Good morning everyone, I hope this finds you well. Week 1 on the Pot Cakes Dynasty League is in the books. What a weekend. The games were good, fantasy was up and down, late game heroics and late game disappointments. We are going to look over our games starting with the Game of the Week between Bottom Bunk and Bruce, and then we will look at the power rankings and check in with Dr. Tilt’s record.
The game of the Week is Bottom Bunk traveling to face off against Bruce.
vs.
Bottom Bunk left the bedroom and went to the kitchen to get things Cooking. Dalvin Cook slowly came on and got B.B. 21 points, Thielen came on late with 28 as well, and Watson gave B.B. the push early Thursday. B.B. left some good points on the bench, Watkins 18, Barber 14.9, Snead 14.4, and Goedert 20.1, all sat the pine. Bruce had a great day out of Matty Ice 36.1, Chark with 10, and J.T. with 11.9 who will see more due to the Mack injury. Bottom Bunk won this one. His starters, his bench, everyone clicked. He’s invested a lot into this line up and Week 1 it paid off.
Bottom Bunk 150.75 – Bruce 137.05
Next up we have PeePaw vs. Mush’s Mongrels.
vs.
This one got ugly, and then it didn’t, but it still was. Mush had Josh Jacobs who is the best value in fantasy football, he has CEH who is the best rookie in fantasy football, and he had a Hollywood performance. The young guys got it done, the rest of the team is on notice. PeePaw had DaVante Adams, the best wide receiver in Fantasy after one week. CeeDee Lamb looks very promising, and he had tucked away in his bench Scotty Miller who will have to go into his lineup going forward. These guys had big players, but not a great team effort. Mush sleds away with the win Week 1, 135.05 to 124.25.
Pistol v. Daddy Wombat.
vs.
As predicted this was a shootout, but Pistol left his safety on. Pistol had a pretty neutral week, Gronk was a letdown, OBJ a letdown, and Mikey T a letdown. Kelce put up ok numbers and Hunt is looking like the premier back in Cleveland who will be playing behind all year. Daddy Wombat came to play, Russ Wilson, Kamara, Metcalf, D-Hop, and Will Fuller all wanted it more. Russ put up a casual 46.1, Kamara 21.2, and D-Hop 22.1 look to be a solid core for D.W. Daddy Wombat tap danced all over Pistol 162.7 to 111.35.
Trashman v. Batman.
vs.
This was a great matchup. Trashman gave to keys to the garbage truck to Cam, Aaron Jones got a late score, Zack Moss playing, and Mark Andrews is sorting out the rest of the recyclables. Batman has Lamar Jackson. Period. Harrison Butker was outscored in Week 1 and almost cost him the win. Anthony Miller played well, Shelault too, but Bob Woods and Juju are going to be the duo to watch. Batman took out the trash in a big Week 1 win, 158.15 to 118.45.
CrossFit v. Touchdown Guy.
vs.
CrossFit did what he knows best, he set the League PR in scoring. 172.1. Touchdown Guy put up good numbers but it’s not enough. The scores for CrossFit with Dak and CMC were expected. The breakouts by Bob Anderson, Mostert, and Crowder were the icing on the protein shake. TDG has ringers in Josh Allen, Julio Jones, and Calvin Ridley, but Bell’s injury, Kerryon’s lack of touches, and D-Jack not scoring all hurt pushing his team over the edge. Watch out for TDG, he is likely going to have a new running back, come back tomorrow to find out who. CrossFit wins in a high scoring affair 172.1 to 132.8.
Teach vs. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons.
vs.
This one came down to the wire. JonnyDIII needed a big night out of James Conner. It did not happen and Conner suffered an injury. Teach skipped the syllabus and went straight to Lesson 1. Aaron Rodgers is the greatest football player of all time, putting up a whopping 45.6 points. Chris Carson put up 21.6 , and T.J. Hockenson put up 14.1. Teach left two big names on his bench, but he didn’t really lose much, giving up only 7.4 points. JonnyDIII was pretty flat. Stefon Diggs was the only player on his roster to outscore projections by a point. Teach taught the league he’s not to be messed with, winning 132.8 to 108.45.
Power Rankings after Week 1
Big moves for CrossFit, Daddy Wombat, and Batman. Is it time to tank for JonnyDIII? Mush knows the Iditarod is a long race, where you finish is all that matters, and he needs to string a couple wins in a row to become one of the lead dogs.

Seattle -2 @ Atlanta
Seahawks won, you won.
Tampa Bay @ New Orleans Over 49
Two high powered offenses, and some help from the defense, the over wins.
Other league updates, before the season started JonnyDIII and Bottom Bunk made a trade. JonnyDIII received a third round pick for the 2021 draft and Bottom Bunk received Kendrick Bourne WR for San Francisco, is this the beginning of the tank? PeePaw scooped up Scotty Miller the WR for Tampa Bay on Sunday and it looks like a starter for the rest of the season. PeePaw making more moves? Find out tomorrow.
See you tomorrow for the Week 2 Previews. I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!
