Please ignore the arbitrary numbers next to the names. These matchups are based on last week’s bracket. Keeping with last week, we will …

Week 14 Recap: The Donut Shop Reopens (’24-’25)

Hi all – I present the return of the write-ups for the advent of the playoffs. Even though there wasn’t a league-wide readership on the write-ups, I still felt some guilt that I couldn’t make a weekly blog post about the site and these 40 members. In any case, let’s kick it off. For now, …

Week 8 Recap: A Stale Donut is Better Than No Donut At All (’24-’25)

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 …

Week 7 Recap: A Jelly-Filled First Down (’24-’25)

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 …

Week 5 Recap: A Donut Eaten is a Donut To Remember (ʻ24-ʻ25)

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. …

Week 4 Recap: A Chocolate Covered Touchdown for Me, Please.(’24-’25)

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 …

Week 3 Recap: A Donut Hole in My Heart (’24-’25)

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 …

Week 2 Recap: A Bakerʻs Dozen of Points (ʻ24-ʻ25)

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: …
