5 Games In: Justice League

There's a glut of three win teams in this division, four of them to be exact, but Fobulus sets themselves apart due to a tie in WK3. Amazingly, Jimmy's team is thriving despite not having one century game so far this season. They have only 33 more PF than PA but have managed to pick up strategic wins by having a winningly mediocre team. Every starter and main bench player scores in the low to mid teens and nobody tops 15 points per game (led by WR Calvin Johnson). Weird but hard to argue with its effectiveness.

There's a case to be made that Brian's Howler Monkeys are the actual cream of the crop here, as he sports a healthy plus PF/PA differential and is one of the highest scoring teams in the league. With LeSean McCoy and Austin Collie leading the way, the Monkeys have even more upside as QB Drew Brees has been a bit underwhelming. There is a lot to like about this team, especially its consistency, as they've only scored under 90 points once and are coming off two wins and two century games.

The other 3-2 teams are both in incremental decline. Snake Eyes has been scoring less and less each week after a WK1 explosion, and Antoine Dodson Hide Your Wife has been doing the exact same thing, except his decline has been after WK2. Of the two, Oliver's Antoine Dodson is in better shape as he has been a tiny bit steadier (Ryan's team put up a sterling 45 points last week) and his under the radar trade for RB Michael Bush will give him a ground game to go along with his impressively balanced passing attack of Indianapolis receivers Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark. Snake Eyes has the opposite problem: No consistent receivers and someone named Aaron Hernandez starting at TE. Chad Ochocinco's 12.2 point average is deceiving as he's yet to break double digits after a 33 point opening week. Peyton Manning has been great but he can't do it all by himself. Rumors swirl that either Matt Forte or Ahmad Bradshaw could be on the move.

Canadian Bacon (2-2-1) and Gangsta Wangsta (2-3) have both have been pounded by rough scheduling. Adam's team is actually a team to keep an eye on as they've scored three century games and are coming off a great win last week. Featuring the fastest running back tandem in the game, Chris Johnson and Jahvid Best, the Canadians also have deep threat DeSean Jackson to stretch the field (well he's only great when Vick is behind center). If Randy Moss can help Brett Favre's numbers, we see this team on the rise. It's actually a shock that there's no backup QB to Favre on this roster, as he's been pretty bad so far this season.

How about that Kyle Orton! The Denver QB is the third best in the land and he's outperformed his thirteenth round draft position by about fifty country miles. Orton throws to Brandon Marshall, Steve Smith, and Donald Driver, who have all been very solid this season. What Victor's team is desperately seeking is another running back to complement Steven Jackson, as Jerome Harrison and Brandon Jacobs are pretty much waiver wire fodder. Still, the Wangstas are facing off with the two worst teams in the league in successive weeks so they could vault themselves back up to respectability soon.

One of those worst teams is Team Olivia, who isn't technically the worst, but it's pretty close. Franchise QB Aaron Rodgers has been quite good and there is some erratic explosion in the passing game but what plagues this team is the gaping hole at the second running back position. Jonathan Stewart, Felix Jones, Willis McGahee, and Clinton Portis have been all but invisible and although ploughhorse Cedric Benson has been dependable, he's still just one man. A good WK5 from Cedric Benson, Michael Crabtree, and Jeremy Maclin point to better things, hopefully. Actually there's a possibility that Olivia isn't even paying attention as her transaction history shows no movements whatsoever, lineup changes or otherwise...
