Week 3 brought a scoring explosion from Joe, a close escape for Denise, and a shakeup at the top. Only two AFC teams remain undefeated\u2014and five more are right behind them at 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NO Kneelers make a statement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Joe\u2019s NO Kneelers piled up 164.48 points<\/strong>, the highest score across both Soleil leagues this week, defeating Steve\u2019s Let\u2019s Go!!, 97.08. The 67.40-point margin<\/strong> was also the AFC\u2019s largest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joe jumped from seventh to third and now leads the AFC in season scoring with 398.82 points<\/strong>. With a team name like NO Kneelers, apparently letting up wasn\u2019t an option. Steve fell to 0-3 despite posting a score that would have won two other AFC matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jim\u2019s Fantasy Force takes first place<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jim Kappes\u2019s Fantasy Force defeated Deb\u2019s Gray-t Gridiron 117.54\u201393.04<\/strong>, improving to 3-0<\/strong> and taking over first place. Deb suffered her first loss and slipped to seventh in the crowded 2-1 group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The commissioner is now atop the standings. We\u2019ll assume the league office has reviewed this and found no evidence of preferential treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pigskins stay perfect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Diane\u2019s Pigskins beat Brian\u2019s Brown Paper Baggers 84.08\u201368.16<\/strong>, joining Jim as the AFC\u2019s only undefeated teams. Diane sits in second place at 3-0<\/strong>, just 6.82 season points behind Jim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It wasn\u2019t the week\u2019s biggest offensive showcase, but wins count the same whether they come with fireworks or a paper bag. Brian remains in search of his first victory at 0-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Denise wins the closest matchup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Touchdown Dance Denise edged Angie\u2019s Tipsy Tacklers 113.64\u2013107.62<\/strong>. The 6.02-point margin<\/strong> made this the closest finish in either Soleil league this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Denise improved to 2-1 and moved into fourth place. Angie took her first loss and landed in fifth, also at 2-1. This time, Denise got the touchdown dance; Angie got the \u201cif only\u201d lineup review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Motor City Cats get on the board<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rick\u2019s Motor City Cats earned their first win, beating Out of My Way Dave 112.30\u2013101.74<\/strong>. Rick climbed from tenth to eighth, while Dave slipped to ninth. Both teams now stand at 1-2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Cats are finally out of the starting gate\u2014and the rest of the AFC has been warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Richard makes it two straight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Overtime RICHARD defeated Sheila \/ Mitch\u2019s Brooke View Trailblazers 85.96\u201373.76<\/strong>, improving to 2-1<\/strong> with a second consecutive win. No overtime required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Trailblazers remain at 0-3, but there\u2019s still plenty of season left to find a new route up the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Player spotlight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jahmyr Gibbs topped Yahoo\u2019s player highlights with 37.9 fantasy points<\/strong>\u2014the kind of performance ev<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Week 3 brought a scoring explosion from Joe, a close escape for Denise, and a shakeup at the top.
