Ninjas Perfect, Baked Rise: AFC Chaos at Midseason

I'm told the Mariachi Ninjas are on another planetβ€”a pristine 4-0 in their last three weeks at a league-leading 188.6 PPG and a perfect 100% all-play record. Boom. But the real story is Fullybaked's explosive climb from #5 to #2, winning two straight while Balls Deep and Drunk Indians tumble, setting up a must-see Week 3 matchup.

  1. Mariachi Ninjas are undefeated and untouchable: 100% all-play, 4-0 over the last three weeks, 188.6 PPGβ€”league sources tell me they're the class of this division.

  4. 4

    Drunk Indians 3-1

    Down 1

    Drunk Indians dropped one spot to #4 with a 76.1% all-play mark and 3-1 over the last three, but no active streak has league sources wondering about staying power.

  8. 8

    Vitside Mafia 2-2

    Midwestside Connection 3-1

    Up 3
