The 2023 Xavier News Fantasy Football league is underway and the “steaks” are high. The first place finisher will receive a free steak dinner from Jeff Ruby’s. The second place finisher will have to chauffeur the winner to this dinner. The bottom three finishers will a receive JUGs. Here is a rundown of the league after week two.

Where’s Ya Lanyard (2-0) 117.88 vs Tigs Are Hot (0-2) 108.36 

Tigs are anything but hot at the moment as they start off the season ice cold. 

Flash Flood (0-2) 122.14 vs Team Holy Balls (2-0) 124.14

A Monday night miracle by George Pickens and the Steelers defense closes the floodgates.

Walshed Up (2-0) 147.32 vs Tronzo’s Cardio (0-2) 131.72

Cardio will only get you so far in fantasy football. Walshed Up starts the season in 1st place.

Darth Bader (2-0) 151.26 vs Chad’s Lions (1-1)

The force is not strong with the Lions in week two. Darth Bader is cooking up a star destroyer.

Cantrell Me Nothing (1-1) 110.7 vs Scheler’s Pets (0-2) 95.7

Got to love the low scoring matchups. Cantrell Me Nothing gets his first win of the year in gritty fashion.

Fearless Leader Mr. B (1-1) 122.44 vs Frank’s Tanks (1-1) 85.68

Not even tanks can put fear in Mr. B. Frank’s Tanks first loss is a beat down.
