Next Week Preview

Lights Kamara Action
Week 6 features two squads moving in different directions, as Lights Kamara Action (3-2) enter the matchup on a three-game winning streak, while their upcoming opponent (Bad Hombres, 1-4), have now lost two in a row. Lights Kamara Action may need to rearrange the deck a bit with Alvin Kamara and Eli Mitchell out on bye next week. Bad Hombres won't have Nick Bosa. Over the last three weeks, Lights Kamara Action have scored 244.08 points per game, while Bad Hombres have averaged only 198 per contest.
Hot Fire
The road ahead gets no easier for fourth-place Hot Fire, since they next get to face off against the league-leading Maximum Efx in Week 6. Hot Fire is surely going to miss the contributions of Deebo Samuel, who's out on bye in Week 6. Maximum Efx won't have Cordarrelle Patterson or John Franklin-Myers.
