Week 1 Recap
Standings
Drafts are done, games have been played, Jon has been punished. It’s Fantasy Football 2023 edition! Just like last year, I’ll recap the best and worst performances from the previous two weeks.
Player of the Week
Dem Boyz take this one running away. Dallas literally wrecked Giants fans hopes and dreams. I hate Jerry Jones so much, but DAMN. Erik was on the fast track from FIRST to WORST against Tuesday and the Cowboys literally were the margin of victory.
Jerry Jones still sucks.
Team of the Week
THE Team Buckeyes gets the nod this week. As you can see above, Jon was required to wear a Jim Tressel-style sweater vest on Sunday. Morgan’s team routed Jon behing Mahomes, Stefon Diggs, and a kicker. Not even CMC could save Jon from being 0-9 against OSU. He’s got until Week 12 to figure it out…but history tells me that there won’t be much to be Thankful for when that game rolls around.
Just remember Jon - it’s spelled
O!
H!
I!
O!
In case any Buckeye fan would EVER let you forget.
Matchup of the Week
Aside from the Fantasy version of THE BIG GAME - my favorite matchup this week was me vs Biz. Just like last year, our Week 1 matchup was the Cellar Dweller bowl. Joe Burrow somehow managed to score 1.18 points, while Tua racked up 34 and Chubb managed 12.7.
Down the roster, the rest of my team was mid at best - so by Monday Night Football we were both staring up at 70 points (yuck).
JB and I were watching the game live when Rodgers loses his Achilles and even the commentators thought that my WR was going to suck. And he did. He actually LOST points during the third quarter.
And then…for one play - he didn’t. Somehow Garrett Wilson managed to catch a ball that should have been intercepted and put me over the top - consuming 100% of my football karma for the year.
Actual quote from JB when they ruled it a touchdown.
En Fuego
Top three teams with benches on 🔥
- Julian: 81% (WHOA)
- Erik: 42%
- Chris: 38%
Percent = Points on Bench / Points Started
The numbers say - Dr. Ju is borderline dumpster fire. He barely managed 40 points last week and has Antonio Brown on his bench. So…yeah, I think that qualifies
Congratulations Dr. Ju!
Manager Stats
Something new for the season. Since winning (or losing) week to week isn’t enough - I thought I’d share some stats on how well you are all doing AS MANAGERS.
- Power is exactly what is sounds like - how strong was your performance
- Enfuego is a measure of points on bench : started
- Weekly Stomp Rate is: what % of games would you have won against the entire league, that week.
Manager | Power Rating | Enfuego rate | Week 1 Stomp Rate |
---|---|---|---|
Blythe | 10.5 | 29% | 45% |
Chris | 12.05 | 38% | 55% |
Erik | 17.6 | 42% | 100% |
Jon | 6 | 34% | 9% |
Julian | 4.05 | 81% | 0% |
Justin | 9.75 | 10% | 18% |
Megan | 10 | 10% | 27% |
Morgan | 12.95 | 17% | 64% |

Samantha | 12.8 | 22% | 73% |
