Well I got tired of looking at NSFL Power Rankings and not having those in the DSFL so here they are for the DSFL.
1. Tijuana Luchadores 2-0
With a 2-0 record Tijuana has once of the best defensive units in all of the DSFL if not the best. They have the best linebacker tandem in the league with Brian Mills and Elvin Enchant, cornerback Manson Killer, and Defensive Tackle Bogdan Wojcik. On the offensive side of the ball they are still a dangerous unit. Arbin Asipi Jr hasn't begun to disappoint Tijuana yet (surprisingly) and he was the best Quarterback the first 2 weeks before the re sim. His active weapons include Lil Bot, Sydney Spinelli, and Antonio Legion. Spinelli has been a very productive back thus far with the 2nd most rushing yards to date. Legion has not been as productive as Tijuana may have hoped, the only wide out he has more yards than from the S5 DSFL draft is Grey Slax. However he has done his job as a WR1. Something that is really going to help Tijuana going forward is that they have the kicker Forfeit who will be extremely reliable going forward. Overall I think Tijuana is the team to beat right now in the DSFL, if you get the better of the linebacker tandem then you can run over any team.
2. San Antonio Marshals 2-0
The Marshals are the keepers of the clock, they will control you throughout the game, tire out your defense and keep your offense off the field. How do they do it? easy answer, Willy Nyquist. It is really hard to put Tijuana over the Marshals because it is a really close comparison, and this Willy Nyquist kid is the reason. He leads the league in rushing yards by over 80 freaking yards. The guy is a beast and I can't stretch it enough. Their defense is also beastly, they boast a stout linebacker duo, strong cornerback, and a fearsome defensive line consisting of the Payne brothers and Bastion Barnhardt. There are 2 reasons that convinced me to put Tijuana over San Antonio. First of all, when the game is close and they can't give it off to Nyquist I think that the Luchadores have a better passing attack. The other reason is that Nyquist is one of the few guys on that team that is still active, and a great threat. We will see the real Marshals later down the season.
3. Palm Beach Solar Bears 0-2
yes I know they are 0-2 please listen before you start typing away about how I know nothing about the DSFL. The Solar bears may be 0-2, but they only lost to the best teams in the DSFL right now, SA and TIJ. They were not beat to a pulp by either team and remained in it until the end. Their Quarterback currently leads the league in yards by nearly 100, and also leads the league in touchdowns. His wide receivers are utterly dominating the passing game and when you look at the stat sheet...This team is SCARY. We'll see if i'm right next week where they get to prove if they're worthy or not of this high ranking.
4. Norfolk Seawolves 1-1
This was a tough ranking, and I'll keep it short and sweet. Between NOR and KC I put NOR at 4th and not 5th because...I don't trust the arm of Borkus Maximus. He had a poor performance in the first 2 games and I really hope he improves
5. Kansas City Coyotes 1-1
Yeah I know they're the Chicago Coyotes but I'm from Missouri so it hurts to call them the Chicago Coyotes...I mean who in their right mind would move a team to Chicago? With the Cubs?? Anyway I already mentioned why they are at number 5. Perhaps they can improve over time but personally....
6. Portland Pythons 0-2
Unfortunately it has been a rough start for the reigning champs. We've lost to both the Seawolves and the Coyotes in their house. There's not must to say here except that we need to get our act together.
