Good morning everyone, I hope this finds you well. We are almost a quarter of the way through the fantasy season, and things are starting to settle in, we are who we thought we are. This week I play “So into You” but the Gambino’s cover of the Tamia hit in the background as I stare at my draft picks. We are going to get to the power rankings, and see how Dr. Tilt did, but first let’s see how the matchups went.
Our (still unsponsored) game of the Week.
Pistol shot on over to Mush’s Mongrels.
vs.
Some managers know what they want, some are in a different time zone. Looking to trade a player for picks, then doing a 180 and wanting players to give up picks. Either way, if you cannot manage your decisions how can you manage a team? I’d call this an upset, but it was really just poor management. Pistol was an 11 point favorite heading in. Good teams win, great teams cover, Pistol did neither. Russell Gage going out hurt me in a different league, so I do feel some of Pistol’s pain. Allen Lazard was the only Packer’s wide receiver to show up on Sunday night and it shows with his production. Murray, Mikey Davis, and Kareem Hunt all showed up, David Montgomery and his trade value did not. Mush again wins (due to strength of schedule, that the commissioner made and changed after the draft, which is a weird thing to think about now that we look at how his team is undefeated and one of the highly graded draft teams is winless, it’s just really odd to see). What a late push, with CEH, Dobbins, and Hardman to play on Monday night, Mush watched the game like Mr. Burns wiggling his fingers together as his players put up points. Stafford and James Robinson showed up. Josh Jacobs was a little bit of a disappointment this week. But Mercole Hardman tripled up plus. Mush could really use some QB help though, rumored to be considering giving up a later round pick for a rookie franchise QB. We shall see. Mush is in a good spot in the win column, but if things get tight and it comes down to points scored, Mush may be missing a Mongrel. Mongrels pounce Pistol 132.26 to 131.2.
PeePaw strolled on over to Batman
vs.
Build me up, buttercup baby just to let me down. It’s opposite day for PeePaw because I kind of went in on him in the preview. Well, he pulled out a win. Single-carrie for the first time, Devin Singletary was able to see a lot of touches with Z. Moss out. Miles Gaskin goes down easy but keeps his points up. Derrick Henry is a slow burn but produced big this week. The rookie WRs are finding their way, Justin Jefferson put up 27 on the bench, but CeeDee Lamb put up a cool 12 and Brandon Aiyuk put up 18. If PeePaw can get Davante back and figure out a RB or two, he might be a contender next year. Batman just didn’t have it this week. James Conner put up 22, Bob Woods 18, and Juju with 14 all gave Batman a shot. But the play from Darren Waller, Harrison Butker, and Lamar Jackson let him short of cashing in and putting PeePaw into an early retirement. Batman slips into 1-2, but he’s still in contention for Manager of the year. PeePaw finally gets a one in the win column despite being one of the lowest scoring teams. PeePaw beats Batman 154.15 to 115.21.
Bottom Bunk should have stayed home versus Touchdown Guy.
vs.
There is nothing like the comfort of your own bed. Bottom Bunk’s bed happens to be a dumpster. Another week just flirting with missing 100 points. Dalvin Cook played well. Everyone else was a snooze. Touchdown Guy is scoring. Josh Allen is so tall. TDG’s pick of Calvin Ridley is going to put him in the conversation for Manager of the Year. Henderson was a nice little surprise for TDG with Akers being out. Keenan Allen is so thankful that Justin Herbert, who I hear is available for trades, is airing it out and only throwing to Allen and Ekeler. Which is makes sense to me. TDG absolutely demolishes Bottom Bunk 140.45 to 104.1.
Teach is an adjunct heading to Bruce.
vs.
Teach saw that Aaron Rodgers was held back last year and still stuck with him. Randall Cobb, an old student put up good numbers as well, oh and Tyreek Hill still good at football. The rest of the team was average to under, with Mixon continuing to struggle and the cheap play on Carson to end his day early. Mark Ingram is almost touchdown dependent. Bruce, he might be the top bunk to Bottom Bunk in this week’s rankings (see below). Tyler Boyd, Chris Godwin, J.T. and Emmanuel Sanders all had double digit weeks. But the downfall of Matt Ryan and that last second pick, paired with Jules and Fournette putting up low numbers, cost Bruce this week. Teach took it to Bruce 132.75 to 120.1.
Trashman was taken out by Daddy Wombat.
vs.
Trashman had a tough matchup this week. His team did well. Chubb, Jeff Wilson, Allen Robinson all had 20 point weeks. But Cam Newton left things a little short, and that was the difference. Solid outings from McKinnon, Aaron Jones, and Kenny G, all led to a good score, but Daddy Wombat has two of the greatest minds in fantasy working together. Daddy Wombat took Russell Wilson who put up a 50 spot, Kamara with 38, and D-Hop with a cool 18. Follow that with average production out of Fuller, Gurley and even Giovani Bernard, that’s right a Giovani sighting, Daddy Wombat was able to get it done. Daddy Wombat remains perfect and producing big numbers. While Trashman moves to 1-2 they are the best 1-2 team out there. Daddy Wombat beats Trashman 193.21 to 156.2.
CrossFit sets PR against JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons.
vs.
What a joke. CMC and Mostert are out. CrossFit subs in Rex Burkhead. Dak 42, Ekeler 26, Cooper Kupp 21, Lockett 32, and Rex Burkhead 31. Cool. CrossFit keeps catching breaks, his gym membership has been free so far. CrossFit is the first to 200 points in a game. Is Patrick Mahomes back? Yes, he put up the highest fantasy total of the week 2ith 54.95. Sony Michel had 15 points, but Rex snipes all he touchdowns. Corey Davis is just a machine, staying at that just about 10 points. Mike Evans absolutely torched the secondary with 2 touchdowns and two yards of dust. Michael Gallup finally showed up. Issues, Mooney and Drew Sample, the cornerstones of the rebuild combined for 3.5 points. JonnyDIII is in the top half of scoring and loses. Again. This happened again. I guess I’m the Lions or Falcons? I put up big numbers, I’m the fourth leading scorer, but have lost every week. Either way, that consolation bracket looks to be mine for the taking. CrossFit power cleans JonnyDIII 206.5 to 154.75.
Now we have some picks recap.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 3 Prescription were the following:
Los Angeles Rams +2 @ Buffalo Bills
Dallas Cowboys @ Seattle Seahawks Over 55.5
Kansas City Chiefs @ Baltimore Ravens Over 53.5
Some words from Dr. Tilt.
Dr. Tilt stays hot moving to 8-2 on the season after a 2-1 week. Rams late pass interference penalty costs them the game after getting a stop on 4th down which in turn cost them the +2 cover. First bad beat of the year. Was the Doc worried after starting the slate 0-1, that the losing week might be here in Week 3? NO. Although he started to wonder if things were just cursed this week after D.K. Metcalf soft jogged into the end zone only to have the ball punched out for a touchback. Not a problem though as these offenses stayed hot and the defenses ice cold smashing the over of 55.5. Last but not least, we squeak by the over of 53.5 for the Monday night showdown even with a missed field goal and PAT. Pro Tip: always lock in the Doc’s picks on Wednesday when released because had you waited until the weekend or Monday you may have pushed or took the L.
Week 3: 2-1
Season Record: 8-2
Lastly we have our Power Rankings for Week 4.
CrossFit and Daddy Wombat are absolute units. Bottom Bunk and Bruce are not good. Bottom Bunk continues to flirt with the 100 point mark. Mush moves up as he just gets it done, he’s the second lowest point scoring team, but he is undefeated. His fall will be catastrophic, if it happens.
What a week. I will see you tomorrow as we look at Week 4. I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!

This is fake news, bottom bunk had many injured players which was the cause of the loss. This blog is like the CNN of fantasy football. #fakenews #risetothetop(bunk)
