Matchup: The Avengers (1-2) settled their uncertainty at quarterback Tuesday when they waived Ryan Van Dyke Van Dyke (or van/Van Dijk or Dyk etc) is a surname of Dutch origin. It refers to:

Sir Anthony van Dyck, (1599 – 1641), Flemish-born painter who lived in England
Barry Van Dyke (born 1951), American actor, son of Dick Van Dyke

. That gave the job to Brian Mann, who has the responsibility of improving an Avengers offense that has scored 114 points in three games, worst among all 18 teams in the league. The Rush (1-2), expected to be among the league's premier teams, have been solid on offense behind new quarterback Matt D'Orazio, but have allowed the fourth-most points in the league.
