Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 3 Recap. We had a lot of hope for some big upsets, but we only got one. We had a lot of scoring in fantasy this week, but did the teams start those players? Let’s dive in.
Game of the week.
v.
Bottom Bunk v. Bruce
First team to 100 wins, neither hit. This should be a loss to both teams. Bottom Bunk started Jamaal Williams, who is on IR. B.B. only saw real points from 3 players, Watson had 31, Mattison had 15 and Pickens had 10. The Williams start cost B.B. a possible 4.1 points. What a disaster team. B.B. is looking to trade for a WR, being responsive would help, starting Jamaal Williams was not very responsive, maybe something gets done in 5 weeks. Bruce is somehow worse. Bruce is a certified scumbag. Bruce lied in the initial draft. Bruce took the future bust Najee Harris as the 1.01. Bruce then drafted Justyn Ross as a first round pick. If Bruce did not show his inept ability to manage a fantasy football team Bruce then traded a first, third, a depth WR, and a pro bowl QB for D.J. Moore. D.J. Moore has not finished above WR 18 on a season. Either way, Bruce sat D.J. Moore the last two weeks. This is the most obvious tank job. Bruce is in week 3 and has already tanked two weeks. This is directly impacting the league as the playoff picture is not even close to being set. Worse yet, Bruce has not completed his first week punishment for finishing with the lowest score of the week. Bruce again finished as the low man. Bottom Bunk wins this week 87.35 to 74.95.

CrossFit v. Daddy Wombat
This one went exactly how you thought it would. CrossFit saw 21 a piece from Dak and Amari Cooper. CMC added 20, Kelce had 16 (insert Taylor Swift lyric) and Amon-Ra St. Brown had 15. Like TDG, CrossFit saw a lot of production from a vet, Raheem the Dream Mostert put up 42 points. That type of boom performance would ruin D.W.’s day. Hurts had 27, Piece 13, Metcalf 14, Gabe the Babe Davis and Jeudy had 10 a piece, and a surprise rookie burst onto the scene in Tank Dell with 23 points. It was a solid week for D.W. but he faced the wrong team. CrossFit wins 162.05 to 118.15.
v.
PeePaw v. Mush’s Mongrels
PeePaw was down heading into Sunday night but really turned it on. Herbert had 43, Jefferson had 24 and Mims had 20 (what a steal). The big turnaround for PeePaw cam Sunday night. Davante Adams turned back the clock for 36 points. This was a huge performance that PeePaw needed to handle a poorly run team. Mush is out of it. Too many injuries. Mush needs to really evaluate his strength and conditioning program. Geno had 23, James Cooked up 12, Josh Palmer had 13, Christian Kirk also had 13, Deebo had a fluke 22, Hollywood broke onto the scene with 15 and Mike Williams had 22 and unfortunately had an ACL injury that will end his and Mush’s season. What looked like a great matchup flipped late on Sunday. PeePaw wins 153.09 to 134.5.
v.
Pistol v. Teach
Upset alert? Teach is down 8 points with 5:34 left in the third and Mixon just scored and Tee Higgins is looking to get involved. Pistol rode dirty with Purdy who put up 30. Kenneth Walker the Third scored 29 points for Pistol in what may be the trade of the century with Javonte Walker’s struggles. Jerome Ford put up 18, Sutton had 15 and A.J. Brown had a late 18 points on Monday night. Would that be enough to hold off Teach? Teach saw 42 from Tua, 26 from Tyreek, 16 from Romeo oh Romeo where art thou Romeo, and 14 from Pollard. It would come down to the Mixon/Higgins combo, having 15 points as of now and needing 8 more and some change. The combo ended up with a total of 17 and comes up just short, Pistol wins a major upset 147.7 to 140.75.
v.
Batman v. Touchdown Guy
Batman needed a miracle Monday night and it looks like another dark knight in Gotham. Lamar had a solid showing with 23, Swift had another great week with 14, Olave matched the 14 and Jakobi Meyers added a dozen. A.J. Dillon, as the premier back for the Packers had 3.3 points. What an absolute bust. Batman would still have Kyren Williams on Monday night and he would need multiple second half TDs to get Batman back in the game. Touchdown Guy had a great week from an old vet. Adam Thielen was a reception machine and even got into the endzone for 26 points. Josh Allen had a manageable 28, James Conner had 19, Mike Evans added 15 on Monday, Kittle had a baker’s dozen and Jacobs put up 10. Puka Nacua would still go for TDG in the late Monday night spot. The Rams players really canceled each other out and TDG wins 134 to 102.8.
v.
Trashman v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons
Trashman’s loss of Nick Chubb was evident. Trashman not only felt the loss of Chubb, but in solidarity started Aaron Jones who was out this week. Zack Moss did pick up the RB room with 22 points. T-Law said I don’t know about you but I’m feeling 22 (why didn’t this happen in the CrossFit/Kelce write up), Pacheco had 15 and rookie TE Sam LaPorta is an absolute must start with 18 points. JD3 saw solid a solid week out of most of his guys. The leading scorer on his team was Keenan Allen with 39, Mahomes was just behind with 37, Etienne added 16, Diggs with 15, Sanders with 15 and Pittman saw 12. Jamarr Chase finally bounced back having 19+ points, no need to rub it in with what he’d finish with. The help of Keenan, like many veterans this week, helped push JD3 over with a win 167.35 to 113.55. JD3 was lead dog on the week.
That is all she wrote for the Week 3 Recap. We may have a new picker, but we have yet to get an official name. There will be an all new power rankings, I cannot wait to see where some of these teams fall. Until next time I hope you (not Bruce) and yours (not Bruce’s) have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!
