The Rad Dynasty 2024 Season: Week Fifteen Recap



The regular season is over, ladies and gents! While the playoff teams were determined last week, these matchups were important to determine the seeding and finalize our 2025 draft order. One last player of the week for the regular season: Jared Goff from My Team! Unfortunately, Goff's 494 passing yards and 5 TDs (51.06) were not enough to lift My Team to a season ending win against ned.


Dynastic Dan (12-3) 205.28 vs The Killing Fields (4-11) 128.56

Another blowout win for Dynastic Dan, who locks up the #1 seed in the playoffs. I am so proud of this team, which finished so poorly last year. This is now the 3rd time I've scored 200 points this season, which is wild. I obliterated the regular season scoring record in the Rad Dynasty, which was set by ned last year (2023). Ja'Marr Chase and Josh Allen have been taking this team to new heights. I won't be happy with anything less than a title win, especially considering I'm in 8 other fantasy leagues and I have not won a single playoff game in any of them. What a failure I've been after having a great regular season in all of them.


Show me the TDs (9-6) 145.19 vs Fergalicious (11-4) 140.10

This game ended up not meaning anything in the long run, as Fergalicious would have locked up the #2 seed in the playoffs win or lose. They'll square off against TDs or Bust in the first round of the playoffs next week. CapTel is representing the final four in serious fashion. 

Show me the TDs closes out the season strong, with its 5th win in a row. Looking back to earlier in the season, this team is a few tough losses away from being in the playoffs. They'll have to regroup and come back with a strong draft next year (and don't miss it!). I think this team easily turns it around in 2025.


TDs or Bust (11-4) 173.11 vs Teflon Don (7-8) 168.14

This was a super tight game. It actually had some big implications. If Perry had lost, he'd have dropped to the #4 seed and would have had to play #1 seed Dynastic Dan in the first round. Instead, he wins and clinches the #3 seed. Teflon Don was probably better off losing this game anyway, as they would have dropped to the #7 pick in next year's draft instead of the #6. 


Alice in Horns (11-4) 134.34 vs TBone's Terrific Team (4-11) 111.23

TBone's season ends with a whimper as they have now lost their tenth straight game after a 4-1 start. Ouch. They'll be picking 3rd in next year's draft.

Alice's win ups her record to 11-4, good for the 4th seed in the playoffs. She'll play Dynastic Dan in the first round. Should be a good matchup, as these two teams both have a higher point projection than either team in the 2/3 matchup.


ned's rollers (8-7) 147.95 vs My Team (6-9) 131.61

Defending champ ned avoids a losing record this season, as they pull one out against My Team. It has to be considered a disappointing season for ned, as he'll miss the postseason just a year after winning it all. I really thought ned would be the first dynasty in this dynasty league. He still can be, it will just have to resume next season. My Team drops to 6-9 and will be picking 5th in next year's draft.


Bluth Company (3-12) 113.94 vs BDB's Jet Setters (4-11) 108.10

This was probably the least consequential game of the week. Bluth has already locked up the #1 pick in next year's draft. BDB seems like he checked out of this season a long time ago. Hopefully 2025 brings better things to each of these teams.


Here is a look at the final standings for 2024, as we head into the postseason. Special thanks to all the teams who participated this year. This league wouldn't be as special to me as it is without each and every one of you.





For all eliminated teams, here is a look at how this upcoming offseason will play out. Check this out if you have not already:
