Division F – Week 5 Recap

Division F is shaping up exactly how a beginner division should — competitive, chaotic, and filled with teams finding their identity. From thrillers to huge individual performances, Week 5 had a little of everything. As teams start to gear up for the playoff push, we continue to break down every squad’s journey so far.

Post-Wheel Route Concept

Basic Setup (3 receivers):

Outside WR runs a Post Route (diagonal in toward the middle of the field, usually 10–12 yards deep).
Slot WR (or Center) runs a Wheel Route (starts like a flat toward the sideline, then turns upfield along the sideline).
Backside WR or Center can run a drag/slant/underneath route to keep defenders honest.

How to Read the Defense

1. Pre-Snap Read: Zone or Man?

If a defender follows the slot receiver across the formation: it’s likely man.
If defenders shift and pass off players: it’s probably zone.

2. Post-Snap Progression:

Against Man Coverage:
The wheel route is your first read. The slot receiver often gains separation after the space created by the post route. If the corner trailing them runs into traffic, it’s an easy sideline throw.
Against Zone Coverage:
Read the cornerback and deep safety (if there is one).
- If the corner drops with the post, the wheel should be open underneath or up the sideline.
- If the corner jumps the wheel, the post route opens up behind him.
  It’s a high-low read — throw away from the defender’s decision.

1. PSTM (5–1)

Last game: L 24–25 vs First Down Sniffers
PSTM finally looked mortal, dropping a one-point game after rattling off five straight wins. Despite the loss, they remain atop the standings thanks to a well-rounded team led by QB Jesse Kotlarczyk, who leads the division in both passing yards (894) and touchdowns (23). His arm strength and decisiveness have carried the offense all season, and even in the Week 5 loss, he still threw 3 scores.

This group doesn’t rely on just one player — they’re deep at every position. Jordan Le has emerged as one of the league’s best two-way players with 292 receiving yards, 6 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions on defense. Massimo Moniz is a reliable second option at receiver with 166 yards and 5 TDs, while James Masciotra and Antonio Venturino have combined for 7 more scores. Even Joey Musumeci and Matteo Musumeci have done what they needed to do, giving Jesse a full arsenal to spread the ball to.

On defense, the team is just as strong. Jordan Le leads the way, but they also get impact contributions from Massimo Moniz (3 INTs), James Masciotra (2 INTs). Their ability to create turnovers — and often capitalize with scores on the other end — makes them dangerous even when the offense isn’t clicking.

PSTM’s lone loss may have been a wake-up call, but with the depth, balance, and playmaking across the roster, they still look like the team most likely to lift the trophy in August.

2. Jamaican Bobsled Team (4–1)

Last game: W 19–13 vs Under/Over Achievers
JBT continues to find ways to win close games — and that’s no accident. They’re mastering the art of situational football, with all four of their victories coming by 7 points or less. While their offense has had its ups and downs, this is a team that leans on its defense and opportunistic playmaking.

Quarterback Steven Polizzi may only complete 41.6% of his passes, but he’s made big throws in key moments and isn’t afraid to push the ball downfield. His favorite target has been Lorenzo Fusser, who leads the team with 234 receiving yards and is one of the best vertical threats in the division. Giulio Scarpetta has helped move the chains, and Lucas Mariani continues to flash as a red zone option with 2 TDs on just 6 targets.

Defensively, this might be the deepest unit in Division F. Roberto Picciola is in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation with 18 tackles, 5 interceptions, and 2 pick-sixes. He’s everywhere. Giulio Scarpetta (4 INTs), Lorenzo Fusser (2 INTs), and Christopher Tedeschi (2 INTs, 5 tackles) have all helped form a secondary that thrives on forcing mistakes. Kosta Moskiou and Yanni Athanasoulias add depth and hustle, making it tough for any team to consistently move the ball.

With key matchups still to come — including a pivotal Week 6 showdown with Gamblers — this team will need to keep grinding out wins. But if they clean up the turnovers and continue to dominate defensively, they’ll be a nightmare to face in the playoffs.

3. Rosemere Rhino Pills (3–2)

Last game: L 23–24 vs PSTM
Rosemere Rhino Pills were one play away from taking down the top team in the division — but a narrow loss to PSTM doesn’t erase how dangerous this team has looked all season. With a +66 point differential they’ve established themselves as one of the most explosive offenses in Division F. Now, it’s about bouncing back and tightening up in close games.

Quarterback William Lessard sits second in the league in passing touchdowns (18) and has thrown for 670 yards across five games. While his 10 interceptions are an issue, Rosemere’s vertical attack is relentless when in rhythm. His top target, Chazz Pisanelli, is arguably the best all-around player in the division — leading the team in receptions (26), yards (209), and touchdowns (5), while also leading the entire division in interceptions (8) and adding 2 defensive touchdowns.

Supporting Chazz are Samuel Tejera and Chris Goudreault, who each bring a different style — Tejera’s sure hands and short-yardage work have been vital (153 yards, 3 TDs), while Goudreault adds 182 yards and 4 TDs as a deep threat. Mario Pisanelli and Markus Corsi round out one of the deepest receiver groups in Division F, each with 3 touchdowns of their own. This team spreads the ball around with purpose.

Defensively, Rosemere is solid. Kyle McGilton, Duncan Lessard, and Samuel Tejera have been steady tacklers and smart in coverage. The defense thrives off creating turnovers and shortening the field — and in most games this year, they’ve completely overwhelmed opposing QBs with pressure and good coverages.

Rosemere may not have the cleanest stat sheet in terms of giveaways, but their ceiling is as high as any team’s. If they can reduce the risk on offense and continue dominating on defense, they have a real shot to go the distance.

4. The Dolphins (3–1)

Last game: Bye
The Dolphins entered their Week 5 bye sitting quietly at 3–1 — but don’t let the modest record fool you. This is one of the most balanced teams in Division F, boasting the highest-scoring offense per game and a defense capable of making timely stops. Their only loss came in a tight contest against PSTM, and they’ve looked sharper with every outing.

The leader of the offense is Devyn Sandler, who holds the highest QB rating in the division (102.1) and averages a division-best 11.4 yards per comp. He’s been smart, accurate, and aggressive — throwing 11 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions. The Dolphins are also one of the few teams to use multiple quarterbacks effectively, with Gianluca Pietrantonio and Gianni Rossi both stepping in and finding the end zone when needed.

Their receiving corps is headlined by Adam Malinoff, who leads Division F in receiving yards (315) and is tied for the league lead in touchdowns (7). He’s the type of player who can take over a game at any moment, whether it’s a contested deep ball or a quick slant he turns into a house call. Supporting him is a deep cast: Mitchell Kobernick and Gianluca Pietrantonio have both provided red zone scoring, while Jason Rudie, and James Taite have added speed and versatility to the offense.

On defense, they’re built around hustle and instinct. Malinoff again plays both ways and has 3 interceptions, while Gianluca Pietrantonio and Owen Emergui have also come up with game-changing picks. The Dolphins don’t always dominate defensively, but they deliver in big moments.

With games still to come against struggling teams like MFGFA and Vengeance, The Dolphins are in a prime position to solidify a top-three seed. If they continue firing on all cylinders offensively and build a bit more consistency on defense, this group could easily be playing in the final week of the season.

5. Gamblers (3–2)

Last game: W 29–22 vs Vengeance
Don’t look now, but the Gamblers are heating up. After starting 0–2, they’ve reeled off three straight wins — averaging over 27 points per game during that span. It hasn’t always been pretty, but they’re beginning to find their rhythm on both sides of the ball and now sit in a good spot.

Quarterback Alex De Luca is settling in after a shaky start, posting 10 touchdowns and 407 yards while improving his decision-making. His 9 interceptions remain a concern, but he’s been more poised in recent weeks. His top deep threat, Mathew Antonios, has been electric — with 227 yards, 5 touchdowns, and a jaw-dropping 25.2 yards per catch (best in Division F). That kind of big-play potential has completely opened up their offense.

The supporting cast around Antonios is also stepping up. Giovanni Dalissio brings sure hands (83 yards, 2 TDs), while Gabriel Estinvil, Peter Ntoulis, and Chris Toroyan all provide some versatility. The Gamblers may not have the deepest receiving unit, but their chemistry is growing every week.

On defense, Mathew Antonios continues to shine — not just as a receiver, but as a key defender with 3 INTs and 2 sacks. Jeremy Joseph has been solid in coverage, and Ben Coffin has quietly contributed 4 pass deflections. The defensive identity is still forming, but they’ve done enough to win three straight, including holding Maggots to just 6 points in Week 5.

The next two games will be critical: a heavyweight tilt with Jamaican Bobsled Team, followed by a test against a surging First Down Sniffers squad. If the Gamblers can win one or both, they’ll be in the upper tier of the standings. Their margin for error is small — but with an improving QB and a legit game-breaker in Antonios, this team might just have what it takes.

6. First Down Sniffers (3–3)

Last game: W 25–24 vs PSTM
This was the signature win they’ve been waiting for. In a back-and-forth showdown with the previously unbeaten PSTM, the Sniffers came up clutch — earning their third win of the season and evening their record at .500. Few teams have improved more week to week than this group, and now they’re starting to look like a legitimate playoff threat.

Quarterback Mathieu Couturier has made noticeable strides with each game. He’s up to 13 touchdown passes on the season, throwing for 605 yards at a steady 9.3 yards per comp. What’s more impressive is his growing poise in late-game situations — like leading the team to a game-winning drive in Week 5 against the division’s top seed.

His chemistry with Philippe Desjardins is undeniable. Desjardins leads the entire division in receiving touchdowns (7) and has become one of the most dangerous short-yardage and red zone threats in Division F. But the offense doesn’t end there — Olivier Lledo and Guillaume Couture bring consistent production (347 combined yards), while Jason Paquette, and Andrew Laflamme provide solid rotational depth and sure hands.

Defensively, the Sniffers are trending up. Olivier Lledo and Philippe Desjardins both have multiple interceptions and have been steady in coverage, while Alexis Desjardins leads the team in pass deflections and added a defensive touchdown in Week 4.

With a massive Week 7 showdown looming against the Gamblers, the Sniffers have a chance to move up the standings and solidify themselves in the playoff mix. If their defense continues to deliver and Couturier stays confident, this team could be a real sleeper in the second half of the season.

7. Maggots (3–3)

Last game: L 6–25 vs Gamblers
After starting 3–1, the Maggots have hit a tough midseason skid, dropping two straight games and struggling to score more than 22 points in any of them. The talent is clearly there, but execution and consistency — particularly on offense — have been the difference between wins and losses. Still, at 3–3 with tiebreaker opportunities ahead, they remain very much in the playoff conversation.

Quarterback Feng Jiang is a high-risk, high-reward player. He ranks 4th in the division in passing yards (595) and touchdowns (13), but also leads all QBs in interceptions (15). His aggressive playstyle can open up big gains — and just as quickly, short fields for the opposition. The offensive line has also struggled at times, allowing a division-high 8 sacks.

That said, his connection with Matthew Arns has been one of the team’s biggest strengths. Arns has 168 yards and 5 touchdowns in just 4 games, making him one of the division’s most efficient scoring threats. Justin Lee leads the team in targets (26) and is a steady chain-mover, while Mitchell Dolan, Matthew Tawa, and Madison Arns round out a diverse receiver group capable of breaking out on any given Sunday.

Defensively, the Maggots have been solid.. Mitchell Dolan leads the division in sacks with 4, and has added 2 interceptions and 3 pass deflections, establishing himself as one of the best two-way players in Division F. Feng Jiang also plays both ways and ranks 2nd in the league with 7 interceptions.

Their schedule ahead features multiple games against mid-tier and bottom-tier teams — meaning a bounce-back is well within reach. But for that to happen, the Maggots will need to limit turnovers and stay disciplined on defense. The talent is there. Now it’s about settling down, playing clean football, and trusting their playmakers to do the rest.

8. Vengeance (1–4)

Last game: L 22–29 vs Gamblers
It took until Week 5, but Vengeance finally got into the win column with a gutsy 32–28 victory over Make Football Great Again. Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep the momentum going later in the week, falling to the Gamblers in a game that was close until the final drive. At 1–4, their margin for error is almost gone — but they’ve shown flashes of being more competitive than their record suggests.

Quarterback Matthew Chadwick has the tools to succeed, but he’s struggled. He leads the league in pass attempts (155), but ranks near the bottom in completion percentage (41.3%) and passer rating (42.2). That said, his willingness to push the ball downfield give this offense big-play potential — and in Week 5, we saw what happens when things click.

His top receiver has been Josh Currie, who leads the team in targets (41), receptions (22), and touchdowns (3). Currie is a volume receiver who has shown the ability to find soft spots in zone coverage. Will Champagne and Jean-Sébastien Roussy have both emerged as reliable secondary options, while Liem Pham, Dominic Savoie, and Mbaye Diagne provide strong effort and versatility. The pieces are there — they just haven’t been in sync long enough to close out games.

Looking ahead, Vengeance’s schedule includes matchups against Maggots, Dolphins, and First Down Sniffers — all teams hovering around .500 or better. If they can play clean on offense and keep generating takeaways, there’s still a slim playoff path. But the time to turn things around is now.

9. Under/Over Achievers (1–4)

Last game: L 13–19 vs Jamaican Bobsled Team
They’ve been in several close games, including a one-score loss to Jamaican Bobsled Team in Week 5. The pieces are starting to come together on both sides of the ball, and if they can finish stronger in the second half of games, this team is more than capable of going on a run.

The offense is headlined by Kyle Wagland, who has 130 yards and 4 touchdowns in just three games — providing a reliable target in the red zone and on crossing routes. Ryan Stern has also stepped up with 143 yards and a touchdown, while Aidan Yardley-Jones and Alèn Huskanovic give QB Cacciatore additional options underneath. With more consistency in their route-running and spacing, this group has the potential to become a real headache for opposing defenses.

Defensively, they’re beginning to make some noise. Ryan Stern leads the unit with 14 tackles and 4 pass deflections, showing great range and instinct in the secondary. Kyle Wagland and Chris Cacciatore (yes, both playing both ways) have chipped in with interceptions, and Benoît Dumas adds a sack.. Alex Courant, despite only playing two games so far, already has 2 interceptions and could be a difference-maker if he’s active moving forward.

At 1–4, the path to the playoffs is narrow, but not impossible. With upcoming games against teams like The Dolphins and MFGFA, Under/Over Achievers could string together wins — but they’ll need to finish games better and stay disciplined. Don’t count them out just yet.

10. Make Football Great Again! (0–5)

Last game: L 28–32 vs Vengeance
Despite the 0–5 record, MFGFA finally showed signs of life in Week 5. Their 28-point outburst against Vengeance was their highest-scoring game of the season and proved this group has potential — they just haven’t been able to put together a complete game. Still, for a team in a developmental division like Division F, the season isn’t about the record — it’s about growth, chemistry, and learning how to win.

Quarterback Adam Fellen has had an up-and-down campaign. He’s thrown 4 touchdowns and 6 interceptions, while also being sacked 8 times — the most of any QB in the division.

His top targets have been Benjamin Amzallag and Jeremiah Zimmerman, both of whom found the end zone early in the season and have shown the ability to create separation. Dylan Dayan, Yoel Oliel, and David Israel have also contributed steady hands and effort. While the offense doesn’t have a true game-breaker yet, they’re learning spacing, timing, and route concepts with each game — and that matters at this level.

Defensively, the team has struggled to stop big plays, giving up a division-worst 134 points through five games. Still, there are positives to build on. Samuel Amsellem and Justin Fraschetti have both recorded interceptions. Nethanel Serruya and Alexandre Banon have shown flashes as well — but the team lacks consistency and communication on defense.

Looking ahead, MFGFA’s schedule includes matchups against The Dolphins, Rosemere Rhino Pills, and Under/Over Achievers. While playoffs are unlikely, that doesn’t mean the season can’t end on a high note. Continued growth, simplified schemes, and a few basic plays (like the ones we introduced above) could be the key to finally breaking through.
