2025 Rad Dynasty Year End Awards

Just like I did the last two seasons, I will be handing out some end of season awards as we head into the offseason.

In case you want to look back at previous years awards, here they are:

>2023<

>2024<

Rad Bowl MVP:

This was already touched upon in the final week recap, so I won't spend too much time here, but this award goes to Chase Brown for Dynastic Dan. Not only was he the title game MVP with 27.6 points, he had 30.9 in the playoff game before. Not only the MVP of the Rad Bowl, but the playoffs overall. 

2024 winner: Lamar Jackson, Skattebo Doesn't Know

2023 winner: CeeDee Lamb, Ned's rollers

Worst Draft Pick:

This year's winner is Kaleb Johnson for Teflon Don. This one has to hurt, taking Johnson at the 1.06. He was a complete bust his rookie year, and contributed literally nothing to fantasy football. You can't even blame Teflon Don for taking him, as I was high on Johnson coming into the draft. I personally would have taken Treveyon Henderson at the 1.06, but it was a gamble that didn't pay off for my good brother Chris. Maybe Kaleb will get it together, but it is going to be tough being stuck behind Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell (who had a surprisingly good year).

2024 winner: Pat Freiermuth at 1.01, TBone's Terrific Team

2023 winner: not an award yet

Best waiver wire pickup:

This award goes to Jaylen Warren for Show me the TDs. It was a toss up between Warren and Rico Dowdle for Ned's team. But I went with Warren, even though Dowdle outscored him by 3 points. Warren was a mainstay in Sean's lineup, and consistently produced week in and week out. Dowdle was a great pickup as well, but he was left on the bench from time to time. One of his big spike weeks was even missed by ned. So I am going with the more consistent player. 

Warren was one of the first, if not the first waiver pickups in the league. He was originally on my roster, but I had "too many running backs" and dropped him after the draft, while keeping losers like Trey Benson on my team. Probably my worst mistake this year, even though I did end up winning the title.

2024 winner: Bo Nix, TDs or Bust

2023 winner: Kyren Williams, Alice in Horns

Defensive Player of the Year:

This award goes to Jordyn Brooks for AR12 is Weird. Brooks was a "set it and forget it" IDP option for AR12 is Weird. He was the #1 IDP in football, and a massive reason AR12 had such a remarkable turnaround season. In fact, this team in general, even under its old manager, has always produced good IDP play. This is now its second DPoY award.

He outscored Jack Campbell for TDs or Bust by 3 points. Campbell also would have been a worthy winner, but I have to go with the guy who scored more points and played for a team that finished second in the standings. If I don't go by points, what else should I go by?

2024 winner: Zaire Franklin, TDs or Bust

2023 winner: Foyesade Oluokun, The Killing Fields (AR12 is Weird).

Offensive Player of the Year:

In other words, the non quarterback award. It easily goes to Christian McCaffrey for ned's rollers. He was the #1 skill player in football, by a 30 point margin ahead of second place Jonathan Taylor. Unlike Taylor, CMC was remarkably consistent this season. He only had a couple underperforming games all year (and I think they were all against me). 

In addition, the midseason CMC trade was perhaps the biggest in-season move in Rad Dynasty history. Ned essentially went all in on a player who he thought could win him a title. It didn't work that way, but you can't fault him for the gamble. As the #1 highest scoring non QB in fantasy, CMC was a slam dunk for this award - which he wins for the second time in three years.

2024 winner: Ja'Marr Chase, Dynastic Dan

2023: Christian McCaffrey, Bluth Company

Rookie of the Year:

This award feels a little underwhelming, as Jeanty didn't truly have the breakout season everyone expected for Bluth Company. But still, he finished as the top rookie skill player, scoring 40 more points than second place Tet McMillan. Jaxson Dart could possibly have won this award, but he only started one game for Dynastic Dan. Tyler Warren and Emeka Egbuka started hot and could have won this had they not dropped off the face of the earth. Henderson flashed off and on, but rarely started for Dynastic Dan. Hunter, Hampton, and Skattebo all missed a massive amount of time with injuries. Overall, it was a disappointing year for rookies all around. A dark horse that could have won this was Harold Fannin, as he had a pretty good rookie year for the Browns. And TE is an important position in this league. But he wasn't anywhere near Jeanty as far as total points scored. RJ Harvey started to explode at the end of the year, as well.

2024 winner: Brock Bowers, My Team

2023 winner: Puka Nacua, Alice in Horns

Kicker of the Year:

Everyone's favorite award of the year goes to Jason Myers for BDB. He was the #1 kicker in football, which surprised me because I thought it would have been Brandon Aubrey. But nope. Myers was ahead of him by 16 points. The next closest kicker was actually Kai'mi Fairbairn for Dynastic Dan, but he bounced around too much this season, going from Skattebo Doesn't Know to Dynastic Dan to the waiver wire, was out a game or two, and then went back to Dynastic Dan. Otherwise I would have loved to crown him the winner. He's always a kicker I target in fantasy leagues.

2024 winner: Brandon Aubrey, Show me the TDs 

2023 winner: not an award yet

Rad Dynasty MVP:

This was a difficult choice, because Josh Allen wasn't the #1 player in fantasy. That accomplishment goes to Matthew Stafford for TDs or Bust. Why didn't Stafford get the award, then? Because he was an on again, off again player for TDs or Bust. Sometimes he started. Sometimes Drake Maye started. Even Daniel Jones got some action early in the season. But Josh Allen? He was an automatic lock for Dynastic Dan's lineup.

Allen was a steady force for this year's champ. He didn't seem quite as impressive as year's past, as it seems like he had a few more dud weeks than normal, offset by some massive explosion games. But even "not as impressive as last year" Josh Allen is still good enough to be the MVP of this league. #2 quarterback in fantasy, #2 player in fantasy, and QB of the team that won the title. Looks like a pretty clear case to me.

2024 winner: Lamar Jackson, Skattebo Doesn't Know

2023 winner: Jalen Hurts, Ned's rollers

Manager of the Year:

This clearly has to go for Scotty, right? He became the first person to take over a team in league history, replacing The Killing Fields, who went 4-11 last year. In fact, John from The Killing Fields actually won the award for worst manager last year, which makes this accomplishment even more impressive. From worst managed team and 4-11 to the #2 seed in the league. Doesn't get any better than that.

2024 winner: Dynastic Dan

2023 winner: ned's rollers

Worst Manager of the Year:

Yup, this award goes to my Uncle Peter. I don't know what went wrong here, but this team had a decent draft and was projected by Yahoo to go 10-5 this year. Instead, they went 2-13 and had the worst team in the league. Injured players were left in the lineup, bye weeks weren't accounted for, a minimal amount of moves were made. I messaged my uncle a few times about this and he would say that yahoo keeps logging him out. I'm not sure if anyone else has had a problem repeatedly getting logged out of Yahoo, but if this is happening, this is something that needs to be brought to Yahoo directly. I can't really do anything about it. Or log in and stay logged in on other devices, or something. Hopefully next year is a new story. Peter has the 1.01 in the draft and honestly he has a pretty good team that could make a postseason run next year, especially with the playoffs being expanded to 2 extra teams.

2024 winner: The Killing Fields (John) - now AR12 is Weird

2023 winner: Tbone's Terrific Team (Tim)

2026 Rad Dynasty Offseason Tracker

Thanks for taking part in season 3 of The Rad Dynasty! Below is a complete list of everyone's team assets. I've already went ahead and added your taxi players to your teams. I'm not going to make you wait like I did last year. 

You will all have until August 1st, 2026 to drop your team to the normal range of 15-20 players. Just send me a private message of who you are cutting, and I will update this tracker (and later, the Yahoo board). I will be sending out reminders 10 days in advance of the cut deadline. Until then, enjoy the offseason! The draft will be on the first Sunday of August, as normal. That date is August 2nd.

If you wish, you can engage in offseason trades. I have everyone's contact info at the bottom of this post. Message each other, work out whatever trade you want to make, and message me. Remember, if you trade a draft pick you must get a draft pick (from that same season) in return. Sorry, but it is just how Yahoo works. If you trade a future draft pick, just message me and I will note it and update Yahoo whenever I can. For example, last offseason, BDB traded me his 2027 first rounder for Garrett Wilson and my 2027 5th. So there is not really anything I can do with the draft capital part of this trade right now, since the 2026 draft is the next one coming up. I just write it down on my tracker and then NEXT year I worry about it.

I've also decided that this year, you can include FAB in your trades. But you can only use the money listed below. You can't dip into the 100 you will be getting next year.

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT (1/16/26) TDs or Bust sends the 5.08 and George Pickens to Dynastic Dan for Josh Downs, Mark Andrews, and the 1.12 in the draft.

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT (1/16/26) Show me the TDs sends his own 2027 1st round pick to Teflon Don for AJ Brown and his 2027 4th round pick.

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT (3/17/26) TDs or Bust sends the 1.12 and Drake Maye to BDB for the 1.04 and Travis Hunter.

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT (3/22/26) Dynastic Dan sends Trey Benson, Jacory Crosskey-Merritt, and the 2.12 to Bluth Company for the 2.05.

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT (3/22/26) Bluth Company sends the 1.09 to Ned for Alec Pierce and the 5.09

The Rad Dynasty 2025 Season Playoffs: The Rad Bowl (3.17)

We've reached the end of our 3rd season in this league and we have a new totally rad champion: me! Dynastic Dan took out TDs or Bust to win season 3 of this league. Woo hoo. A winner is me. In three seasons, this is now the third different team to win a title:

Ned in 2023

Mike in 2024

Dan in 2025 

So far no real dynasties have taken hold. TDs or Bust has the best regular season record across three seasons of this league, but he has lost in the title game twice. Dan finished the #1 team in the regular season two years in a row, but only has one title to show for it. Ned is consistently great. Mike's team is always dangerous.

Before we move on, let's give overdue props to Chase Brown for Dynastic Dan! Usually the player of the week award goes to the highest scoring player overall, but I can't give basically the Super Bowl MVP award to someone on the losing team, which would have been Bijan with 37.4 points. Instead the award goes to Chase Brown. He led Dynastic Dan's team with 27.6 fantasy points in the Bengals' game against the Cardinals.

Dynastic Dan 

(12-3 reg, 2-0 po, 14-3 ovrl) 

160.93

 vs 

TDs or Bust 

(11-4 reg, 1-1 po, 12-5 ovrl) 

142.81

This game gave me anxiety all the way to the very end. It started out well for me during the early games, as IDP Van Ginkel had 16 points for me, while Pickens and Gibbs, two of Perry's better players, combined for fewer points than that.

As the week went on, my team started to pull away. Chase Brown had his big game. Josh Allen salvaged a game he was sucking big time in with 2 late TDs. He finished with 23.18. Ja'Marr Chase had 21.5. Achane had 12.7. Even Harold Fannin got in on the action with 10. On the down side of that, Brian Thomas Jr and James Cook did not show up at all and massively underperformed. But still, I had a 71 point lead coming into Monday night.

Perry had London, Stafford, and Bijan left to play. Unfortunately for him, he left Drake Maye and his 42 points on the bench. But still, I had to sweat out the end of this, as Bijan was having a mammoth game. I also had Kyle Pitts, but he didn't really do anything in that game.

The actual NFL game was back and forth between the Rams and Falcons. There were several near misses by Stafford late in that game that could have been touchdowns. This finished as an 18 point margin in our fantasy matchup. But it felt closer than that. If Stafford throws a TD, there goes 7 or 8 points to Perry. Then it's a 10 point game. Now Atlanta gets the ball back. Who would probably get the ball? Bijan. And then imagine the game goes to overtime. I had all kinds of nightmare scenarios rattling around in my head.

It's funny to say I had to sweat out the game when I ended up winning by 18, but that's exactly what happened. In the end, I was able to breathe easy and celebrate winning my first title in this league. As I said in text, it doesn't quite "feel right" for some reason to win my own league. I remember being kind of relieved when I lost last season. But this year I was like you know what? I want to win, darn it. There is so much luck involved in fantasy football. No matter how good your team looks or how well you've built it, a random bad week could knock you out in the playoffs before they've barely even started. Injuries play a major part, too. I came into this season thinking I was stacked at WR, and now in the title game I had to end up playing Brian Thomas Jr, who has been complete ass this season, because all my other guys are either on IR or rookie prospects that I can't trust. So I know going into next season that I still have things to work on.

I hope everyone enjoyed, and I will be posting a big write up in the next day or two where I show:

1. Everyone's draft picks going into next year

2. Everyone's roster going into next year

3. A deadline to make roster cuts that will drop you from whatever you have down to 15-20

4. Everyone's FAB getting carried over to next year

5. Everyone's contact information in case you want to make any offseason trades

6. A more detailed explanation of how offseason trades work (basically you message each other, make the deal, message me, and then I update my offseason tracker. When the next season opens on Yahoo, I update the changes - whether they be roster changes or draft pick trades, on the actual Yahoo page)

I also have to do the season awards soon, too. So look forward to that.

Congrats to Perry for his second place finish. He puts a lot of thought into his roster and making trades, and I thoroughly appreciate how big of a player he's been in this league. Shout out to Scotty as well. Taking over a bad team and leading it to the #2 seed and the playoffs. Shout out to Ned for being consistently great. Shout out to TBone for being consistently terrible. Shout out to all of you. You are who makes this league fun, and I look forward to doing it again next year.

The Rad Dynasty 2025 Season Playoffs, Round 1 (3.16)

Round 1 of the playoffs has concluded. We are down to two teams: TDs or Bust (Perry) vs Dynastic Dan (me) for the championship. Before we talk about that, let's recognize Chase Brown and his 30.9 points as the player of the week in week one of the playoffs. Brown was a giant part in lifting me to the big win over ned.

This was an interesting player of the week, because non playoff players were not eligible. Otherwise Brock Purdy and his 40.9 would have been the winner. Matthew Stafford would have won it for TDs or Bust with his 36.88 points, but he was left on the bench. So it goes to Chase Brown, who edges out Christian McCaffrey by 1 point.

Dynastic Dan (1) 180.10 vs ned's rollers (4) 164.85

A good high scoring game to kick off the playoffs. Ned is a league legend, winning the title in year one and making the playoffs a second time this year. Perry is the only team to make the playoffs all three seasons. So making it twice is a great accomplishment. Ned was also the #1 scoring team in the regular season. Not your average #4 seed.

Luckily my team seems to save its best for when I play ned. I managed to beat ned all three times we played this season, and my point totals in those games were 180.67, 178.79, and 180.10. Which is well above what I normally score. And I did it without Josh Allen, who crapped the bed with 6.9 points. James Cook (25.9), Chase Brown (30.9), and De'Von Achane (16.5) were a 3-headed beast at RB. And my tight ends killed it too, as Pitts had 15.2 and Fannin had 18.25. Even my kicker Fairbairn got in on it with 16 points.

Sweeping ned in three games is something I consider a great accomplishment because of how great he is as an opponent. Hats off to him for being the ultimate Rad Dynasty professional. I fully expect him to be a contender once again next season.

TDs or Bust (3) 164.50 vs AR12 is Weird (2) 104.70

TDs or Bust (Perry) has been one of the most successful teams in the Rad Dynasty. They are the winningest team in the regular season, and have made the finals twice in three years. This win was fueled by Drake Maye (27.7) Bijan (26.3) and Jack Campbell (21.5). But they didn't even need all that, as Scotty's team completely failed to show up at all. It was a bad week to have your worst week of the season. 

Hats off to Scotty for turning around such a neglected team, though. Now he's got a full year's cycle to make moves in the offseason and draft with clear team needs in mind. Maybe the team overperformed expectations but I wouldn't say it was a "fraud" by any stretch of the imagination.

--

Now that the dust has settled, it is time to look at the title match:

It is only fitting it comes down to these two teams. Perry is the guy who got me into fantasy and dynasty football to begin with. It's like the master meeting the apprentice. Of all the people in the league, me and him probably obsess over it the most. There's a reason I scheduled the match as a "rivalry week" back in week one. 

The season series was remarkably close, with each team winning via a blowout. Not only did they split the series 1-1, but they were very close in the standings as well, separated by just 1 game in the win column and 31 in the points column. This final game is the rubber match in the series. 

Overall, Perry trails the all-time regular season series 1-3. That one win came towards the end of the year in week 12, though. I truly feel this game could go either way.

When it comes to being a true dynasty in the Rad Dynasty, I feel like both these teams are on the cusp. My team is pretty solid, even stacked you may say. I think I've drafted well and made good trades. I should be good for a long time. But you can't be a dynasty if you don't win a title. You can't go 0-2 in championship games and consider yourself a dynasty.

You can say the same thing about TDs or Bust. He's the all-time winningest team in Rad Dynasty history. But again, you can't go 0-2 in title games and still be a dynasty.

Anyway, that's all I got for now. May the best team win. I hope it's me, but I'll be happy to put Perry in the Rad Dynasty record books as well. I truly feel like the two best teams are here in the title game. That's one of the reasons I had the playoffs at four teams these first three years. I wanted it to just be the best of the best at the end. And it has been. But I also want people to have fun and I want everyone to have a chance. It's no fun when you're out of contention with 5 games still left on the schedule. So I think moving to six next year is going to be great for everyone involved.

Including trades, here is the updated first round draft order:

1.01 My Team

1.02 Teflon Don (via TBone)

1.03 Teflon Don

1.04 BDB

1.05 Bluth

1.06 Alice

1.07 Skattebo Doesn't Know

1.08 Show me the TDs

1.09 Bluth (via ned)

1.10 AR12 is Weird

*final two teams subject to change*

1.11 Show me the TDs (via TDs or Bust)

1.12 Dynastic Dan

And if you are interested, I updated the post about everyone's all time records in the league. You can look at it HERE

Week Fifteen Recap: The Rad Dynasty 2025 Season! (3.15)

The regular season comes to a close. We are locked in and ready for the playoffs to begin. Our last player of the week for the regular season is Bo Nix for Bluth Company. He had 37.08 points for Bluth Company. Unfortunately it was not enough to lift Bluth to a win in the season finale. Fun note: the players of the week could have been Trevor Lawrence (54.30) or Kyle Pitts (40.10) but both players were left on the bench by their managers.

Observations from each game:

Me vs My Team: this was a game where I felt I was okay with winning or losing. It's not like My Team has been much of a threat this season. Winning would pretty much lock me into a matchup with ned, who always has my number in the playoffs, so I went with an experimental lineup. Would you look at that? It ended up working out for me anyway. I seems like I haven't had a boom week in a while. And that was even with Rome Odunze with a zero in my lineup because he was ruled out at the last possible moment before kickoff (I was in a car driving to Madison, WI at the time and didn't see the notification). And imagine if I'd started Kyle Pitts and his 40 points! I'm not looking forward to my matchup with ned in the playoffs though.

Alice vs Bluth: Nice to see Alice go out with a win. This game had no playoff implications, but with the loss, Bluth moves up to the 1.05 in next year's draft instead of the 1.06.

Skattebo vs BDB: Another game with no playoff implications. Tough luck for team Mike, as he was in the top of the standings for over half the season before losing a few games at the end. Next year, this team would be in the playoffs as the 6th seed.

ned vs Teflon Don: a surprisingly good game, but ned gets the expected win. Teflon Don will come into next season with the 2nd and 3rd pick in the draft. Ned plays me in the first round of the playoffs. Even though I swept ned in the regular season, it is likely going to be a tough matchup for both teams.

Battle of the TDs: It was nice to see Sean come out on top but unfortunately due to getting swept by ned in the regular season, he misses out on the tiebreaker and ned goes into the postseason. It all comes back to that DJ Moore fumble on the last play of the game in week 1. If that doesn't happen, the roles are reversed. The loss drops Perry all the way down to the #3 seed (loses tiebreaker to Scotty).

AR12 vs TBone: Scotty needed to win this game to clinch a playoff berth, and he was able to come out on top over TBone, who has been winning some games lately. If Scotty had lost, that would have dropped him into a 3 way tie with Sean and ned, and he would have lost the tiebreaker based on points scored and missed the playoffs.

My bold predictions are Ned and Perry going to the finals. I do not feel confident about my team at all. I think Scotty could also pull off a big win. He did win the only matchup against Perry in the regular season. So technically he has the #2 seed and Perry is the #3 - despite what Yahoo says. It doesn't change the playoff matchup so I am not going to change it manually.

Final standings according to Yahoo:

But using the tiebreaker rules, here are the real final standings:

1 Dynastic Dan

2 AR12 is Weird (won season series with TDs or Bust 1-0)

3 TDs or Bust

4 Ned (swept show me the TDs)

5 Show me the TDs

6 Skattebo Doesn't Know

7 Alice (split season series, but scored more points than Bluth)

8 Bluth

9 BDB (swept Teflon Don)

10 Teflon Don

11 TBone

12 My Team

This is also the reverse draft order (starting at My Team with the first pick). Now, for those who want to know how the first round will go next year, look at this below. I mapped out the first round, with trades included:

First round order:

1.01 My Team

1.02 Teflon Don (via TBone)

1.03 Teflon Don

1.04 BDB

1.05 Bluth

1.06 Alice

1.07 Skattebo Doesn't Know

1.08 Show me the TDs

If the final regular season standings were also the final playoff standings*:

1.09 Bluth (via ned)

1.10 Show me the TDs (via TDs or Bust)

1.11 AR12 is Weird

1.12 Dynastic Dan

*subject to change

Just keep in mind, we won't know where the playoff teams will land in the draft order. For the two eliminated teams in round one, we go with the head to head tiebreaker. So if me and Scotty were both to lose in the first round, Scotty would get the better pick (the 1.09) because he lost the season series to me 1-0.

Also a note to eliminated teams: your rosters have been locked in Yahoo. I will now add your taxi players to your roster on my personal spreadsheet - which I will make public once the season is over. You will have your entire roster as it is now, plus your taxi player, to hang onto for the entire offseason. You don't need to trim down to 15-20 until the 10 days leading up to the draft, which will take place (per tradition) on the 1st Sunday in August.

So you have a LOT of time to mull over who you want to keep or cut. You can also use that time to wheel and deal with fellow managers and pull off some trades. Also a reminder that unused FAB will carry over to next season, where you will also be given a fresh $100.

I'll be making a complete "here is how the offseason works" post after the season ends.

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs and the consolation bracket. The consolation bracket counts for nothing, so don't worry about trying to tank it for a better draft pick, lol.

Week Fourteen Recap: The Rad Dynasty 2025 Season! (3.14)

Week 14's player of the week is Josh Allen for Dynastic Dan. He scored 4 touchdowns and had 43.84 fantasy points in Buffalo's win over Cincinnati. Unfortunately, Allen's heroic performance couldn't lift me to a victory, as the rest of my team fizzled out in a loss to Alice.

This was a week of parity, as we saw a handful of upset wins. Alice's win over Dynastic Dan was a big one. Alice has nothing left to play for this year, while I am fighting for the top seed in the playoffs. Unfortunately, this loss drops me to #2 in the standings for the first time in what seems like 2 seasons. Remember how I said in my last recap that I didn't like my team this year, and that I was worried I'd be one and done in the playoffs? It's this kind of performance, which is becoming all too common for my team, that makes me think that. Hats off to Alice though for avenging her loss in the playoffs last year. This win breaks an overall 4 game losing streak to Dynastic Dan (playoffs and regular season).

Another big upset was TBone knocking off ned. Remember, TBone started 0-9 this season. They've won three of their last five games to right the ship a little bit. Won't make the playoffs this year obviously, but things look a lot brighter for TBone going into year 4 of the league next season. On the flip side, this was a potentially devastating loss for ned. He is still the #4 seed in the playoffs, but barely. He holds both the points and head to head tiebreakers against Show me the TDs, but HAS to win against Teflon Don in week 15, or he is out. If he wins, he's in. Must be a frustrating game for ned, as he had the win in the bag until Jalen Hurts's last minute interception cost him two points. He ended up losing by less than two. And he forgot to put a defensive lineman in, too. Coulda woulda shoulda been a win for ned.

Another upset: Bluth against Skattebo Doesn't Know. This loss knocks defending champ Mike out of playoff contention. Bluth has quietly put together a competitive season, marred by a few ugly losses. Bluth will most benefit out of anyone from the expanded playoff field next season. I think he turns it around. On the flip side, we won't see Mike winning this season. Still no repeat champs in the Rad Dynasty. I think if ned wins the title, he can be considered the first true dynasty in the league, with titles in 2 of the first 3 seasons of the league. Otherwise, if Dan or Perry win, it could signal the start of their dynasties. They've already been dominating the regular season in this league. It seems like one of these teams is due to win it all this year.

You can't really consider this game an upset, because Sean was favored to score more points, but Show me the TDs took down #3 seeded AR12 is Weird. It would still take a miracle for Scotty to miss the playoffs, but Sean's hopes are still alive. He needs to win next week and hope for a ned loss. Or hope for a win, a ned win, and a Scotty loss. This would create a 3 way tie where he would have the chance to edge out Scotty based on points. I guess we'll see what happens. Sean has TDs or Bust on the horizon, and he's been one of the toughest teams in the league for the entire duration of it.

There were two relatively uneventful games: TDs or Bust's annihilation of My Team and BDB's win over Teflon Don. 

A look at the standings shows TDs or Bust and Dynastic Dan locked into the playoffs, currently with the #1 and #2 seeds. This is still subject to change though. Week 15 is going to determine a lot. Will ned or Sean make it in? Will Scotty drop out of the playoffs completely? What matchups will we be left with? What will the draft order look like?

If the season were to end today, the order would look like:

1.01: My Team

1.02: Teflon Don (via TBone)

1.03: BDB

1.04: Teflon Don

1.05: Alice

1.06: Bluth

1.07: Skattebo

1.08: show me the TDs (swept by ned)

1.09 to 1.12: (order undetermined) Dynastic Dan, AR12 is Weird, Show me the TDs (via TDs or Bust), Bluth (via ned).

One more week to go before it is playoff time!

Week Thirteen Recap: The Rad Dynasty 2025 Season! (3.13)

Here I am once again waiting until Wednesday night/Thursday morning to quickly throw a recap together before week 14 starts. This will probably be another short one. Let's start by giving props to player of the week Patrick Mahomes for AR12 is Weird. Mahomes had 37.44 fantasy points, leading Scotty to a win in his matchup and a 10-3 overall record. Good job! It seems like the player of the week awards have been really spread out this year, as opposed to last year when it was either Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, or Ja'Marr Chase winning every week. Should make the Rad MVP Fantasy MVP award awfully hard to hand out.

Implications for each game:

Dynastic Dan becomes the first team to clinch a playoff berth with the win. Even if I was to lose my last 2 games, the worst I could do is four losses. So yay good job to me. This was a rematch of last year's title game. Mike is going to be hard pressed to repeat as he now has five losses, and will need some back luck from the teams above him in the standings if he wishes to make the postseason.

Alice and BDB's game didn't have any implications, as both teams are eliminated already. 

Perry's win over Bluth didn't have too many implications either. Bluth had already been eliminated, and Perry is as close to clinching a playoff berth as you can get. All he pretty much has to do is beat 2-11 My Team next week and he is in.

My Team vs AR12 is Weird: not many implications either. It helps solidify Scotty's position as a postseason team. He essentially just has to win one more game and he's in. And one of his last two games is against TBone.

Ned's win against Show me the TDs. Now this game had implications. This was a devastating loss for Sean's team. With two games left, he is in the same boat as Skattebo Doesn't Know. He needs major bad luck from the teams above him to have a chance. He does have a chance to gain a game on Scotty, as he is matched up against him next week.

Teflon Don's win against TBone only really mattered as far as draft positioning. Teflon Don has TBone's first rounder next year, so he is probably hoping TBone finishes last. But in order for that to happen, TBone has to lose out, and My Team has to win one of its last two games. Hmm what will happen?

Please behold the updated standings:

I'm not feeling too great about being in first. I've given up the fewest points in the league so far, and I am worried that my luck is going to run out the second the postseason starts. If the season ended today, I'd be facing off against Ned. I would not feel comfortable with that matchup at all. No matter who plays who in the postseason, it is going to be a tough match.

If things stand as they are Scotty, Perry, and Ned will likely be clinching soon. Mike and Sean have outside chances at making the playoffs, but they really needed to win their matchups this week. They would have been in charge of their playoff fates. Now they need other teams to win to help them out. And they need to win out too. I haven't looked to see how the tiebreakers at the top shake out, but their best bet is ned losing one of his last two games. I guess we'll see how this week goes!

At the bottom of the pile, however, there are some great examples here of how I do head to head tiebreakers. This is how the first round of the draft would go (minus the playoff teams) if the season ended today:

first round:

#1: My Team (lost season series to TBone 0-1)

#2: Teflon Don (pick acquired from TBone)

#3: BDB (lost season series to Alice 0-2)

#4: Alice

#5: Teflon Don (lost season series to Bluth 0-1)

#6 Bluth

#7: Show me the TDs (tied season series with Skattebo Doesn't Know at 1-1, has fewer points scored)

#8: Skattebo Doesn't Know

#9, 10, 11, 12: ??? between Dynastic Dan, AR12 is Weird, Bluth, and Show me the TDs

Bluth owns ned's first round pick (acquired in McCaffrey trade)

Show me the TDs owns TDs or Bust's first round pick (acquired in Justin Jefferson trade)

So Teflon Don, Bluth, and Show me the TDs all have two first rounders next year. Great ammo for these guys to really refuel their teams. After the season ends, I'll be doing my usual offseason tracker of draft picks and who has whose picks. That'll make things a little less confusing if your eyes glazed over reading all this.

But I really hope you all are getting a hang of Dynasty and how this works as we near the end of year 3. Some of you are dynasty vets so I know you get it. But for those who this is their first dynasty league (and there are a lot of you) hopefully you're beginning to get the flow of it now.

And I want to make the offseason even easier to understand. This year when the year ends, I am immediately going to put your taxi player on your roster. You remember the taxi players, right? You picked one before the start of the season? Well, you are getting them back. They won't count against your roster limit either.

I am not going to enforce any "you must cut down to 20 players by xxx date" rules this time. I'm going to give you the entire offseason to hang onto all your players so you can make any trades you want. Assuming you have a fully rostered team with 25 players, 2 players on IR, and your taxi pick (who I'll put back on your team manually) that would give you 28 players to work with in the offseason. You may not have access to Yahoo in the offseason, as they often shut down when there is no fantasy football taking place, but I will manually track everyone's rosters and draft picks on a spreadsheet that I share with you, as I normally do.

Ten days before the draft (which will always be on the first Sunday of August) I will hit everyone up with the "you must trim down to between 15 and 20 players" message. That's when you'll finally have to trim down to meet roster requirements before the draft. But aside from that, you'll have the whole offseason to work with your players and wheel and deal and make draft moves. Theoretically, I could trade 5 players and a draft pick to one team for just one draft pick. So they'd have 33 players and I'd have 23 (assuming each team started with 28). And that would be totally fine. You don't have to trim down to the 15-20 requirement until the 10 day period before the draft. Like I said, you have the WHOLE offseason to wheel and deal your players.

And everyone is in the group text this year so hopefully we'll be seeing a lot more deals in the offseason. That's all I am going to talk about next year until more near the end of the season, so hit me up if you have questions.
