Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 8 Recap. We got a week full of blowouts and one upset. It was a good week to be a favorite unless you got a birthday week. We take a dive into our game of the week, matchups and Dr. Tilt with his bonus pick.
Game of the week.
v.
CrossFit v. Mush’s Mongrels
CrossFit holds the record for most points (I think). So we all know that he can put up big numbies. TB12 got the start and put up 25 with Dak’s 34 on the bench. We still have a QB issue for CrossFit. CMC, more for me, put up a monster 39 points. Devin Duvernay and Amari Cooper put up a 20 piece each. Saquon put up 14 and pop drop and Lockett had himself 13. Ertz put up a cool 11 and Am-Ron St. Brown is back with a healthy 10. Mush had some byes and injuries, but it would not matter this week. Mush’s team is decent, but he needs his A-game for a matchup like this. He just dropped the ball. Mush started some guy named Keaontay Ingram who put up 0 points. D-Hendy had 4 points and was outscored by an undrafted free agent Ronnie Davis. Kenny Walker had 12 and Mel Gordon put up 13. Mel may have issues as Chase Edmonds just got thrown in the mix for Bronocs Country. CrossFit gets a win and is in peek form, 177.95 to 112.3.
v.
Bruce v. Daddy Wombat
Bruce suffered an early loss on Thursday night setting up his demise. Bruce got nothing from Bateman. Renfrow put up 1. Those do not help. D.J. Moore put up 25, Fournette had 13, Boyd had 11 and so did Godwin, last but not least Evan Engram put up 14. JT and no Zeke, bad bad time for Bruce this week just when he thought he was back, he’s not. Daddy Wombat is not known for points, I mean sometime he doesn’t even hit 100. D.W. has Hurts with 41 points, Alvin Kamara put up 38, and D-Hop had 28. I mean my goodness. Big week from those three, now add in solid performances by Metcalf and Jeudy putting up 30 total. Claypool and Pierce put up 26 total too. D.W. started Trautman again, Trautman was ruled out the last two weeks. I do not know what D.W. is doing, but it worked this week. D.W. wins 175.6 to 114.2.
v.
Bottom Bunk v. PeePaw
My prediction was “I think PeePaw doubles up B.B.” Well it happened. B.B. stinks out loud. Jamaal Williams is a TD vulture and put up 21. Pickens picked up nothing this week. I mean this lineup is so bad just trust me on it, you do not want to hear who he’s playing (Burkhead, McKissic, Edmonds, Skowronek, Watkins). PeePaw put up big points. D’Onta Foreman, part of the 3-headed Panthers backfield, put up 32 points, Cook had an MJ, Aiyuk put up 17, Lamb had 16, and J.J. put up 13. Davante Adams only had 0.7 points, so this matchup could have been uglier if the Raiders were capable of playing football (kinda like B.B.) PeePAw wins 159.8 to 78.65.
v.
Teach v. Trashman
We had a new high score watch and Teach came up short, about the only thing he missed on this weekend. Teach’s triple stack put up 96 points, Tua, Hill, and Waddle. Rhamondre put up 18, Higgins had 12, and Latavius Murray had 12 too. I mean sheesh. Talk about a lecture. Trashman has Trevor Lawrence playing QB, that’s fun. Nick Chubb put up 25 points, Aaron Jones had 18, and Tyler Allgeier had 16. Let’s not leave out Terrance Marshall who had 11 points. Trashman started Jarvis Landry who was out this week. If Trashman reads this, maybe, check your lineups once and awhile. Teach took Trashman to school 206.7 to 119.15.
v.
Batman v. Touchdown Guy
Batman had a good week from Lamar with 31. Then he only had 2 other guys show up. Swift had 12 and Jakobi Meyers had 17. Batman has a lot to look forward to, his bench scored 0 points. His taxi on the other hand put up 2.5, on his taxi was starting QB Malik Willis. TDG needed to win this layup of a matchup. TDG go it done on the back of D-Train with 35 points. Cooper Kupp had 19, Evans had 15, and George Kittle had 11.
v.
Pistol v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s a Toure. When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine, that’s a Toure. Pistol saw a lot of taxi points. Samori Toure put up 10 points and Isaiah Likely put up 17 points. Pistol was projected to lose by 30 and he outscored his projection by 40 points. Kyler put up 37 and so did A.J. Brown. Pitts had a good week with 17, Herbert had 16, Garrett Wilson had 15 points, and lastly Nyheim Hines had 12. I mean everyone had points. What are the chances? JD3 scored points too. Mahomes was on bye and that hurt big time. Travis Etienne put up 24 points, Diggs had 20, McLaurin and Sanders combined for 28. Everyone else (but Cade Otton) sniffed double digits. It was a solid week, top half in points, but Pistol wins 154.1 to 143.45.

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 8 Preview. We are half way through the regular season. We have a week where there are no winning teams playing each other. This is a big week to separate the league. With no big matchups we have to ride the hot hand. We will look at our Game of the Week, Matchups, Dr. Tilt will look to remain perfect, and an all new Power Rankings.
Game of the week.
v.
CrossFit v. Mush’s Mongrels
CrossFit is coming off of a big win and so is Mush. If Mush pulls out a win, he and CrossFit will be .500 on the season. The league is still anyone’s (but Bottom Bunk’s) to win. CrossFit is still having a huge QB controversy. It looks like he is going with Dak this week. CrossFit has only added to his to his RB stable. Ekeler is out on bye, but Raheem Mostert is back in the mix. Saquon is at full force and it is looking like CMC might have a honeymoon in San Francisco. CrossFit also has Amari Cooper and Tyler Lockett. CrossFit has St. Brown and Duvernay who has been a sneaky start. CrossFit still has an issue with his flex spot, he is rocking Ertz as his tight end, but he also has Freiermuth in his lineup. Freiemuth has been up and down just like all the tight ends. Starting two tight ends is not what you want. Mush is riding out Geno at QB. He also has D-Hendy. I do not know about you, but entering this season starting those two guys would have been a real head scratcher. Paris Campbell has been receiving a lot of short passes, but the QB change in Indy may change that. Christian Kirk and Diontae Johnson have been having up and down years, Mush needs an up week from these guys. Mush is going with 2 TEs too, Knox and Taysom. Taysom is unlikely to get much work with JameO back in the lineup, but we will see. Mel Gordon might be the starter? Who knows. Last but not least, Mush has Deebo, he has an injury but he also has a division matchup, he might have to start. CrossFit is a 25 point favorite, I think he takes this one.
v.
Bruce v. Daddy Wombat
Bruce is hoping Joey B continues to catch fire. Bruce also is seeing work from Zeke, less from Najee, Fournette had a down week, and maybe JT finally gets right with the young QB under center. Bruce has D.J. Moore, Bateman, Godwin, and Tyler Boyd. These WRs all have a lot of upside, but the QBs have been inconsistent this year to say the least. D.W. has Hurts back, then Dameon Pierce, and D-Hop are the only ones he has back. James Rob is on the move to the big apple and isn’t someone he can count on for this week. Metcalf is injure and likely out this week. Claypool may be on the move so who knows how much he will be used. Jeudy had a solid week, but the QB concerns in Denver are an issue for him. Bruce is likely to be an 11 point favorite come this weekend, things could get dicey for Bruce, but I think he still gets the win.
v.
Bottom Bunk v. PeePaw
There are not enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe what the outcome of this game will be. Bottom Bunk is starting newly acquired Rex Burkhead. Jimmy G, J.D. McKissic, Chase Edmonds, Jamaal Williams, Drake London, George Pickens, Sammy Watkins, and who could forget Justin Tucker. PeePaw has his own Justin, Justin Jefferson one of the best fantasy WRs in the league. Dalvin Cook, Gus Edwards, David Monty, CeeDee Lamb, Aiyuk, and Davante. I mean come on. Who scheduled this game? B.B. is projected 88 points. PeePaw is projected 147. This one is already over. I think PeePaw doubles up B.B.
v.
Teach v. Trashman
Teach is rocking the double stack, Tua, Tyreek, and Jaylen Waddle. Mixon and Rhamondre seem to be a good WR duo. Tee Higgins, Alex Pierce, Latavius Murray, and T.J. Hockenson round out the bunch. Trashman needs a win bad. T-Law, Aaron Jones, Chubb, Curty Same, Mark Andrews, and probably Allen Robinson. Teach is a about a 29 point favorite. Teach is coming off a loss and in a let down spot. Teach probably gets the bounce back here, but I don’t know.
v.
Batman v. Touchdown Guy
Batman just hopes that TDG makes this quick and painless. Batman has Lamar, Hubbard, DeVonta Smith, Olave, and Jakobi Meyers. TDG has the Tall Josh Allen back, D-Train, Josh Jacobs, Eno or James Conner we will see. Mike Evans, but he’s hurt. Cooper Kupp, Bob Woods, and George Kittle. TDG is a 52, yes 52 point favorite in this matchup. TDG wins an easy one.
v.
Pistol v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons
Pistol could surprise some people here. Kyler is going up against a streaming QB. Michael Carter may have a big burst this weekend as the presumed lead back in New York at least for this matchup. Khalil Herbert has been sneaky and a TD would put him over the top. A.J. Brown is back too. Mix in Garrett Wilson, Tonyan, Pitts, and Sutton, these guys are all names that could make a splash. JD3 is on the waiver wire for a QB. Miles Sanders is back, Travis Etienne is the lone back for Jacksonville, Stefon Diggs is back, Ja’Marr, McLaurin, Pittman, Sing, and Cooks. JD3 has the bigger names, but they have to step up this week without Mahomes at the helm. JD3 is likely to be about a 28 point favorite come kickoff, we will have to see if he can get it done in this must win matchup.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 8 Prescription
Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons (-4.5)
The Bengals finally snapped the Falcons Cinderella undefeated ATS start. The doc would normally expect more regression for the Falcons but the gift of the Panthers upset against the reeling Buccaneers has this line off by a few points. Although a great effort from the Panthers after they’ve begun selling off their team, don’t expect the “we’re better without Christian McCaffrey” to show up two weeks in a row. Falcons win going away and remain “1st” in the NFC South.
Tennessee Titans (-2) @ Houston Texans
Mike Vrabel just loves winning games when people don’t think his team is any good. The people might end up being right in December and January but he makes them pay early on. Back to the well for the third time for the Doc. Don’t care who plays QB for the Titans, they get back the Texans in an ugly one.
San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams o42.5
Speaking of Christian McCaffrey… these two teams were rumored to be the most aggressive in terms of trying to acquire him with McCaffrey making his debut with the 49ers last week. Don’t think McVay doesn’t want to show he doesn’t need him coming off the bye? Don’t you think San Fran plays to shove their new toy down the Rams throats. In a divisional matchup that tends to be lean on points, expect a bit more offense on the turf in LA this week for two teams that both need a win.
**BONUS PICK**
Quick reminder, when Dr. Tilt goes 3-0 in a week, you get a bonus pick the following week.
Green Bay Packers @ Buffalo Bills (-10.5)
Speaking of teams that need a win, the Green Bay Packers. This is simple logic here. Let’s talk it out together. If you lose to the Giants and are gifted a “get right” game against the Jets the following week, and then lose that game, but are gifted a second “get right” game against the Washington C-Words and lose that game your punishment is the heavy Super Bowl favorites on the road in primetime when they are coming off a bye. This pick is as much about how bad the Packers currently are as it is how good the Bills are. Aaron Rodgers has never finished as a double-digit underdog in his career. There’s a good reason why.
Last week: 3-0
Season: 10-11
And now for an all-new power rankings.
Bruce is climbing up the rankings and Pistol is right where he wants to be. Teach suffered a loss and didn’t have a great offensive showing, the two leading scorers on the year jump him in the rankings. Sure, this is being hard on Teach but we aren’t grading on a curve here. Batman had a booming week so he gets a nice bump. With all the matchups being winning records versus losing records, there’s a solid chance these rankings are chalk next week.
That does it for this week. It should be an interesting weekend. We just saw a lot of upsets, but I don’t think that happens this week. I hope you aren’t upset this weekend and I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 7 Recap. What a weekend. We had a lot of upsets. This keeps the league honest. We will see how the league responds to the injuries sustained this weekend, but we have to get through this week first. Let’s look at our electric game of the week, matchups, and check in on Dr. Tilt.
Game of the week.
v.
Bottom Bunk v. Trashman
Much like the prime-time NFL games, this one either had a lot of defense or not a lot of offense. Our league does not have defense, so there was no offense. B.B. lost Breece Hall, but not before he put up 13 points. B.B. started Mercole Hardman because he has no one, Hardman had 26. George Pickens picked up 15 points for the B.B. The bad. B.B. once traded Michael Pittman Jr. for J.D. McKissic, McKissic had 0.4 points. Chase Edmonds was a trade target for B.B., he gave up a second rounder, for 1.7 points. B.B. used his 4th pick on Drake London who had 1.4 points. B.B. picked up Jalen Tolbert with pick 18 for a scratch start. Things do not look good for B.B. losing Breece all but guaranties a winless remaining schedule. Trashman did not do much better. Aaron Jones had burst for 24, Tyler Allgeier had 11, Nick Chubb put up 18, Curty Sam had 10. Trashman also started Richie James for 0.9 points and Mark Andrews for 0.4 points. Trashman had a 0.13 point lead heading into Monday night and had Tyquan Thornton to go. He didn’t score negative points. Trashman picks up the win 110.34 to 107.81.
v.
Pistol v. Touchdown Guy
Pistol my oh my. Kyler had 23. No one else had double digits (ok Khalil Herbert had 17 and the editor got a little sloppy by not including this). Touchdown Guy had a big week. Josh Jacobs lead the way with 35 points, Eno Benjamin followed with 21, Kittle had 19, D-Train had 15, and Mike Evans had 14. The only hiccup was Michael Gallup putting up 0 points. Touchdown Guy ran away with this one and is heating up. TDG wins 156.05 to 89.
v.
Teach v. Mush’s Mongrels
Teach took his undefeated squad on the road to play Mush’s Mongrels desperate for a win. Teach saw average production across the board which is usually enough to be the Mongrels. Rhamondre put up 20, Mixon had 17, Higgins and Pollard had 12 a piece, and Waddle and Hill added 11 a piece. Romeo where art thou Romeo, he was no where to be found and went from Shakespeare to a nursery rhyme by producing a golden goose. Mush made a trade a couple weeks back and it looks like it is paying off. Kenny “I Walk the Line” Walker put up 29 points and had two tuds. I see London I see France I say Paris Campbell doing a TD Dance had 18 points. Mike Will added 18 too, but suffered an ankle injury. Christian Kirk got right and got 14 points and the non-TE Taysom Hill scored 11 points. It all was enough to best the best, Mush wins 136.2 to 119.25. Teach is no longer perfect, do I smell a rebuild?
v.
Batman v. Daddy Wombat
Batman finally had over 100 points. That’s a positive. He found points with Chuba Hubbard who had 14, but has an ankle injury. Juju put up 22 and MVS added 13. David Njoku added 11, but also has an ankle injury. While Batman got his points, these injuries do not bode well for his future. D.W. saw injuries too. Losing Russ this week and starting Matty Ice only to lose him for next week is tough. Jalen Hurts is right around the corner though. Kamara added 14 and so did Pierce. D-Hop is all the way back with 15. James Rob put up 0 points, but is now headed to the Jets. D.K. Metcalf only had 2 points and now has a knee injury. Adam Trautman was started and was ruled out before the game, tough look. D.W. also hit 100 points, but Batman had more. Batman wins 124.5 to 100.65.
v.
CrossFit v. PeePaw
CrossFit just came off a devastating loss. I’m talking gut wrenching. Can he bounce back? CrossFit is still struggling at QB, Dak only had 18, TB12 on his bench matched. Yikes. CMC in a forced start put up 7, which isn’t bad on 3 day notice. Ekeler is a monster with 31, and speaking of monsters Mostert had 20. Saquon put up a casual 16 points. CrossFit got more points, he added 13 from Kelce and 10 from Duvernay. PeePaw entered Monday Night hoping to reach 100 points. Monty was all he had left. Kenyan Drake put up 0.5 points and Gus Edwards rode the bench with 19.Davante had 14 and Aiyuk put up 12 points. Then PeePaw saw a lot of non-double digit scores. Monty had 12 and did not get the miracle PeePaw needed. CrossFit wins 138.07 to 100.35.
v.
Bruce v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons
Everyone knows regular season games don’t matter. Bruce had something to prove and JD3 already has everything a gal can dream of. Bruce had an absolutely nuclear performance from Joey B who had 53 points and Tyler Boyd was a part of that with 26 points. Zeke had 18, Najee added 10, JT had 12, and D.J. Moore showed up for 16. JD3 saw some of the Burrow points with Chase having 29. Mahomes had 40. Etienne the new lone back in Jacksonville had 18. JD3 with a bad move trusted Keenan Allen’s activation and Keenan got a whole 2 points. JD3 was down 17 and some change heading into Monday Night with no one else than Money Mooney. Was Mooney Money? Mooney was missed on a deep TD pass that may have put JD3 over. Bruce wins 163.75 to 153.25. Bruce was lead dog, JD3 was 3 on the week (TDG was 2, weird). Tough loss for the Joyful Demons and possible comeback season for Bruce.

Dr. Tilt was perfect, Dr. Tilt is back baby.
Week 7: 3-0
Season: 10-11
That does it for this week. We will look at the matchups tomorrow and see all the position shuffling with the bye week and injuries. We will see what Dr. Tilt writes up to try and make a run at repeating perfect weeks. Until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 7 Preview. We have what the fans want. The fans want an electric game of the week, that is exactly what we are getting. We have our other matchups, Dr. Tilt, and an all new power rankings and a team that is all too familiar with being ranked dead last.
Game of the week.
v.
Bottom Bunk v. Trashman
We are all adults here. Some of us are fathers to adorable children, some of us will never experience love and have time to write about a fantasy football league, but nonetheless we are adults. Most adults have parted ways with their childhood bed sets. If you had a sibling there is a chance that you had a bunk bed. As we age we’ve grown out of our childhood beds. My bunk bed has been thrown out. That brings us to this weeks game of the week, something we should throw out. Bottom Bunk cannot set a competent lineup and Trashman can’t remember to set a lineup. These two teams are just wasting everyone’s time. B.B. doesn’t have a good QB. B.B. doesn’t have a good RB. B.B. doesn’t have a good WR. B.B. doesn’t have a good TE. All B.B. has is a kicker. Trashman doesn’t have a good QB. Trashman has two good RBs but one team doesn’t use him in Aaron Jones and the Packers, the other is Nick Chubb. Trashman has Amari Rodgers in his lineup. I mean what is this guy doing. Curty Sam and Mark Andrews are also in the lineup. The interesting thing is that Trashman set his lineup but he has A-Rob in his lineup with a bye. I expect a waiver move, but you do not know with either of these teams. Trashman will likely be a 10 point favorite by the time this thing kicks off. My prediction is neither team hits 100.
v.
Pistol v. Touchdown Guy
Pistol is in the playoff picture. This is a potential playoff matchup for Pistol if he makes it. Pistol would love to lose this “playoff matchup” before he ever gets there. Pistol has Kyler. Pistol has backup RBs across the board. Pistol has Sutton and Lazard. Pistol rounds things out with Kyle Pitts and Broadway Bob. TDG pulled out a tough win last week with his studs on bye. TDG gets D-Henry back. Mix in Many Men B-Rob, Mike Evans, Josh Jacobs, George Kittle, and Bob Woods. TDG is a 30 point favorite and I think that gets the job done.
v.
Teach v. Mush’s Mongrels
Teach is still undefeated. He is facing a team that lacks points. It is crazy how easy Teach’s schedule is. Teach is starting Tua in a revenge game. Tua v. the league. Mixon, Rhamondre, Pollard, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, Pierce, Doubs, and T.J. Hockenson. This is a good group of guys. Teach might just keep this thing going another week. Mush is grasping at straws. Ken Walker, Mike Will, and Deebo. Those are his big names. Mush has some other guys, but who cares. Teach is a 20 point favorite, Teach gets the win here.
v.
Batman v. Daddy Wombat
Batman cannot do much worse than what he’s done the last two weeks. Batman is broken back bottom of the prison down bad. Batman has Lamar, DeAndre Swift, Olave, and hopefully Darren Waller. D.W. gets D-Hop back, mix in Kamara, Metcalf, Pierce, and Jeudy. D.W. should be about a 16 point favorite come kickoff. First one to 100 wins this one, I give the edge to D.W. and Batman continues his skid.
v.
CrossFit v. PeePaw
This is our most exciting potential high scoring matchup of the week. CrossFit is coming off of a tough loss. CrossFit has no byes. CrossFit is at full strength, imagine facing CrossFit this week. CrossFit is going with Dak, CMC, Ekeler, Barkley, Amari Cooper, Tyler Lockett, and Travis Kelce. CrossFit has the RB1, 3, and 4 on the season. These guys are legit. PeePaw is up against it. PeePaw is going with Herbert, Monty, Lamb, Aiyuk, and Davante Adams. PeePaw does not have Cook and Just Jefferson this week. This is a tough week for PeePaw to lose two studs. CrossFit is a 30 point favorite, it is tough to think PEePaw pulls it off, I have to give the edge to CrossFit here.
v.
Bruce v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons
Bruce gets back his RB, J.T. His other backs include Fournette, Najee, and Zeke. Bruce’s WRs include Chris Godwin, Renfrow, D.J. Moore, and Tyler Boyd. Bruce has an RB heavy team but they have not been great this year. JD3 has his best RB on bye. JD3 is rocking Mahomes, Etienne, Chase, Pittman, McLaurin, and hopefully Keenan Allen. This is an interesting matchup because Bruce has the Bengals QB and JD3 has the WR1 for the Bengals. This could be a big swing week with the Burrow Boyd stack or JD3 having Chase. The D.J. Moore and Terry McLaurin head-to-head will also be interesting as these two fight for the “WR who should be better than they are” title. JD3 is without Miles Sanders and Stefon Diggs. Right now JD3 is a 1 point favorite, this will be interesting, we will let the game play out and see how it plays out on Tuesday.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 7 Prescription
Green Bay Packers @ Washington Commanders (+5)
The Packers are in an identity crisis. They’ve lost back-to-back games as a touchdown favorite and are now laying 5 on the road? Taylor Heinicke once covered the spread in a playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs went on to win the Super Bowl. This cover should be easier than that one.
Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys u48.5
The Lions can score with the best of them, unless they play a good defense. Dallas has arguably the best defense in the league, giving up 19 points or less in 5 of their 6 games. Expect Dallas to not go away from what has worked since Dak’s injury. Dallas will run the ball, control the clock, and take a few from the Lions.
Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans (-2.5)
The doc gave you the Titans a few weeks ago in Indy. They won outright. The Colts offense has looked a lot better since Jonathan Taylor’s injury putting the ball in Matt Ryan’s hands. However, we’ve already seen this movie before. Trust Mike Vrabel off a bye to get the win and the cover as the Titans hit week 8 in first place of the AFC South and no one knows how.
Last week: 1-2
Season: 7-11
And now for an all-new power rankings.
What a whirlwind of a power rankings. Things are restored, Bottom Bunk and Batman have followed up bad weeks with worse weeks and are ranked further down than a guy that can’t even set his lineup. CrossFit and PeePaw will settle the score this week in their matchup. Pistol sneaks in the top of the rankings to match the app.
That does it for this week. We have a couple juicy matchups. Things should get interesting. I hope things work out for everyone and that you and yours have a better tomorrow. Enjoy the weekend and hope you win all your matchups.
Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 6 Recap. We’ve entered the bye week and it showed this week. We have some more low scoring teams. We will run through the game of the week, matchups, and see how Dr. Tilt ended up.
Game of the week.
v.
JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. CrossFit
JD3 was up against it and needed his playmakers to show up. JD3 has a deadly group of WRs. Chase put up 29, Diggs, had 26, and Pittman had 20. That’s a good group of points. JD3 also found help across the board at RB. Sanders had 14, Sing had 13, and Etienne had 12. Needed in this big week was a solid performance from the QB position, and Mahomes did enough with 30, despite 2 picks. CrossFit was coming off his best week, the league’s best performance, and just needed a win to help put him in a good spot going forward. CMC had 19, Barkley had 17, Amari Cooper added 12, Kelce added 15, and Ertz had 15. We headed into Monday night with JD3 having a 30 some point lead with Big Ev versus Austin Ekeler. Ekeler is coming off of two 30 point games. This is not out of reach yet, and I just know JD3 was screaming at his TV for people to tackle Ekeler. JD3 hears voices in his head they talk to him they understand, they talk to him. And the voices worked out. Big Ev didn’t do much but more importantly Ekeler “only” put up 19. JD3 wins a big game and replaces CrossFit as the lead dog this week 160.4 to 138.45.
v.
Mush’s Mongrel v. Pistol
Mush is cursed. Maybe it’s because there is no trophy for the league yet. Maybe it’s because of his moral compass. Maybe he just straight up stinks. Either way, it’s not good for Mush. Geno stream start for big Faab Dollars put up 17. Ken Walker had 18, D-Hendy had 12, and Deebo added 13. Taysom did nothing with 5 and Gesicki went off on the bench for 22, oh and Dawson Knox had 11. Knox coming off an injury would not have been started no matter what anyone says. Benching Gesicki cost Mush the game by a half a point. The curse for Mush was that Hollywood Brown will miss significant time with a lower leg injury. Mush needs Hollywood, but the stars don’t live like the rest of us. Pistol traded one of his best young players for Javonte Williams to strategically lose some games for his top end pick. He forgot to tell his team that. Deon Jackson put up 23 for the Colts in the absence of JT. Lazard had 16 and A.J. Brown put up 15. Kyle Pitts got his first TD with 9 and the other TE, Broadway Bob, put up 14. We went into Monday night with Pistol hanging onto a 20 some point lead. Mush had Mike Wil and Pistol had Sutton. Neither did nothing much, Pistol hangs on 117.2 to 100.65.
v.
Daddy Wombat v. Teach
D.W. needed a win bad. D.W. got another nice week from Kamara with 15, Claypool made a splash with 20, Gabe Davis put up 15, but the rest of the guys did very little. Metcalf had 4 points, and Higbee and Trautman combined for 2 points. Not a great week, but D.W. gets D-Hop back this next week. He could be a good piece moving forward, forward as in trading for picks or young guys. Teach did something that I don’t know if we have seen. The app we use grades the manager based on their optimum score. Teach graded out perfect this week. Tyreek lead the way with 24, Rhamondre followed up with 23, Mixon had 15, Waddle had 14, and Pierce added 12. Pretty solid week across the board. In order to put up a perfect coaching grade, that just means your bench can’t do much, they didn’t. With the bye weeks upon us, that may lead to some issues down the road. Teach pulls one out 138.6 to 103.75.
v.
PeePaw v. Batman
We will run through this one quick. PeePaw had 24 from Aiyuk, Cook put up 15, Justin Jefferson added 14, and Lamb had 10. Batman has a guy every week get hurt as soon as the opening kick happens. Not that it would have mattered, but she was still a tight game. Juju and MVS combined for 20 points. DeVonta Smith had 13. Joshua Kelley was the injured player that put up nothing. Batman is in trouble, he has no Robin, no Alfred, no Catwoman, no bankroll, no nothing. PeePaw wins a snoozer 106.44 to 98.2.
v.
Trashman v. Bruce
Over the weekend the group chat mentioned certain players on certain teams that were ruled out. One manager already made arrangements to take their guy out, and that line of thinking is probably why one manager has been successful in this league and others have had a more difficult time. Trashman started Cam Akers and Christian Watson. Both were ruled out way in advance. Mark Andrews had 20 and A-Rob had 15. Bruce got lucky there, but still put up a great week and would have beat a lot of teams. I guess when you save your points from the two weeks prior you are due. Joey B put up 44, Fournette had 19, Zeke had 15, Hunter Henry had 14, Godwin with 13, Najee added 12, and even Tyler Boyd put up 10. Bruce wins this on 149.2 to 93.15.
v.
Touchdown Guy v. Bottom Bunk
TDG probably had his toughest week with the byes and injuries. Thank goodness it was against Bottom Bunk. Josh Allen is very tall and added 28. Theilen showed up for 14, Kupp put up 13, and Kittle added 12. B.B. had Breece with 19 and Skowronek from the Rams with 14. B.B. has to be the worst team across all dynasty leagues and teams. TDG wins this one 118.15 to 89.7.

Week : 1-2
Season: 7-11
Well it was not a super exciting week, we had some good matchups and some real low scores. We will see how next week looks tomorrow, mix in some hopefully better picks from Dr. Tilt, and a new power rankings. Until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 6 Preview. The game of the week, matchups, and new Power Rankings. We got a pretty tight race across the board.
Game of the week.
v.
JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. CrossFit
Fresh off of the biggest week in PCDL history it is only right that we put CrossFit in the primetime game. Can JD3 take down Goliath? JD3 has to win the QB matchup of Mahomes over Brady. JD3 needs Diggs and Chase to win the week. CrossFit is going with Amari Cooper and Tyler Lockett. If you mix in the rest of the WRs, JD3 has McLaurin, Pittman, and maybe Keenan Allen. CrossFit has Duvernay and Zach Ertz. The RB matchup is where things favor CrossFit. CrossFit has CMC, Ekeler, Barkley, and Mostert. JD3 is going with Sanders, Hunt, and Etienne. CrossFit has Travis Kelce too, JD3 has big Ev. CrossFit is a 21 point favorite, it is tough for anyone to beat CrossFit right now, we just have to see how many points CrossFit scores.
v.
Mush’s Mongrel v. Pistol
Mush is going with Clyde Frog, Dobbins, and Mel Gordon. Hollywood is going to enjoy his last week as the clear WR1 for the Cardinals. We will see if Pistol’s QB Kyler Murray throws him the ball. Mush has Diontae, Deebo, and Taysom Hill. Mush’s kicker is on bye and is where he’s got a lot of points. Pistol has the new RB1 for Seattle in Kenneth Walker. Pistol is hoping that Sutton continues to do well. Pistol has Lazard and A.J. Brown. Pistol is also rocking Garrett Wilson, Pitts, and Tonyan. Pistol traded Kenneth Walker for Javonte Williams. These two managers did a little swapsies right before their matchup. Pistol was sick of winning, he now is in a pretty good spot to be the #1 pick. Javonte is the “better” back if fully healthy, so this should be a good trade for Pistol. Mush on the other hand is going in for this season. Mush is currently in the six spot and by looking at the landscape of the league, he’s got a real good shot at being the 5 or 6 seed. We will see how it all pans out for these two, tune into next years blog to see how this shakes out for Pistol. Pistol was a 4 point favorite, now he is a 14 point dog. I’m still going with Pistol for the laughs.
v.
Daddy Wombat v. Teach
Daddy Wombat takes on the unbeaten Teach. How long until Teach’s luck runs out. D.W. is without Dameon Pierce this week. This will likely force their hand to play Rondale Moore. Kamara is hot off of a big week. James Robinson might be losing his job (hopefully), Metcalf, Jeudy, Gabe Davis, oh my. The biggest bust for D.W. is Chase Claypool, what is that guy doing? Teach has Mixon, Rhamondre Stevenson, Tyreek, Waddle, and Romeo Doubs. Right now, D.W. is a 1 point favorite. This could be the upset of the century, I like these odds, give me D.W.
v.
PeePaw v. Batman
We have an elite QB matchup here, PeePaw has Herbert and Batman has Lamar. The RB and WR matchup heavily favors PeePaw. Cook, Monty, Jeff Will, Lamb, Jefferson, Mikey T, and McKenzie. Batman has DeVonta Smith and Jakobi Meyers. There is not a lot of hope for Batman in this one. I am just calling it like I see it. PeePaw is a 21 point favorite and I think he gets it done.
v.
Trashman v. Bruce
Trashman has Aaron Jones, Nick Chubb, Curtis Samuel, and Mark Andrews. That’s about it. Bruce has Fournette, Jonathan Taylor, and Godwin. Bruce also has guys that get a lot of touches that don’t produce in Zeke, Najee, and D.J. Moore. Those few extra guys will give him the bump and is why he is a 12 point favorite.
v.
Touchdown Guy v. Bottom Bunk
Touchdown Guy has a lot of people on bye, but the good news is that he is going up against the worst manager in the PCDL. TDG has the tall Josh Allen, the Commanders backfield, James Conner, Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp, Thielen, and Kittle. B.B. is without a QB possibly, or maybe Tua is back, or maybe Teddy is back. B.B. has Breece, Drake London, and Pickens. B.B. has two open roster spots. I do not know what he is doing other than losing this weeks matchup. TDG is going to be like 37 point favorite.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 6 Prescription
Washington Commanders (+1) @ Chicago Bears
Only a sicko would watch this TNF game. Well, let’s make it even more gross and bet on it. After all, it’s to save a man’s job considering Ron Rivera is likely fired if they lose this game, right? Kitchen sink game for the C-Words and Rivera throwing Wentz under the bus earlier this week has almost 70% of the money on the Chicago Bears. First year head coaches are 11-21 ATS on short weeks over the last few seasons.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-8) @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Dr. Tilt has given a handful of pro Steelers bets so far this season (probably explains some of the season record). Those bets were made on the institution. Well the institution might be dead. Now we have Cam Heyward “butt re-tweeting” coach and player slander, Jersey Jerry is a mess, just go read the comments of the Steelers Instagram post for TJ Watt’s birthday to understand the mental headspace this town is in right now. It’s likely to get uglier before it gets better with Tampa Bay’s defense coming to town. Expect the “Boo Birds” out quickly in this one.
Baltimore Ravens (-5.5) @ New York Giants
Yeah yeah, the doc gave you the Packers against the Giants last week and was wrong but also kind of right? That line didn’t make any sense. Nice win for the Giants but we’re getting a little too big for our britches with the contender talk for the Giants this week. Nice start, but coming straight off of a big win in London to chase Lamar Jackson around? Good luck.
Last week: 1-2
Season: 6-9 (nice)
And now for an all-new power rankings.
We have a lot of movement on the power rankings. CrossFit with the most points in league history is worthy of the top spot, but this means that other guys have to move down. Teach is undefeated and TDG is still the most points for. Those are the clear cut top guys. PeePaw moves up as he’s also in the mix. Batman was bad so he is at the bottom, Bottom Bunk is also bad. We had 4 teams under 100 points, I mean yikes. This is where we sit heading into Week 6.
Well that does it for now, I will see everyone tomorrow with the Recap. It is exciting time. We have 10 teams hovering around .500. Until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 5 Recap. A tail of two teams this weekend. Teams showed up and others put up nothing. We have people thinking about leaving the league they were so bad. I cannot blame those people, they absolutely stunk. We will talk about the Game of the week, the stinkers, the good ones, and Dr. Tilt. Let’s get it.
Game of the week.
v.
Daddy Wombat v. Trashman
D.W. does not recycle, they only take out the trash. Hurts is so good. Hurts put up a respectable 33 points. Dameon Pierce is everything you could have asked for in a rookie RB and somehow got 19 points for the Houston Texans?!?! Alvin Kamara is all the way back with 20. D.K. had 15 points but was outshined by Gabe Davis and his insane 31 points. Trashman never left the dump, missing 100 points on the weekend, in a game of the week, it’s almost inexcusable. Nick Chubb showed up with 25 and Mark Andrews added 19. Trashman also lost Rashaad Penny to a season ending injury. Trashman is going to have to find some answers here as we enter the bye weeks. D.W. Wins 158.55 to 96.1.
v.
Bottom Bunk v. Batman
If you thought Trashman was bad this week, let me introduce you to Bottom Bunk and Batman. Bottom Bunk started the week by losing Tua, spending FAAB on Teddy2Gloves, when he could have picked up any other QB for $0, and then loses Teddy before he registers a point. That is the bad news. The good news for B.B. is that he has a monster in Breece Hall who had 27, Pickens added 11, and Goedert had 14. Conklin had 0, Bourne had 1, Edmonds had 0.1, but Justin Tucker had 16. All this ended up with B.B. having 84.7 points and a 13.6 lead going into Monday Night. Batman had Waller and Juju going Monday Night. Batman had 14 from DeVonta Smith, 13 from Olave, and 12 from Njoku. Batman saw 0 from Devante Parker, 3 from Zay Jones, 3 from A.J. Dillon, 2 from Damien Harris, and needed help from Juju and Waller. Juju and Waller combined for 5 due to Waller’s hammy taking him out of the game after like 6 plays (6 plays is more points than Juju). B.B. pulls it out barely 84.7 to 75.9. This may be the worst matchup in PCDL history.
v.
Pistol v. Teach
While this matchup was not worse, it was very bad. Pistol got 24 from Kyler, 16 from Michael Carter, 10 from Sutton, 12 from Lazard, and saw a combined 2 points from Khalil Herbert and Nyheim Hines. Pistol did have Kenneth Walker and 15 points on the bench, the Seahawks new RB1 with Penny done for the year. Teach stunk out loud. Rodgers had 26, Mixon had 10, Stevenson had 19, Pollard had 15, Marvin Jones added 14, but he had Hockenson with 1 and Tee Higgins had 0. Looking at these numbers it shows Teach had just a couple more guys, and that’s all it took. Teach wins a nail bitter 109.5 to 87.8.
v.
Touchdown Guy v. Mush’s Mongrels
This was only a good matchup due to how bad Mush’s team is, some say. TDG rolling with the tall Josh Allen putting up 49. If Allen was allowed to throw in the second half this would have been ugly. D-Henry had 26, Evans had 10, and Kupp with 22. Big names got big points. Mush again may have a bad team. However, some of these bad players had big weeks. Mel had 12, Mike Will had 18, Deebo had 10, and Hollywood added 18. In a pinch, Mush went with Taysom Hill. Taysom had 39 points. TDG was down about 5 points heading into Monday night with Josh Jacobs going head-to-head with Clyde Frog and the Raiders kicker. Jacobs added 28 and the Mush duo added 21, with the majority coming from the kicker. TDG pulled it out 166.7 to 164.81. In a week where Taysom won a lot of matchups, Mush suffers a close loss despite having a top half point total.
v.
CrossFit v. Bruce
This one got out of hand. CrossFit was that dude this week and lead dog. Brady had 29, CMC 20, Ekeler with 34, Mostert with 19, Barkley with 18, Lockett with 25, Duvernay with 11. The bad was St. Brown and 4. Also, 17 kicker points doesn’t hurt. Bruce had 24 from Burrow, 31 from Fournette, 12 from some guy named Reynolds, and 10 from Evan Engram. Bruce saw Ezekiel Elliot outscore Najee Harris 8 to 5. Yikes. CrossFit entered the night with a chance at top score all-time in PCDL History, CrossFit had Travis Kelce on Monday night and my goodness did he go off. Kelce added 30. CrossFit wins 214.15 to 126.95. CrossFit reestablished himself as a force in the league and sets a new PR.
v.
PeePaw v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons
“This should be a great matchup and arguably should be the game of the week” were a bad choice of words for the preview. Dalvin won his matchup 25 to Hunts 13, Jeff Will won his matchup 20 to Sings 5, Monty won his matchup 16 to Sanders 7. Justin Jefferson edged out Diggs 25 to 20. I guess McLaurin with 10, Chase with 9, and Pittman with 8 won matchups of Lamb with 8, Westbrook-Ikhine with 8, and Aiyuk with 7. Not a lot of cushion there. Gerald Everett stunk, in part due to Herbert’s down week, Big Ev only got 1. PeePaw had Adams, so we will put him head to head with Brandin Cooks, Adams had 26 and Cooks had 4. PeePaw gets a big division win 171.95 to 127.9. JD3 like Mush, top half in points but takes the L. That will be the only time we compare JD3, who is above .500, to Mush who is not.

Game of the week.
v.
Daddy Wombat v. Trashman
This might be the closest matchup for D.W. all year, they deserve to be in the spotlight for this one. D.W. enters as a 2 point dog. D.W. has Jalen Hurts looking for a bounce back week and current QB5. James Rob is trying to stay a RB1 and should be traded from D.W. D.W. get the value while you can. Dameon Pierce is looking to cement his role as an every down guy for the Texans. D.K. is looking to empty the tank in a tough matchup against the Saints (he pooped during the game last week, empty the tank like his body). Jerry Jeudy and Tyler Higbee are the only other worthy mentions for D.W. Chase Clayp00l is down bad and should not be mentioned, so I won’t. Trashman is fresh off a loss. This is a must win. T-Law looked bad last week and cannot handle the rain. Aaron Jones, Nick Chubb, Cam Akers, and Rashaad Penny round out his ground game. Mark Andrews and Curty Sam are his best receiving options. It should be a tight one. I think D.W. puts their heads together and pulls this one out.
v.
Bottom Bunk v. Batman
Another tight one, but guaranteed to be low scoring. Waiver wire QB for B.B., Jamaal Williams, Breece Hall, Christian Kirk, and Drake London for B.B. Batman has Lamar, DeVonta Smith, Olave, and A.J. Dillon. We have about as many words in this preview as expected points between these two teams. Give me B.B. just because he is not starting multiple tight ends. With a QB and if Swift is healthy, I think Batman ends up being a 3 point favorite, but I’m still going B.B.
v.
Pistol v. Teach
Pistol is known for upsets, mainly because he’s always the underdog. Teach does not let dogs in the classroom. This could be a pounding (dogs, pounds, am I even good at this?). Pistol has Kyler fresh off a dub. Hines is looking for some points with the JT ankle injury. Michael Carter and Herbert may bot share a split backfield this week. Sutton, Lazard, A.J. Brown, Garrett Wilson, and Kyle Pitts. Pistol has a chance. Teach is rocking Rodgers, Mixon, Stevenson, Doubs, Higgins, Tony Pollard, and the ever so hot T.J. Hockenson. Let us not forget the dynamic duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, can Teddy2Tuds a piece this week? Give me Teach by a meter stick.
v.
Touchdown Guy v. Mush’s Mongrels
The lead dog looking to lead the dogs. TDG has Tall Josh Allen, D-Train, Jacobs, Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp, and George Kittle. All of these guys had big weeks except George Kittle. Kittle has to get it done for TDG, at least once the offs come around. Mush said his guys are available, but there’s not a lot there. Clyde, J.K. Mel, Mike Will, Hollywood, Diontae, and Deebo. We have a revenge game going on between Gibby and Mel. That should be fun to watch. TDG guaranteed production from Gibby is going down as Brian Robinson Jr. (on his IR) is designated to return, while things for Mel are looking up unless he keeps putting the ball down. TDG is a 27 point favorite. TDG takes the cake.
v.
CrossFit v. Bruce
CrossFit is looking to make a little run here. CrossFit has CMC, Ekeler, and Saquon all coming off big weeks. Mix in Amari Cooper, Tyler Lockett, Devin Duvernay, and Travis Kelce and we got a solid squad. Bruce has two players that are considered a 1 at their position, those players are Joe Burrow at QB7 and Jared Goff at QB4. Too bad this is not a superflex or TE premium league. CrossFit is a 13 point favorite and I think he gets it done.
v.
PeePaw v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons
This should be a great matchup and arguably should be the game of the week. Herbert v. Mahomes, Cook v. Sanders, Monty v. Hunt, J.J. v. Diggs, Lamb v. Chase, Adams v. Allen, Wilson and Aiyuk v. Pittman and Cooks. We have a pretty even matchup. Some of the heavier favorites tilt PeePaw’s way but the consistency across the board favors JD3. We will see if PeePaw gets the big plays and if JD3 can get his projections across the board. PeePaw is a 3 point favorite, and 2 of those points are from the kicker. This one is too close to call.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 5 Prescription
Dr. Tilt Week 5 was 1-2 Season: 5-7
New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers (-7.5)
Across the pond we go! The Green Bay Packers probably shouldn’t be favored by 8 points against anyone right now, let alone on a neutral site on a different continent. However, the Giants have zero fully healthy quarterbacks. All signs point to Daniel Jones playing but with all the travel and a bad hoof his best asset, running, is taken away. Packers will let this bloke throw the football which is a bad recipe, like an English Breakfast. Giants will struggle to score and we can debate if this classifies as a primetime game, but Aaron Rodgers bloody covers when his team is the only one on TV.
Atlanta Falcons (+9) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Cole Beasley retired and cited that he wants to be a full-time dad and husband. One week after being around Tom Brady, and everything he has going on? Yikes. Atlanta Keeps it close.
Seattle Seahawks (+5.5) @ New Orleans Saints
Know what’s Dangeruss? Saying the Seahawks offense looks a whole lot better than the Broncos. What’s also Dangeruss? Taking a public underdog. Be careful, it’s SPICCYYYYYY. Saints travel back from London off a double-doink loss and may struggle to get going. Seahawks keep it close. (Please sponsor Dr. Tilt and this blog Subway, k thanks.)
Last Week: 1-2
Season: 5-7
And now for an all new power rankings.
Teach remains at the top, TDG remains second, Batman’s 9 bench points give him the slight edge at the bottom. PeePaw is slowly coming back, B.B. is slowly going back, down.
If you made it this far or just skipped to the end we have the biggest controversy in PCDL history. A team went from worst to second first and is now worst (in their division). Said manager claims “my rbs available” post to trading block the requirements to meet said trade. Three teams approach said manager. First manager is out despite having what looks like a top 4 pick. Ok, no big deal, still two heavy hitters with assets left. Both teams make an offer, one was Team A offered a First, a starting WR, and a starting RB for his team, the other 2 Firsts and a bench WR for his team, Team B. The trading block had a top dynasty RB, Jonathan Taylor, for 3 firsts or 2 firsts and a WR. Team A was informed that Team B sent 2 Firsts and a WR and that the trading team needed 2 Firsts rather than the 2 players offered. Team A met with his team to address the trade rumors, shared a moment and sent the trade that the Trading Team wanted. Trading Team did not want two players, Trading Team wanted 2 firsts and a WR. Team B ends up sending 2 Firsts and a pinch start/fringe start based on situation. Team A, having already sent the trade asked for receives a text from the Trading Team “Not close on calculator” then “Your picks are gona (spell much) be late 1st and I don’t even want [said fringe start RB]”. Team A asks who is [said fringe RB], knowing that the Trading Team was trying to leverage his offer behind his back, Team A took rescinded the offer. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush they say. Surely after realizing this asinine move, you would think the Trading Team would provide a little explanation. The follow up was “I’m basically hanging you (this may be a threat so I am not changing the spelling) the top dynasty RB for two late round 1st”. I did not look too far into it but everything I know, and every player I know involved in the trade, the player from Team A is a WR2 in any Dynasty Chart. So to say that the trade was for basically 2 firsts is insulting. Trading Team then goes on to call WR2 on all dynasty charts a scrub. The trading team having 3 other WR 2s on his team, it makes you question his definition of a scrub. Then the trading team goes on to say all the trade offers sucked. The Trading Team lied before the first dynasty draft about the player he was taking, the Trading Team drafted an Undrafted Rookie WR in the second round of this year’s rookie draft, and now the Trading Team is asking for an exact trade and then saying it is not enough. This is an all-time bad move for any manager to burn bridges, let alone burn a bride with arguably the deepest team in the league. For privacy purposes I will only share the names of two managers. The Trading Team Manager was Bruce. Team A was JonnyDIII. Bruce Flores asked for the exact trade from JD3 that JD3 sent to Bruce Flores. Then Bruce Flores tried upping his trade offer from a team that wasn’t already trying to spend up. Bruce Flores has been back pedaling ever since. Bruce Flores would not share the website he was using for his trade calculator. Bruce Flores claimed the trade was trash. Bruce Flores eventually disclosed the trade calculator, fair trade. Accuses JD3 of tanking in a year where if JD3 was tanking he could not tank hard enough because Bruce Flores finished dead last in a year he was trying to win. Bruce Flores went on to call JD3’s player trash. Bruce went on to say no one made his trade demands. JD3 offered 2 firsts and a starting WR on everyone’s roster. Bruce Flores claimed said player would not start for him. Bruce Flores is in 11th place. Bruce Flores has two starting WRs worse than JD3’s WR in his starting lineup and another guy that will be replaced once the team’s rookie WR is healthy. JD3 never even received a counter offer in the app from Bruce Flores. I know what you are all probably thinking by now, Flores wasn’t the one to send the text, well Bruce is along way from being B.B. and Flores was run out of the league, just like Bruce is about to be with bonehead moves like this. Bruce has 5 tight ends on his roster, but cannot find room for a Dynasty WR2. Bruce has been rumored to be on the no-trade list of multiple managers in the league. These managers share their belief that they would rather have honesty and unreasonableness like that of Pistol rather than unreasonableness and dishonesty from Bruce. If a man cannot keep his word than what kind of man is he. I was able to catch up with JD3, after a few hour conversation I think this quote sums it up. “The ability to lie, paired with unaccountability, has made a near infinite amount of liabilities, and Bruce’s team, in the short and the long, has a lot of liabilities.” Powerful stuff. We will see how it pans out for each team going forward. For Bruce and his RB value, Saquon the current RB1, through 4 weeks has the lowest RB1 total through 4 weeks since 1997. Looks like RBs are going down faster than Bruce’s playoff hopes.
Well, that was an exciting story to start off Week 5. Hopefully you have better people in your league and until next time I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 4 Recap. We are not wasting time because I have a juicy write up for tomorrow. We look at the game of the week, matchups, and Dr. Tilt. Can Teach stay a 4.0?
Game of the week.
v.
Teach v. Batman
I was able to catch a quick word from Teach during the closing seconds of this weeks matchup, “Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love Romeo Doubs.” Teach was in his bag. A-Rodg was ok with a quarter, Mixon added 15, Tyreek and Waddle combined for 26, Higgins added 22, and America’s sweetheart Romeo Doubs had 11. Teach does have some homework, Tony Pollard only added a point and Freshman Treylon Burks only added 3. BUT, the story of the weekend was Jared Goff hocking it deep to T.J. Hockenson all weekend, Hock had 36 points. Batman did not disappoint either. Scotty Pippen was Robin to MJ’s Batman, and Batman did his best MJ impression by going back to back with starting a player who did not take a snap on Sunday. This weekend it was Zay Jones, while Devante Parker, who did not have to compete with Jakobi Meyers, sat on his bench with 9. Those 9 points mean something (I do not know how to make this a riddle, like the Riddler, get it? He’s Batman, Riddler from Batman, he’s a character from Batman, I’m not just stalling in hopes that you stop reading because Batman was so bad this weekend, I’m not). Batman had three players score more than 10 points this week, Lamar with 19, Chis Olave with 15, and Jahan Dotson with 12. Teach won by more than 9, 157.95 to 89.
v.
PeePaw v. Mush’s Mongrel’s
PeePaw has to feel happy with his team this week. He got production from almost everyone. I am being picky with Dalvin “underperforming” with 10. Herb got 31, Lamb with 19, JJ with 26, Davante with 15, and Isaiah McKenzie added 12. We saw the PeePaw of old, he’s also old, see logo. Mush is on his last leg. His whole team is available for trade. His biggest problem will be trading any of these guys. Mush is down so bad he had Mariota at the helm for 6. No better time for a breakout week for J.K. he had 20. Mike Will had 16 in hopefully his last week without Keenan. Hollywood added 18 and Corey Davis, former first round NFL Pick, added 16. Unfortunately, it looks like Mush will be without Javonte the rest of the way as he suffered a likely season ending knee injury. Best of luck to his recovery. Deebo added 21, but it was not enough. PeePaw marches on 147.64 to 124.05.
v.
Pistol v. Bruce
Insert poop emoji. Insert gif of old man being robbed near his car call an ambulance but not for me. Pistol is old man, Bruce is robber. Pistol is heating up. His guys just get it done. Murray had 31, Khalil Herbert had 11, Sutton had 14, Lazard with 15, and A.J. Brown added 12. Pistol may fall out of the top 3 for picks if he keeps this up. Bruce is in shambles. A historic rise from season 1 to season 2, and an absolute avalanche from season 2 to season 3. Burrow had 29 and Fournette added 15. Bruce’s TE’s not on his taxi had 9 points. His taxi tight end had 11. Tough week for Bruce, and the future is not bright. Pistol wins 111.85 to 97.9.
v.
Touchdown Guy v. Daddy Wombat
TDG has Tall Josh Allen with 30, D-Henry 22, Josh Jacobs with 32, Bob Woods with 11, Thielen with 11, Mike Evans with a monstrous 26, Kupp with 19, and the kicker with 17. TDG just missed 200 points. Daddy Wombat needs to trade people. Hurts had 20 and Dameon Pierce had 23. Those two should be untouchable. D.K. had 18, Jeudy had 13, and Claypool put up a goose egg. D.W. is down bad. TDG crushes D.W. 188.85 to 106.8. TDG also lead dog.
v.
CrossFit v. Bottom Bunk
CrossFit finally got production from his RBs. Saquon with 17, it gets better, CMC with 21, it gets better, and Austin Ekeler with 32. Lockett added 11 and Ertz put up 14. CrossFit has some heavy hitters that need to keep his team in the loop. He still has some weaknesses in WR depth that need answers, with Robbie Anderson and Amari Coopers up and down year. Bottom Bunk managed to score 100 points with Tua putting up 4 points before suffering an injury. B.B. had Jamaal Williams with 23, Breece with 15, and Pickens with 13. B.B. will need to look at the waiver wire to see who his QB will be next week. CrossFit wins 146.3 to 108.5.
v.
JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Trashman
JD3 is incredibly thick, but he needs his stars to show up more. Miles Sanders went off for 29, Sing rose from the dead to manage 10, Chase had 10, Cooks added 15, and big Gerald Everett added 15. The good news is bench player Darnell Mooney had 11, so at least things are looking up for spot starts and hopefully Keenan comes back. Trashman had highs and lows. Richie James had -0.1 points. Rashaan Penny had 28, Chubb had 20, and Aaron Jones had 13. T-Law really lost the week with 13 points. A situation to watch is Tyler Allgeier, he had 11 points. He may be a sneaky play or at least possible future for the Falcons backfield. JD3 gets a big win 145.35 to 105.4.

Buffalo Bills @ Baltimore Ravens o51.5
Nope.
Dr. Tilt Week 4: 1-2 Season: 5-7
I will see you tomorrow with an all new and beautiful power rankings. We will have a lot of shifting in these early weeks. Early reports as the #1 spot is the only spot locked in right now, everything else is up for grabs. Until next time I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow. BUT before we sign off, tomorrow will announce the biggest scandal in the history of the PCDL. This manager could not be trusted since the inception of the PCDL and only confirmed the absolute scoundrel that this manager is. Tune in to tomorrow’s article to see exactly how it went down. We have comments from multiple sources and I had an extensive conversation with one of the managers involved in the heinous acts of the other manager.
Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 4 Preview. We have a special spotlight game for our 1 undefeated team and a team that thinks they are better than they are. We look at other matchups and even take a peek at Dr. Tilt who is hoping to sneak above .500. Let’s get it, and please, let’s all pray for points.
Game of the week.
v.
Teach v. Batman
Teach is the sole unbeaten team and he is relying on players that are yet to see a loss. Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill are two of the best WRs in fantasy football. Teach also has the best rookie WR in Romeo Doubs. If he has another 8 catch week from Aaron Rodgers, Bezos ain’t got a rocket ship that can reach this man. He a bad man. Anyone saying they thought this would happen, I encourage you to say back “Cap-u-let him fall to the late second round, you didn’t want him.” The Capulets were Juliet’s family, and they did not want Romeo. I had to explain that for Bottom Bunk. Teach has a few questions at RB with Mixon being injured and Stevenson’s inconsistency. But that is not nearly as big of a question as whatever is going on with Batman. D’Andre Swift is injured and “what’s done can’t be undone.” “No legacy is so rich as honesty” and honestly Batman’s backs are not looking good. He has A.J. Dillon and Eno Benjamin. Batman is coming off a hot week with Devonta Smith, “thou she be but little, she is fierce.” The difference maker for Batman has been Lamar Jackson “all that glisters is not gold” unless it is Lamar because he has been a rock star so far in fantasy. Teach is about an 19 point favorite “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown”, I think Teach remains uneasy another week.
v.
PeePaw v. Mush’s Mongrel’s
Mush is playing PeePaw who just suffered injuries to Cook and Monty. I will not hold my tongue. Mush is a naughty boy who deserves to be punished. I hope PeePaw does just that. PeePaw still has Jeff Wil, Ceedee, Davante, Mikey T, and hopefully Justin Jefferson shows up. Mush has Javonte, Clyde, J.K., Mike Will, Hollywood, Deebo, and Dionte. Right now PeePaw is a 15 point favorite, but I think Mush gets it done when he adjusts his lineups after kickoff.
v.
Pistol v. Bruce
These teams stink. One team knows it and is waiting for the draft. One team is oblivious and is going to fail miserably again. Pistol has Kyler, Kahlil Herb, Sutton, A.J. Brown, Garrett Wilson, and Pitts. Bruce has JT, Najee, D.J. Moore, and Fournette. Bruce is a 18point favorite but I’ll believe it when I see it, Pistol in the upset.
v.
Touchdown Guy v. Daddy Wombat
Both teams are coming off their first wins of the season. TDG was lead dog last week and is the projected lead dog this week. I don’t think we need to spend a lot of time on this one. TDG is a 17 point favorite, the only question you should be asking is why is D.W. projected so many points? TDG has Josh Allen, D. Henry, Gibby, Conner, Jacobs, Thielen, Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp, Bob Woods, and Kittle. D.W. has Hurts, Kamara, James Rob, Dameon Pierce, Gabe Davis, Metcalf, Jeudy, Claypool, and two tight ends, yuck. Give me TDG in a landslide.
v.
CrossFit v. Bottom Bunk
CrossFit is a 21 point favorite. CrossFit will be more of a favorite when he pulls Flacco from his lineup, about a 47 point favorite. CMC, Ekeler, Barkley, Amari, Lockett, St. Brown, and Kelce. B.B. has Breece, Edmonds, Kirk, London, and Kendrick Bourne? I mean let’s be real here, this one is already over. CrossFit by 50.
v.
JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Trashman
This is for first place of the division. Here we have a couple head to heads in Hunt v. Chubb and McLaurin v. Samuel. These could really swing the game. Other pairs are Miles Sanders v. Aaron Jones. JD3 should have a slight QB advantage with Mahomes over T-Law, WR advantage with Diggs, Pittman, Allen, and Chase against A-Rob, Juice, and Richie James. RB should go to Trashman with Cordarrelle tipping the scales. Another heavy hitter is the TE position that Trashman has Mark Andrews and JD3 has the streaky Everett. This should be a good one, JD3 is a 16 point favorite at the moment.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 4 Prescription
New York Jets @ Pittsburgh Steelers -3
Upon news of Zach Wilson making his season debut, ticket sales to suburban mothers have skyrocketed to 28% of all tickets. Now I know what you’re thinking, betting on Mitch Trubisky is a dicey proposition but fading the New York Jets cancels that out. This is a bet on the institution. Mike Tomlin is 43-32 ATS off a loss and gets extra time to prepare. Mothers be damned, Trubisky is the one kissin’ titties this week.
Tennessee Titans +3.5 @ Indianapolis Colts
The Colts and Titans both got a much-needed win in week 2. The winner of this AFC South matchup in week 4 likely is the betting favorite in the clubhouse for the division. If you look under the hood however, the Colts were gifted 4 special teams miscues from the Chiefs. The doc likes the hook here in a divisional matchup in what should be a low scoring affair. Fade the public perception that is “Colts beat the Chiefs and have righted the ship”.
Buffalo Bills @ Baltimore Ravens o51.5
Only two teams have scored more points than the Buffalo Bills. The Detroit Lions and the Baltimore Ravens. 51.5 is the highest o/u on the card this week but due to the unders being a historic 30-18 to start the season, this number is suppressed. The Ravens and Bills through 3 weeks are combining for 64 points per game and the conversation all week has been around Lamar’s decision to bet on himself with his contract. Don’t expect him to slow down now and expect the Bills offense to bounce back after a rough scoring day in the Miami heat. It’s a shame this game is hidden in the early slate of games but don’t worry, it’ll be living on the red zone channel the entirety of the early afternoon. The doc expects a track meet.
Dr. Tilt Last Week: 2-1 Season: 4-5
That does it for this week. Hope we have a fun week of some football. We are getting more football weather. I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
