Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 7 Recap. Things are getting interesting at the bottom. A lot of teams laid an egg this week. Some teams showed out and will be rewarded in the power rankings. Couple late minute adds to help secure wins for teams. Big week, GOTW, matchups, and Professor Pickum, let’s get it!
Game of the week.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Touchdown Guy
JD3 almost pulled off the optimum score in his starting lineup, just missed it by a point. That is usually a good sign. TDG was not so lucky, but it would not matter. Josh Allen made a late push to hit 34 points on the weekend, but Mahomes had some magic for 49. The RB matchups were completely one-sided. JD3 saw 21 from Etienne, 15 from Hunt, and 7 from a Royce Freeman. TDG had a combined 9 from Jacobs and Gibby. The WR matchups were pretty even across the board, but TDG had the edge. JD3 had 15 from Diggs and Pittman, and had another 12 from McLaurin. TDG had 19 from Nacua, 17 from Evans, 13 from Kendrick Bourne and 10 from Godwin. It would all come down to Monday night and if Kittle could put up 45 points on National Tight End Day, he would not, JD3 gets a huge win 156.8 to 122.35. JD3 was lead dog and now has a 2 game lead in his division.
v.
Bruce v. Batman
Bruce set a made up lineup. He is the only one doing this. Bruce deserves only bad things. Batman had a gameday Darrell Henderson Jr. pickup that was the move of the week. Hendy put up 13 for him. Lamar of old showed up for 46 points. A.J. Dillon had a surprising 11 points. Jakobi Meyers had 15. There were murmurs that Darren Waller didn’t want it. After seeing his wife win a championship, Darren knew he better show up, and he did for 19. Batman wins this one 135.35 to 78.5.
v.
Bottom Bunk v. CrossFit
Bottom Bunk stinks out loud. Ridder had 18, Goedert had 16, and Pickens had 13. The bad was Dyami Brown with 0, Jameson Williams with 0, Bijan with 0.3 and Devante Parker with 1.3. I mean my goodness. CrossFit would head into Monday night with a comfortable 40 point lead. CrossFit did not have that great of a week. Kelce led the way with 30, St. Brown and Barkley each had 17 a piece. Bottom Bunk would need Mattison to outscore CMC by more than 40 points. I am not sure of the outcome, but that will not happen. CrossFit wins 128.4 to 68.1.
v.
Pistol v. Mush’s Mongrels
Pistol would need an absolute disaster from Purdy to not win this week. Prior to Monday night he saw 25 from A.J. Brown, 23 from Gibbs, 17 from Sutton, 16 from Ford, 12 from Kenny Walker in a revenge game and 11 from Javonte Williams in a revenge game. Mush set a lineup. That is honorable. He just didn’t see enough to get a win, shucks. James Cook had 18, Palmer had 16, Rachaad White saw 13 in a revenge game, Mikey T put up a dozen and Dionte Johnson came back and put up 10. Mush keeps the 1.01 and Pistol picks up a win 141.2 to 127.95.
v.
Teach v. Daddy Wombat
Teach was down bad heading into Sunday and Monday night, but things would tighten up and he would need some points Monday night to get it done. Teach saw 10 from Doubs and 12 from Stevenson as the only real highlights during the early slate. The Dolphins trio was a letdown. Only Tyreek saw 20. Tua and Waddle combined for 26. Not a great trio this weekend. K.J. Osborn and Hockenson would go on Monday night and would need 30ish combined points to get it done. That is to be determined. D.W. started out hot with 23 from Kamara on Thursday night. Hurts had 33 on Sunday night. These are big weeks and a huge help for D.W. to hopefully hold off Teach. Josh Downs sprung for 21 and Jaxon Smith-Njigba burst onto the scene for 14 points. That is a huge help from two rookies. Would it be enough? We look back to Hock and Osbourn who combined for 21. D.W. wins 110.09 to 104.8.
v.
Trashman v. PeePaw
Trashman took out the trash this week. PeePaw’s spiral is confusing but possibly warranted as PeePaw was quick to claim the title after week 3. Things have only gotten worse for PeePaw. Trashman had a big week from Mark Andrews with 20, Pacheco had 14, Tutu Atwell had 10 and Addison would have a solid Monday night for 28. PeePaw saw a terrible start on Thursday night by putting up 1 point in the flex spot with Ridley. Jeff Wilson also saw 1 point. The good was Gus Edwards for 21, Rashee Rice with 15 and Jaylen Warren for 10. Aiyuk would go Monday Night and would need over 25 points. Aiyuk did his best but came up short. Trashman wins 122.1 to 87.85.
That does it for the matchups, now we get into the picks.
