Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 2 Preview. The standings are all shook up. We have one of the biggest matchups of the season already. It is a show stopper. After having 7 teams with under 100 points, you have to wonder, is the Commissioner on the hot seat? Find out as we dive into this weeks game of the week, matchups and the all new Power Rankings.
Game of the week.
v.
JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Teach
This is the biggest matchup of the season so far and possible of the entire year. Two undefeated teams going at it at the top of their division. JD3 has the better QB, but Teach’s QB is fantasy hot. Mahomes and Tua square off this week. Neither Team is sporting much in the backfield. JD3 has Sanders and Etienne while Teach has Mixon, Pollard and Stevenson. I think Etienne probably gets the nod there if he gets his pass touches. We will jump to tight end because who cares, it is Symthe v. Hockenson, Hockenson and Teach get the nod there. As for the WR core, JD3 has Chase, Diggs, Allen, Hop, Pittman, and McLauren. Teach has Hill and Waddle, Higgins, Burks and Osborn. The big question is how does the Miami trio do? Hill and Waddle’s success directly impacts Tua. JD3 has options, he needs multiple quarterbacks to feed their WR1s. Right now the teams are tied for lead dog. This one is too close to call, I mean it is exactly tied as of right now, the writer is a Dolphins fan so while the odds are in JD3s favor, the heart wants what the heart wants. Buckle up this is going to be good showing.
v.
Daddy Wombat v. Touchdown Guy
D.W. still has Kamara in his starting lineup. I mean what are we doing? Hurts, Pierce, Metcalf, and JSN. Then the cliff falls off. D.W. is projected about 115 if he checks the app and moves Kamara out. TDG needs a bounce back in the worst way. A loss this week would be a real shot to the gut. TDG is running it back with Josh Allen, D-Henry, Jacobs, Mike Evans, James Conner, B-Rob, Kittle and Puka Nacua. The rookie is going to be TDG’s saving grace. TDG also made a big move today. TDG traded away a 2024 2nd round pick and a 2025 1st round pick, for a 2024 4th round pick and Chris Godwin. TDG now has the #1 and #2 pass catching option for Baker Mayfield. TDG is about a 25 point favorite, I think TDG gets it done. TDG gets right, gets tight.
v.
PeePaw v. Batman
PeePaw is going to be a problem all year with his explosive WR core. Herbert and Monty just need to maintain safe floors. Adams, J.J., Ridley, Lamb and Aiyuk. This is not good for whoever PeePaw is playing. PeePaw is on a mission. Batman is coming off of a tough loss. Batman has Lamar, DeVonta Smith, Chris Olave and Darren Waller. That is about it. Batman does not have the fire power to compete with PeePaw and this one should be over quick. PeePaw is a 22 point favorite and I wouldn’t be surprised if its more than that by the end of Monday.
v.
Bottom Bunk v. Pistol
Bottom Bunk is historically bad at this whole dynasty thing. He has Alexander Mattison, Bijan, and Breece Hall. Running backs are not enough in this league. B.B. does not have enough this week. Pistol is shooting for that 6 seed. Kenny Walker, Javonte Williams, Dalvin, Garrett Wilson and A.J. Brown. I know it is only a 15 point difference, but Pistol is going to win this one in a tight matchup like he always does. Pistol just knows how to squeak out a win.
v.
Trashman v. Bruce
This one is a doozey. Trashman has an injured Aaron Jones, if Aaron Jones is out this will be a lot tighter than we could ever imagine. Trashman has Nick Chubb and Pacheco. Trasman also needs Mark Andrews to be back in the mix, Lamar needs his WR1. Trashman has Randall Cobb in his lineup, that is bad. Jordan Addison is the only WR worth mentioning as a positive play. Bruce needs Joe Burrow to get back and Najee to do anything. Bruce is starting two tight ends, Engram and Hunter Henry. Bruce also has Zay Flowers and D.J. Moore. Bruce is gearing up for the next few years as he traded away Chris Godwin and now has an addition 2nd round pick and a future 1st. There are not a lot of bright spots in this matchup. Trashman is an 12 point favorite at this time, I don’t think either team wins this week. Both somehow lose and both score under 100 points.
v.
CrossFit v. Mush’s Mongrels
CrossFit is looking to make a back to back back at the chip. CMC, Barkley, Mostert, maybe Ekeler, Amari Cooper, St. Brown, maybe Kelce, we shall see. CrossFit has all the fire you could want. The question is the QB play, Dak hasn’t had to play this year, can he get it done? Seriously, I need to know for other leagues, can Dak put up big numbers? Mush, well the season is over. James Cook looks good, Rachaad White looks bad. I mean Hayden Hurst in the flex is bad. Mikey T, Mikey Will, Deebo, Hollywood and Kirk are all solid WR options. But they just aren’t those wow type players you need to win when you are missing other pieces, let alone when you’re going up against a powerhouse like CrossFit. CrossFit is a 22 point favorite, I don’t think its close. CrossFit by a million.
Now for the all new Power Rankings.
Not a ton of movement here. Same old same old. PeePaw moves up a couple spots after his big week 1 performance. Batman unfortunately drops a couple spots just because he lost and some other teams had good weeks, like Pistol. That is about it for the big movements. Otherwise there is not a lot going on.
Well that does it for the Week 2 preview. We have 2 good matchups, one is exciting and one is boring. Either way, should be another week full of hope or heartbreak. Hopefully you have more hope than heartbreak this week, until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!
