Month: October 2025

It was NOT a pretty week for many of us. So many obvious picks underperformed in a big way. Ouch. Ultimately, nine owners cracked 300+.

That didn’t trip up Andrew, who sits atop the league for a second week in a row.

Andrew‘s lineup scored a 392, and was led by Mahomes, Nix, Taylor, Dobbins, Chase, Rice, Waddle and Kraft.

Second place went to CarlP, who scored a 371, thanks to a lineup featuring Mahomes, Nix, Taylor, Chase, Rice, Gadsden and McLaughlin.

You already know this is Andrew‘s second win in a row, and it is CarlP‘s first payday since winning Week 16 last year. Coincidentally, CarlP and Ernesto and I were in Pittsburgh this weekend to see the Steelers game vs. Green Bay Sunday night, but it was Ernesto and Andrew‘s Packers who prevailed, just like Andrew edges CarlP in our league. Congrats to both.

The Leaderboard:
While Eric retains the top spot, it is Andrew who takes advantage of his hot streak to leap into second place. Michael remains steady in third, and Jack and TroyA rise in the standings.

Thursday Night Game:

Baltimore at Miami

Good luck to all in Week 9.

Please, I beg of you, NFL, no more MNF double headers with the late game starting after 10 p.m. Eastern time.

When Week 7 finally ended, Andrew stood above the rest with a 385 to win the week, thanks to a roster led by Prescott, Nix, J. Taylor, St. Brown, Pickens, McBride, Aubrey and the Chiefs D.

That was just enough to deny Kel&Karen a repeat weekly win. Instead, Kel&Karen had to settle for runner up with a 380, thanks to a lineup featuring Herbert, Dart, McCaffery, Skattebo, Chase, Pickens, Diggs and Aubrey.

Just a quick note that proves it doesn’t hurt to be lucky. In Week 6, Karen intended to play Stafford, but got her LA quarterbacks confused and sent in Herbert. Not only did Herbert deliver last week’s win for Kel&Karen, but another stellar score in Box A in Week 7. Great mistake Karen!

This is Andrew‘s first weekly win since Week 17 last season, and Kel&Karen‘s second pay day of 2025. Congrats to all on their strong showing in Week 7.

The Leaderboard:
Despite an off week, Eric retains the top spot, but all the other spots get jostled as David jumps to second. Michael holds steady, RandyH and TroyA take a tumble and Seth rounds out the money spots.

1. Eric (1380)
2. David (1295)
3. Michael (1286)

What looked like a runaway win Sunday night, almost slipped away from Kel&Karen, but they mustered enough to claim the weekly win and a season high 392.

Kel&Karen‘s team was led by Herbert, Dart, McCaffery, Scattebo, Dowdle, Chase, Pickens, LaPorta and the Broncos D.

Several owners were closing fast on Monday night, but it was Eric who for the second week in a row earned runner up honors, thanks to a roster featuring Darnold, McCaffery, Williams, White, Dowdle, Pickens, Bourne, and Grupe, which netted him a 382.

Kel & Karen win a week for the first time since the opener of the 2024 season, and Eric has his third pay day of the young season and second in as many weeks. Congrats to Kel&Karen and Eric on the strong showing in Week 6.

The Leaderboard:
Eric‘s success keeps him well atop the standings, while RandyH and Michael trade spots, and TroyA and David do the same. while Seth is the big gainer in Week 6, climbing four spots.

For the second time in three weeks, Michael is the toast of the league. This time, he popped a 388 to win the week, thanks to a lineup led by Allen, Fields, Achane, Hall, White, Dowdle, Nacua, D. Samuel, Ferguson, Fitzgerald and the Texans D.

We had a rare tie for second place this week, as Eric and I both scored a 377 and had the same player as our tiebreaker. Eric’s lineup featured Allen, Murray, McCaffery, K. Williams, White, Dowdle, Nacua, and Grupe. My squad had Allen, Fields, McCaffery, Hall, White, Dowdle, Nacua, D. Samuels and Fitzgerald.

As previously noted, this is Michael‘s second win in three weeks, and Eric‘s first payday since Week 16 a year ago, and mine since Week 11 of last season. Congrats to Michael and Eric.

The Leaderboard:
No surprise to see Eric retain the top spot given his strong Week 5 showing, but it’s Michael who makes his move and jumps to second. The husband and wife duo of David and Kerry also have a lot to talk about in their household.
