And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 4:

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Spiked Vipers
Lamar Jackson is sure scoring a lot of points on SpiVi's bench. Does he finally get into the starting lineup this week? The CAPS are currently in last place and searching for a victory this season. There are a lot of red letters next to their reserves, but things are setting up for a big MNF comeback.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Lightning
The Preds finally picked up their first win since the SuperBowl and they did it by outscoring the whole league. If they can get another W here they'll leapfrog the Bolts in the division, but it's going to be close.

Renegades (-1) vs. Stiletto Stompers
This is usually a fun rivalry game, but probably not this time around. It's looking like the Stompers are starting James Conner tonight despite his being on IR for the rest of the season. And that's not their only problem as it's looking like the Renegades will roll through the divisional games undefeated.

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
It starts tonight but this game will stretch throughout week four. In fact the 'Bums have a player going during all 7 game times. And both teams have (more) reasons to tune in to the Steelers in Ireland on Sunday morning.

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
Not only have the Marauders scored more than 100 points in each game so far, but they've put up almost 80 more total points than our second place team. Plus a win against the winless Corporation would make it 10 regular season victories in a row. Wow.

And the game of the week...

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
It's 3-0 against 0-3 but this matchup will be closer than you might think. The Brew Crew can definitely pull an upset this week, especially with the injury situation and RB choices facing the 'Morons. And the Super Bowl LIX QB matchup will make it even more fun.

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S25:Week 3)

3FL Notes: S25: Week 3 Preview

Our first week of divisional games was not any closer than our opening week. In fact the average margin of victory was five points higher than in week 1. But two teams scored more than 100 points and the Marauders outscored everyone again.

Week 2 Recap

Top Scoring 3FL Team: Marauders - 136 points

Player MVPs:
Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR/Det/M) - 29 points
Malik Nabers (WR/NYG/MI) - 28 points
Jonathan Taylor (RB/Ind/M) - 27 points

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 3:

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.

This one is going to be close. The 'Bums have the edge at RB and that might be enough to overcome the FitzCorp WR corps. But we won't know until MNF.

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
The Marauders are riding an 8 game regular season winning streak and have outscored the league in both weeks this season. That's pretty good, but it will be even more impressive if they can do it again against PEP and all those RBs with double digit projections.

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Lightning

The winner of this one will remain undefeated and be all alone atop the East Division. The Bolts can get off to a quick start tonight but both teams will end with a player on MNF. After they're forced to watch Mahomes take the field for the 'Morons on Sunday night.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers

This is no way to start a title defense. The Preds are 0-2 and in 10th place after our first two weeks. Meanwhile the Brew Crew is also winless so far and they're currently in 11th. At least someone will get their first victory this week.

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers

Both of these teams are also without a win and the Stompers are in last place at the moment. It's looking like they might stay there, too, as they're currently ~20 point underdogs in this matchup of backup QBs.

And the game of the week...

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Spiked Vipers

They're even at 2-0 and both have scored exactly 174 points through two weeks. The winner will take hold of the West and be among the top three in the league. Can SpiVi stay undefeated with the top scoring player on the bench yet again? Or will it come down to the health of two Packers in Coach Val's lineup?

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S25:Week 2)

3FL Notes: S25: Week 2 Preview

The league kicked off our 25th year with a low scoring week one that saw only a single team in triple digits. Our average margin of victory was more than 22 points.

Things should get more competitive as the first set of intradivisional games starts this week. Make sure your team is ready!

Josh Allen (QB/Buf/R) - 34 points

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 2:

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Predacons
This should be a good matchup. But the Preds need to get more than 6 total points from their RBs this week if they want a chance at not starting 0-2. Perhaps they'll see a little Monday Night magic?

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
The Marauders were the only team to eclipse 100 points last week (despite their D draft grade). But this week they're facing the 'Bums and the highest projected score in the league. Literally all of Coach Coaldog's players are active in the 1pm games on Sunday, so perhaps the comeback starts at 4:15pm?

Renegades (-1) vs. the HAW
We'll know a lot more after tonight's game (available only on Amazon Prime Video!) when 5 combined players are active. Then everyone will have to wait until early Tuesday morning EDT to see how the final 3 players did in the late MNF matchup.

Lightning (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
A win is a win, even if your team is the lowest scoring victor in a week. The Bolts will take it, but they'll likely need more points for a victory here. Unless the Brew Crew has another sub-55 week.

Stiletto Stompers (-1/2) vs. Spiked Vipers
Scoring the fewest points and being in last place is no way to start a season. But the Stompers have a chance at a rebound against SpiVi and their packed QB room. We'll just have to wait until the combined 7 players in prime time sort out the final score.

And the game of the week...

Misfits, Inc. (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
One of these teams will pick up their first win after this game. Or maybe we'll end up with a tie? It's going to be a good one, with everything coming down to Bucky Irving on MNF for a PEP comeback.

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S25:Week 1)

3FL Notes: S25: Week 1 Preview

Can the Predacons defend the title after their first ever championship victory? Or will we have a new name on the trophy for a second year in a row? And can you believe we're kicking off our 25th season of fantasy football??

It all starts tonight. Get your team ready to go!

And remember, there is also a Friday Night game this week in São Paulo, Brazil. Vamos então!

Friday Night: Kansas City Chiefs @ Los Angeles Chargers

Bye Week: None until week 5

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 1:
The first week is always the toughest to predict, but here goes...

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Marauders
This one won't really start until tomorrow night when they combine to watch five players in Brazil. The CAPS should come out on top, but it will be closer than Yahoo thinks.

Spiked Vipers (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
Seems like it's going to be a difficult choice for SpiVi at QB every week. But it's even more interesting this week as both of their signal callers play against each other on Sunday Night. That choice could be the difference in this tight matchup.

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1) vs. Baltimorons
Mahomes and the 'Morons will be active in all four game days this week. That will make it fun, but the projections heavily favor PEP (and their A+ draft grade). Still, it will be hard to rule out a MNF comeback.

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
So many Eagles are playing in the NFL opener that the winner might be clear before midnight tonight. And they're all on the Brew Crew's side. The 'Bums have the slightest edge here because of their RB tandem, unless Kaleb Johnson surprises us all.

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Predacons
The Preds begin their title defense with a chance for an early lead with players active tonight and tomorrow night. But Coach Val has the lone player on MNF to end the week. And it's Justin Jefferson.

And the game of the week...

Lightning (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
Our first GOTW is a toss up. Either team could win as things are pretty even across the board. It could come down to McCaffrey's injury or a FLEX performance. Or maybe we'll just end up with a tie?

Good luck in Week 1 and for the rest of Season 25!

3FL Notes: 2025 Draft Analysis

Eleven of our twelve teams were represented during the online draft on Wednesday night. Here is an analysis of the results (in draft order):

1. Yuengling Brewers: After selecting the consensus #1 pick the Brew Crew added a LOT of Eagles. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But they're a little light at RB. Grade: C (Yahoo! Grade: D+)

2. Phys. Ed. Phenoms: The Best Draft Award went to PEP for the third time in their eleven 3FL drafts, but I'm not quite seeing it. They have a solid team, sure, and maybe taking a flyer on a WR with a six game suspension will work out. But that QB situation should drop them down a touch. Grade: A- (Yahoo! Grade: A+)

3. the HAW: I would have awarded the best draft to the CAPS this year. Solid from top to bottom, and the best K and Defense in the rankings. They just have to hope the starters stay healthy. Grade: A (Yahoo! Grade: B-)

4. Predacons: Jahmyr Gibbs is in the backfield again for the defending champs, which should be helpful. But they also repeated their classic draft strategy, waiting too long for a QB. Grade: B- (Yahoo! Grade: C)

5. Dumbbums: Coach Coaldog pulled an A- this year and I feel like that's just about right. The AFC North is very well represented, making up five starters and six players overall. Grade: A- (Yahoo! Grade: A-)

6. Renegades: It's not as bad for the Renegades as the report card would have you believe. They'll be fine, especially if their stars can shine. Grade: C (Yahoo! Grade: D+)

7. Baltimorons: CeeDee Lamb and Puka and Mahomes should rank a team above average I'd think. There are some troublemakers on the bench though. Grade: C+ (Yahoo! Grade: C+)

8. Marauders: This team is quite good until you get to the FLEX spot. Coach Hoss is going to have to make some tough decisions there. Plus his K might not be kicking in week 1. Grade: C- (Yahoo! Grade: D)

9. Stiletto Stompers: Coach Bev's squad seems to be right down the middle. Some good, some bad, some that we'll have to wait and see. Grade: C (Yahoo! Grade: B-)

10. Lightning: There is lots to like for the Bolts. They'll need some of the players to return to glory, but they've chosen a solid overall team. As long as you're ok watching Kyler Murray under center. Grade: A- (Yahoo! Grade: A+)

11. Misfits, Inc.: Our only team that was fully autodrafted by Yahoo! received the worst draft grade by Yahoo!? Hmm. Perhaps they should have picked different guys, or at least not made Coach Tim-A root for Dak. Grade: D+ (Yahoo! Grade: D-)

12. Spiked Vipers: So SpiVi went with Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson back-to-back at the first turn. I'm still trying to decipher that strategy since it seemed to bring down all the other positions. But maybe after a trade (or something?) it will become more clear. Grade: D+ (Yahoo! Grade: D)

The Comm-nosticator makes his first predictions soon. Stay tuned.
