Burger Buddies 8-2-1 Top 5 - 8 Weeks

Winners of 7 of their last 8. No team hotter. One final test before playoffs as they look to lock in the BYE with a win over MM in week 12.

Have quietly won three in a row. Made the bold move to get Baker Mayfield to solidify their back up QB spot to go with returning team health. Likely only need 1 more win to make playoffs in back to back seasons for the first time in 20 years.

Memphis Brothers 6-5 Top 3 - 12 Weeks

Wow, what a flurry of moves by Bri as he tries to get the Brothers over the hump and win their first title. Brothers become first team to ever head into a draft having no draft picks. Laporta and London injuries are concerning.

Just when you think you can avoid Josh Allen in the YFFL playoffs here come the Refugees back from the dead with their 4th straight win.

Asian Orangutangs 6-5 Top 5 - 5 Weeks

Prescott just missed Lamb on 4th down late in the 4th quarter on a wide open TD that would have completed the comeback attempt vs the Chickens. Would have been huge for the 'Tangs playoff hopes. Tough sledding ahead this week with all their Broncos on BYE.

What a massive CHOKE JOB by Herbert and the Mallards. Probably have to win out to make playoffs.

Huskers, Mallards, and Brothers all vying to join teams like the 2013 Brothers, 2019 Huskers, 2014 Brothers as teams to absolutely go off all season scoring points but miss the playoffs.

Really happy for Llamas to get that TD on Monday night after having Barkley lose his TD on Sunday night followed by a tush push the next play.

I guess if no one wants the NFC East crown the White Guys will just take it. Been really lucky all season and now catch Dragons with JaMarr Chase suspended.

So JT scores like a QB and JJ scores like a RB. Got it.

Chickens are trying to miss the playoffs and can't seem to pull it off. Winning is just in the franchise DNA at this point.

TreVeyon Henderson with a late push for Rookie of the Year. Egbuka who??

While the asking price for Stafford was a bit rich for everyone, perhaps keeping him was best as the Beans appear headed for the Stupor Bowl Playoffs.

Cam Skattebo was great on WWE Raw or whatever it's called these days.

Where the F@#K did that scoring outburst come from??

Dragons vs Bear was actually probably the most entertaining YFFL game this past week. Dragons came back to take the lead on three FGs Monday night, only to have Tre Tucker score for the Bear to win it in the end.
