Breaking Down the Top Quarterbacks
Kyle Pedvis (TEAM V)
📊 1162 Yards | 31 TDs | 5 INTs | 11.3 Yards/Comp | 115.8 QB Rating
🏆 TEAM V Record: 4-3-0 (6th in the Standings)
Kyle Pedvis has been the most productive quarterback this season, throwing for 31 touchdowns, the most of any QB in the division. TEAM V, however, has had an up-and-down season, sitting at 4-3-0, as their high-powered offense (221 PF, most in the league) has been matched by defensive struggles (137 PA). Pedvis’ ability to score consistently has kept TEAM V competitive, but to climb the standings, he may need to play even more efficiently down the stretch.
Matthew Petropoulos (Lvl Jacboys)
📊 820 Yards | 24 TDs | 8 INTs | 13.7 Yards/Comp | 87.1 QB Rating
🏆 Lvl Jacboys Record: 5-1-0 (2nd in the Standings)
Matthew Petropoulos has been one of the most explosive quarterbacks this season, leading a Lvl Jacboys team that sits at 5-1-0. His 13.7 yards per completion is the highest among this group, showing his big-play ability. However, his 53.6% completion rate and 8 interceptions indicate that he can be streaky at times. Despite that, his ability to stretch the field and find the end zone (24 TDs) has been crucial in making Lvl Jacboys a serious playoff contender.
Vaughn Vanslet (McGill Swim Team)
📊 798 Yards | 20 TDs | 4 INTs | 10.6 Yards/Comp | 90.2 QB Rating
🏆 McGill Swim Team Record: 5-1-0 (1st in the Standings)
Vaughn Vanslet has been leading McGill Swim Team to the best record in the league (5-1-0) while putting up strong passing numbers. His 163 pass attempts are the most among this group, meaning he’s relied on heavy volume to get the job done. Despite only completing 46.0% of his passes, he has been careful with the ball, throwing just 4 interceptions all season. McGill Swim Team has one of the best defenses in the league, so if Vanslet can improve his efficiency, they could be a favorite heading into the playoffs.
Matthew Bottazzi (Chomedey Chodes)
📊 799 Yards | 20 TDs | 6 INTs | 9.1 Yards/Comp | 101.76 QB Rating
🏆 Chomedey Chodes Record: 5-1-0 (3rd in the Standings)
Matthew Bottazzi has been one of the most consistent quarterbacks, leading Chomedey Chodes to a strong 5-1-0 record. His 64.7% completion rate ranks among the best, proving that he is accurate and effective in moving the ball. While he hasn’t been as much of a deep-ball threat (9.1 yards per completion), his ability to sustain drives and finish in the red zone (20 TDs) has kept Chomedey Chodes right in the thick of the championship race.
James Scicchitano (Vdb Crescent)
📊 808 Yards | 19 TDs | 10 INTs | 13.9 Yards/Comp | 79.0 QB Rating
🏆 Vdb Crescent Record: 4-1-0 (5th in the Standings)
James Scicchitano has been a high-risk, high-reward quarterback this season, leading Vdb Crescent to a solid 4-1-0 record. His 13.9 yards per completion shows that he’s not afraid to take deep shots, but his 10 interceptions are the most of any QB on this list. While his aggressive playstyle has worked so far, he will need to take better care of the football if Vdb Crescent wants to make a deep playoff run.
Breaking Down the Top Wide Receivers
Tim Horner (TEAM V)
📊 52 REC | 530 YDS | 15 TDs | 10.2 Yards/Rec
🏆 TEAM V Record: 4-3-0 (6th in the Standings)
Tim Horner has been the most productive receiver in the divison, leading in both receptions (52) and touchdowns (15). His ability to consistently get open and move the chains has made him a go-to weapon for TEAM V. With an impressive 69 targets on the season, he’s been the focal point of the offense and a nightmare for opposing defenses. Despite TEAM V sitting at 4-3-0, Horner’s presence keeps them in every game, and he remains a strong candidate for Receiver of the Year.
Jonathan Bottazzi (Chomedey Chodes)
📊 35 REC | 366 YDS | 9 TDs | 10.5 Yards/Rec
🏆 Chomedey Chodes Record: 5-1-0 (3rd in the Standings)
Jonathan Bottazzi has been one of the most balanced receivers in the division, providing reliability and red-zone efficiency for Chomedey Chodes. With 35 receptions and 9 touchdowns, he has played a huge role in his team’s 5-1-0 record, helping them become one of the best offenses in the division.
Diego Salvo (Vdb Crescent)
📊 19 REC | 331 YDS | 8 TDs | 17.4 Yards/Rec
🏆 Vdb Crescent Record: 4-1-0 (5th in the Standings)
Diego Salvo might not have the highest number of receptions, but when he catches the ball, he makes it count. With an outstanding 17.4 yards per reception, he is the most explosive receiver on this list. His deep threat ability has been a key factor for Vdb Crescent’s strong 4-1-0 record, and his 8 touchdowns in just 4 games show how impactful he is in limited opportunities. If he keeps up this level of production, he could be a dark horse for Receiver of the Year.
Lewis Epstein (Gold Rush)
📊 17 REC | 258 YDS | 8 TDs | 15.2 Yards/Rec
🏆 Gold Rush Record: 3-3-0 (7th in the Standings)
Lewis Epstein has been a touchdown machine, scoring 8 times on just 17 catches. His 15.2 yards per reception makes him a legitimate deep threat, but what stands out most is his red-zone efficiency. Despite Gold Rush sitting at 3-3-0, Epstein has been one of the bright spots on offense. If he continues finding the end zone at this rate, he will be a huge factor in Gold Rush’s playoff push.
Nicholas Lefebvre (The Creamsicles)
📊 17 REC | 269 YDS | 7 TDs | 15.8 Yards/Rec
🏆 The Creamsicles Record: 2-3-0 (Not in Playoff Position)
Nicholas Lefebvre has been a breakout player for The Creamsicles, putting up impressive numbers despite his team’s struggles. With 7 touchdowns and 15.8 yards per reception, he’s proving that he can make big plays and be a reliable scoring option. While his team is currently outside of the playoff picture, his continued success could be a key factor in turning their season around.

Game Previews
Sunday, March 2 – 22:00
📍 Stade Hebert [2]
🏈 Swiffer WetJets (2-3-0) vs. Gold Rush (3-3-0)
📝 Prediction: Gold Rush
Swiffer WetJets and Gold Rush both sit in the middle of the pack, but Gold Rush has shown more offensive firepower, scoring 133 points compared to Swiffer WetJets’ 66. Lewis Epstein (7 TDs) has been a major factor for Gold Rush, and if Swiffer WetJets can’t slow him down, they may struggle to keep up. Given their stronger offensive numbers and even point differential, Gold Rush has the edge.
Monday, March 3 – 23:00
📍 CSJV [1]
🏈 Very Good Football Team (2-3-0) vs. TEAM V (4-3-0)
📝 Prediction: TEAM V
TEAM V has been one of the more explosive offenses this season, scoring 221 points (2nd most in the league). Tim Horner (11 TDs) has been a top receiver, and their offensive balance should give them an advantage. Meanwhile, Very Good Football Team has struggled offensively with just 73 points in five games. Unless Primo Capriolo-Moris can play a near-perfect game at QB, TEAM V should come away with the win.
Tuesday, March 4 – 20:00
📍 Stade Hebert [3]
🏈 RedZone Buzz (2-3-0) vs. Lvl Jacboys (5-1-0)
📝 Prediction: Lvl Jacboys
Lvl Jacboys have been one of the best teams this season, scoring 184 points while allowing just 81 (+103 differential, best in the league). Matthew Petropoulos has been an elite dual-threat QB, and RedZone Buzz (64 PF, 86 PA) doesn’t seem equipped to slow him down. If Lvl Jacboys play their usual game, they should extend their winning record.
Wednesday, March 5 – 21:15
📍 Laval (Dome) [2]
🏈 Vengeance (2-4-0) vs. 90’s Classics (4-1-0)
📝 Prediction: 90’s Classics
90’s Classics have been well-rounded all season, and their +59 point differential speaks to their efficiency. Vengeance, on the other hand, has struggled on both sides of the ball, with 68 points for and 158 against (-90 differential, worst in the league). Unless Vengeance finds a way to break through 90’s Classics’ balanced attack, this should be a comfortable win for 90’s Classics.
Wednesday, March 5 – 23:00
📍 Stade Hebert [2]
🏈 TD Brudders (1-3-0) vs. Bum City (1-5-0)
📝 Prediction: TD Brudders
Both teams are at the bottom of the standings, but TD Brudders have played two fewer games than Bum City, meaning they’ve had fewer opportunities to improve their record. Bum City has struggled badly on defense, allowing 205 points in six games (most in the league). TD Brudders’ offense hasn’t been great either, but given Bum City’s defensive struggles, this is a good opportunity for TD Brudders to pick up a much-needed win.
