Start

Matthew Mckay QB - Frankfurt Galaxy (3,740,000 GC)

#TheMcKayWay seems to be heading in the right direction as the Galaxy are happy they brought back the second year passer for another season in Purple. McKay’s ability to run the ball himself makes him a big time X factor as a quarterback. He’s been playing at a fringe MVP level through three weeks, taking him to put up big numbers against Cologne. 

Gerald Ameln RB - Frankfurt Galaxy (1,860,000 GC)

Sandro Platzgummer has been the star in the Galaxy's backfield, however Ameln should get more carries as the former New York Giant seems to be banged up from last week’s game. The homegrown running back is averaging 4.5 yards a carry this season and is due for a big game versus Cologne. 

Willie Patterson WR - Prague Lions (2,770,000 GC)

Willie Patterson and the Lions are headed to Wroclaw this week in a big East Division matchup. Patterson didn’t have a huge game receiving last week but did take a punt to the house as a returner. If the Lions want to take down the Panthers in an upset they need to get Patterson the ball more often. 

Bench

Russell Tabor QB - Munich Ravens (3,900,000 GC)

Tabor has played well against the Thunder, but did have two turnovers against the Raiders in week one. This week he faces his toughest task yet, hoping to lead the Ravens to a win against the Surge. Stuttgart defense has been nothing short of a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks as the Surge have 5 interceptions and 11 sacks in 3 games.

Tobias Bonatti RB -  Raiders Tirol (2,110,000 GC)

The Italian Stallion has been red hot to start the season, but football is a game of match ups. This week the Raiders go on the road to the Vienna Vikings who just beat the Rhein Fire. The Vikings defense is fast, physical, and well coached. Expect them to have Bonatti in a blender all game. 

Rory Starkey Jr WR - Rhein Fire (2,570,000 GC)

The ELF rookie receiver had his coming out party last week against the Vienna Vikings catching 12 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. However, just two weeks ago Starkey was held in check by the Paris defense as the Musketeers defensive backs allowed only 18 yards to the former Green Bay Packer.
