as studs, and those few studs he has (Ajayi, Howard --- and Cousins? Maybe?) have underperformed). And yet, he looks poised to collect his second win on the season, catching Levi and Air Matt on down weeks.
- Team Harbaughs - Despite scoring almost no points, Jody is on the cusp of notching his second win of the season, mostly because the Cowboys (and thus Adam) are sucking so very, very badly right now.
- Merrill - His team sucks. Dear Lord, does it suck. He's not even averaging 47 points per game, and his best player (LeVeon Bell) came into the week ranked 37th overall. In spite of his exaggerated quantities of sucking, he's about to taste victory for the first time this season, because for one week, Aaron sucked more.
And --- that pretty much covers it for week 1 in the TTFFL. I hope you enjoyed it, Kubicek! Just don't expect me to whip out a league update on demand every week!
