Season 3 is here and I am back with your favorite article of the week: The team of the week! Slight change: On offense, I will now use 1 RB, 2 WR and one flex (RB/WR) because some weeks there aren't two good RBs but many good WRs.

We already saw a few new entries that had never been in the team of the week in season 2, partially because they are rookies and partially because they just somehow never got there.
New entries are E. Burnsman, B. Westfield, J. Sanderson, B. Lee, W. Stone and D. Miller who all made it for the first time! Congratulations. Also shoutout to rookies B. Benson and my sister J. O'Sullivan who almost made the team in their first game ever (both were the first one out in their position). Also shoutout to number 1 overall pick A. Sandoval who also had 7 pancakes and 0 sacks allowed but was the 6th OL player on my list. And lastly shoutout to two more rookie-standouts, E. Burnsman the player of the week was a 2nd rounder this year and Trey Willie had a great first game as a Wide Receiver after the draft.
