By the numbers: 144.0 points per game (Week 1: 138.6, Week 2: 149.3), a +10.7 trend, season high of 149.3 and a floor of 138.6. The arrow is pointing sideways.
At 2-0, Marnie are one of the league's last unbeatens. The parade route is being planned. The parade will be one guy in a jersey honking a horn, but still.
Riding a W-2 streak into this week. Momentum is real, say people who have never watched fantasy football.
Marnie has the quiet confidence of someone whose team is good and knows it. The rest of the league has noticed. The rest of the league is annoyed.
The difference-makers: Geno Smith, Omarion Hampton, Breece Hall, Jaxon Smith-Njigba. If two of them hit on the same Sunday, Marnie can beat anyone in this league. If none do — well, the game log tells that story.
