🏈 Week 1 Fantasy Football Recap: “Fantasy Football is Pain (and Occasionally Glory)”
🧀 Jack vs. Mild Cheddar
Final Score: Jack 97.5 – Mild Cheddar 112.2
Bo Nix’s 6.8 points looked like he was actively trying to sabotage Jack’s week. The poor guy had a lower QBR than Jack’s bench WR. Garrett Wilson (22.5) did everything short of driving Jack to the stadium himself, but the rest of the roster ghosted him.
Meanwhile, Mild Cheddar had Broncos D/ST (16.0) and kicker Matt Prater (12.0) showing more consistency than anyone on Jack’s squad. Even Tony Pollard sleepwalking to 7.9 couldn’t spoil it.
Takeaway: Jack’s team melted under pressure, while Mild Cheddar kept it sharp and steady.
🐯 Lubby vs. Ben 10’s Watch
Final Score: Lubby 100.6 – Ben 10’s Watch 101.8
This was the kind of matchup where both managers probably aged 10 years. Joe Burrow (8.8) looked like he was still in preseason form, dragging Lubby down like an anchor. Keon Coleman (25.2) rotted on the bench — enough to swing the win. That’s pain on a spiritual level.
Ben 10’s Lamar Jackson (29.4) was a one-man army, dragging along a D/ST that scored an impressive 0.0. Saquon chipped in (18.4), but RJ Harvey and Tyrone Tracy (a combined 13.4) were dead weight.
Takeaway: Ben survived by the skin of his teeth. Lubby’s bench could’ve delivered victory, but instead she gets a moral defeat.
🍍 Jon’s Super Team vs. Pineapple Power
Final Score: Jon 94.2 – Pineapple 104.9
Jon’s “Super Team” title might be under league investigation. JJ McCarthy (22.2) was solid, Justin Jefferson (14.8) did his usual work, but Isiah Pacheco (4.8) and Tee Higgins (6.3) were as useful as a wet paper towel.
Pineapple Power rolled out Jalen Hurts (24.3), Puka Nacua (23.1), and Rome Odunze (15.7), turning the matchup into a tropical storm. Even David Montgomery (8.3) couldn’t drag them down.
Takeaway: Pineapple was spiky, juicy, and victorious. Jon’s “Super” squad looked more like the Wish version of the Justice League.
🤖 AI Overlords vs. Bjorn’s Deep Thoughts
Final Score: Overlords 108.5 – Bjorn 103.2
AI Overlords won, but it wasn’t pretty. Ja’Marr Chase (4.6) ghosted like he had dial-up internet. Mark Andrews (1.5) may as well have been auto-drafted from the waiver wire. Luckily, Jayden Daniels (20.1) and Aaron Jones (15.7) uploaded just enough points to escape with a W.
Bjorn rolled out Patrick Mahomes (26.0) and Courtland Sutton (18.1), but Matthew Golden (3.6) and Steelers D/ST (1.0) tanked the vibes. His bench (Etienne 18.6, Jonnu Smith 12.5) scored like starters, which makes it sting worse.
Takeaway: AI rules the world… barely. Bjorn thinks deeply, but unfortunately doesn’t score deeply.
💵 $traight Cash Homies vs. CJ’s Semi-Competitive Team
Final Score: Cash 130.8 – CJ 114.1
Josh Allen (38.8) straight-up dropped a fantasy nuke, while Bijan Robinson (24.4) and Marvin Harrison Jr. (18.1) made it rain. Even Kenneth Walker (5.4) and Cardinals D/ST (4.0) couldn’t sink Cash.
CJ came in hot with CMC (23.2) and Chuba Hubbard (17.9), but A.J. Brown (1.8) ghosted harder than your ex on read receipts. To make it worse, CJ’s bench was stacked — Emeka Egbuka (23.6), Pittman (20.0), and Caleb Williams (24.2). That’s a playoff team… on the bench.
Takeaway: $traight Cash looked like an ATM. CJ was semi-competitive… emphasis on semi.
🏟️ Go Sports Ball! vs. Sarah’s Smart Team
Final Score: Sports Ball 119.2 – Smart Team 96.2
Go Sports Ball! finally lived up to their ironic name. Baker Mayfield (22.6), James Cook (21.2), and JSN (19.4) made this squad look like it actually knows what a football is.
Sarah’s Smart Team wasn’t so smart this week. Derrick Henry (29.2) smashed like a Norse god, but Xavier Worthy (0.0) put up a ghost performance, and Tyreek Hill (8.0) forgot to bring the Cheetah speed. Oh, and Zay Flowers (28.1) was left on the bench, which is just cruel.
Takeaway: Sports Ball ironically balled. Sarah’s team was smart enough to bench her best player. Oof.
🏆 Week 1 Awards
🏅 MVP (Most Valuable Player)
Josh Allen ($traight Cash Homies) – 38.8 points

Imagine having a championship team… and keeping it on the sideline. Pain.

This wasn’t “Semi-Competitive.” This was “Did you even show up?”
