Sullivan leads the passing yards race but Wang holds the edge in touchdowns, a split at the top that makes the quarterback conversation one of the most interesting in the league right now. Rhein Fire’s dominance in the interceptions category is hard to ignore, with three of their defensive backs tied at the top of the list. Up front, Vienna Vikings are making life very difficult for opposing quarterbacks, with Fernandez and Wappl combining for seven and a half sacks between them. With eight weeks still to play, there is plenty of time for these standings to shift, but the players at the top of each list have earned their spot.
