Week Two of AAF Football featured great highs and somber lows. The matchup between the San Antonio Commanders and the Orlando Apollos is one that will finish as one of the best of the season while John Wolford redeemed himself in a late Arizona comeback over the Memphis Express. One of Atlanta’s final drives was one of the worst I had ever seen in any level of football when they ran the ball on 3rd & 16 with under three minutes left in the game. After this run, the Legend’s coaching staff sent out their punt team before wasting their final timeout to put their offense back in the game.
Some players worked their way up the ranks while many fell to the bottom. I’m here to make sense of the changes and help you guys win your first ever AAF Fantasy Football League (AAFF? AFF? FAAF? We’ll work it out).

Week 2 AAF Rankings
Quarterbacks
So not much changed as far as quarterback rankings go. Phillip Nelson and Austin Allen both made starts this week. Nelson drew the start over Mike Bercovici and defeated the Atlanta Legends while Austin Allen started due to an injury to Josh Woodrum and blew a game late to Birmingham. Nelson will likely remain the starter long term but won’t offer much more fantasy upside than Bercovici.

Running Backs
Week 2 was very informative for the running back position. Coaches for San Antonio and San Diego showed us who they were going to rely on the most while Orlando and Salt Lake continue to look for their go-to backs. Former-Iowa Hawkeye and Tennessee Titan Akrum Wadley led Atlanta in receptions and thus pulling himself out of the dog houses of the owners that drafted him.

Wide Receivers
The drops weren’t as bad this week but there were still some more promising guys that fell short. It’s also important to note that if your top guy is going up against Memphis, he might be in for a rough day given that the top corner in the AAF in Channing Stribling who holds QBs to a 52.1 passer rating when they throw at him.

Tight Ends
So not many changes as far as who the top Tight Ends are but Evan Rodriguez is worth noting. Rodriguez was used as an H-Back in the red zone by the Commanders and picked up a touchdown and a 2-Point Conversion against Orlando this past weekend. I can say without a reasonable doubt that this will be his sort of role for the remainder of the season given his successes.
