Week 2

TCols Stars (2-0) 296.2 def. Hedeby Berserkers (1-1) 202.3
Offense
3. Malik Nabers (TCS) 40.7
2. Ja'Marr Chase (TCS) 38.5
1. Daniel Jones (TCS) 28.1

Defense
3. Roquan Smith (HED) 25.5
2. Brian Branch (TCS) 17.0
1. Demario Davis (TCS) 16.0

Fn massive score for the Stars, so it's a small consolation to the Berserkers given there's not much they could do to win this one. Riding the Jones/Tagavailoa/Williams wave is a dangerous game though, and as we saw last season (Record score of 350+), didn't even make it to the Final.


Fueys Haze (1-1) 192.5 def. BETA Warriors (0-2) 170.3
Offense
3. James Cook (FHZ) 27.5
2. Patrick Mahomes (FHZ) 25.6
1. Trevor Lawrence (BW) 24.6

Defense
3. Edgerrin Cooper (BW) 16.0
2. Jamien Sherwood (FHZ) 15.5
1. Derwin James (BW) 12.5

Haze get off the mark with a run of the mill victory, consistent scores throughout. Warriors may rue the fact of not playing starting QBs, Spencer Rattler and Joe Flacco NOT sitting on the pine would've snatched a win this week.

Arakaans Assassins (2-0) 221.8 def. Galactic Gobsmackers (0-2) 177.5
Offense
3. Amon-Ra St.Brown (GOB) 40.2
2. Lamar Jackson (ARA) 36.2
0.5. Wan'Dale Robinson (ARA) 29.2
0.5. Mac Jones (ARA) 29.2

Defense
3. Henry To'oto'o (ARA) 12.0
2. Trey Hendrickson (ARA) 11.5
1. Cam Little (ARA) 10.0

Assassins looking good, a whole bunch of double-digit scorers, with 5 more on the bench. Been on the cusp for a year or two now, can this be the year of the next step? Big game next week for the early ascendancy in the division. Tough week for Gobsmackers, Jones injured, Hurts down, and only a couple of stars firing. Plenty of room for improvement.

Pandas Broncos (2-0) 268.3 def. Beads Army (0-2) 228.2
Offense
3. Jared Goff (BEA) 48.1
2. Drake Maye (PAN) 32.2
1. Puca Nacua (PAN) 28.6

Defense
3. Daiyan Henley (PAN) 23.5
2. Brandon Aubrey (PAN) 22.0
1. Byron Young (BEA) 15.5

Beads really unlucky, scoring 225+ usually guarantees a win. Carried a 0 with Jayden Reed going down early too... BUT the Broncos show why they won it all in 2024. Big scores everywhere, except for a doughnut on defense. Beautifully built team, and should contend for many years to come.


Manureids ADP Redeemers (1-1) 209.9 def. Pistols Dolphins (1-1) 172.1
Offense
3. Dak Prescott (MAD) 28.9
2. Caleb Williams (PID) 21.8
1. Bijan Robinson (PID) 20.8

Defense
3. Fred Warner (MAD) 19.0
2. Danielle Hunter (MAD) 18.0
1. Payton Wilson (MAD) 15.0

Redeemers get their first win, over-coming a a McCarthy sub-zero score with 6/8 defenders hitting double digits. Who says defense doesn't make a difference, Dolphins (61.5) scored 35 less points than the Redeemers (96.5). If Manu can keep his team consistent week to week (unlike ADP), could take some big scalps this year.

Chisms Chasers (2-0) 249.1 def. Purple Vandals (0-2) 147.5
Offense
3. Russell Wilson (CHC) 39.3
2. Jonathon Taylor (VAN) 30.5
1. Jordan Love (CHC) 26.7

Defense
3. Keisean Nixon (CHC) 17.3
2. Patrick Queen (VAN) 15.0
1. Nick Bosa (CHC) 13.5

Wilson turned back the clock and nearly dropped a 40-burger on us, noone more surprised than me. Scary thing is, if it wasn't Russ, Bryce Young was his other option, scoring a lowly 29.7 on the bench. Great depth in this squad, and the fight with Panda will be great all season long. Vandals had a 'mare, no question.

Week 3 completed and IR full already after a horror week.

Week 3 completed and IR full already after a horror week.

Feel that... one of my leagues, 4 IR slots... I have 7 players currently on IR.

At least IR isn't the IR of 20 years ago, where they couldn't come off. Once on, they on.

Week 3

Pistols Dolphins (2-1) 207.3 def. Arakaans Assassins (2-1) 195.3
Offense
3. Caleb Williams (PID) 40.9
2. Lamar Jackson (ARA) 35.0
1. Marcus Mariota (ARA) 23.7

Defense
3. Nick Bolton (PID) 16.0
1.5. Jaylen Watson (PID) 15.0
1.5. TJ Watt (ARA) 15.0

Dolphins get a narrow victory and are a sneaky 2-1, in what is shaping up to be 2025s most interesting division. Arakaan must be a RL lawyer, cos his ambulance chasing to pick up Mac Jones and Marcus Mariota was first class. Didn't work out this week though!

Manureids ADP Redeemers (2-1) 221.1 def. Galactic Gobsmackers (0-3) 214.6
Offense
3. Jalen Hurts (GOB) 36.1
2. David Montgomery (MAD) 30.4
1. Nico Collins (MAD) 24.4

Defense
3. Tremaine Edmunds (GOB) 22.5
2. Fred Warner (MAD) 20.0
1. Will Anderson Jr (GOB) 9.5

Tight tussle where most of the offensive players turned up, and most of the defenders didn't, though a bunch of good scoring Redeemer defenders sat on the pine. Gobsmcackers lucky the loss wasn't worse, but a little unlucky to be 0-3 also.

TCols Stars (3-0) 190.8 def. Beta Warriors (0-3) 152.0
Offense
3. Josh Allen (TCS) 30.1
2. Christian McCaffrey (TCS) 24.0
1. Daniel Jones (TCS) 19.5

Defense
3. Derwin James Jr (BW) 23.0
2. Mack Wilson Sr (BW) 18.0
1. Cam Heyward (TCS) 12.5

Stars have their lowest score since Wk12 2024, but get the win regardless. Struggling offenses in Cincy and New York are TCols biggest hurdles, as the big scores come with big numbers from his elite WRs. Not much went right for the Warriors, with only 6 players making double digits and three top scorers being a S, LB and K.

Hedeby Berserkers (2-1) 249.0 def. Fueys Haze (1-2) 194.0
Offense
3. Courtland Sutton (HED) 26.8
2. Jordan Mason (HED) 24.6
1. AJ Brown (HED) 23.9

Defense
2.5. Tyrel Dodson (FHZ) 20.0
2.5. Zach Baun (HED) 20.0
1. Chase McLaughlin (HED) 19.0

Berserkers doing what they do, 11 of their past 12 games have hit the 200 mark (the one that didn't? 199.4 in Wk 12 last year), all while CeeDee gets injured and gets a 0... write off at your own peril. Haze are an enigma this year, there's nothing inherently shit about the team, but the big scores aren't there. Need Patty to find some form soon...

Purple Vandals (1-2) 241.2 def. Beads Army (0-3) 158.3
Offense
3. Geno Smith (VAN) 35.8
2. Jonathon Taylor (VAN) 34.8
1. Mark Andrews (VAN) 27.1

Defense
3. Brian Burns (VAN) 19.5
2. Patrick Queen (VAN) 17.0
1. Myles Garrett (VAN) 13.0

Vandals love Week 3 in recent history, averaging 243+/- over the last three seasons. Scary to see what could happen if Hurts dat least shared the GL TDs.Forgettable week for Beads, Conner going down the only real reason for a poor showing. Wasn't going to make up the 82pt differential though.

Pandas Broncos (3-0) 234.7 def. Chisms Chasers (2-1) 156.9
Offense
3. Jahmyr Gibbs (PAN) 26.9
2. Drake Maye (PAN) 23.9
1. Puka Nacua (PAN) 23.8

Defense
2.5. Kaden Elliss (CHC) 16.0
2.5. Jack Campbell (PAN) 16.0
1. Quay Walker (PAN) 13.0

Panda with a strong score even with the struggling Stroud and Higgins, showing why he is the BEST team in the league, bar none. Could've scored and extra 50pts if he had his best lineup in, 3x20+ scorers sitting on the bench. A week to forget for the Chasers, started the wrong Raider WR (Tre Tucker 45.3 V Jakobi Meyers 9.3), and the sharks started circling around dear ol' Russ.

 

[arakaan]

Nothing better than reading Purdy was playing a few days ago and being to busy to check up on it today.
Jones about to drop a 30+ pointer it seems.

 

[manureid]

Imagine running in to 25 points from Kendrick Bourne.

Week 4

Galactic Gobsmackers (1-3) 211.6 def. Pistols Dolphins (2-2)166.8
Offense
3. Bijan Robinson (PID) 28.1
2. Amon-Ra St.Brown (GOB) 26.0
1. Jalen Hurts (GOB) 23.9

Defense
3. Kevin Byard III (GOB) 21.0
1.5. DeShon Elliott (PID) 19.0
1.5. Cairo Santos (GOB) 19.0

Gobsmackers get a dub for the first time this season, knocking off the Phins who were one of only two teams NOT to score above 200 this week. Gobsmackers got some luck with big pts over projected from Mims (+13.8), Byard (+13.3) and Santos (+11.0), plus 10 overall, while the Dolphins were -34.6 vs projected, with Caleb Willams (-12.1) and and Cam Ward (-10.9) not helping!

Manureids ADP Redeemers (3-1) 248.3 def. Arakaans Assassins (2-2) 219.7
Offense
3. Dak Prescott (MAD) 40.9
2. Ashton Jeanty (MAD) 35.5
1. George Pickens (ARA) 34.4

Defense
3. Marcus Jones (ARA) 28.2
2. Kam Curl (MAD) 22.5
1. Payton Wilson (MAD) 15.0

After a first-game fail, Redeemers have looked pretty good since, averaging 226PF over the past three weeks. Probably can't rely on 35 from Jeanty every week, but 40 form Dak could be a regular thing with the poor Dallas D. Assassins have had a consistent start to the season, but will be tested this coming week with no Llama.

Purple Vandals (2-2) 230.3 def. TCols Stars (3-1) 207.2
Offense
3. Justin Fields (VAN) 31.1
2. Omarion Hampton (VAN) 30.5
1. Josh Allen (TCS) 30.3

Defense
3. Jordyn Brooks (TCS) 16.5
2. Brian Branch (TCS) 16.0
1. Patrick Queen (VAN) 15.5

What to make of the Vandals?? Narrow loss to the defending champ in Wk1, putrid score in Wk2, but has bounced back with two good scores, and a win against the always tough to beat Stars. Only real worry right now is a struggling Geno. Stars cop their first loss of the season, but question marks over Chase/Purdy/Tua/McCaffrey and Nabers out for the season, depth could be an issue for a few weeks.

Hedeby Berserkers (3-1) 235.5 def. Chisms Chasers (2-2) 195.2
Offense
3. Matthew Stafford (HED) 39.3
2. Jordan Love (CHC) 35.3
1. Baker Mayfield (HED) 26.9

Defense
3. Maxx Crosby (HED) 25.0
2. Chase McLaughlin (HED) 16.0
1. Zack Baun (HED) 14.5

Berserkers cruising at the minute, just kinda waiting for finals as division rivals not looking all that good at the minute. Ultra consistent, a meagre 4 of the last 37 games have score <200, dating back to Wk1 2023. Chasers taking no risks this week, starting both Myers and Tucker... a little inconsisten so far, getting Daniels back as QB1 this week should help.

BETA Warriors (1-3) 223.5 def. Beads Army (0-4) 205.1
Offense
3. Josh Jacobs (BW) 31.7
2. Bucky Irving (BEA) 27.5
1. Drake London (BW) 27.0

Defense
3. Jeffrey Simmons (BW) 16.5
2. Dee Winters (BEA) 15.5
1. Tykee Smith (BEA) 14.5

Warriors get their first BETA win with the franchises highest score since Week 8, 2024. CONGRATS! Had 3x30+ games from RBs, unfortunately only one of them was in the starting lineup! Beads has his third losing score of 200+ pts in his last 7 games. Quite unlucky.

Pandas Broncos (4-0) 253.4 def. Fueys Haze (1-3) 239.3
Offense
3. Patrick Mahomes (FHZ) 37.8
2. Puka Nacua (PAN) 37.0
1. Bo Nix (PAN) 32.6

Defense
2.5. Tyrel Dodson (FHZ) 15.0
2.5. Jack Campbell (PAN) 15.0
1. Quay Walker (PAN) 14.5

Broncos on a 12-game win streak after this one, with an average score of 237.3. Look out if/when Stroud hits his stride. Haze put their best foot forward to no avail., even had more double-digit scorers. Not even the highest losing score of their last 5 games though, so is used to disappointment.

Week 5

Purple Vandals (3-2) 228.9 def. Fueys Haze (2-2) 180.7
Offense
3. Justin Fields (VAN) 33.0
2. Jonathon Taylor (VAN) 31.6
1. Patrick Mahomes (FHZ) 31.5

Defense
3. Lavonte David (FHZ) 16.0
1.5. Jared Verse (FHZ) 11.0
1.5. Terrel Bernard (VAN) 11.0

Vandals well and truly running on all cylinders after a stuttering start... a lazy 228 with 8 double digit scores sitting on the bench. Haze struggling to recover from the loss of Burrow, and an ill-timed bye week not doing the squad any favours. Maybe less homer picks in the future??

Galactic Gobsmackers (2-3) 232.5 def. Arakaans Assassins (2-3) 154.5
Offense
3. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (GOB) 27.0
2. Jalen Hurts (GOB) 26.8
1. Garrett Wilson (ARA) 19.1

Defense
3. Ka'imi Fairbairn (GOB) 18.0
2. Cedric Gray (ARA) 15.0
0.5. Trent McDuffie (GOB) 14.0
0.5. Devin Lloyd (GOB) 14.0
0.5. Marcus Jones (GOB) 14.0

Gobsmackers are the enigma of 2025, scored 200+ pts in all bar one game, and are now 2-3 after two straight BIG wins. The rookie RB tandem of Skattebo/Croskey-Merritt doing the business. Assassins NOT doing the business at all, recording their lowest score since Week 13, 2022. Two donuts and a negative don't help.

Manureids ADP Redeemers (4-1) 237.9 def. Pistols Dolphins (2-3) 191.1
Offense
3. Dak Prescott (MAD) 39.0
2. Rico Dowdlw (PID) 33.4
1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (MAD) 28.2

Defense
3. Nick Bolton (PID) 20.5
2. Foyesade Oloukun (PID) 12.0
1. Fred Warner (MAD) 9.5

Redemptioners flying, and if not for the reigning champs, would be the for team of BETA. Nearly every piece on offense clicking.. defense not so impressive, but if Dax keeps leaning on Ferguson, and JSN keeps elevating his play, anything is possible. Dolphins did it tough with 2 QBs and Bijan on bye, but posted a respectable score otherwise.

Pandas Broncos (5-0) 243.7 def. Hedeby Berserkers (3-2) 232.8
Offense
3. CJ Stroud (PAN) 38.9
1.5. Matt Stafford (HED) 34.4
1.5. Baker Mayfield (HED) 34.4

Defense
2.5. Bobby Wagner (PAN) 14.0
2.5. Zach Baun (HED) 14.0
1. Chase McLaughlin

Looked to be game of the week going in, and delivered on expectation. Plenty of high scorers littered throughout each team, came down to defense and usually reliable Roquan Smith unable to play due to injury. This one will sting with Jihad Campbell's 11.5 sitting on the bench. At least it wasn't a division game...

BETA Warriors (2-3) 165.9 def. Chisms Chasers (2-3)164.1
Offense
3. Trevor Lawrence (BW) 28.0
2. Spencer Rattler (BW) 22.2
1. Jayden Daniels (CHC) 20.6

Defense
3. Josh Sweat (CHC) 12.5
2. Jeffrey Simmons (BW) 11.5
1. Nick Cross (BW) 11.5

Two straight for the Warriors, first time for the franchise since Weeks 13/14 in 2023. Not an intimidating score by any meands, but a win is a win. Plenty of skill players for both teams unavailable, where again defense made the difference.

TCols Stars (4-1) 270.6 def. Beads Army (0-5) 198.0
Offense
3. Ja'Marr Chase (TCS) 35.0
2. Tua Tagavailoa (TCS) 32.4
1. Javonte Williams (TCS) 27.9

Defense
3. Nate Landman (BEA) 23.0
1.5. Tykee Smith (BEA) 13.5
1.5. Demario Davis (TCS) 13.5

Stars keep proving me wrong... so hard to say anything other than congrats to our 2025 league champs. No Nabers, no problem, 6 offensive players score 20+ to make up for it... Demercado dropping a TD not the only problem for Beads, being winless and averaging 250PA over the past 4 games is pretty brutal. Not all doom and gloom though, the Goff/Herbert/Dart trio of QBs should be fairly formiddable for the next 5 years at least.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Ok Guys, I am 0-5 and looking to trade some of my older players who might help you win. Taking offers for first round picks.

Not too many 'older' players on your roster worth a 1st rounder. Maybe Goff I guess.

 

[fuey]

Such a weird ****in week of scores... only one game went to 'plan' with most having the underdog get up, and one of freakishly low scores from two high scoring teams.

Really jammed up the standings too...

I think the one thing I miss from being in this league is fuey recaps.

Of course I come up against him this week ffs

 

[Chism]

Ok Guys, I am 0-5 and looking to trade some of my older players who might help you win. Taking offers for first round picks.

I will offer you a F2 for Bucky Irving.

Nothing on your roster mate is F1 worthy sadly.

 

[Chism]

I think the one thing I miss from being in this league is fuey recaps.

fuey recaps are the best.

 

[manureid]

I will offer you a F2 for Bucky Irving.

I was already willing to offer more for Bucky but he isn't on the trade block

 

[Chism]

I was already willing to offer more for Bucky but he isn't on the trade block

What is more and you dont own him!
A F1??

Anyway my offer stands Bucking Beads.

I will even throw in a F5.

If not all good and it is what it is and will keep my picks.

So F2 and F5 for Irving my final offer.

 

[Chism]

You can say a simple Yes or No !

No dramas either way. Or do you only want F1s but that roster aint getting you any. Depends what you wanna stock up on draft time.

 

[fuey]

fuey recaps are the best.

I think the one thing I miss from being in this league is fuey recaps.

Still don't know if this is facetious or not, but whatevs!

I've said it before, but don't actually do it for you guys... I do it to keep my own head from being void of thought, on any given night. I do it to keep abreast of what's going on in fantasy, other wise I'm only focused on players in my team(s). And I like doing it, still mainly for me, but I like to. If it gives people something to look forward to, then that's an added bonus. If noone cares for it, so be it. It'll still be here.


Then I get a week like last week, and I had it done on Tuesday night, left it, and my browser shat itself while I was at work, so I lost it. So I've said FML, and it'll get done when I can be bothered again!

 

[fuey]

Also, if people are looking for a RB, I've probably got surplus currently.

Judkins and Cook probably untouchable.

Travis Etienne, Chase Brown or D'Andre Swift available for anyone interested.

 

[manureid]

Anyway my offer stands Bucking Beads.

I will even throw in a F5.

If not all good and it is what it is and will keep my picks.

So F2 and F5 for Irving my final offer.

I had thrown up a F1st and a young player. So doubtful a F2nd an 5th will get it done

Week 6

	Pistols Dolphins (3-3)	255.6	Arakaans Assassins (2-4)	207.8
	Offense		Defense
3	Bijan Robinson (PID)	38.8	Cedric Gray (ARA)	19.5
2	Rico Dowdle (PID)	33.9	Marcus Jones (ARA)	17.1
1	George Pickens (ARA)	32.8	Foyesade Oloukun (PID)	15.0

After a couple of ugly losses, the Dolphins keep themselves in the season with a mammoth score, their highest since Week 6 in 2021. Assassins have every right to feel aggrieved, three of the Dolphins four highest all-time scores have come against them.

	Manureids ADP Redeemers (5-1)	201.7	Galactic Gobsmackers (2-4)	180.5
	Offense		Defense
3	Jaxon Smith-Njigba (MAD)	33.2	Eddie Pineiro (GOB)	18.0
2	Cam Skattebo (GOB)	31.0	Sir'Vocea Dennis (MAD)	15.5
1	Dak Prescott (MAD)	29.8	Tremaine Edmunds (GOB)	12.0

Probably the only game that went as expected, but slightly below average scoring all the same. Just a few too many non-performers for the Gobsmackers, whereas Redeemers only had a few, one being an unlucky injury.

	Hedeby Berserkers (4-2)	148.6	Purple Vandals (3-3)	132.7
	Offense		Defense
3	Baker Mayfield (HED)	25.3	Brian Burns (VAN)	11.0
2	Jonathon Taylor (VAN)	24.7	Ernest Jones (VAN)	9.0
1	Teitaroa McMillan (HED)	17.9	Will Lutz (VAN)	9.0
			Maxx Crosby (HED)	9.0

Two of the form teams of the league went head to head in what should've been an absolute belter... but it wasn't. Both teams has the worst score since 2021, Berserkers (week 12) and Vandals (week 1), after averaging between 235-240 the previous three weeks. Vandals a massive 80pts under projected.

	BETA Warriors (3-3)	231.0	Pandas Broncos (5-1)	215.4
	Offense		Defense
3	Drake Maye (PAN)	36.0	Jeffrey Simmons (BW)	14.0
2	Drake London (BW)	32.8	Mack Wilson Sr (BW)	13.5
1	Josh Jacobs (PAN)	32.0	Jonathon Cooper (PAN)	12.5

If you had told me at the start of the season the Warriors would defeat the undefeated Broncos to win their third straight, I would have said 'of course, thats how we roll in BETA'. Anything can happen. Innjuries to Nacua and Egbuka didn't help the Broncos, but the Warriors 9 double-digit scores were the highlight. Not that he knows it, but a small measure of revenge for the trade that started Pandas ascension.

	Chisms Chasers (3-3)	214.1	TCols Stars (4-2)	205.8
	Offense		Defense
3	De'Von Achane (CHC)	34.0	Cameron Dicker (TCS)	17.0
2	Daniel Jones (TCS)	27.6	Devin Bush (TCS)	16.0
1	Jayden Daniels (CHC)	27.5	Jordyn Brooks (TCS)	14.0

After winning by 0.1pts last season, Chasers doing it slightly easier this year, and got their first win since Week 2. Stars got a lot of high-end scores, but the strength of squad gets the Chasers over the line. Nine double-digit scorers to seven, but more importantly, Chasers had six of 18+ to the Stars three.

	Fueys Haze (2-4)	221.6	Beads Army (0-6)	212.3
	Offense		Defense
3	Patrick Mahomes (FHZ)	38.6	Jamien Sherwood (FHZ)	18.5
2	D'Andre Swift (FHZ)	28.5	Nate Landman (BEA)	17.0
1	Jaxson Dart (BEA)	27.3	Chris Boswell (BEA)	15.0

Haze get themselves off the mat with a win against the unlucky Army. Not a lot separated the two teams, both had almost equal double-digit scorers, both went above projected, and both have had 200pts scored against the for the 5th time this season.

 

[fuey]

Week 7

	Beads Army (1-6)	224.2	Hedeby Berserkers (4-3)	221.9
	Offense		Defense
3	Matt Stafford (HED)	39.4	Tykee Smith (BEA)	18.0
2	Justin Herbert (BEA)	37.1	Quentin Lake (BEA)	16.0
1	Jaxson Dart (BEA)	36.8	Kenneth Murray (HED)	15.0

Beads finally gets off the mark, and what better way than taking down the championship hopeful Beserkers. both teams hit above their projected, Herbert and Dart exceptional in that regard. After a poor week 6, Berserkers returned to form, but just didn't get the W, with only Stafford, Lamb and Brown getting 20+.

	Manureids ADP Redeemers (6-1)	198.2	Arakaans Assassins (2-5)	174.3
	Offense		Defense
3	Joe Flacco (ARA)	36.0	Yaya Diaby (MAD)	14.5
2	Dak Prescott (MAD)	32.2	SirVocea Dennis (MAD)	13.0
1	Jaxon Smith-Njigba (MAD)	29.3	Kam Curl (MAD)	12.0

Redemptioners keep on rolling, now winning 6 straight, the first time the franchise has had a win streeak that long since 2020. Coincidentally, was in weeks 2-7 that season also. Assassins were looking good at 2-0, but have since fallen in a hole. Averaging 190.3 isn't ideal, but averaging 228.4 against over that same timespan only compacts the issues.

	BETA Warriors (4-3)	175.3	Purple Vandals (3-4)	139.5
	Offense		Defense
3	Jonathon Taylor (VAN)	34.2	Ernest Jones (VAN)	19.5
2	Travis Hunter (BW)	28.1	Brian Burns (VAN)	13.0
1	Trevor Lawrence (BW)	21.9	Nick Cross (BW)	12.0

Warriors continue their roll, and are now equal first in the division, even with an uninspiring score someone has to win between the leagues two lowest scorers! Slightly better for BPG this week, after missing projected by 80pts last week, only missed by 72 in Week 7. So that's an improvement!

	Pandas Broncos (6-1)	282.8	TCols Stars (4-3)	215.9
	Offense		Defense
3	Bo Nix (PAN)	45.5	Brandon Aubrey (PAN)	17.0
2	Christian McCaffrey (TCS)	40.1	Talanoa Hufanga (TCS)	12.0
1	Jahmyr Gibbs (PAN)	39.8	Quay Walker (PAN)	11.5
			Jack Campbell (PAN)	11.5
			Jordyn Brooks (TCS)	11.5

Broncos get back on track with a commanding win over the Stars. Eleven players in double-digits, 8 of those over 15. Virtually unstoppable. Stars clearly the league's #2 scorer at the moment, but the annual dogfight that is the Gem division is starting to unfold. Having a -6 score and still hitting 200+ a good effort though

	Galactic Gobsmackers (3-4)	229.9	Pistols Dolphins (3-4)	181.2
	Offense		Defense
3	Jalen Hurts (GOB)	34.9	Tremaine Edmunds (GOB)	18.0
2	Aaron Rodgers (PID)	32.7	Will Anderson (GOB)	17.0
1	Chris Olave (GOB)	26.8	Montez Sweat (PID)	12.0
			Dru Phillips (PID)	12.0

Both these team have been hot and cold so far this season, and this week is no different. Both teams had 10 double-digit scorers, Gobsmackers even had 5 defenders reach the mark (and none were linebackers). Difference in this one came with the 20pt scorers, Galactic had 4 while the Dolphins only had the two.

	Fueys Haze (3-4)	213.4	Chisms Chasers (3-4)	160.9
	Offense		Defense
3	Patrick Mahomes (FHZ)	34.8	Drake Thomas (CHC)	20.0
2	Quinshon Judkins (FHZ)	27.4	Jamien Sherwood (FHZ)	17.5
1	D'Andre Swift (FHZ)	21.8	Tyson Campbell (FHZ)	16.0

Haze have hit a little form, and not a moment too soon, also hitting the golden mark of 10 double-digit scorers. Mahomes returning to form and Judkins hitting his straps in Cleveland a real kick-start. Chasers not really hitting the mark in 2025, and potentially leaving the run too late if it is to come, division is close to being done if things don't turn around soon.
