Even though our Legacy team has nothing to with our success it would be pretty interesting to see how we do versus our legacy teams this year.

Week 2 Recap

Week 2 is in the books!

This week was marred by devastating injuries. Will those injuries end up costing a team the season? The Voyageurs and Hammerheads had great performances spoiled by Milwaukee and Tennessee respectively. The Scorpions almost pulled out a win despite only having one running back on their roster. And we had a number of really close games.

Weeks 1 and 2 were against division rivals. Weeks 3 through 5 are against teams from another division. This year it is the North v Central and the South v. West. We will get to Week 3's previews and the power rankings tomorrow.

Week 2 Scores

Brawlers 172 - Nightriders 95
Reapers 112 - Beavers 102

Knockout Tournament

In only week 3 we are down to our final four. The injury riddled Emperors and Destroyers ended the runs for Dire Bear and Rugrat. The Brawlers' 171 points and 77 point victory secured wins for Sevsdast and Dan O'Mac. The Scarecrows helped JamHeron while the Bandits advanced Steelman.

As always your picks need to be submitted prior to the Dolphins-Jags game on Thursday night.

Well, I might need to have an ALTFL Franchise because I'm playing so good in the Knockout!

I think you're sleeping on K Younghoe Koo's 17 point performance this week for my Galactics. Kept me in the game this week.

Haha very true. I decided not to include kickers because in week 1 we had an 8 way tie for first place. Maybe moving forward we'll have a special segment for the kicker.

Always good to get the first win of the season, especially against a divisional rival on MNF. The red/red/white combo did us some good this week, maybe it'll be my lucky combo. We'll see how it goes. Absolute beastly performance by Cam, my pick is looking real good unless he gets injured (in addition, my condolences to Dan for losing CMC, both you and I are not happy about it). Very, very frustrated with my defense, but fortunately Toronto didn't play two guys and I snuck out with a win. I'll be looking to possibly bolster my D, if anyone has an interest in my players let me know.

Let's turn our attention to Week 3 of the AltFL Season. The schedule now shifts from Division Rivalries to Interleague play. This week the North and South Divisions will be home to the Central and West Divisions. Next week it switches.

Here are the power rankings courtesy of Jam Heron. Below that are this week's matchups. I didn't include the spreads this week because some people haven't set their lineups yet therefore they would be skewed.

Make sure you set your lineups and make every attempt to have a player in each roster position.

Good luck in week 3!

Man, 2nd most points in the league, but 17th in the rankings. Ugh.
