Calvin holding top tier this far into season is not something AF has seen since 2021 when Ricky dominated MPO with a 4.2 avg on the season for E+M events. Through the first 5 Elite events in 2021, Ricky averaged 4.0. Through the 5 Elite events so far in 2023, Calvin is averaging 2.2.
This is first week AF remembers just 1 MPO player on 2nd tier. That tier averages 6th to 11th place in E+M events. While some are there with the last 3 avg, their season numbers need the positive trend to continue to legit occupy the tier.
A month ago, Eagle was outside the top 15 for AF rankings. Now he is #3 overall, and apparently getting stronger.

The rest of tier 3 is in this portion of rankings. These players averaging about 12th through 20th so far in 2023. Still quite early in the season.
Proctor is registered for all the events coming up, and holding onto 10th position. Supreme fantasy value, especially with ratings update next week.

Isaac over his past 2 events is playing even better than Eagle. And yet, AF rankings are driven by data. His E+M season average has him on 5th tier. Add in Silver events and prominent A, and he's at top of tier 4, just behind Silas. Rising like a superstar.
AF had Mason Ford and Proctor in tie for 10 heading into Jonesboro. Proctor won that battle 11 to 64, dropping Mason down 10 spots in rankings.
Cole's 23rd place finish at Jonesboro brings him back to 4th tier. And now Kevin Jones, Presnell and Conrad are knocking on the door.
