The Quarterbacks

Bleue Dry 7.1 – Frédéric Juneau

Grade: A+
7 GP, 164 ATT, 111 COMP, 1,586 YDS, 35 TD, 6 INT, 5 SK, 67.7% COMP, 14.3 YDS/COMP, 123.1 QB Rating

Why A+?

  • Bleue Dry sits first in the standings at 7-2-0
  • Juneau leads the league in touchdown passes (35)
  • Excellent yards per completion (14.3) — shows he’s making big plays
  • Only 6 interceptions despite high usage
  • 123.1 QB rating — among the best in the league

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • None
    Juneau is the engine of Bleue Dry’s offense. His combination of volume, efficiency, and explosiveness puts him at the top tier.

Five Guys – Jared Buck

Grade: A
5 GP, 140 ATT, 94 COMP, 1,063 YDS, 20 TD, 5 INT, 3 SK, 67.1% COMP, 11.3 YDS/COMP, 114.4 QB Rating

Why A?

  • 5-2 team record with Buck leading the charge
  • 20 TDs in just 5 games — top-tier pace
  • Strong efficiency (67.1% COMP), low sack total
  • 11.3 yards per completion shows he’s stretching the field

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Slightly lower total volume due to only playing 5 games
    Buck has been phenomenal when on the field. He’s played like a top QB, but with fewer games than others, he just misses A+ status.

CTE – Alessandro Barazzoni

Grade: A-
8 GP, 237 ATT, 165 COMP, 1,946 YDS, 31 TD, 11 INT, 13 SK, 69.6% COMP, 11.8 YDS/COMP, 114.6 QB Rating

Why A-?

  • Massive yardage leader (1,946 yards in 8 games)
  • Excellent completion rate (69.6%) and great production
  • 31 TDs is elite

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • 11 interceptions — one of the highest among top QBs
  • 13 sacks is also too high
    Barazzoni is one of the most productive QBs in the league, but the mistakes (INTs, sacks) hold him back from a higher grade.

X-Men – Noah Swaminadhan

Grade: A+
7 GP, 211 ATT, 147 COMP, 1,576 YDS, 29 TD, 3 INT, 19 SK, 69.7% COMP, 10.7 YDS/COMP, 124.9 QB Rating

Why A+?

  • Best TD-INT ratio among starters (29 TD to just 3 INT)
  • Highest completion rate among full-time QBs (69.7%)
  • Excellent QB rating (124.9)
  • Great volume and efficiency combined

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • 19 sacks — most in the division
    Despite the pressure he’s taken, Swaminadhan’s numbers are phenomenal. He’s a top-tier decision-maker and a big reason for X-Men’s success.

Quebec U16A – Keenan Lahens

Grade: B
7 GP, 51 ATT, 35 COMP, 445 YDS, 6 TD, 5 INT, 2 SK, 68.6% COMP, 12.7 YDS/COMP, 95.3 QB Rating

Why B?

  • Efficient in a smaller role: 68.6% completion, 12.7 YPC
  • Very few sacks (2)
  • Good passer rating for his usage

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Low volume (only 51 attempts over 7 games)
  • 5 INTs on limited passes is a concern
    Lahens is efficient but has had a limited impact. His flashes are promising, but he’s not carrying the offense just yet.

Primal – Mederic Lauzon

Grade: A-
4 GP, 127 ATT, 88 COMP, 907 YDS, 19 TD, 3 INT, 0 SK, 69.3% COMP, 10.3 YDS/COMP, 119.3 QB Rating

Why A-?

  • Great efficiency (69.3% COMP, 119.3 QB rating)
  • 19 TDs and only 3 INTs in just 4 games
  • Hasn’t been sacked once — elite awareness

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Only 4 games played — small sample
  • Slightly lower YPC than the top-tier guys
    Lauzon has been fantastic in limited action. If he played a full season at this level, he’d be in the A+ conversation.

Gamblers Anonymous – Adam Malinoff

Grade: D
4 GP, 111 ATT, 40 COMP, 556 YDS, 10 TD, 7 INT, 6 SK, 36.0% COMP, 13.9 YDS/COMP, 56.7 QB Rating

Why D?

  • 13.9 yards per completion shows he goes deep

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • 36.0% completion rate — lowest among starters
  • 7 INTs and 6 sacks in only 4 games
    Malinoff’s deep passing ability doesn’t make up for his lack of accuracy and turnover issues. He’s been a liability more than a leader.

Quebec U16B – Karl Gargantini

Grade: C
7 GP, 117 ATT, 71 COMP, 733 YDS, 11 TD, 6 INT, 3 SK, 60.7% COMP, 10.3 YDS/COMP, 88.7 QB Rating

Why C?

  • Solid completion rate (60.7%) for a young QB
  • Respectable 10.3 yards per completion
  • 11 TDs is decent

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • 0-7 team record — hasn’t found a way to win
  • 6 INTs keeps his grade from rising
    Gargantini shows potential, but hasn’t translated it into wins. He’s still developing and gaining valuable experience.

The Receivers

Bleue Dry 7.1 – Giovani Antonacci

Grade: A+
7 GP, 29 REC, 35 TGT, 485 YDS, 15 TD, 16.7 YDS/REC

Why A+?

  • Leads the division in receiving touchdowns (15)
  • 16.7 yards per catch — shows big-play ability every time he touches the ball
  • High efficiency (29 catches on 35 targets)
  • A massive red-zone threat and deep-ball weapon

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • None. He’s producing at an elite level and stretching the field consistently
    Antonacci is the most dangerous receiver in the league and a key reason Bleue Dry sits atop the standings.

X-Men – Zack Sebestyen

Grade: A
8 GP, 67 REC, 78 TGT, 756 YDS, 14 TD, 11.3 YDS/REC

Why A?

  • Leads the division in receptions and yards
  • Huge target share (78 targets), and he consistently delivers
  • 14 TDs is among the league’s best
  • Extremely reliable — the go-to guy on all downs

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Slightly lower yards per catch (11.3) compared to top deep threats
    Sebestyen is the volume king. He’s the heartbeat of the X-Men offense, moving the chains and scoring often.

CTE – Jaylan Greaves

Grade: A-
4 GP, 19 REC, 19 TGT, 343 YDS, 7 TD, 18.1 YDS/REC

Why A-?

  • Perfect efficiency: caught every target (19/19)
  • Elite explosiveness: 18.1 yards per catch
  • 7 TDs in 4 games — amazing rate

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Only 4 games played — small sample size
    Greaves has been lights out when available. If he had more volume, he’d be in the A+ range.

Five Guys – Mathieu Lepage

Grade: B+
6 GP, 26 REC, 32 TGT, 358 YDS, 7 TD, 13.8 YDS/REC

Why B+?

  • Very good efficiency and solid yardage
  • 13.8 yards per catch is strong
  • 7 TDs in 6 games is great production

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Lower volume than some other top WRs
    Lepage is an underrated weapon for Five Guys. He’s efficient and productive, just not as high-volume as the elite guys.

Primal – Jean-Philippe Régnier

Grade: A-
6 GP, 42 REC, 52 TGT, 459 YDS, 11 TD, 10.9 YDS/REC

Why A-?

  • Consistently productive — 11 TDs in 6 games is fantastic
  • High reception count shows he’s trusted and heavily used
  • Moves the chains and scores

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Yardage per catch (10.9) is a bit lower for a top WR
    Régnier is the steady anchor of Primal’s offense. Maybe not a pure burner, but he’s always open and finds the end zone.

Gamblers Anonymous – Sam Anastasopoulos

Grade: B
7 GP, 24 REC, 30 TGT, 357 YDS, 5 TD, 14.9 YDS/REC

Why B?

  • Solid yardage and yards per catch (14.9)
  • 5 TDs in a struggling offense is impressive
  • Reliable option for a team that’s had QB issues

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Not a high-volume target
  • 5 TDs is solid, but not elite
    Anastasopoulos has been a bright spot for Gamblers. He’s efficient and makes big plays, even if the offense around him is inconsistent.

Quebec U16A – Ryan McHugh

Grade: B-
6 GP, 11 REC, 12 TGT, 183 YDS, 3 TD, 16.6 YDS/REC

Why B-?

  • Extremely efficient (11 catches on 12 targets)
  • Big-play threat with 16.6 yards per catch
  • Producing despite limited passing volume from his QBs

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Low overall volume (only 11 receptions)
  • Only 3 TDs — not a major red-zone threat
    McHugh is doing a lot with a little. If the offense opened up more, he’d likely shine even brighter.

Quebec U16B – Ethan Velenosi

Grade: C+
6 GP, 16 REC, 27 TGT, 263 YDS, 4 TD, 16.4 YDS/REC

Why C+?

  • 16.4 yards per catch is very strong
  • Has shown flashes as a deep threat
  • 4 TDs is solid on a winless team

🔴 Weaknesses:

  • Efficiency could be better (16 catches on 27 targets)
  • Team record and lack of consistent offense limits his opportunities
    Velenosi has potential and some explosive plays under his belt. But in a struggling offense, he hasn’t had the chance to break out fully yet.
