Starting Lineup:
QB: Derek Carr
RB1: James White
RB2: Theo Riddick
WR1: Amari Cooper
WR2: Dez Bryant
TE: Zach Miller
Flex: Willie Snead
Def: New England
This week's matchup pits El Pollo Loco against undefeated Unstopa-Bo. Unstopa-Bo has had a historical start to this season tying the record for most wins to start a season and this week he attempts to tie the longest win streak in MFFL history. Loco is still trying to get this on track as they have been inconsistent this year having yet to win back-to-back games. They are in a good position as this week Dez Bryant looks to return to action. Say what you will about Loco's overall record through 4 and a half seasons, but we all know Loco likes to play well in big games. The last time a team started off 7-0 their first lost was in week 8 at the hands of El Pollo Loco and they are hungry to stop another streak.
El Pollo Loco is starting too feel better about their lineup as they continue to try to get healthy. As mentioned before they will have the services of Bryant this week for the first time since week 3. Also returning to the field is key contributor Theo Riddick after sitting out two weeks with an ankle issue. Although they are getting healthier El Pollo Loco will not be full strength this week due to Jay Ajayi being on bye. This week should be an exciting matchup as this one is projected to be a close one with history on the line.

Week 1 vs. Pryor to the Snap
Starting Lineup:
QB: Russell Wilson
RB1: David Johnson
RB2; Rashad Jennings
WR1: Dez Bryant
WR2: Keenan Allen
TE: Zach Ertz
Flex: Donte Moncrief
K: Cairo Santos
Defense: Tennessee
After all the waiting and anticipation week 1 of the fantasy football season is here. El Pollo Loco looks to start off the season on a high note with a West division win over Pryor to the Snap. Loco knows that it is really important to come out strong this season as it seems this is a make or break season for them. Last season was another disappointing season for Loco so they had to do some soul searching in the off-season. The first place they looked was their drafting strategy. In the previous two drafts Loco went double running back in the first two rounds. Both season saw El Pollo Loco ending with a sub .500 record. So this year Loco decided to go RB-WR as they felt this was the best way to build their team. Building around RB David Johnson and WR Dez Bryant Loco feels they drafted well and set themselves up for success.
Standing in their way week 1 is divisional foe Pryor to the Snap. Pryor has had success in the MFFL and this season should be no different as they had a great draft. Lead by QB Cam Newton and WR Julio Jones look for Pryor to score a lot of points through the air this season, but you shouldn't sleep on the ground game. RBs Doug Martina and Latavius Murray are two young, talented backs who are primed for great season. Don't miss this great week 1 match up as it should be a close, high scoring affair.

2016: Make or Break Year for El Pollo Loco
Going into the MFFL's inaugural season El Pollo Loco was a mystery to the rest of the league. Who is General Manager Josh Cermak? What style of football do they play? Will they have success in this league? Loco just barely missed out on the playoffs that year with a solid 8-6 record and many predicted that they would make the playoffs the following year. In the 3 seasons since Loco has fallen short of expectations and is now the only team in the MFFL yet to make the playoffs. Rumors have been circulating around Albuquerque that if El Pollo Loco misses the playoffs again this year that big changes are coming. Fan support for El Pollo Loco has been strong since the franchise started in 2012, but it is clear fans are frustrated with Loco's performance. How will El Pollo Loco do this season? Will their playoff drought end? If they have another losing season will the franchise be moved? Draft week 2016 is finally here and we will soon have our answers.

Week 3 @ Unstopa-Bo
Starting Lineup:
QB: Ben Roethlisberger
RB1: Marshawn Lynch
RB2: Jonathan Stewart
WR1: Mike Evans
WR2: Julian Edelman
TE: Travis Kelce
Flex: Danny Woodhead
Def: Cardinals
Coming off of a devastating loss, in which Imperium won in come back fashion, El Pollo Loco is in desperate need of a win this week against division foe Unstopa-Bo. This is a huge match up for UB as well as he is 0-2. Neither team can afford to start off 0-2 in the division with both teams coming into the match up 0-1. Loco knows how important this match up is and showed that via a block buster trade with Perpetual Dynasty earlier in the week. Loco sent CJ Anderson, Allen Robinson, Ronnie Hillman, and Cincinnati's defense to PD for Jonathan Stewart, Golden Tate, Davante Adams, and Arizona's defense. Here's what El Pollo Loco GM Josh Cermak had to say about the trade, "We thought that we just needed to shake things up. The team overall was playing okay, but when your first three draft picks combine for 12 points something has to change". Loco got rid of Anderson who they felt was under performing to get more WR depth, a better defense, and a guy they felt could finish the year a respectable number 2 RB.
El Pollo Loco better hope that this week's trade lights a fire under his team because this week they face a very good Unstopa-Bo team. UB is loaded with guys like Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, and Rob Gronkowski. They come in 0-2, but have scored the most points in the league so far. If it wasn't for two really tough match ups they could easily be 2-0 sitting a top the division. Expect this match up to be high-scoring and come down to the wire.

Week 2 @ Imperium
Starting Lineup:
QB: Ben Roethlisberger
RB1: Marshawn Lynch
RB2: CJ Anderson
WR1: Mike Evans
WR2: Julian Edelman
TE: Travis Kelce
Flex: Danny Woodhead
Def: Bengals
El Pollo Loco comes into this week 1-0 for the first time in franchise history after a win over Advantageous Morgans. This sets up a important early season match up with divisional foe Imperium fresh off a victory of Whitner Wonderland. Winner gets the outright division lead something Loco has never achieved in the MFFL so Loco knows the importance of this game. El Pollo Loco has had success against Imperium in the past, but he knows that this is a new season and Imperium is one of the top franchises in the league. Lead by QB Russell Wilson, WR Alshon Jeffery, and RB DeMarco Murray Imperium has big play potential. Loco knows that this is going to be a tough match up and it will take a team effort to come out on top. Last week Loco had two players play on Thursday night. Ben Roethlisberger and Julian Edelman came out and played great, they really set the tempo for the rest of the match up. This week CJ Anderson and Travis Kelce go on Thursday for Loco and they understand the importance of getting another good start this week. If Anderson and Kelce can set the tempo for Loco on Thursday night it will be a step in the right direction.
El Pollo Loco hopes to have Mike Evans back in the line up this week after sitting out last week with hamstring issues. Danny Woodhead passes Allen Robinson on the depth chart to get the start at flex after a great week one performance. CJ Anderson will be a game time decision this week as he is dealing with a toe issue. Ronnie Hillman is prepared to replace Anderson if he can't go.

WR2: Julian Edelman
TE: Travis Kelce
Flex: Allen Robinson
Def: Bengals
Week 1 of the 2015 fantasy football season is finally here. El Pollo Loco was able to salvage a disappointing 2014 season with a third straight Last Man Hand-Standing Trophy. As Loco looks to make the next step in the MFFL he knows that he has to start fast this season. El Pollo Loco has never won a season opener, that's right Loco is 0-3 in week 1. Loco tends to improve as the season goes on so he knows how important it is to start the season with a win. Loco has already made a couple trades to improve his roster after the draft to improve the WR2 position. Just like last year Loco starts the season off with a pair of stud RBs. Loco desperately needs production out of both of them this year to be successful.
Standing in El Pollo Loco's way of his best start in franchise history is Advantageous Morgans. Morgans comes into this match up as the underdog, but don't let the low projection from Yahoo fool you Morgans is a good team. With star power from Drew Brees, AJ Green, and Eddie Lacy Loco knows it won't be easy. This should be a close game and look for Morgans to out score their 115 point projection.
