Next Week Preview

Hooligans
Something's got to give in Week 6, as Hooligans (2-3) go into next week riding a two-game winning streak, while their upcoming opponent (Vultures, 3-2), come in having won three straight. Hooligans may need to shuffle their lineup some with the Seattle Seahawks defense out on bye next week. Vultures will be without Drew Brees. Over the last three weeks, Hooligans have scored 126.77 points per game, while Vultures have averaged 161.65 per contest.
Steel Reign
Up ahead next week, 13th-place Steel Reign (1-4) will try to get back on track against eighth-place Warm Bodies (2-3). Steel Reign will need to account for the fact that their second-highest scorer this week, Chris Carson, has a bye in Week 6. Five weeks into the 2020 campaign, Steel Reign are ranked sixth in points scored, while Warm Bodies have put up the league's 10th-highest point total.
