Week 4 2017: @ Unstopa-Bo

Starting Lineup:
QB: Drew Brees
WR: Antonio Brown
WR: Keenan Allen
RB: Ezekiel Elliott
RB: Christian McCaffrey
TE: Charles Clay
Flex: Tyreek Hill or DeVante Parker
K: Greg Zuerlein
D/ST: Green Bay

Last week El Pollo Loco was able to notch another W, pulling out the 137-119 victory over TPD to stay atop the West at 2-0-1. It was another balanced effort with all of Loco's stars showing up and most of the complementary players doing their part. Antonio Brown lead the way with 28, but Loco has to be most excited about Christian McCaffrey's performance. He finally flashed some of the potential Loco thought he had taking him on draft. The question still remains if he can continue to play at the level for multiple weeks, but for now Loco feels more comfortable about his RB2 spot.

This week Loco goes on the road to face a division rival in Unstopa-Bo. UB got his first win last week bringing his record to 1-2, but the season is still young and he is still very much in the thick of things in the West with a 1-1 division record. Last week's 113 point total was UB's season high, but he does have some fire power. Brandin Cooks went off last week with 33 points and looks like he is finally acclimated to the Patriots offense, which is bad news for Loco. UB has firepower at the other WR position with superstar Mike Evans. I asked GM Josh Cermak which player on UB he is most concerned with this week he told me, "We know that Bo has a pair of stud WRs, but we need to watch out for Ajayi this week. He's a great RB with an amazing matchup and could spell trouble for us this week."

Coming off a good week the question still remains whether or not Loco can be consistent week to week. It is something they have struggled with their entire MFFL career. This year they started hot in week 1 to turn around and have a down week in week 2. They bounced back last week and they hope to keep the momentum going in an important division game. Loco expects his stars to show up, but there is a shake up to this weeks lineup. Loco hopes that Charles Clay and possibly DeVante Parker (game time decision) can provide a spark stepping into the lineup for the first time this season.

Although Loco is still undefeated this is a big game for them trying to establish a consistent product and build on there division lead. Look for UB to compete in this game he owns a 6-4 record versus Loco and has made the championship game in back to back season.
