Division 5B

The Road to the Playoffs: Standout Performers, Power Rankings & Game Predictions

by FPF NEWS Wednesday, February 26, 2025 - 03:04:31

Breaking Down the Top Quarterbacks of the Season:

Émile Bolullo (Dragon Magique)

Since joining the league in Winter 2022, Émile Bolullo is starting to make name for himself. Already a one-time All-Star, he has led Dragon Magique to a 4-2-1 record while ranking near the top of the league in passing touchdowns (27). His aggressive downfield passing (10.6 yards per completion) has made him a dangerous playmaker. However, with 8 interceptions, he still takes risks—something he’ll need to manage as the playoffs approach.

Raphaël Caron (Les Super Turbo Navets)

Despite not yet earning any awards, Raphaël Caron has shown that he belongs among the top quarterbacks in the division. Since joining in Spring 2023, he has quickly become a key piece for Les Super Turbo Navets, keeping them above .500 and in the playoff mix. His 24 touchdowns are among the league’s best, though his 10 interceptions have been a challenge. As he continues to develop, Caron will need to focus on limiting turnovers to help his team make a deep run.

Xavier Delisle (Les Mangeux de Beignes)

Xavier Delisle is making an immediate impact in his first season. Les Mangeux de Beignes lead the division in scoring (233 points), and much of that is thanks to Delisle’s efficient passing and playmaking ability. His 10.7 yards per completion proves that he’s comfortable throwing downfield, and his 20 touchdowns in five games highlight his ability to finish drives. If he continues this level of play, Delisle could be a serious contender for QBOY honors and his team could be a dark horse in the playoffs.

William Richard (Crashout Boyz)

William Richard is still new to FPF but is already developing a nice deep ball. His 11.1 yards per completion lead this group, showing his ability to stretch the field and make big plays. His Crashout Boyz sit at 4-2, positioning themselves for a strong playoff push. While Richard is still adjusting to the league, his early success suggests that he has the potential to quickly become one of the top quarterbacks.

Noah Lieblein (Gooners)

Since joining in Winter 2022, Noah Lieblein is becoming a smart, efficient quarterback. Unlike some of the other passers on this list, his game isn’t about taking deep shots—his 8.7 yards per completion is the lowest here—but instead, he focuses on mistake-free football. His 4 interceptions are the fewest of any QB in this group, and with his Gooners sitting at 5-0, it’s clear that his steady approach is working. Lieblein isn’t just putting up numbers; he’s winning games, and that could be the biggest factor in a deep playoff run.

This group of quarterbacks is shaping the league’s playoff picture, with some leading high-powered offenses and others bringing efficient, mistake-free play. Bolullo and Delisle are pushing their teams with aggressive playmaking, while Lieblein’s composure has kept the Gooners undefeated. Richard and Caron continue to improve and make their mark in the league. As we approach the final stretch of the season, these quarterbacks will be the ones to watch as they try to lead their teams to a championship.

The Top Wide Receivers Dominating this Season:

Joe Morgese (Pasta Arrabiat)

📊 35 REC | 363 YDS | 10 TDs | 10.4 Yards/Rec
🏆 Team Record: 5-1-0 | 2nd in the Standings
🎖️ 4x All-Star | 3x Award Winner
🕰️ First Season: Winter 2017

Joe Morgese is one of the most decorated wide receivers in the league, with four All-Star appearances and three individual awards to his name. Since joining in Winter 2017, he has built a reputation as a consistent, reliable target and is showing no signs of slowing down. With 35 receptions, 363 yards, and 10 touchdowns, he’s been the top receiver on a Pasta Arrabiat team that currently sits in 2nd place. If his strong production continues, he could be in the conversation for another award-winning season.

Charles Beauchemin (Dragon Magique)

📊 16 REC | 219 YDS | 9 TDs | 13.7 Yards/Rec
🏆 Team Record: 4-2-1 | 6th in the Standings
🕰️ Joined in Winter 2022

Since joining in Winter 2022, Charles Beauchemin has proven to be a big-play receiver, averaging 13.7 yards per catch. Despite having just 16 receptions, he has already found the end zone 9 times, making him one of the league’s most efficient scorers. His ability to stretch the field and create explosive plays has been key for Dragon Magique, who are in a strong playoff position at 4-2-1. If he continues his high-efficiency scoring, he could be one of the most dangerous weapons down the stretch.

Thomas Coulombe (Big TDs)

📊 18 REC | 193 YDS | 9 TDs | 10.7 Yards/Rec
🏆 Team Record: 5-1-0 | 4th in the Standings

Thomas Coulombe has made an immediate impact in his first season, becoming a go-to target for Big TDs. His 9 touchdowns in just five games show that he’s a trusted red-zone option, while his 10.7 yards per reception prove he can move the chains. With Big TDs currently 5-1-0, Coulombe has stepped up in a major way, helping them compete at the top of the standings. If he continues his strong rookie campaign, he could be in line for potential postseason recognition.

Vincent Bolullo (Les Super Turbo Navets)

📊 19 REC | 193 YDS | 8 TDs | 10.2 Yards/Rec
🏆 Team Record: 4-3-0 | 11th in the Standings

He continues to deliver for Les Super Turbo Navets, recording 8 touchdowns in six games while averaging 10.2 yards per reception. While his team is currently 4-3-0 and fighting for a playoff spot, Bolullo’s experience and ability to come up big in crucial moments could make all the difference as the season progresses.

Charles Grenier (Les Super Turbo Navets)

📊 17 REC | 253 YDS | 8 TDs | 14.9 Yards/Rec
🏆 Team Record: 4-3-0 | 11th in the Standings
🕰️ Joined in Winter 2024

His 14.9 yards per reception is the highest among the top five receivers, showing his ability to create big plays. With 8 touchdowns in six games, he has quickly become a key weapon for Les Super Turbo Navets, who are looking to solidify their playoff spot. If he continues at this pace, he could be a rising star to watch in future seasons.

Game Previews

Sunday, March 2 – 17:00

📍 Laval (Dome) [1]
🏈 Mighty Ducks (4-1-0) vs. Gooners (5-0-0)
📝 Prediction: Gooners

The Gooners are one of the few undefeated teams (5-0-0), and quarterback Noah Lieblein has been a huge reason why, leading a high-efficiency offense with 20 TDs and just 4 INTs. Meanwhile, the Mighty Ducks (4-1-0) are having a great season but haven’t faced an elite opponent like the Gooners yet. If Lieblein continues to play mistake-free football, the Gooners should stay undefeated in what could be a tightly contested matchup.

Sunday, March 2 – 21:00

📍 Stade Hebert [2]
🏈 Chicken Littles (1-3-0) vs. Kicking Assets (1-6-0)
📝 Prediction: Chicken Littles

Both teams have struggled this season, with Kicking Assets sitting at 1-6-0 and allowing 223 points (worst in the league). The Chicken Littles (1-3-0) haven’t fared much better, but they’ve had more competitive performances. With Kicking Assets struggling on both sides of the ball, the Chicken Littles should take advantage and pick up a much-needed win.

Sunday, March 2 – 23:00

📍 Stade Hebert [1]
🏈 Big TDs (5-1-0) vs. Demons (3-1-0)
📝 Prediction: Big TDs

This is shaping up to be a great matchup, as both teams have been highly competitive this season. Big TDs (5-1-0) have one of the most dangerous offenses (197 PF, 2nd most in the league), and receiver Thomas Coulombe (9 TDs in 5 games) has been a reliable playmaker. The Demons (3-1-0) have a solid defense, but they may not be able to slow down the high-powered attack of Big TDs. Expect a close game, but Big TDs have the offensive edge.

Monday, March 3 – 22:00

📍 Stade Hebert [3]
🏈 Dirty Dogs (3-2-0) vs. Maccabees (3-1-0)
📝 Prediction: Maccabees

Both teams have winning records and are fighting for strong playoff positioning. The Maccabees (3-1-0) have allowed just 85 points (one of the best defenses in the league), while the Dirty Dogs (3-2-0) have been solid but inconsistent. If the Maccabees’ defense holds strong, they should be able to come away with the win.

Monday, March 3 – 22:00

📍 Stade Hebert [2]
🏈 No Punt Intented (4-2-0) vs. Pasta Arrabiat (5-1-0)
📝 Prediction: Pasta Arrabiat

Pasta Arrabiat has been one of the best teams this season, sitting at 5-1-0, and receiver Joe Morgese has been dominant with 10 TDs and 35 receptions. No Punt Intented (4-2-0) have been solid, but they don’t match the firepower of Pasta Arrabiat. With Morgese leading the way, Pasta Arrabiat should continue their strong season with another win.

Monday, March 3 – 22:00

📍 BeauChateau Sportplex [1]
🏈 Sleeping Nobody (2-4-0) vs. Momma’s Favourite (0-7-0)
📝 Prediction: Sleeping Nobody

Momma’s Favourite (0-7-0) have struggled all season, allowing 266 points (second-worst in the league). Sleeping Nobody (2-4-0) hasn’t been great, but they’ve been more competitive. If they can execute efficiently, they should be able to hand Momma’s Favourite another loss.

Monday, March 3 – 23:00

📍 CSJV [3]
🏈 Hard Knocks (0-3-0) vs. FLAG DEALERS (0-6-0)
📝 Prediction: Hard Knocks

This game features two winless teams looking for their first victory. The FLAG DEALERS (0-6-0) have allowed 198 points (one of the worst defensive teams), while Hard Knocks (0-3-0) have played fewer games but have at least been competitive. Hard Knocks should be able to take advantage of FLAG DEALERS’ struggling defense and get their first win.

Wednesday, March 5 – 22:00

📍 Stade Hebert [1]
🏈 Ducks (5-0-0) vs. Sour Puss (3-2-0)
📝 Prediction: Ducks

The Ducks (5-0-0) are undefeated and have the league’s best defense (only 78 points allowed in 5 games). Sour Puss (3-2-0) is a solid team, but they will struggle against the Ducks’ dominant defense. Expect the Ducks to stay unbeaten with another defensive showcase.

Thursday, March 6 – 19:00

📍 CSJV [2]
🏈 Ducks (5-0-0) vs. Crashout Boyz (4-2-0)
📝 Prediction: Ducks

This is one of the biggest matchups of the week, as Crashout Boyz (4-2-0) have been strong, led by QB William Richard (20 TDs, 11.1 Yards/Comp). However, the Ducks have been the best team in the league, and their defense has been nearly impossible to score against. If their defensive unit can keep Richard in check, they should be able to remain undefeated.
