RANDOM THOUGHTSWe are down to.just 6 undefeated teams including Miami (2-0-1) after 5 teams lost entering week 3 with a 2-0 record.
We still have 8 teams looking for their 1st win of the season entering week 4.
My Dakota Blizzards lead the league with 133 points scored joining Miami (110), Cincinnati (107) and Seattle (102) as teams with 100+ points scored through 3 games.
Providence has only allowed 9 points thus far to lead the league in points allowed joining Indiana (16) and Miami (23) as the top defensive points allowed teams.
PASSINGQB Larry Scruggs (CIN)
He is the active leader in passing yards with 44,880 yards and sits 13th Alltime as he signed with Cincinnati to replace retired and soon to be 1st ballot HOFer QB Gary Fielding. The 16 year veteran is playing with his 5th team and may have his best season yet as he joins a team that has reached the XFL Championship game in 4 of the last 9 seasons. To crack the top 10 in passing Alltime, Scruggs needs 2,065 more passing yards.
He also currently sits 15th Alltime in career passing TDs with 278 and needs 40 more passing TDs to crack the top 10.
QB Daniel Stroud (BUF)
He is playing his 17th season in the XFL and sits 16th Alltime in passing yards with 43,399. This is his 4th season with Buffalo and his 5th team his played on in his career. He will need another 3,563 passing yards to crack the top 10 Alltime.
RUSHINGWR Julio Hamilton (CIN)
He is another future 1st ballot HOFer who already owns the career rushing mark with 13,279 yards rushing. To put that in prospective, there are only 9 players who have cracked the 10,000 yard mark in rushing and Hamilton has 1,331 more yards then 2nd Alltime Leroy Bello (ATL) who is retired. In fact, the rushing yards leader behind Hamilton is WR Danny Melillo (FA) who isn't playing as he sits at home waiting for a phone call. Melillo sits 7th Alltime with 10,498 yards rushing. The closest active rusher is WR Manuel Crippen (SEA) who ranks 39th Alltime with 7,339 yards rushing in his 9th season.
He still has hopes of surpassing Bello in rushing TDs Alltime as Bello retired with 72 while Hamilton ranks 3rd Alltime with 65 rushing TDs. Hamilton needs 4 more to match Brian Hughes (BUF) and 7 more to match Bello.
RECEIVINGWR Bobby Covert (MEM)
He ranks 8th Alltime in receiving yards with 11,079 yards. He needs 921 more yards to become just the 8th player to eclipse 12,000 yards receiving.
WR James Hulbert (FA)
He ranks 13th Alltime in receiving yards with 10,109 yards. He is already just of 14 players to eclipse 10,000 yards receiving but he needs to sign a contract if he has any chance of moving up the receiving yards lost.
WR Richard Hoffman (PRI)
He ranks 15th Alltime in receiving yards with 9,873 yards. He needs just 127 more receiving yards to become the 16th member of the 10,000 yard receiving club.
RUSHING/RECEIVINGWR Barry Williams (DAK)
He is the only member of the 9,000/9,000 club where he finished his career with 9,061 yards rushing and 9,054 yards receiving.
WR Julio Hamilton (CIN)
He already owns the Alltime rushing yards record with 13,279 yards and he sits at 8,993 yards receiving. He needs just a paltry 7 yards receiving to become the 2nd member of the exclusive 9,000/9,000 club and if he can amass 1,007 more receiving yards, he would become the 1st member of the 10,000/10,000 Club. Pretty amazing!!!
KICKINGK Corey Pate (PRI)
He currently ranks 3rd Alltime in FGs with 511/584 and needs 34 more to match HOFer K Gustavo Fring (GCG). He is 86 behind K John McKinney (ORG) and will need to play multiple more seasons as he plays in year 15.
He is also 3rd Alltime with 121/161 50+ yard FGs but just needs 1 more for 2nd Alltime and 8 more to match K John McKinney for 1st Alltime
