Weeks 2/3/4 Recap

Standings

It wouldn’t be a football recap if there wasn’t a TSwiz appearance - but unlike the NFL, I’ll restrain myself from too many cutaways to check if she’s still there.

A LOT has happened in the last 3 weeks, so this will be a packed recap. The defending champs are still on top of the leaderboard, but we have a new challenger entering the ring. THE Team Buckeyes is one game out, with a top-4 Points For. After a ROUGH start, Jon and Julian have managed their way into the middle, while Blythe’s team is…having a good time.

Before the recap, let’s do a quick check on power rankings. Records and rankings line up, so no surprises here. JB might be poised for a slight climb up the charts, while Samantha might be in for a rough couple weeks.

Player of the Week

In the last three weeks, 10 players have outperformed their projections by 3 or more Touchdowns. 42 outperformed by at least 1 TD.

Thankfully, every one of those points counted for their teams! In the 3+ club, we have:

• 3 WR
• 3 RB
• 2 QB
• 2 D/ST

In the 4+ TD club, we have CMC (Jon), Raheem Mostert (Julian), and the Bills Defense (Megan). I have to give the win to CMC - not only because he’s singlehandedly keeping Jon’s team alive, or because he’s currently the top points scorer (3 points over Justin Herbert). Nope.

Honestly, it’s this GIF

Team of the Week

For this category, we have three candidates:

• Week 4: Toomey Smalls
• Week 2: Schitt List
• Week 4: Murray Up and Wait

All three teams not only scored less than 35 points - these are now three of the Top 10 Lowest-scoring performances in League History.

But since this is football - and we have to have a WINNER…the award goes to Toomey Smalls. Her 32.66 points with a fully rostered team is now the 5th lowest scoring performance of all time.

It was a perfect storm for lack of scoring. Kirk Cousins spent all his Kohl’s cash the week before and barely managed 1TD worth of points. Her RB/WR each managed (barely) a TD-worth of points.

And Travis Kelce - this is for you.

Matchup of the Week

Morgan vs Megan in Week 3. Points everywhere.

• Both Kickers scored over 10
• QBs in the 30s
• FLEX POINTS FOR DAYS

Ultimately it came down to the Bills Defense dropping 34.5 points to put this one away. Don’t sleep on THE Buckeyes!

EN FUEGO

While we almost had a Yahtzee with Schitt list having as many points on their bench as they scored…that’s mostly due to the historically low points scored that week. Instead, En Fuego goes to Epic Collapse, who had nearly 46 points on the bench. Brian Robinson was 26.9 and Amari Cooper was 9.

That was The EBDB’s entire margin of victory.
