It was a record setting week in The Rad Dynasty, starting with our player of the week Josh Allen. He scored 6 TDs (3 rushing and 3 passing) while passing for 342 yards and rushing for 82. His 57.88 points were a Rad Dynasty record, and helped lift Dynastic Dan to a new record point total of 218.48 points this week. This record has been broken 3 times in the last month or two. Once by Dynastic Dan, then by Show me the TDs, then this week by Dynastic Dan again. Show me the TDs had the record for only one week! Crazy to think about.
Dynastic Dan (11-3) 218.48 vs ned's rollers (7-7) 156.27
No team had any chance against Dynastic Dan this week, with Josh Allen's giant performance. Also helping fuel the record setting performance were Jamarr Chase (39.35) and Chase Brown (21.9). This normally would have been a winning performance from ned, but even 156 points weren't enough this time around. Ned is in the middle of a startling collapse. The reigning champ began the year 7-2, but is now on a five game losing streak and has been eliminated from playoff contention. Dynastic Dan looks to wrap up the #1 seed next week with a win over the crappy Killing Fields.
Teflon Don (7-7) 178.05 vs Alice in Horns (10-4) 171.61
This one is a bit of a surprise. Teflon Don is no joke and has shown that he can hang with anyone this year. I think he had a really good draft and has a lot of great young talent on his team. He is in prime position in 2025 if he can have another great draft to jump straight into the contender bracket.
Alice's loss only effects possible playoff seeding. While Yahoo shows Alice in 4th place behind TDs or Bust in the standings, Alice is actually the 3rd seed because she holds the head to head tiebreaker. If things hold, Alice would play Fergalicious in the playoffs and The Ole Dutch would face off against Dynastic Dan.
TDs or Bust (10-4) 119.82 vs TBone's Terrific Team (4-10) 97.96
If this had been almost any other team, TDs or Bust might have been in trouble this week, as this team massively underperformed. Luckily they had a good matchup for them against TBone. This win cements TDs or Bust in the playoffs, as they would have had to lose all their remaining games for anyone else to have a chance. TBone has now lost nine in a row after a 4-1 start.
My Team (6-8) 101.37 vs Bluth Company (2-12) 35.70
What in the tarnation was this final score? This almost certainly seems be a game where a team tanked for playoff positioning. Bluth has always been competitive, despite the poor record. Heck, he beat me a few weeks ago and also almost upset TDs or Bust right after. Not setting a lineup seems awfully suspicious here, especially considering it has not been done all season long. I'm watching you, Bluth Company!
Bluth has now secured the #1 pick in next year's draft, where he will have his pick of the litter among incoming rookies and unrostered free agents. My Team's season comes to a close next week, but you have to be impressed by how they turned things around after the 0-5 start. This team started to become respectable after a while. Hopefully they do something with their solid draft positioning next year and take a step into contender status.
Show me the TDs (8-6) 167.64 vs BDB's Jet Setters (4-10) 116.22
Show me the TDs has quietly had an excellent season. They've moved up to second in total points scored AND has a chance to finish with a 9-6 record if they win next week... but they will still miss the playoffs. Tough luck, especially considering this team has had two 1 point losses. This team would be the team no one would want to play in the playoffs. Just shows how tough this league has been, with only four teams making the postseason. Every regular season game essentially carries the importance of a playoff game. And sometimes it comes down to just one point.
On the other side of things, BDB has certainly had a disappointing season after making the playoffs in 2023. Hopefully they can use the strong pieces they have, like Saquon, Diggs, Aaron Jones, and Justin Herbert, and build around them through the draft.
Fergalicious (11-3) 121.98 vs The Killing Fields (4-10) 86.30
This was a somewhat meaningless game. Fergalicious has already clinched a playoff spot and is just waiting to see who they'll play in the first round. The Killing Fields has clearly given up on the season already and has most likely clinched the #2 pick in the draft.
Of all the playoff teams, Fergalicious has drawn probably the toughest matchup in week 15 (against Show me the TDs). They seem pretty well locked into the 2 or 3 seed though. They have an off chance at the #1 seed if they win next week and Dynastic Dan loses. But Dan has the much, much easier matchup.
The only real intrigue left? Draft positioning and playoff seeding. Week fifteen is coming up next week, and thus will conclude the 2024 Rad Dynasty regular season.
