That was one of the worst injury weeks of football I’ve ever seen. At last count, at least 20 starter-caliber players are out for an extended period of time.
To add to the misery, we also saw the lowest number of Touchdowns in Week 2 ever. It wasn’t even close - there were 16 more TDs in the same week last year. To add insult to injury, now the Chiefs are throwing TDs to lineman.
This is Shannon’s dream season: the highest scoring players are the kickers.
Standings
Samantha, Jon, Crispy sit on top of the leaderboard…but don’t be fooled.
- Samantha’s roster has more Q than 4Chan.
- Jon drafted some guy on the Chargers that nobody has heard of AND now is depending on the Bears for points.
- Crispy has (checks notes)…a kicker.
Power ranks tell a slightly different story (hi Shannon) - but at this point, everyone is a turf-monster away from a roster implosion.
Player of the Week
Nobody had a week like Marvin Harrison Jr. After a complete no-show in Week 1, he goes off for 130 yards and two TDs. That was the best individual performance of the week (well, of a active player - SHANNON).

Team of the Week
This one should be no surprise - the combination of MHJ, JK Dobbins (yes Ryan, WE KNOW he used to play for the Ravens…just like Anquan Boldin), Breece Hall, and CJ Stroud resulted in 101 points for Julian.
And since Tuesday was his opponent this week - Dr. Ju has family bragging rights…for now.
He better watch out though, Tuesday put up almost double his Week 1 total with Puka on the IR and Joe Mixon forgetting where the end zone was.
Matchup of the Week
No brainer - JBeeZyn vs (inhale) Lamar I Hear It Lamar I Like It.
Both teams were let down by their QBs. Dak was resting on his pile of money while Mahomes thought he was still at the US Open. Ultimately this was a battle of FLEX. Going into MNF, Jon had an almost 2 TD lead - but with AJ Brown on the sidelines the Eagles turned to DeVonta Smith.
Smith got JB to within 1 point and then did what the Eagles have done since last season…collapsed. Jason Kelce is not amused.
Manager Stats
HI TUESDAY!
DID YOU KNOW THAT ALVIN KAMARA HAD AN ALL-TIME FANTASY PERFORMANCE?
ON YOUR BENCH.
You would have stomped Julian into the Central Time Zone if you had subbed him for Mixon. You would have been the highest scoring team of the week by a mile. Instead, not so much.
Schedule Notes
Jets - Patriots on Thursday Night Football. Chiefs - Falcons on Sunday Night Football
DOUBLE HEADER ON MONDAY
- Jaguars - Bills at 4:30pm
- Commanders - Bengals at 5:15
Set your lineups accordingly. I wouldn’t worry too much about that second game though, neither of those teams can score much of anything these days.
Yes - I’m salty about Jayden Daniels and Ja’Marr Chase.
