Hi all – The weekly recaps will be coming less frequently going forward. Nothing is wrong. Have a great week as the playoffs approach!

Your weekly recap is coming a full day late. Apologies, but no regrets. Your steadfast Commissioner has been hard at work on other interesting projects. But, loyal readers know I try to reflect on the week if I have time. Highest Scorer: Tyrannosaurs in F-14s (146.6 points) Matt’s highest scoring team doesn’t have some neat gimmick …

What a wild double-header MNF slate to close the book on week 7?! Phew! This is one of the strangest weeks of Big League I can recall. Not a single empty roster, but more blowouts than a salon before prom. The Fantasy Gods cast their dismay on this week. Let’s get into it. Highest Scorer: Bob …

Ladies and gentlemen, we got a fine. $15 added to the top end of the pot. Look out for a $1 bonus all around. Onward! Highest Scorer: Dez Still Caught It (152.4 points) I’ll keep telling you guys till it’s already too late: we have to WATCH OUT for Miller’s gang, Dez Still Caught It. …

Mercifully, Week 5 of football has reached an end. It would be one thing if the Monday Night game was a meaningless Broncos vs Panthers game, but Chiefs vs Saints mattered. Half of the league played a Kansas City citizen or a New Orleanian, so butts were in seats until the bitter end last night. …

A lopsided real-life NFL week has mercifully concluded. The morning slate was the highest-scoring slate of football we’ve had so far, while the latter was the expected snooze-fest. However, with injuries, breakouts, and busts, the Quarter-Season Carnival is in effect for strategy reevaluation. Housekeeping: a) Players with 0 points Believe it or not, I don’t …

Scoring was wonky this week. A staggering 19/40 teams recorded a player that scored 0 points or worse. (Yes, six Defenses scored negative points). But the beat goes on and so must this write-up. Highest Scorer: Freak of Nature (168.52 points) Nary a week goes by that I won’t give Sel and the Freaks their …

With week two in the rearviewmirror, we can reflect on one of the evergreen facts of life & fantasy football: we know nothing. The Saints and Buccaneers are undefeated; Travis Kelce is invisible now; Malik Willis wins games; and Kickers are the most important players in the game now. Oh, but we did suspect this: …

The NFL is back, baby. Starting off with two gangbuster matchups that may preview the AFC/NFC Championships, Week 1 was a sloppy, slippy, Brazilian, reptilian, insane, and anything but mundane slate of football to yank us back to our comfort-red-zone. Let’s get started with the weekly recap. Highest Scorer: Scrantonicity 6 (146.96) It’s not frequent …
