With the draft approaching and in the midst of Christmas break, let’s take a look at the top players at each position currently playing in the DSFL. QB is a pretty easy one to start with and is arguably one of the most valuable positions on a team. There are currently seven quarterbacks who have recorded playing time, so we’ll choose the top three (in my opinion) and analyze each. Then, we’ll do the same for wideouts! Without further ado, let’s dive in to my top 3 DSFL quarterbacks and WRs.
Quarterbacks
1) Cue, J. (Portland).
Cue has put up impressive numbers this season with Portland, who currently sits atop the NFC North at 7-3. Portland’s offense has more points for than any other DSFL team and Cue has been a large factor in their success. Cue has the best QBR of any DSFL QB and sits second in yards/attempt (6.17) and yards/completion (10.52). He’s also done well taking care of the ball with only seven interceptions through 10 games and 307 attempts, throwing 2.29 touchdowns per interceptions, only bested by LaFleur who has a third of the attempts.
2) Phoenix, B. (Myrtle Beach).
Phoenix’s only issue this season has been the interceptions. He leads the league in completion percent (60.1%), yards (1997), yds/att and yds/completion (6.93 and 11.54 respectively), and is tied for the second highest QBR with Bstarr from Kansas City. Interceptions have been an issue for Phoenix, though, as he’s thrown for 10 TDS but 8 INTS. Throw a couple more TDs and take away an interception or two and Phoenix would be running away on the leaderboards.
3) Bstarr, A. (Kansas City).
Coming in to replace LaFleur, Bstarr has put up impressive numbers through six games. He completes 58.2% of his passes and has 4 TDs on 2 INTs and an impressive rating of 81, which ties him with Phoenix in Myrtle Beach for second best in the rating category. Though the attempts have been more limited, no one else really stood out as belonging on the list. Bstarr’s yards/attempt and yds/completion are both third in the league at 6.08 and 10.46 respectively, sitting just shy of Cue’s numbers. Despite having fewer starts and relatively low totals, his numbers have been strong and, unless he regresses, should continue to remain that way.
It is interesting to note that if you combined the numbers from both KC’s quarterbacks, Bstarr and LaFleur, their numbers are competitive. The two combine for a 56.6% completion percentage on 205 attempts and average 9.95 yards per completion. 7 TDs on 3 INTs is good, though 1154 yards through the air isn’t anything to gawk at.
Wideouts
Please be aware that this analysis has been limited to exclusively wide receivers with more than 10 catches this season. No other position was included and any WR with fewer than 10 catches has been omitted from considerations.
1) Bur’Berry, J. (Portland).
Bur’Berry earns the top spot due to his all around success. This wideout has 597 yards on 45 receptions for an average of 13.3 yards per catch, good for third in the league, has the longest reception of the season at 42, and has an impressive 5 TDs. Bur’Berry finds himself second in yards and touchdowns and third in yards per catch. He’s having an impressive season and, although he doesn’t lead the league in anything other than longest reception, has arguably been the best all-around receiver.
2) Gordon, R. (Myrtle Beach).
Some might look at Gordon and claim that his impressive 889 receiving yards, which is 292 yards ahead of Bur’Berry’s second place 597, are just a factor of the fact that he has nearly 20 catches more than anyone else in the league. Anyone who makes that claim, though, is ignoring the fact that his average yardage per reception is also at the top of the league. So not only is he catching the ball more than anyone else, he’s getting more yards per catch than anyone else. The only thing keeping him out of the top spot is the fact that he’s only recorded a pair of touchdowns.
3) Vuxta, R. (Tijuana).
Vuxta has an impressive and league leading 6 TDs and sits a cool 444 yards, which is good for the fifth spot among active WRs. Although his yards per reception is comparatively low at only 10.3, the six touchdowns and sheer number of yards (444…neat) makes up for it and earns him the third spot on my list.
