Now for the top ten WR by yardage as of right now. Going to do TE separately since there are so many this year, while skipping RB since there's only two in the top 50.

Been a minute since I've done, well, much of anything, so let's do a few quick roundups of the league's top performers so far!
We'll start off with pass rushers. As always look out for the trends for the type of players who get the most sacks.

CMU runs out of time, kick is no good, EMU runs to end the clock, so we'll go to halftime with the score sitting at a lopsided 21-6.

CMU with ANOTHER big play, 1st and 10 from the 32, just beating the doors off their lesser in state rivals.
Eastern has the worst defense I’ve ever seen

End of the first, CMU has dominated Eastern, has not been as close as the 14-3 score would suggest.

EMU with a questionable 3rd down play call in the red zone followed by a personal foul.
Forced to kick, 42 yard FG is good. 14-3.

Since we've got final rosters set in for 2025 to start the season, it's time to rank the rosters by #RAS!
Few surprises if you've been following me for any length of time, but that's why we do these, for fun!
Note, the 2024 comps are from END season, so won't line up with last year PRE rankings.

Here are 800 words on that move, including a look at split salaries, per diem payments, RAS scores (h/t @mathbomb.bsky.social), and a whole lot more.
