John K's Fantasy Football

Week 7 could be a fantasy football version of Family Feud, in more ways than one.

For starters, Beth won the week with a 358, finishing just three points ahead of her partner, Tom. That should be the source of some playful teasing all week long.

Beth‘s lineup was led by Maye, McCaffery, B. Allen, Smith-Njigba, Nabers, J. Williams, Reichard and the Vikings D.

Tom‘s team featured Maye, Gibbs, Irving, B. Allen, Smith-Njigba, J. Williams, Kittle, Reichard and the Vikings D. The difference came down to Tom played Golden (13) to Beth‘s choice of Nabers (31) in Box D.

This is Beth‘s first win since Week 13 of the 2024 season and her second payday of the current season. Tom has his second payday of the 2026 campaign. Congrats to both for their strong showing this week. More on Tom in a minute.

Rookie Report:
In our weekly rookie report, Tao does it again! Tao scored a 338 and earned a Top 10 finish for Week 7. GregK deserves an honorable mention as his Week 7 team scored a 313, his first 300+ showing of the season. Tao now has four wins over his rookie competition, while his NFL Vikings are still unbeaten. Congrats Tao.

(Tao 4-0)(StaceyK 2-0)(GregK 1-0)

The Leaderboard:
The Family Feud theme continues with a shakeup on the leaderboard, as Tom used his strong Week 7 to bump his son Trent from the top of the heap. In fact, Jack also moved ahead of Trent into second place. And don’t look now, but Trent‘s fiance Christina is holding strong in sixth place. Let the feud continue.
1. Tom (1377)
2.Jack (1355)
3. Trent (1343)
3. DaveT (1343)
5. Ernesto (1340)
6. Christina (1307)
JohnK (1259), Chad (1249), Dennis (1245) and Luc (1242) round out the Top 10.

Ernesto had the clubhouse lead with a 335 following Sunday’s action, and it held up through Monday Night. Ernesto‘s lineup featured Allen, Lawrence, Walker, B. Allen, Nacua, Nabers, Metcalf, Boswell and the Chiefs D.

Sitting in second place this week, was yours truly. I posted a 314 to edge Trent by a mere two points. My roster was led by Allen, Love, Walker, Robinson, Allen, Smith-Njigba, Coker, Metcalf, and Carlson.

This is Ernesto‘s first win since Week 6 of the 2024 season (exactly two years ago) and my first payday since Week 14 last season. Congrats to Ernesto for his strong showing this week.

Zach joined our league in 2023, and it took him just over three seasons to finally have his breakout moment. In Week 5, Zach posted a 418, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Maye, Gibbs, B. Allen, Smith-Njigba, Evans, J. Williams, McBride, and Fairbairn. Nicely done Zach.

Second place goes to long time owner Dennis, who popped a 397, thanks to a roster featuring Stafford, Maye, Gibbs, Nacua, Washington, McBride and Folk.

Not only is this Zach‘s first win ever but he’s the first owner to top 400 points this season. This is Dennis‘ first payday since the final week of last season. Congrats to both for their strong showing this week.

Rookie Report:

Tao‘s Vikings got to 5-0 in the NFL, and his Week 5 lineup scored 389 to best his fellow rookies, thanks to a lineup featuring Love, Gibbs, Crosskey-Merritt, McBride, Fairbairn and of course, the Vikings D. That was good enough for third overall. Impressive! Congrats Tao.

DaveT often jokes when he sends his team that he is relying on AI to help him field a winning lineup. This week the artificial intelligence delivered a 382, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Stroud, B. Robinson, A. Jones, Kamara, Lamb, Higgins, Bowers, and Aubrey.

Runner up in Week 4 was Beth, who rallied on Monday Night to enter the money spot with a 380, thanks to a roster featuring Jackson, Shough, B. Robinson, J. Williams, Hubbard, Samuel, Smith-Njigba, Higgins, Bowers, Loop and the Vikings D.

This is DaveT‘s first win since Week 13 of the 2021 season and Beth‘s first payday since Week 13 of last year. Congrats to both for their strong showing this week.

Rookie Report:

StaceyK earned bragging rights among our trio of rookie owners, scoring a 326 to surpass GregK and Tao. She goes up (2-0) while Greg and Tao have one win each.

The Leaderboard:
With another 14 weeks to play, it is anyone’s season, but with the debut of the leaderboard, you couldn’t ask for a tighter race at the top, and decent representation by Green Bay Packers fans, and people with ties to the Worpell family.
1. Trent (354)
2. CraigS (353)
3. Jack (349)
4. Tom (335)
5. Ernesto (329)
6. Christina (329)
StaceyK (326), CraigW (325), David (324) and DaveT (322) round out the Top 10.

To provide a little context, Trent‘s dad is Tom, his fiance is Christina, and CraigW is his brother. So there will no doubt be some smack talk going on among that crew, while they all gun to overtake Trent. CraigS is a fomer league champ, who along with Ernesto and Jack, cheers for the Packers.

Turns out the week was won by the time Sunday’s action was in the books and for the first time in his three seasons in the league, Chad earns weekly bragging rights.
Chad scored a 366, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Shough, Gibbs, Warren, D. Samuel, Smith-Njigba, McBride, Boswell and the Jaguars D.

Runner up in Week 3 is Tom, the second-longest tenured owner in the league, who popped a 359 thanks to a team featuring Allen, Shough, Gibbs, K. Williams, Hubbard, D. Samuel, Smith-Njigba, and Washington.

This is Chad‘s first win ever and Tom‘s first payday since Week 16 of last season. Congrats to both for their strong showing this week.

Rookie Report:

Three weeks, and three different rookie owners have claimed weekly bragging rights. GregK (297) earns the weekly win, and evens the season-long competition at one win a piece with StaceyK and Tao.

Family Affair
Many of our owners share family ties with one another, including one family that has had three generations play in the league. Here are some of the current blood lines in the league:

Spouses:
David and Kerry
Kel & Karen (who opt to keep a united front by fielding one team)
GregK and StaceyK
Trent and Christina (engaged)

The Saints posted 27 points in a losing effort, but Carlson missed an extra point, and that put a damper on how much he could contribute to anyone’s Week 3 fantasy points.

Housekeeping:
Thanks to all the owners who have already paid in. Much appreciated.

Thursday Night Game:

Pittsbugh at Cleveland 

Good luck to all in Week 4.

By Sunday Night, Kim had a lead that proved insurmountable. Kim posted a 346 to win the week, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Stroud, Walker, Smith-Njigba, Kincaid, and Aubrey.

This week’s runner-up is Jake, who scored a 324 thanks to a lineup featuring Allen, Gibbs, Smith-Njigba, Kincaid, McPherson and the Seahawks D.

This is Kim‘s first weekly win since Week 1 of the 2022 season and Jake‘s first payday since Week 15 of the 2018 campaign. Long overdue Jake. Congrats to both Kim and Jake for their strong showing this week. It’s nice to see two long-time owners get back into the win column after an extended stretch.

Rookie Report:

In Week 2, our true rookie, Tao, earns bragging rights with a 252, to top StaceyK (198) and GregK (186). It is worth noting that both Greg and Stacey stuck with their BYU guy Nacua, and had a little serendipity when their wildcard WRs came into play in place of the injured Rams star. Congrats to Tao for his Week 2 showing, as Tao and StaceyK each have a rookie weekly win on the young season.

Past League Champs
In 32 seasons, we have had 18 different owners crowned league champion. In 2025, we have eight former league champions playing, including
Andrew (2020/2025),
CraigS (2001),
Dennis (1999/2008)
Kerry (2005),
Major (2016),
RandyH (1998/2017),
yours truly (2012/2021) and
TroyA, who has won the league a record 10 times. (2002/2009/2011/2013-2015/2018/2019/2022/2023).

The Ultimate Bridesmaid:
In addition to the league champions listed above, one owner deserves honorable mention for his amazing consistency, despite never winning it all.

Since joining the league in 2002. Eric has taken 8th once (2004), fifth two times  (’05 and ’20), fourth five times (’09, ’10, ’12, ’14, ’23), finished third three times (’11, ’15, ’21) and placed second a record nine times (’02, ’03, ’06, ’07, ’08, ’13, ’16, ’22, ’25).

He’s only finished out of the money three times (2017-2019). Pretty impressive.  And one of these seasons, I believe he will finally claim the ultimate prize.

Thursday Night Game:

Atlanta at Green Bay 

Good luck to all in Week 3.

During the past offseason, one of our owners, Trenton, proposed to another owner, Christina. So it’s fair to say Trenton is engaged in more ways than one.
So in his first week back since popping the question, he popped a 382 to win the week, thanks to lineup led by L. Jackson, Lawrence, Gibbs, J. Williams, Flowers, Watson, McBride and Jags D. (His lovely bride-to-be had a very respectable 290 to open the season.)

Former league champ CraigS (2001) showed why he is a perrennial powerhouse, opening the new campaign with a 378 to take second. His lineup featured L. Jackson, Lawrence, Gibbs, J. Williams, Flowers, Golden, McBride and Steelers D.

This is Trent‘s first weekly win since Week 15 of 2023 and CraigS first prize money since Week 14 of last season. In a strange coincidence, last year Craig opened the season with a weekly win, with Trent as runnerup. Congrats to both for their strong showing this week.

Rookie Report:

Each season, we welcome new owners to the league. As of Week 1, we have one true rookie (Tao) and two owners who haven’t played in a long, long time, and when they last did, they were joint owners of Greg and Stacey. So please give a warm welcome to our 2026 rookie class of GregK, StaceyK and Tao.

In Week 1, StaceyK earned bragging rights by scoring a (327), edging GregK (294) and Tao (277). All three outpaced the commissioner in Week 1, so congrats on getting off to a solid start.

Hi All:

One week from today, the NFL kicks off with its first full Sunday of action.

Which means, JohnK’s Fantasy Football is also right around the corner.

Attached is the first play list for 2026. 

(I reserve the right to tweak the play list between now and kickoff of the Patriots/Seahawks game in the event of a last-minute injury or roster development.)

Speaking of which, Josh Jacobs is on the commissioner’s exempt list. If he is reinstated during the first four weeks of the NFL season, I’ll place him in Box C.

Owners:

There are still a handful of owners from last season I have not heard from, but as of right now, I have a firm commitment from 32 owners. I’d love to see that number reach 35, because then we’d add a seventh pay out position for the season.

If you know of any friends or family who might like to play, please invite them.

Welcome New Owners:

I’d like to welcome Tao Peng to our league, and welcome back Greg and Stacey Kratz who are returning after a very long absence. I’ve been in contact with a few other folks who might be joining, and hope to introduce them soon.

Housekeeping:

1. Entry Fee
Entry for the league is $40. 

That covers your Week 1 lineup and first 50 trades of the season.

Thanks to all the owners who have already sent payment (about half). That’s a great start.

For those of you who would prefer to pay another way, send me an email and I can provide address for cash/check or other arrangements. Thanks.

2. LineUps:

Now that you have the playlist, you can send in your Week 1 lineup anytime between now and 11 a.m. CT/10 a.m. MT next Sunday (Sept. 13)

3. Wednesday and Thursday Night Games:

The league will kick off Wednesday night, with New England at Seattle.

Then it will play another game Thursday night with San Francisco at the LA Rams.

If you want to play any Patriots, Seahawks, 49ers or Rams, please get those picks into me ahead of kickoff of those respective games.

4. Play List 1 (for Weeks 1-4)

Final Thoughts:

That’s pretty much it.

Please contact me if you have any questions. Happy to clear up any questions.

Likewise, if you see any issues with the initial playlist, let me know so we can get those addressed.

You can also find pertinent information and weekly updates on the league website: johnkffb.com

Looking forward to another fun-filled season.

Good luck in 2026.

Hi All:

As of today, I have heard back from 28 owners who plan on playing again in 2026, so we will run the league again this season.

We can definitely add more owners, so if you know of friends or family who might be interested in playing, please send them my email or show them this URL.

Entry free will be $40 and that covers the Week 1 lineup and the first 50 trades of the season. All trades over 50 cost .50 cents each.

I’ll plan to have the new play list posted by Labor Day weekend. The season kicks off Wednesday night, Sept. 9 with New England at Seattle.

Until then …

John K.

Are you ready for some football?

I’m conducting a test to see if anyone else is thinking about fantasy football yet.

If so, shoot me an email at my home email address and let me know.

The first five owners to contact me will get five free trades applied to their 2026 team.

This offer only lasts until I send out a message to the league, inviting all to play in 2026.

John K.
