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.

No starting QB? No problem, as the Seahawks star wideout caught 9 passes for 155 yards and three TDs. Six owners played him.
Lowest Scoring Player: Dicker the Kicker (1)
The Chargers high-powered offense hasn’t gotten into gear yet under new OC Mike McDaniels, leaving Dicker few chances to boot the ball.

Housekeeping:
Thanks to all the owners who have already paid in. Much appreciated. I’ll be reaching out to the small handful who still owe.
We can still add owners for the first three weeks of the season, so if you know someone who might like to join, it’s not too late.
Looking Ahead:
That’s it for Week 2
Please double check my work and let me know if you see any scoring errors.
Thursday Night Game:
Atlanta at Green Bay
Good luck to all in Week 3.
