Start’Em

QB Jadrian Clark - Nordic Storm (3,700 GC)

The former MVP threw 5 touchdowns last week and looks like he hasn’t missed a beat in 2025. This week he and the Storm will look to put on a show in the Storm’s historic home opener against the Thunder. Expect Clark to throw for big yards in this one. 

RB Tobias Bonatti - Raiders Tirol (2,120 GC)

The "Italian Stallion" put up 3 scores and 185 yards on only 16 carries last week averaging over 11 yards a run. Expect the raiders to pound the rock against the Centurions as quarterback Connor Miller continues to recover after taking a big hit last week. 

WR Willie Patterson - Prague Lions  (2,700 GC)

Make no mistake this is a must win game for the Lions. They line up across an Enthroners team starting a homegrown quarterback. Look for them to get the ball into Patterson’s hands early and often as he’s their simply their best player. 

Sit’Em

Sandro Platzgummer - Frankfurt Galaxy (2,610 GC)

Platzgummer is coming off of a career game versus the Bravos. However, this week's opponent is a totally different story. Running backs have had a really tough time against the Paris defense which just shut out the Surge.  

QB Chad Jeffries - Rhein Fire (4,020 GC)

Are the Rhein Fire cooling off? Or is it just early season football? Either way they face off against a Vikings team that has spent the last 8 months thinking about this rematch. I expect the purple defense to show out and make things tough for Jeffries and the Rhein Fire. 

WR Keelan Cole - Helvetic Mercenaries (2,420 GC)

I know what you are thinking. Alex! Didn’t you start him last week? Yes, I did. But as Socrates once said “I know that I know nothing.” Cole hasn’t been the playmaker Mercenaries fans were hoping for through two weeks of play for a variety of reasons. Hopefully coach Herford can get the NFL vet going in week 3.
