Next Week Preview

Dirty 54
In a showdown between teams separated by just a game in the standings, Dirty 54 (3-2) are set to battle LIONPWR (4-1) in Week 6.

Over the last two weeks, Dirty 54 have scored 223.1 points per game, while LIONPWR have averaged 191.08 per contest.
The Overkiller's
The schedule gets no easier for sixth-place The Overkiller's, considering they now have the privilege of facing off against first-place Stay Cappin in Week 6. Each side has multiple bye weeks to consider in Week 6, as Davante Adams, Derek Carr, and Darren Waller are off for Stay Cappin and Treylon Burks and D'Andre Swift are scheduled to be off for The Overkiller's.
