The Pecking Order Week 3, 2026

The Dream Takes Flight, Music City Hits Free Fall

The Dream are running away with The League, posting a perfect 6-0 performance over the last few weeks and a league-leading 155.2 PPG to vault to the top spot. Meanwhile, Mariachi Ninjas have collapsed four games into a tailspin, and Music City finds itself in the abyss with six straight losses. The tier separation is real, and it starts with The Dream's historic run.

The order on the map

  1. The Dream dropped 157.29 this week — the highest score in The League — and their 97.8% all-play mark proves they're not just winning, they're dominating the competition.

    97.8% all-play 155.2 PPG, last three weeks

  2. Vitside sits at 77.8% all-play and 129.6 PPG over the last three, but league sources tell me that 46.22-point bench blunder this week cost them real ground in The League pecking order.

    77.8% all-play 129.6 PPG, last three weeks

  3. Gridiron Geeks are locked in at 77.8% all-play with a 5-1 performance over the last few weeks and 126.3 PPG — they're the third-best team in The League right now, and facing Fire Ready next week could define their season.

  4. 4

    Da Dangsters 4-2

    Up 1

    Da Dangsters climbed one spot to #4 by going 4-2 over the last three with a 2-game winning streak — they're knocking on the door of the elite tier in The League.

    73.3% all-play 121.9 PPG, last three weeks

  5. 5

    Fire Ready Aim 4-2

    Up 1

    Fire Ready won three straight and vaulted up one spot, posting 116.3 PPG over the last three weeks at 68.9% all-play — they're facing Gridiron Geeks next, the matchup of the week in The League.

    68.9% all-play 116.3 PPG, last three weeks

  6. 6

    Wascawy Wabbits 4-2

    Down 2

    Wascawy Wabbits dropped two spots despite a 4-2 mark over the last three; their 57.8% all-play tells me the competition is heating up and they need to start winning closer matchups.

    57.8% all-play 111.1 PPG, last three weeks

  7. 7

    Bring The Pain 2-4

    Up 2

    Bring The Pain climbed two spots with a 57.8% all-play mark, but their 2-4 record over the last three weeks is a red flag — the PPG is there, but the wins aren't coming in The League.

    57.8% all-play 109.6 PPG, last three weeks

  8. 8

    Dark Magicians of Chaos 3-3

    Down 1

    Dark Magicians fell one spot with a 46.7% all-play and a middle-of-the-road 3-3 performance over the last few weeks — they're stuck in the mushy middle of The League with no clear upside.

    46.7% all-play 105.7 PPG, last three weeks

  9. 9

    Pacific Pigskins 5-1

    Up 1

    Pigskins are surging with a 5-game winning streak and 5-1 mark over the last three at 48.9% all-play; league sources tell me they've quietly put together one of the best recent stretches in The League.

    48.9% all-play 101.5 PPG, last three weeks

  10. 10

    Cowboy Up 4-2

    Up 1

    Cowboy Up climbed one spot to #10 behind a 2-game winning streak and 4-2 mark over the last three — they're scrappy, competitive, and fighting for relevance in The League's middle class.

    48.9% all-play 96.6 PPG, last three weeks

  11. 11

    The Mariachi Ninjas 2-4

    Down 3

    Mariachi Ninjas have free-fallen three spots down to #11 with a 4-game losing streak and a brutal 2-4 mark over the last three — this is a concerning collapse for a team that was contending just weeks ago in The League.

    44.4% all-play 93.3 PPG, last three weeks

  12. Midwestside Connection sits at 37.8% all-play and 2-4 over the last three; they're treading water in The League's basement tier with no momentum to speak of.

    37.8% all-play 91.9 PPG, last three weeks

  13. Computer Jocks are a disaster at 24.4% all-play, 1-5 over the last three weeks, and a 2-game losing streak — they're hemorrhaging games in The League and need a complete reset.

    24.4% all-play 79.1 PPG, last three weeks

  14. Dead Cap Walking is drowning at 15.6% all-play with a 1-5 record over the last three weeks and a 5-game losing streak — money is nice, but championships are better, and they're nowhere near either in The League.

    15.6% all-play 68.0 PPG, last three weeks

  15. Music City Mafia have hit rock bottom with a 6-game losing streak and a 0-6 performance over the last few weeks mark — the longest losing streak in The League and nowhere to hide.

    11.1% all-play 63.6 PPG, last three weeks

  16. 16

    Maverick 0-6

    Mavericks are tied at the bottom with Music City at 11.1% all-play and a 6-game losing streak of their own — both franchises are in genuine freefall in The League.

    11.1% all-play 63.4 PPG, last three weeks
