Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 9 Recap

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 9 Recap. This week, unfortunately, most of the games were decided after Sunday. Monday was a drag for everyone. We will check out our game of the week, matchups, and Dr. Tilt. BIG TIME ANNOUNCEMENT, our projected playoff teams have changed. One team has fallen off the face of the earth these last two weeks. Not a good look. Let’s dive into the game of the week.

Game of the Week

CrossFit v. Bruce

This game just absolutely rattled the power rankings. CrossFit was the team to beat. He just got CMC back, kind of. Dak came out and put up a respectable 27, CMC added a dozen, Kupp put on 15, and Travis Kelce sipped out of the same kupp for 15. The big issues were Mike Davis putting up just 2.3 points. Amari Cooper only put up 4.7 as well. Bruce smelled blood in the water. Thursday night he came out swinging with JT putting up a monster 3 3points. It was much needed as his team was not great across the board. Zeke had 11, Renfrow put up 15, and Devontae Booker put up 13. Burrow only had 13 and Boyd had 1. However, it was enough, Najee put up 15 points, but it was over on Sunday. Bruce won 133.7 to 116.5.

Daddy Wombats v. PeePaw

It’s important to remember that sometimes 1 win does not mean you are back. I say this as a reminder so teams do not get their hopes up. D.W. had a lot of byes and injuries. Metcalf bye, Damien Williams out, James Rob out, D-Hop out, Will Fuller IR, and Gio Bernard bye. Kamara had 18 that is the only individual I’ll highlight. Gabe Davis and Byron Pringle combined for 0 points. PeePaw sold his soul to the devil. J-Herbs put up a 42 point week. Dalvin, baker’s dozen, Aiyuk in a bounce back put up 19, Jefferson had 15, and Ty Johnson put up a crooked 11 points on Thursday Night. This game was over before it started, PeePaw wins 129.1 to 91.88.

Batman v. Bottom Bunk

Are you sitting down? Please sit down, the following information is about to shock you. This matchup contained our lead dog. Batman was out there cleaning up the streets while B.B. slept in. Lamar for 42, Gaskin for 12, Elijah Mitchell for 10, DeVonta Smith for 20, Darren Waller for 12, and of course, you guessed it, Deonte Harris put up 15 points. B.B. saw 9 points from his $120 waiver AP, 13 points from Christian Kirk, and a combined 1.3 from Chase Edmonds and Mohamed Sanu. I think this was Sanu’s first start in the PCDL this year. It did not disappoint. Maybe, B.B. left some points on his bench, and he did. Chase Edmonds 0.3 points was more than doubled up by Alexander Mattison’s 0.8 points. Also, Younghoe Koo added 9 points from the bench. Everyone else was out/bye/did not play. Batman was lead dog, winning 144.14 to 92.92.

Trashman v. Teach

Trashman saw his opportunity and took it. Carson Wentz in the start put up 35. Nick Chubb had 29, Cordarrelle added 19, and Evan Engram is all the way back putting up 11 points. Teach did not ace his test, a 95 is great on a test, but not when it’s out of 131. Teach hitting 72% of his projection is a failure. Mixon wanted it with 25 and so did rookie Waddle with 14. The rest of the team skipped class. Teach flunked out of the playoff projections. Trashman is separating himself from the rest of the pack and now sneaks into the playoff push. Trashman wins 128.9 to 95.64.

Touchdown Guy v. Mush’s Mongrels

This was an important game for playoff standings. TDG needed this to stay at the top, Mush needed it to get in the bye mix. Who came out on top? TDG made a trade earlier in the year for Bob Woods and James Conner. Everyone was ok with Bob Woods. The interesting part was James Conner, someone who the league almost gave up on. J.C. has been having a day with his second coming on the Cards, he scored 3 tds and put up 38 points, making us all believers. Melly Gods loves tds, he got 16 points. Bob Woods and Kittle combined for 31 points. Josh Allen was the only bad play, he had 15. Mush needed a miracle. However, his water stayed water. Javonte Williams had 111 yards, but no TDs or receptions giving him 11.1 points. Jacobs bested Williams with 11.5, Boston Scott stunk it up for 4 points, and Hollywood Brown lit it up for 16. Mush went against the #2 scoring team of the week, and it cost him. TDG wins 142.5 to 109.78.

Pistol v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons

This would have been a good Orange Bowl, because these teams were talking juice. Pistol thinking he’s hot from an earlier win. JD3 has a target on his back because of his backs. They stink, people love to make fun of how bad his RBs are. Pistol was without a QB, so he was able to move from his taxi the former 21^st pick Jordan Love. Love outperformed JD3’s QB Mahomes. Singletary outscored Michael Carter. Brandin Cooks beat Sutton. Pittman outscored Tre’Quan Smith. A.J. Brown outscored Ja’Marr Chase. Diggs beat Cobb. Keenan Allen beat Kadarius Toney. Dan Arnold beat Pitts. McPhearson made an extra point and field goal to beat Greg the Leg. Hines beat Mooney. Drake beat Herbert. It was the bigger plays by JD3’s WRs that got it done. JD3 wins 122.9 to 84.8.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt.

Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 9 Preview

Good morning everyone, we have the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 9 Preview. We are getting there. It’s amazing to think the NFL fantasy football season is half way over. I spent most of the season typing away, waiting for the words to appear on my screen only to see typos and have to go back and edit. But not anymore, this new computer is something else. I do not understand how a lot of things work, but how computers slow down, cell phones batteries run out, and how our body just breathes on its own are all things I’ll never understand. One thing I do know is that these Week 9 matchups are the same as the Week 5 matchups. This will end our “rematches”. The teams have changed, whether through trades or injury. One team who has had a lot of injuries will be in our Game of the Week, the other is one of the hottest teams in the league. We will check out the Game of the Week, the other matchups, Dr. Tilt’s Week 9 picks, and the Week 9 Power Rankings. Let’s dive into the Game of the Week.

Game of the Week.

CrossFit v. Bruce

This game of the week is already filled with drama and excitement. Dak Prescott was out last week, I think he plays this week and gives CrossFit a QB this week. CrossFit has two solid QBs, but Brady is on bye. This is an all-time AGHHHH moment for CrossFit as he checks his lineup at 11:45 am making sure Dak is a go. CMC is still on IR. CMC and Joe Mixon last year just teased coming back. That is what a franchise that loves their RB does. CMC was involved in a Deshaun Watson trade talk, now he’s in a bubble? Make up your mind Carolina. Other starts, Amari Cooper Kupp, Kelce, Ertz, and Ekeler. Hot team. Bruce is hot. He has tore off six straight wins. One of those wins over CrossFit. Can Bruce pull of his best Cardi? If it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s stuck. Is Bruce stuck in a win streak? Zeke, JT, Najee, and Damien Harris all will put up at least average scores. Solid scores. Boom or bust guys, Renfrow, Bateman, and Emmanuel Sanders. Renfrow is an absolute play rest of season as he will receive all the targets after Waller. Right now, with Dak and CMC, CrossFit is a 12 point favorite, if Dak and CMC play I don’t think it matters, Bruce has a safer floor, Bruce gets it done.

Daddy Wombat v. PeePaw

Daddy Wombat won this week 5 matchup. Daddy Wombat will have some tough plays here with Metcalf on bye. James Rob will be a tough play too, hopefully for D.W. he’s healthy. Jeudy, Claypool, D. Hop, and Kamara, it sounds like a good play, but D.W. is looking at a 14 point dog. PeePaw has been bad as a dog or favorite. Guy cannot get it done. Dalvin, Davante, CeeDee, Justin Jefferson, and Aiyuk, are all good players. Why PeePaw can’t win makes no sense. I do not know what to say, PeePaw is a favorite and I think he gets it done and delays the inevitable of missing the playoffs.

Batman v. Bottom Bunk

Batman gets Lamar and Waller back. Jeremy McNichols is the guy? Maybe, either way he’s worth a play. Elijah Mitchell may be hurt. DeVante Parker is a sneaky play. We will see how Batman does, this is a game he must win. I do not think Batman can field a roster that won’t beat Bottom Bunk. It is insane how bad Bottom Bunk’s team is. B.B. has Tua, Edmonds, three benched qbs, two kickers rostered, and two open taxi spots. **Update, completed roster and a big spend on AP, who has no long term dynasty value when your team is in an obvious rebuild. Batman is a 30 point favorite, easy win.

Trashman v. Teach

Trashman has Aaron Jones, Zack Moss, Nick Chubb, Cordarrelle Patterson, A-Rob, Juice, and Mark Andrews. The WRs for Trashman are trash, the Rbs for Trashman are mans. During his union mandated breaks Trashman reads a Tale of Two Cities, or maybe it’s just his position groups. Teach is on the playoff bubble. This is a must win. Teach loses he’s on the outside looking in. Teach has Mixon, Pollard, Waddle, Tyreek, and D.J. Moore. D.J. Teach is starting Albert Okwuegbunam the TE 45 on the year. I hope he knows that the waiver wire has 12 TEs with better rankings than Okwuegbunam. Teach is a 16 point favorite, and he gets it done this week, even though I want him to lose.

Touchdown Guy v. Mush’s Mongrels

This was the Week 5 Game of the Week. TDG won. TDG needs two guys to be healthy. Saquon and George Kittle. Unfortunately, he’s likely to lose Saquon. He will NEED NEED Kittle. TDG has been having some RB luck with Melly and Conner. Will these guys keep getting TDs? Hopefully for TDG. Bob Woods, Adam Thielen, and Mike Williams should all have good weeks. I don’t know those guys just get it done. Mike Williams had to deal with the Pats taking him away. Big bounce back for Mike Williams. Mush is desperate for a win. Mush is going currently tied for his longest losing streak on the season. Mush has Darrell Hendy, Javonte, Boston Scott, and Josh Jacobs. He’s got some solid backend RB1 options. Hollywood Brown, Deebo, and Diontae Johnson, also solid backend WR1 options. Mush’s team is not one you want but all guys you’d love to have. I do not know how to explain it. TDG is a 3 point favorite and somehow the App is giving Mush a 52/48 odds to win. Give me TDG because the App is wrong.

Pistol v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons

Pistol has a lot of tough matchups this week. Kahlil Herbert, Michael Carter, and Brandon Bolden all go up against Defenses that hate RBs. Sutton has a golden matchup against Dallas and A.J. Brown should be alright. Kyle Pitts will be the Falcons #1 target going forward but at the same time he will be the defenses #1 target. JD3 has no RBs, they are hurt or the coaches just won’t play them. Arguably the worst RB situation in the league. I mean I have no clue how it got this bad and I know the guy managing the team. But my goodness, when his WRs click it is so beautiful. I’m talking sunrise on the lake beautiful. What a sneaky season by Pittman, just an insane rookie year by Chase. It’s the vets that aren’t pulling their weight. Keenan Allen and Stefon Diggs can go hamburger at any point. I won’t pick this one but JD3 is a 20 point favorite.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt.

Dr. Tilt Week 9 Picks

Again ***Please check your local, county, state, country, gaming, and other laws to see if gambling is allowed and available near you.

Here’s the Week 9 prescription from the Doc.

Broncos @ Cowboys -10

Patriots @ Panthers Under 41

Browns @ Bengals -2.5

Dr. Tilt is 10-15 on the Season.

Now for the Power Rankings

Three teams missed the 100 point mark, three teams at the bottom that STINK. Bruce is a win away from being Top Dog.

Well that does it for the Week 9 Preview. We are getting closer to locking up some playoff spots and some playoff eliminations. We have a couple weeks left for trades and will likely run out of waiver moves, I mean people can’t keep getting injured right? Hopefully no one does and hopefully you and yours don’t. Until next time I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!

Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 8 Recap

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 8 Recap. I have no clue what I’m typing as I semi “unplugged” from the fantasy football world this weekend. I used a long weekend to wake up before the sunrise and let the cool fall air fill my lungs to which my body would respond as if a pack of Marlboro Reds (not a sponsor) was my only friend. We will look at the game of the week, other matchups, and Dr. Tilt. Let’s get to it.

Game of the Week

Mush’s Mongrels v. CrossFit

Mush was on a heater to start the year. Some were starting to say he was the team to beat. CrossFit is known for his hot starts and then watches his team slowly fall apart due to injuries. This is one of those great matchups that you have no idea who will win until the final whistle blows. Mush made a trade couple weeks back for Darrell Henderson and got a monster 9 plus 10 equals 21 points from him. Boston Scott as a scoop and start ended with 18 points. Deebo had an early almost house call that would end in 20 points. Diontae Johnson continued his consistent year with a dozen. However, CrossFit won three matchups to put him over Mush. Ekeler matched Hendy’s 21. Lockett matched Deebo’s 20. Cooper Kupp got oppo of Diontae and ended with 21. CrossFit also had Cole Beasely add 16 to almost match Boston Scott. The big difference is Amari Cooper putting up double deuce, and OBJ adding a whole point. CrossFit wins 179.27 to 141.95.

Touchdown Guy v. Teach

Touchdown Guy needed a win in the worst way. He got a win, but at what cost. Derrick Henry, Fantasy Football legend, TD machine, 100 yard machine, big play save the day D-Henry, was injured and could be done for the season. Melly got 17, Darrel Williams had 14, James Connor had 14, Thielen with 16, Evans with 11, and Bob Woods added 19 points. This is the type of production everyone wants. Teach was outclassed in this matchup. Teach is now on the bubble of the playoffs. Teach had 23 from Mixon, 21 from Tyreek Hill, 13 from Hockenson, and 11 from Higgins. Teach actually had a decent week, but not a championship week. If Teach wants to compete with the big dogs he better start bulking up his roster. Why would a team in contention hang onto their first round pick when they are just one piece away? TDG wins 159.55 to 131.18.

Bottom Bunk v. Trashman

Bottom Bunk is the worst manager in the history of the PCDL. Starting two players who were out, trading a guy twice, and having two open taxi spots. I do not know what to say. B.B. ended with 85.79 points, no player worth mentioning. Even with a perfect roster, B.B. ends with 96.59. Trashman still wanted it to be a close game. Aaron Jones put up 20 and Cordarrelle Patterson added 16. Trashman has the biggest waiver pick up with Patterson and the biggest bust in Allen Robinson. Hopefully for Trashman Robinson is traded by the time you read this. Trashman wins 105.6 to 85.79.

Bruce v. Daddy Wombat

Bruce is all business. JT and Najee put up 19 a piece. Chris Godwin and Tyler Boyd had 19 and 17 respectively. Bruce did see a lack in production from Fournette with 5 and Emmanual Sanders with a goose egg. Bruce put up really decent numbers, his competition did not. Daddy Wombat made a trade for James Robinson. That resulted in a net loss of 3.4 points. James Rob got 4.4 and hurt. Kamara and Metcalf were the two bright spots. Kamara had 15 and Metcalf had 19. Bruce wins 145.85 to 90.77.

PeePaw v. Pistol

PeePaw is bad. Aiyuk had his second good game with 11 points. CeeDee Lamb added 14. That is all. Pistol is just a weird team. Michael Carter had 27, Tre’Quan Smith had 11, Cobb had 15, and A.J. Brown had 26. Pistol continues to stay as a mediocre team. Last year wanting to win, this year wanting to lose. Pistol is the team no one wants to play, in fact, Pistol probably doesn’t even want to play, Pistol wants to draft. Pistol wins 125.1 to 86.75.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Batman

This game came down to the wire. Well, not in the way you might think, but Monday night was important nonetheless. JD3 had a monster week from Michael Pittman Jr. with 25. Keenan Allen had 16, Chase 11, Cooks 17, and Diggs 12, to show that his WR core is solid. The RBs are terrible and will not be mentioned. Batman saw good weeks from Elijah Mitchell with 19, Chuba Hubbard with 13, and DeVante Parker with 12. The rest of the team was very quiet. Lamar and Waller both were on bye, and those two big names would have helped. JD3 wins 135.77 to 100.3. Monday night was important as Batman made it over the 100 point hump on a late Butker field goal.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt.

Dr. Tilt Week 8 Picks

Again ***Please check your local, county, state, country, gaming, and other laws to see if gambling is allowed and available near you.

Packers +6.5 @ Cardinals

Bang!

Bengals -10.5 @ Jets

Nope.

Patriots @ Chargers -5

Nope.

Week 8 1-2; Overall Record 10-15

Not a great look for Dr. Tilt.

We have a trade alert, Bottom Bunk has sent Calvin Ridley to PeePaw for a likely later first round and earlier second round pick.

Well that does it for Week 8. We do not have any teams locked into the playoffs, but we are two weeks away from a potential first team eliminated from playoff contention. I will not name names, but it has been a fall from grace for this franchise. Tomorrow we will dive into Week 9 and some power rankings. Until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!

Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 8 Preview

Good morning everyone, we have the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 8 Preview. We are over the hump and in the home stretch for playoff consideration. As of now the byes would go to Touchdown Guy and Mush, and Wild Card matchups between CrossFit and JonnyDIII, and Bruce and Teach. Teach and JD3 have a 1 game lead and points tie breaker separating themselves from the Consolation Teams. They have to hold their breath every week here on out until they get a two game lead. Let’s just say this is an important week. We will look at matchups, Dr. Tilt, and an all new power rankings. This week’s Game of the Week is important for deciding that first week playoff bye. Let’s get to it.

Game of the Week

Mush’s Mongrels v. CrossFit

This is an exciting matchup. We have two teams that are missing key players. Mush is missing Clyde and J.K. to the IR, as well as Knox with a broken hand, Josh Jacobs, Hollywood, and Ruggs to the bye. CrossFit is missing Mostert and CMC to IR. I think it’s pretty even. CrossFit got the week 2 win and is hoping to win this week to put him in that #2 spot in the standings. Mush is looking to remain a big #2. Mush has a lot of depth at RB so he can get by this week with all his missing RBs. Hendy and Javonte both have favorable matchups. Hendy plays Houston and Javonte has the Football Team. Mush has a lot of WRs that are all the same, Deebo is the one standout. Then you have Corey Davis, Diontae Johnson, and A.B. It is a good mix of guys. CrossFit misses CMC but has managed to stay relevant because everyone on his team is good. Ekeler has a tough matchup with the Pats, Kupp goes against the Texans, and Lockett has the Jags. These bad matchups will have to score to get CrossFit the bump he needs. CrossFit also has Amari and Travis Kelce. It looks like CrossFit will be a 14 point favorite. I have to chalk this one up to CrossFit, I think gets the W and jumps a spot in the standings.

Touchdown Guy v. Teach

Week 2 TDG won the Week 2 game of the Week over Teach. Teach is out for revenge. This is another important game. TDG has a one game lead on the comp, and 30 points on Mush. The rest of the league needs TDG to have a couple loses. Well, unless you are the 6 seed, you would like to see Teach lose to give yourself a game lead. TDG gets the Tall Josh Allen back. Derrick Henry is looking to bounce back from a “down week”. Mike Williams and Thielen are back from bye as well. The sneaky play will be how James Conner does against the Packers defense. The Packers defense has been good lately, but it’s still the Packers. Conner is sneaky good right now. Teach is looking to bounce back from an absolutely embarrassing loss. Teach has Mixon against the Jets, D.J. Moore against the Falcons, Hockenson against Philly, and Tyreek in prime time against the Giants. Every week we are waiting for the Chiefs get right game. What better time to do it, Monday Night in front of the whole world. Mahomes at the very least is sore from his head getting bent back last weekend. This only means that the skill guys will have to work a little harder. Hill can and will do just that. TDG is favored by 12 and I think (and hope because I am the 6^th seed) he wins it this week.

Bottom Bunk v. Trashman

We covered two really good matchups, now let’s look at two really bad teams in a close matchup. Bottom Bunk is bad. He has Chase Edmonds, Calvin Ridley, and Dallas Goedert. B.B. has roster issues and will struggle to have a legal roster. We will see. Trashman lost Chubb last week and I would guess Chubb is out another week. He does have the Browns RB1 with D’Ernest Johnson, or Chubb. Whoever goes Trashman has. Cordarrelle Patterson just scores tuds. The biggest issue for Trashman is Jarvis Landry and Allen Robinson, two WRs that use to be target machines now continually hurt his team. I’m guessing Trashman will be about a 10 point favorite come kickoff, I want B.B. to win, but I think Trashman takes it.

Bruce v. Daddy Wombat

Bruce is banging on the playoff steps. He wants to win this whole thing. Bruce is rocking Zeke, JT, Fournette, and Najee. He has Damien Harris on his bench. Team stacked up at RB. For WRs he has Chris Godwin and he’s hoping the bye week hasn’t stopped Emmanuel Sanders production. Hunter Henry is on a hot streak so Bruce is hoping that stays the same too. Daddy Wombat is fresh off a great win. The trio of Metcalf, Kamara, and D-Hop looks incredible. With D-Hops health up in the air for Thursday night, things could go South quick. D.W. has one of the best fantasy QBs out there. The problem is this guy stinks at actual football. I guess stinks is bad to say, he just can’t win games. But Jalen Hurts is QB5 and D.W. will need all of that for this matchup. Right now Bruce is a 12 point favorite, I think Bruce’s backs get it done.

PeePaw v. Pistol

PeePaw is still hanging onto one win. He has Dalvin Cook, Lamb, Jefferson, and EQ St. Brown in place of Adams. It is not looking good for PeePaw. I got nothing for him. The IR has killed PeePaw’s hopes. Pistol is actually kind of good. He’s the team you do not want to face. He’s a win on your calendar but you cannot take your eye off of it. Pistol has Murray, James Rob, Sutton, A.J. Brown, and Kyle Pitts. These guys have been playing better than expectations on the season. Well, at least since Pistol has had them. Pistol is a 4 point dog, but somehow the app has his win meter as more. I think Pistol gets it done and ruins his draft pick.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Batman

JD3 is rough. Everyone is hurt, but not hurt enough. Just enough to make you mad. If Sanders is out it means Gainwell is in, if they both in then JD3 hates himself. Keenan Allen has to close out the year strong. Terry, Cooks, Chase, Diggs, and Pittman, someone make a move. JD3 needs a win to stay in the playoff picture. Batman is fresh off a win. He is making a run at the title whether he likes it or not. Gaskin, Swift, Shenault, Smith, MVS, Mitchell, and Chuba is a weird group of guys, but they sneaky. These guys are just enough. Like any team, Batman just needs one guy to go off. JD3 is a 14 point favorite, but Batman loves being the underdog.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt.

Dr. Tilt Week 8 Picks

Again ***Please check your local, county, state, country, gaming, and other laws to see if gambling is allowed and available near you.

Here’s the Week 8 prescription from the Doc

Packers +6.5 @ Cardinals

I know what you’re all saying, “But Doc, Davante is out!!” Well the Packers are 6-0 over the last two seasons without him. The Cardinals are missing JJ Watt and Hopkins hasn’t practiced this week. Take the points in this one.

Bengals -10.5 @ Jets

Mike White is the starting QB for the Jets. That’s all you need to know.

Patriots @ Chargers -5

The Pats have yet to beat a good team this year. The Chargers are fresh off a bye and getting embarrassed by the Ravens. Look for them to win this one by a touchdown or more.

Now for the Power Rankings

PeePaw missed 100 points, he is last. TDG is #1 on the app, so he’s #1 here.

I’ve said it before, we are half way through the regular season. Right now you have a good idea of how many more wins you need to get through the week. If you are in the top half of the league, four wins is what you need. If you are a bottom half team, you might get by with four wins but you need some help. The last 7 games will be tight. We will see how they go. Until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!

Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 7 Recap

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 7 Recap. We made it half way through the season. It is going to be a photo finish. I think our 1 and 2 teams are set in stone. I think our 10-12 teams are set in stone as well. The separation between 3 to 9 is a game. Teams are bunched up around .500. Let’s take a look at who made it through starting with our Game of the Week.

Game of the Week

Bruce v. Touchdown Guy

Bruce loves the spotlight. His WR Chris Godwin put up 21 points. Renfrow snuck into double digits as well. The RBs are Bruce’s play, Damien Harris put up two dozen, JT had a sweet 16, so did Fournette, and Devontae Booke just got a lucky 13 too. The backs showed out. Bruce needs that week in and week out because his WR core is bad. Touchdown Guy has been great all year. He put up the 4th most points this week. Mike Evans outscored Godwin with 28, D-Train had 17, Bob Woods had 12, and James Conner joined him with 12. Waiver move of the week, TDG scooped Uzomah who went off for 22 points. The consistency of Bruce’s guys got it done. Bruce wins a big matchup, 167.3 to 145.3.

PeePaw v. CrossFit

Not a lot to say here. PeePaw got 16 from Adams and 12 from Agholor. CrossFit had 11 from Devonta Freeman, Ertz had 14, Kupp added 32, and Kelce added 10. I mentioned the good players. The bad players were so bad for PeePaw. Like the waiver wire was better across the board. CrossFit wins 129.75 to 77.7. This is not a typo, PeePaw only scored 77.7 points. And no, seven is not his favorite number. PeePaw rides with the Intimidator.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Trashman

Mush’s young guys are showing up. Hollywood added 16, Deebo with 20, and Corey Davis added 12. Gesicki is so good with Tua, he put up 18. The RBs were good too. Jacobs and Javonte both had 14 a piece. Trashman had the play of the week in D’Ernest Johnson putting up 24 points. But that was it for the week. Cordarrelle Patterson put up 14, and so did Kalif Raymond. When Kalif Raymond is one of your studs, that’s not great. It was not a great week for Trashman. Mush wins the rematch 158.7 to 113.37.

Bottom Bunk v. Pistol

This was originally projected to be the battle for last place. Turns out these teams can’t figure out how to lose. Bottom Bunk had a resurgence from Tua putting up 40. Calvin Ridley suited up and had 10, Goedert copied that amount, and Christian Kirk added 13. A lot of bad plays for B.B. that hurt him in the long run. Pistol can’t stop winning. A.J. Brown had an M.J., Kyle Pitts just missed 20 points, and Russell Gage and Robert Tonyan both decided to score and get 14 a piece. Pistol is in a rebuild but is finding himself right around that last playoff spot. Pistol wins 159.25 to 110.95.

Teach v. Batman

This was a big week for Teach. A win puts him in the driver’s seat for one of those top playoff seeds. Teach had no one breakout this week. Mixon, Waddle, and D.J. Moore all combined for 34 points. That’s about it. A lot of low scoring, just missing their projection plays this week for Teach. Batman does not want to win. He wants to protect his draft position. D’Andre Swift had a monster week with 24 points. Elijah Mitchell is back with 16. Lastly, Myles Gaskin had a late receiving TD to give him 16 points. These few guys getting just a little bit more than Teach’s guys was enough. Batman wins 122.91to 117.3.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Daddy Wombat

This was the leagues favorite matchup. JD3 suffered two big in game injuries to big name players. Mahomes got knocked out and Miles Sanders hurt his ankle. the only saving grace for JD3 is if Sanders is out Gainwell is a full go. The WRs had a solid week. Ja’Marr Chase had 30, McLaurin added 21, and Pittman put up 18. Daddy Wombat had some big scores to put them over the edge. Khalil Herbert put up 15. D-Hop put up 14. It was Monday night that put D.W. out front. Kamara and Metcalf combined for 45.5. Daddy Wombat wins 146.1 to 125.3.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt’s Week 7 picks.

Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 7 Preview

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 7 Preview. We are back with three consecutive weeks of rematches. The first three weeks are being replayed. This means NEW Games of the Week. We have some juicy matchups, but if you missed out on winning the game of the week in the first three weeks that’s a you problem baby. Let’s shine some light on the other managers of the league and get down with our bad selves. We look at the matchups, predictions, Dr. Tilt, and the all new Week 7 Power Rankings. Let’s dive into our Game of the Week.

Game of the Week

Bruce v. Touchdown Guy

Is this a sympathy move by me to put Bruce here because I didn’t move him a ton on the power rankings? I don’t know, the power rankings are way at the bottom and you’ll forget by the time you get there. Yes, Touchdown Guy has been in a lot of the games of the week, but we have to show Bruce some love. He is on a heater. Bruce’s team is made up of strong RBs. However, two of those guys, Zeke and Najee, are on bye. Bruce will have to lean heavily on JT and Fournette. The acquisition of Devontae Booker was a long play for Bruce, we will see if Saquon is out again. Either way, Saquon is always a tough start the week back from an injury for TDG. Bruce also has Godwin, Gronk, and Rashod Bateman who saw 6 targets in his first week in the NFL. TDG does not have the Tall Josh Allen, Adam Thielen, and Mike Williams. These three have been huge. TDG has Darrel Williams for the injured Clyde, who put up the best RB performance for the Chiefs as an RB in who knows how long. James Conner is getting touchdowns or touches, depending on Chase Edmonds injury. More injured equals more touches, less injured equals fresh legs for goal line work. TDG has Bob Woods, Mike Evans, Timmy Pats, and Amon-Ra St. Brown rounding out his receiving core. Oh, did I mention Derrick Henry? TDG wins because his best player has the 14^th most points in fantasy. D-Train is 10 spots and 30 points better than Cooper Kupp. TDG is likely a 9 point favorite in this matchup, I expect him to continue his hot streak in games of the week and sweep Bruce.

PeePaw v. CrossFit

This was the game of the week for Week 1. It ended with a CrossFit win. Let’s look at what has changed. PeePaw is on his longest winning streak of the year. He’s made some moves. He has Tannehill, Adams, and that’s about it for his lineup. He is an early favorite for 100 point watch. The RB room has not been favorable for PeePaw. His lineup is mainly set, CrossFit has 3 people on bye still in his starting lineup, and is likely a 8 point favorite once PeePaw adds a kicker. Brady, Mike Davis, Lockett, Amari Cooper Kupp, Kelce, and new TE1 for the Cards Zach Ertz. This one won’t be as high scoring for CrossFit as week 1, but he’ll be something like a 30 point favorite, give me CrossFit in this one.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Trashman

Mush pulled off Week 1 against Trashman. Mush’s only real byes are Dawson Knox and Diontae Johnson. With Mush making moves for Darrell Henderson and Corey Davis, he has no issue with depth. His guys have been clicking, and a lot of that has to do with Ruggs and Hollywood having great seasons. Mush has Jacobs, Hendy, and Gibby for backs. Deebo, Ruggs, Hollywood, AB, and Corey Davis in his receiving core. This is a complete team. It is made up on untraditional heavy hitters as most of these guys are outplaying their early season rankings. The exceptions are Josh Jacobs and Gibby, both have been dinged up all year. Trashman has a tougher bye week. Trashman loses his QB in Lawrence, RB in Moss, and a WR in Jalen Guyton. Who? Yeah, Jalen Guyton. He can replace those guys with Danny Dimes, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Kenny G or Curty Sam depending on who is healthy. At the end of the day, the depth of Mush will easily pile on Trashman. Mush is expected to be a 30 point favorite, I think he gets the sweep.

Bottom Bunk v. Pistol

Pistol won this matchup in the battle for last place. Neither team has lost as many games as they should have as they rank 8^th and 10^th. Pistol is 8^th on the app. Both teams should be considered for 100 point watch. Bottom Bunk has Teddy2Gloves, Chase Edmonds, McKissic, Shepard, either Watkins, Kendrick Bourne, and Goedert. His projections put him at 103. That’s not good. Pistol is on 100 point watch just due to his team being so young and old. He will be about a 17 point favorite. Murray will get his. The questions come up with A.J. Brown and if he is truly healthy, Sutton if he is actually a monster, and then the young guys in Michael Carter, Kadarius Toney, and Pitts. Rookies are inconsistent, so he needs average points from them to get over the 100 point mark. Pistol as the favorite and somehow sleeper in the league, shoots off another win.

Teach v. Batman

Teach won week 1. This week Teach has some byes that will cause him to reach deeper into his bench. Starting Rodgers, Mixon, Murray, Tyreek, D.J. Moore, Waddle, and Hockenson, things look good. However, Batman has a good bad team. Yes, a good bad team. Lamar, Gaskin, Swift, Mitchell, and Hubbard all have starting jobs. Gaskin needs to figure it out though, well the Dolphins need to figure it out. For WRs he has Jakobi Meyers and DeVonta Smith, they are sneaky. The big difference comes in with Darren Waller who is putting up ok points, but needs to find the end zone at some point this season. Batman is the favorite, but I’m taking last weeks lead dog and this week underdog Teach.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Daddy Wombat

JonnyDIII won week 1. When it is all said and done with lineups JD3 should be a 25ish point favorite. Last week JD3 was also a huge favorite and needed Monday night to seal the deal. DW looks to do the same as his big hitters are Monday Night. JD3 has Mahomes, Sanders, Cooks, Chase, Mooney, McLaurin, and Pittman. The concerns are DPJ and the RB2 who is currently Kenyan Drake. Daddy Wombat gets Kamara back, he loses Claypool to the bye. The other guys are Hurts, D-Hop, Rondale Moore, and Higbee. It will be an interesting game as anything can happen Monday Night and DW has Kamara and Metcalf going at that time. No lead is safe heading into that Monday Night.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt.

Dr. Tilt Week 7 Picks

Again ***Please check your local, county, state, country, gaming, and other laws to see if gambling is allowed and available near you.

Last Week 1-3; Overall Record 7-12

Now for the Week 7 Power Rankings.

I cannot justify moving a team off last place when they failed to hit 100 points, then barely get over the hump, and now are projected to just reach 100 points.

Well that does it for this week. We have a good chance for some separation between the top half and bottom half of the league as we run the first three games back. We shall find out on Tuesday, until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!

Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 6 Recap

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 6 Recap. We had another exciting week of football. Some tight ones and some blowouts. Unfortunately, the game of the week was a blowout. We have a lot of teams bunched up just above .500 and the fight for those 3 through 6 seeds will be something. We will run through the games, recap predictions, and take a look at if Dr. Tilt stayed hot. Now, the game of the week.

Game of the Week

Teach v. CrossFit

Teach took this one and ran with it. He had a great Sunday morning. Marvin Jones Jr. put up 19 and Jaylen Waddle added 25. Joe Mixon has 23. Solid week by everyone else, only losing a few of his individual matchups by a handful of points. CrossFit has a QB problem, last week Tom was hot and on his bench. This week Dak was hot an on his bench. With the RB injuries it forced CrossFit to put Mark Ingram in his lineup. Ingram had an ok week, with 9. Ekeler had a rough week with only 7 points. The Chargers were not doing well on Sunday. Cooper Kupp put up a dirty 30. Even Cole Beasley tried his best and put up 18. But overall, his team did not live up to the test. Teach wins 173.33 to 147.75. Teach was lead dog in the Game of the Week.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Daddy Wombat

Mush is off to a good start. Making a trade for Darrell Henderson worked well. Hendy put up 23 points. Antonio Brown was the only other real big week with 19. The other guys, all had respectable weeks with Gibby being the one letdown only having 3 points. Daddy Wombat had big games from D-Hop with 19 and the steal of the week in Khalil Herbert putting up 18 points. With Kamara on bye Daddy Wombat had no chance. Mush wins 159.95 to 104.79.

Bruce v. Pistol

Bruce has really turned it on. Thursday night he hit the jackpot with Fournette putting up 27. His other RB JT also outshined Fournette with 28 points. The WR spot was not doing much for Bruce. But with Zeke and Najee both having great weeks, 15 and 21 respectively, it didn’t matter. Pistol is rebuilding. Murray did well, James Rob had 17 and Sutton had 19. Not great, but Pistol has some young guys and will have more next year. It is a two year outlook for him. Bruce wins 164.25 to 122.55.

PeePaw v. Batman

PeePaw was winless entering the week. He made some moves to help with a rebuild. Dalvin Cook was a full go, 21 points. CeeDee Lamb had a late score to really boost his week, 31. With Monty out PeePaw still has to wait a few weeks to get his team at full power. BUT was it enough? Batman has a 20 point game from Noah Fant. Hubbard put up 13 in the CMC absence. D’Andre Swift put up 15. The problem for Batman was that Gaskin only got 2, Terrance Marshall only had 1, and DeVonta Smith only had 4. With no big breaks for Batman, PeePaw gets the break. PeePaw wins his first one 136.23 to 108.35.

Bottom Bunk v. Touchdown Guy

The start of the week belongs to Bottom Bunk. Thursday night Dallas Goedert stayed in his lineup, even after a reminder earlier in the week. B.B. also had a taxi violation and has a player that is being cut from his team. This roster has 0 flexibility. Christian Kirk had 16 points, McKissic had 15, and Bourne turned 0 points with like 4 minutes left, to a 14 point game. TDG needed Monday Night. Thielen had 24, Darrel Williams had 22, and TDG had Josh Allen, Derrick Henry, and Anthony Firkser to play in Monday Night. Facing a 27 point deficit all he needed was a good game from Allen, or Josh Allen plus D-Train. The combo put up 76 points. He didn’t need much, but he got all of it and then some. TDG wins 168.95 to 118.5.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Trashman

This one came down to the wire. JD3 was projected 180 points, had 100 at the end of Sunday. No one wanted it this week. Brandin Cooks put up 13 points. McLaurin and Pittman both had 4. Monday Night JD3 had Diggs to go, who is averaging 11 points per game. Trashman had two players with good weeks. Aaron Jones had 19 and Mark Andrews had 15. These big games put Trashman up by 5 going into Monday Night with Zack Moss to go. Diggs go JD3 19 and Moss got Trashman 4. JonnyDIII barely pulled it out in the Monday night thriller 120.35 to 110.53.

Some quick predictions recap: Chase Claypool is actually not back, James Rob did have his big week, and Carolina only held Justin Jefferson in check, Thielen and Cooks had big weeks.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt.

Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 6 Preview

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 6 Preview. We have a lot of moves that happened. Teams looking to cash in on a championship run and teams looking to start their rebuild. I suspect a few more teams will make a push in the coming weeks as things settle in, but right now we have Week 6. We take a look at our matchups and the Game of the Week, Dr. Tilt, some predictions, and an all new Power Rankings. Let’s dive into our game of the week.s

Game of the Week

Teach v. CrossFit

We are off to a hot start in the PCDL. Teams are bunching up at the top, with only 6 spots it’s tighter than CrossFit’s hamstrings. Speaking of tight hamstrings, this matchup really revolves around whether CMC is back, or if Coach Rhule pulled a fast one on us by not placing CMC on the IR for three weeks. Pins and needles waiting to see what happens as Sunday approaches. That is enough of an ice breaker, let’s take a look at Teach’s students. Teach is hoping Aaron Rodgers takes it to the division rival Bears. Mixon is healthy? Mixon is a smash start against the Lions. Tyreek Hill, as always, is a roller coaster. This juicy matchup against the Football Team should get Tyreek in one of his 20+ point games. T.J. Hockenson is one of the greatest mysteries of this fantasy football season. First and Second period, T.J. was top of the class, now, not so much. Is this a get right game for T.J.? Probably not as the Bengals are a very solid team this year. D.J. Moore had his first “bad” week last week. If CMC is back, Moore should be more average to above average as some of the pressure is taken off of him and Darnold. CrossFit has a QB controversy. Dak and Brady both very good at football. The bye week is weighing on CrossFit, losing Mike Davis and Jamison Crowder, last week starters from his lineup. The waiver wire and CMC are his only hope. Ekeler, Lockett, and Amari Cooper Kupp are all big names for CrossFit to rely on. CrossFit is a 23 point favorite and I think his stars shine a little brighter than Teach.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Daddy Wombat

Mush got his teeth kicked in last week. D.W. got a big win (against a winless team). Mush is sporting Stafford, Jacobs, Gibby, Hollywood, Diontae, and A.B. Plus the new hotness that is Dawson Knox (I miss you). With injuries to Clyde and the bye week taking out Deebo, Mush will likely look to one of his young WRs to fill the void. Boom or bust, either way it should not matter. Daddy Wombat has no depth. Russ is out so it’s time to Hurts so good. Damien Williams is the RB1, the RB2 is Kamara on a bye. Likely fill in candidate is Gio Bernard. No thank you. WR core is ok for another week, Metcalf, Claypool, and Hopkins. With other young boom or bust guys, D.W. needs the booming. I don’t see it. Mush is likely a 30 point favorite once rosters are figured out, Mush glides by in an easy win.

Bruce v. Pistol

Bruce is not messing around this year. Zeke, JT, Fournette, and Najee all had big weeks and I expect that to continue. Emmanuel Sanders has been a sneaky start all year. Tyler Boyd and Renfrow do just enough. Chris Godwin has underperformed but still give enough each week to keep Bruce in games. Pistol hot off a win. Pistol hot off a big trade. A likely late first, Kareem Hunt, and Michael Thomas to PeePaw for A.J. Brown. This hurts Pistols’ chances of winning, but gives him a good long term outlook. Murray, James Rob, Brown, Sutton, and Toney make up his big names. However, these young bucks are not going to show out every week early in their careers. Bruce is likely a 30 point favorite, he stays on his heater.

PeePaw v. Batman

PeePaw is winless, Batman has 1 win. This is an ugly one. PeePaw took Kareem Hunt and traded for Justin Herbert. Herbert will be PeePaw’s QB for a long time. Davante, Lamb, and Jefferson make out the rest of his lineup. These 4 must put up huge numbers to have a chance. Dalvin Cook’s injury still looming, if he’s healthy, the odds will likely even up. Batman hot off a win. Lamar was a monster. Gaskin was a monster. Swift was a monster. He will need all that, plus Shenault, DeVonta Smith, and Waller to have big games to get this win. Batman is currently 10 point favorite, but if Cook is healthy it will swing to PeePaw. Cook in, PeePaw, Cook out, Batman.

Bottom Bunk v. Touchdown Guy

We have our bottom scorer versus our top scorer. Bottom Bunk has Olamide Zaccheaus (who was a starter for B.B., I’m not joking, this guy was in his starting lineup), on the bye this week. Keelan Cole on his bench is also on a bye. This leaves his only options as Kendrick Bourne and Sterling Shepard to start. If Sterling Shepard is still out, then B.B. will not have a complete starting lineup. He already has four RBs in his starting lineup, which is the max, he has to find either a TE or WR to fill the last starting spot if Shepard is out. This is bad, notice how I’m not even talking about his starters. BAD. Touchdown Guy has no issues. Josh Allen is tall. Derrick Henry will likely have a “down” week, but that’s still 15 points. Darrel Williams is now the starter for the Chiefs and should help TDG. Thielen had a bad week but is still solid. Mike and Mike are both elite. Yah, Mike Williams is elite. Bob Woods is so back. B.B. is going to be a 50ish point dog once this is all cleared up. B.B. may get doubled up again this week, which would be a first in PCDL history. Give me TDG by Fleetwood Mac.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Trashman

JonnyDIII took one on the chin last week. Losing to a team that is in a rebuild is an the worst. It really demoralizes you. JD3 pulled off a trade, sending Kareem Hunt to his starting lineup. No more start backup QB, but this was a much needed move. JD3 is sporting Mahomes, Sanders, Hunt, Keenan Allen, McLaurin, Diggs, and Pittman. It is a good group. JD3 saw a lack of TDs last week, not that it would have made a huge difference, but this is an easy bounce back game. Trashman, he has a couple byes that will hurt him. Superstar Cordarrelle Patterson is on a bye. Kenny G is hurt. Allen Rob, well he’s having a bad year, and on top of that, he will go up against a banged up Packers Defense. But I think that is good for Mooney’s big play capability rather than A-Rob. Nick Chub and Aaron Jones, very good, but it’s the rest of Trashman’s team that is not great. JD3 is probably going to be a 45 point favorite, I won’t pick this one, but I think JD3 has a good shot.

Some quick predictions: Chase Claypool is all the way back, James Rob big week, and I think Carolina will give the Vikings a tough go this week, low scoring game, low scoring fantasy.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt.

Dr. Tilt Week 6 Picks

Again ***Please check your local, county, state, country, gaming, and other laws to see if gambling is allowed and available near you.

Week 6 Dr. Tilt

The Doc told you Week 5 was the week he’d turn it around and he did. And as is tradition, when the Doc goes 3-0 that means BONUS PICK. Was it a flash of pure luck or has Dr. Tilt found his groove?

Green Bay Packers (-4.5) @ Chicago Bears

If the Bears win this game, they will be in sole possession of first place in the NFC North. Matt Nagy doesn’t deserve to be in first place of anything and won’t be. Aaron Rodgers loves nothing more than beating the Bears. He’s 9-1 against Chicago dating back to 2016 with wins by an average of almost 12 points per game. Outside of a spectacular throw here and there the Packers offense hasn’t found its rhythm quite yet but an opportunity to show out against the Bears is sure to do the trick.

Dallas Cowboys @ New England Patriots Under 52

The Cowboys have gone over in 4 of their first 5 games this year. Their only missed over was of course the pick the Doc handed out in Week 2 against the Chargers. Why go contrarian then? The Patriots offense is ugly, and the Doc loves this spot for Bill Belichick against Mike McCarthy. The only way for the Patriots to keep this interesting is to dink n dunk their way to eating clock and minimizing possessions. The Cowboys (deservingly) are getting a lot of love this week. The Doc expects them to win but not in the high-scoring fashion they have so far this year.

Seattle Seahawks @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-4.5)

Just bet against Geno Smith until it doesn’t work. That’s it, that’s the analysis.

**BONUS PICK**

Buffalo Bills (-5.5) @ Tennessee Titans

The first bonus pick of the year is a delight on Monday Night Football. The Buffalo Bills are an absolute wagon right now. Some are asking is this a letdown spot after the Chiefs win? The Doc says no. The Titans defense invites a track meet each and every week and this Bills offense is going to blow right by them. Monday Night Football has treated us to some close and exciting games to start the season. The Doc doesn’t think this will be one of them, lay the points.

Now for the Power Rankings

We have a few rules we hold near and dear on the power rankings. Rule #1 under 100 points you are last. Rule #2 see Rule #1. Pretty simple stuff.

Well that does it for the Week 6 Preview. With a lot of top v. bottom matchups this could separate the league up. We will see. With this being a 14 week season getting to 7 wins or loses is the breaking point for playoffs. Teams are sneaking up on that. In the next three weeks we will have some answers. We will see who gets closer on Tuesday. Until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!

Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 5 Recap

Good morning everyone, we have the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 5 Recap. Oh baby the keys are flowing on this new comp. We dropping the post tonight, the keys so silky smooth under my fingertips. I might type all day. Or maybe, just maybe, I lost and am so angry I want to get this over with quick. Let’s dive into the Game of the Week.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Touchdown Guy

Some dudes just built different. One of those dudes is Josh Allen and how tall he is. Derrick Henry gave TDG 31 points, James Conner found the zone to get 10, and Saquon is hurt, adding 1 point. The Mikes, Evans and Williams combined for 58 points. However, if Hollywood put on a show Monday night, then Mush has a shot. AB had 28. Then Mush had everyone play pretty well, Gibby 20, Jacobs, Deebo, and Diontae all had 14 a pop. Hollywood ended with 29, but it was not enough. Touchdown Guy with the big DUB 196.25 to 176.35.

Bruce v. CrossFit

Bruce wants this so bad. This could be a worst to first situation. Zeke did his best Jeff Gordon impression running laps around the Giants, adding 24. Fournette put up 19, and Najee had a 9 + 10. Bruce also was blessed with a sweet 16 from his kicker. CrossFit is down so bad. CMC out, Brady on his bench, and his team let him down. Ekeler had 30, Amari Cooper Kupp each had 13. The problem was Tyler Lockett and Robbie Anderson only combining for 12. CrossFit suffered his first loss, Bruce wins 185.25 to 142.38.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Pistol

Coming off of a Co-Game of the Week, JD3 was in a classic letdown spot. It happened. I am smashing Eagles’ cds, play Miles Sanders, he had 7 points. Brandin Cooks got shut down by the Pats, I knew this would happen, still went with it, still wouldn’t have mattered. Ja’Marr Chase, very good with 25, his trade value probably goes up. Pistol popped off with his Rookies this weekend. Pistol is familiar with crossing the pond and it looks like his players are too. Pitts put up 22, Carter added 13, Sutton got a late score for 21, and Toney put up 24. What is going on? All of these guys put up season highs. As did Pistol. Pistol wins and his draft stock does not, 167.55 to 119.

PeePaw v. Daddy Wombat

PeePaw snuck into the playoffs last year after a slow start. This year he wants to see if he can get off to an even slower start. PeePaw had a week for Davante Adams for 32 points. CeeDee Lamb had 18 and Justin Jefferson had 16. Sammy Slings was more like Sammy Stinks with 12. The remaining RBs and WRs all had under 10 points each. Big time not good. D.W. lost Russ. Kamara, Metcalf, and Claypool all pulled off insane games. Kamara 30, Metcalf 24, and Claypool 21. Rondale Moore and D-Hop shared the field and combined for 31. It might be time to call blouses on PeePaw’s playoff hopes. Daddy Wombat wins 162.88 to 125.45.

Bottom Bunk v. Batman

Bottom Bunk hates scoring points. Darrell Henderson put up a sweet sixteen to start on Thursday. Hendy was B.B.’s lead dog. That’s bad. Edmonds and McKissic had 4 points combined. Corey Davis had 6.5. Not good. Batman didn’t need much to win this week. Gaskin when ham for 27 points. Everyone else was solid. Swift 19, Chuba 16, Deonte Harris 14, DeVonta Smith 11. It was enough although you would like to see more out of Waller and Shenault. Oh, and Lamar put up 58 points to almost outscore Bottom Bunk on his own. Not every day you see a guy get doubled up, but if there was one guy that it would happen to, it’s B.B. Batman wins 180.08 to 72.6.

Teach v. Trashman

This is one of those games that if you have the tape you just throw it away. Teach had Rodgers with 30, Tony Pollard with a dozen, and Mason Crosby with 15. The others were under double digits. Trashman had Chubb with 23, Patterson with 16, and Aaron Jones with 13. The rest were under double digits (INCLUDING DANNY DIMES). Kenny G had no points. This was the worst game. I wish neither team won. However, Trashman with the late night heroics of Mark Andrews and his 36 points, Trashman wins it 118.36 to 99.62.

Condensed prediction results: Hendy, Fournette, and Emmanuel Sanders all were a hit, but I was off on Kenny G (injury but I’m still wrong). I was right on keeping Saquon and Ridley (injury and personal reason) was right about Gaskin as the RB, but as a pass catching option Gaskin absolutely ruined my take. Tyreek Hill was alright, so I would say it’s a push push.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt.

Dr. Tilt. has his prescription for the week.

Titans -4 @ Jaguars

BANG!

Eagles @ Panthers Under 45

BANG!

Dolphins @ Buccaneers -10

BANG!

Dr. Tilt 3-0 Week 5, 6-9 (nice) on the season.

We all got loses, but we don’t all have wins. Next week maybe PeePaw gets a win? We also have two teams that failed to score 100 points. That is not great, I mean it is bad. Like blow up the team bad. I mean how do you look at yourself in the mirror bad. Wednesday we will take a peek at the preview, Dr. Tilt, and updated power rankings. The Power Rankings will be all over, this week was crazy. I know that I would not want to check it out if my team put up under a hundo. Until then, I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!

Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 5 Preview

Good morning everyone, we have the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 5 Preview. My computer is dead, so this will be a somewhat condensed version of the preview. Like my computer 2 teams are on the fringe of their playoff dreams dying. We will look at the Week 5 matchups, Dr. Tilt hopes to have an above .500 week, and the Week 5 Power Rankings. Let’s take a look at our Game of the Week.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Touchdown Guy

I know, you are probably sick of seeing TDG in games of the week. But his team is hot, and his QB is tall. Mush and TDG have the best matchup, they are worthy of prime time. And primetime is the perfect spot for Mush to turn to mush. Mush is looking to keep the ball rolling with Clyde, Gibby, and Jacobs. Clyde faces a tough Buffalo defense, but the game should still be a shootout. Shootouts favor the QB, and TDG has the Tall Josh Allen. Hollywood, Deebo, and Diontae, need at least one break out to keep up with TDG and his big time backs. TDG has Derrick Henry against the Jaguars. The Jaguars stink, so Henry should get a lot of touches. Saquon goes against the tough Cowboys, but this should get Saquon more ppr points. Robert Woods had his first TD of the year last week, hopefully for TDG, Stafford (Mush’s QB) continues to fill everyone’s cup, not just Kupp. Adam Thielen has the Lions, and with how the Lions have been playing, this may be a sneaky shootout or at least require the Vikings to throw the ball more. Thielen needs a good week. TDG is a 17 point favorite in this potential playoff matchup, I think he gets it done.

Bruce v. CrossFit

Bruce is 2-2 taking on the 4-0 CrossFit. Bruce’s only hope is that all his RBs go off. Zeke against the G-Men, Fournette against Miami, should both be plus matchups. The issue will be Najee against Denver and JT against Baltimore. The saving grace is that Big Ben can only check down, maybe a big ppr week for Harris again. Bruce also gets another week of Tyler Boyd without Tee Higgins, and the Packers secondary is banged up. This could be another big week for Boyd, and Bruce needs it. CrossFit is hoping Mike Davis can get his juice back against the Jets. Ekeler had a great Monday Night, but now faces a tough Browns D. Ekeler’s involvement in the passing game should save the week for him. Crowder had a big week, can he repeat? Cooper Kupp and Lockett both go Thursday night in what should be an air raid. CrossFit is projected to be the lead dog and will get to an early start Thursday Night. He could be lead dog start to finish. CrossFit is favored by 17, and he takes it.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Pistol

After a big win, JD3 is lined up for a letdown game. With Logan Thomas banged up, JD3 is relying on Austin Hooper to do something. Thicc Randy is kicking for him. JD3 will not receive goose eggs in those spots again. Ja’Marr Chase goes against an injured Packers secondary, this should get Chase back in the end zone. Diggs plays Kansas City, lots of air yards to be had. With Miles Sanders playing the Panthers, and the Eagles not knowing how to run the football, it should be another bad week for the JD3 RBs. Pistol has a lot of good matchups this week. Murray just lit up the Rams, and now faces the 49ers that have QB/Offense concerns. That just means more time for Murray with the ball. James Rob goes against Tennessee that has a similar situation. Pistol has issues with if Cobb and Lazard can co-exist, will Danny Dimes have enough time to get Toney the ball, and does Sutton have a capable QB? All these questions sway Pistol’s chances. I don’t pick this game, but JD3 is a 24 point favorite.

PeePaw v. Daddy Wombat

PeePaw is looking for Darnold to continue his hot start. Cook plays the Lions, but injury concerns are there. Not on the injury report, it’s just that Cook goes missing for a couple drives each week. It is make or break time for Aiyuk, having a rough start to the season, he needs to show something. Adams and Justin Jefferson should provide a lot of offense for PeePaw. With A.J. Brown, if healthy, he may send the Jags home needing a “couple days to clear their head.” D.W. is down bad. Injuries bad, depth bad. Russ has been ok. Damien Williams should be the starter for the Bears if he’s healthy. Kamara has a mini issue in the Saints offense because they won’t just give him the ball every play. I would give him the ball every play, he’s too good. Will Fuller is on IR, Claypool is questionable after missing Week 4, and everyone else is bad. D.W. is already starting Rondale Moore, Gabriel Davis, and Byron Pringle. Who the last spot will go to, should not really matter. PeePaw is a 25 point favorite as of now, likely will be a 18 point favorite once the roster is adjusted by D.W., either way PeePaw his first win.

Bottom Bunk v. Batman

B.B. lost Monday Night and is not ready for Batman. B.B.’s QB is questionable in Teddy2Gloves. Edmonds is ok, but the 49ers are solid. Hendy should have a big week at Seattle. Corey Davis against the Falcons should be good too. Ridley might have a down week as the Jets are bad, but their defense is solid. Batman needs a win. This could be the week. Swift against Minnesota and Hubbard (assuming CMC is still out) against the Eagles should both be good matchups. The sneaky play is Laviska Shenault who saw a ton of targets after Chark went down. He could be the difference maker for Batman moving forward. Jakobi Meyers, target machine, goes against the Texans after Bellichek lost to Brady. I expect the Patriots to take it out on the Texans. Batman is a 14 point favorite, I’m rolling with the favorite.

Teach v. Trashman

Teach may lose Mixon come Sunday and will have to alter his lineup. Carson had a weird week 4. The RB room for Teach is in trouble. A.J. Green is surprisingly hot hot hot. Tyreek Hill will have a tough individual matchup this week against the Bills, but he always finds a way to get it done. D.J. Moore is unreal, I think he keeps it going against the Eagles. Trashman has a good matchup with Aaron Jones against Cincy. Cordarrelle Patterson against the Jets should result in another good week for him. A-Rob has been bad, is he worth the gamble in Vegas? Kenny G has turned it on, Danny Dimes needs to find time to throw it up against the Dallas D. Teach is an 11 point favorite, and I’ll finish up by taking all the favorites this week. Maybe Dr. Tilt should consider that.

Condensed predictions: give me Hendy, Fournette, Kenny G, and Emmanuel Sanders. Keep Saquon, Gaskin, Tryeek, and Ridley.

Now let’s look at Dr. Tilt.

Dr. Tilt Week 4 Picks

Dr. Tilt. has his prescription for the week.

The Doc won’t lie to you guys, it’s been a rough start to the season so far. But it’s a long season and this is the week it turns around.
Positive. Vibes Only.
Here are the picks for Week 5. Fade at your own risk (you know who you are).
Titans -4 @ Jaguars
Eagles @ Panthers Under 45
Dolphins @ Buccaneers -10

Let’s dive into the Week 5 Power Rankings.

Not a ton of movement. Mush goes up, TDG goes down. The top 4 are elite. The opposite can be said for the bottom 4.

Well that does it this week for the PCDL. Wish me luck as I fire up the new computer later this week. We are so back baby. Speaking of being back, we will be back on Tuesday, hopefully every team has at least 1 win next time around. Until then, I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!
