Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 1 Recap. It was a sloppy Week 1 of football, just how I like my steaks. We had a lot of big hitters miss the mark this weekend and the scores show it. We had some good scores and some awful scores. No big upsets this week, but we do see some teams that missed their window and will not see the outside for a long time.
Game of the week.

CrossFit v. Touchdown Guy
We mentioned big hitters, CrossFit is full of them. CMC and Ekeler had an exact match of 24.4 points each. CrossFit had a nice little Thursday with Amon-Ra St. Brown getting a sweet 16 to start the week. CrossFit is still in a QB carousel. Fields had 21 on his bench, which isn’t a high bar to beat but Dak only had 9 points due to the Cowboys Defense blowing out the Giants. Mostert even snuck in a sneaky dozen. CrossFit had a solid week, but left it there for TDG to take. TDG did not take it. D-Henry had 13 and saw less snaps than his backup. Conner snuck in 10, Jacobs just couldn’t get things moving and did not find the endzone ending the day with 8 points. The good news for TDG was that B-Rob is the Commanders RB1 with 13 and Mike Evans gets it done with 16. Josh Allen would need a 50 point night to get TDG the win and despite one of the worst fantasy performances of all time, Allen came up short with 16 points. CrossFit wins this potential playoff matchup 114.25 to 83.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Batman
This one came down to Monday night with Mush needing something out of James Cook. Mush saw 14 from Geno, 11 from Dobbins but he is done for the season, and not much else. Mush is down bad. Mush hung onto Deebo for a little too long and also has an injury to Dionte Johnson. Good season to try and rethink something and focus on next years draft class. Batman did not show up either. Lamar got 10, DeVonta Smith saw 14 and Olave led the way with 15. The good news is those two young WRs are incredible. The bad news is D’Andre Swift is bad, A.J. Dillon is bad, and Van Jefferson did nothing as the pregame WR1 for the Rams. Batman will update his starting lineup and include Kyren Williams who had 18 points. Unfortunately for the near future Batman will probably miss Jakobi Meyers for a week at least but he was incredible in his debut in the Silver and Black with 25 points. Mush saw 8 from Cook and that was enough to best Batman but Batman’s future is not over like Mush. Mush wins 74 to 71.25.

Bruce v. Pistol
Bruce may never see the light of day again. Missed window, concrete poured on the house, whole entire building a fire code. Joe Burrow, Zeke, Najee, D.J. Moore, Skyy Moore, Godwin, Mingo and Engram all had between 1 and 9.99 points. That is very bad. The QB, in a 6 point passing TD league, had under 10 points. Hunter Renfrow had no points and no stats, BIG YIKES. The only bright spot was Zay Flowers the rookie with a baker’s dozen. Bruce is the worst team in the league having scored 49.3 points. My goodness, under 50 points. There are no bye weeks, this is a full roster of 10 players, under 50. This league has seen individual athletes break the 50 mark, Bruce’s whole team couldn’t do it. This is arguably the worst performance in the history of the league. Pistol had a setback when Christian Watson was announced that he would be out. Good for Pistol he played the worst team of all time in any fantasy league. Jordan Love had a lovely 33 points. A.J. Brown and Courtland Sutton combined for 22 points. Pistol still had Dalvin and Garrett Wilson for Monday night. No one cared about Monday night once Rodgers went down so I am not going to say what they scored. Pistol wins 104.15 to 49.3.
v.
Daddy Wombat v. PeePaw
While Bruce is the worst team, Daddy Wombat is the worst managed. Alvin Kamara received the start despite the 3 game suspension. Hurts put up 18 points in a let down performance. D.K. and JSN combined for 15 points, 12 of them coming from D.K. Metcalf. Chase Claypool put up a goose egg for D.W. All and all a terrible performance for D.W. PeePaw went off in a week that he probably wishes he could have saved for literally any other opponent. Herbert only had 28, the points all came from the WR core. Aiyuk put up 29, J.J. and Ridley had 20 a piece, and Monty even added in 13. PeePaw is a well oiled machine, it’s just a matter of waiting to see what seed he gets in the playoffs. PeePaw wins commandingly 138 to 62.6.
v.
Trashman v. Teach
Trashman went up against last year’s second place team and a powerhouse. Trashman put up a good week but would it be enough? Lawrence had a solid 27, Aaron Jones came out swinging with 26 and is a must have for the Packers so hopefully his hammy is ok. Nick Chubb did Nick Chubb things and got his 15. The sneaky start was Tutu Atwell who had 15 and the rookie Jordan Addison found the endzone to get 14. Teach has his trio of Tua/Hill/Waddle that combined for almost 90 points. That beats a lot of teams this week. Stevenson had 12 and Pollard had 21. What a week for Teach. He picked up where he left off and runs away with a big win Week 1, 147.8 to 118.65 Teach was lead dog and currently leads the pack.
v.
JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Bottom Bunk
Not a lot of people care about a completely one-sided affair, well one person does, but for the rest of you we won’t waste too much time here. JD3 handled a matchup he normally loses. Those fluke games. an inferior opponent, should win game, those have seemed to cause JD3 trouble in the past, not this year. JD3 saw 21 from Diggs, 20 from Pittman and 19 from Etienne. The TE position is an absolute liability for JD3. Bottom Bunk didn’t do terrible. I mean he wasn’t good but not terrible. I’m kidding. Drake London 0, Devante Parker 0, Mercole Hardman 0, and Dallas Goedert 0. B.B. did get 17 out of Bijan, 12 from Mattison and 15 from Breece. What a beat down, JD3 gets the win 132.7 to 82.5.
Well that does it for Week 2. A lot of one sided matchups. Hopefully, things get a little more competitive as the season goes on and hopefully more scoring. Tomorrow we will rinse and repeat with our Matchups and new Power Rankings. Until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!
