Player of the week for week 4: the newly acquired Dak Prescott for team TBone. Dak's 4 touchdowns led to 36.96 fantasy points. Dak's heroics were nearly enough to lift TBone for his first win of the season, but alas - it was not meant to be.
Aaron Likes Jonnu's TE (3-1) 161.20 vs TBone's Terrific Team (0-4) 140.86
Why you gotta make me type out that crazy team name, man? I think I'll just refer to you as Scotty going forward, haha. But this was a surprisingly good matchup between two teams that finished near the bottom of the standings last year. Scotty survived in what was a closer matchup than the final score indicated. Dak nearly lifted TBone to the win in a game that went back and forth all weekend long. But Scotty was able to pull out the win behind Patrick Mahomes (35.3) and two crazy big IDP games from Jordyn Brooks (21) and Maxx Crosby (20.75).
TBone has now lost 14 games in a row going back to last season. There have been some close calls this year, but no luck breaking through.
Dynastic Dan (4-0) 162.16 vs BDB's Jet Setters (2-2) 137.42
While both teams overperformed, it was still a relatively large blowout for first place Dynastic Dan. I'm now 4-0 and looking good. I'm starting to worry about Jamarr Chase and Chase Brown though. These guys have really wilted with no Joe Burrow.
BDB is only 2-2 but has looked strong so far this season. He'll try to climb back above .500 again next week against ned.
Bluth Company (1-3) 156.29 vs Alice in Horns (1-3) 140.83
Bluth finally gets into the win column with one of the more surprising results of the week. Things really clicked for Bluth Company. This was the type of team performance I expected to see coming into the season. Maybe this marks the beginning of a turnaround? On the flip side, Alice's team has continued its stumble out of the gate. Alice was considered a strong contender at the beginning of the year. Key injuries to Joe Burrow and Nick Bosa have hurt the team. And now Bucky Irving looks like he might miss time too.
Alice has a good chance to rebound next week against struggling My Team - in what is a must win for each team. Bluth looks to continue his winning ways against first place Dynastic Dan. Bluth has never lost against me before, so I expect a challenging matchup ahead.
TDs or Bust (3-1) 194.97 vs Show me the TDs (2-2) 132.53
I always look forward to seeing when the two TD teams match up, but unfortunately this one was a real snoozer. This was one of those dominant performances from TDs or Bust where you just have no chance of winning. It's almost impossible to win when your opponent has 195 points.
TDs or Bust is looking like a team to beat after a rough start to the season. Perry looks to pad his record next week against in a game where he is a mammoth favorite. It's going to require a herculean effort from TBone to end his losing streak next week. On the other side of things, Show me the TDs has a challenging matchup against defending champ Mike. Tough luck for Sean as newly acquired Tyreek Hill left the game with a season ending injury immediately after Sean spent ALL his free agent money on him. That's super rough. It's been a tough year so far for this team, but I think they can turn it around. It is still super early. A win against the defending champ next week would go a long way.
Skattebo Doesn't Know (3-1) 129.43 vs My Team (1-3) 91.77
It was a less than stellar week for each team, as this was the lowest scoring matchup of the week. In fact, I think it may be the combined lowest scoring game of the year? A win is a win for Mike. Uncle Pete takes on Alice in a battle of 1-3 teams. The loser of that game is going to be in real rough shape.
ned's rollers (3-1) 152.05 vs Teflon Don (1-3) 123.81
Rough week and rough season so far for Teflon Don. AJ Brown continues to stink up the place and now Malik Nabers is out for the year and may miss time next year too. Yikes. I love Malik Nabers and he is one of my favorite NFL players. But now I'm glad my trade offer for him was turned down in the offseason! Jayden Daniels has been off and on injured, and now Brock Purdy is hurt just a week after Chris traded Dak Prescott away. And then Dak immediately blew up and had a massive game as the player of the week for TBone. Tough stretch of events here, but the future first he acquired in the trade is looking more and more like the 1.01 since TBone can't seem to win a game.
Ned has quietly been putting together a stellar season so far. It's only been 4 weeks, but he's looked every part the bit of a contending team. He is currently the second highest scoring team in the league. Ned won the 'ship in the inaugural season of The Rad Dynasty. He is more than capable of doing it again.
---
Again, sorry for the lackluster recap this week, but I have things to do and kids to raise. Here is a look at the standings. I love the cluster at the top of the standings. I'm 4-0, but four teams are right behind me at 3-1. Ned and Perry look like real contenders. Mike continues to win win win. Scotty has been super impressive taking over a dysfunctional team. The 2-2 teams are not out of it yet, as they are only one game out of second place - and there is still a LOT of season left. The 1-3 teams still have life, too. A 1-4 start can be hard to overcome. 2-3 sounds much better.
Here is to an interesting week 5, and good luck to you all.
