Brian Stays Perfect at 173.94, Chas Benches 123 Points and Loses

WEEK IN REVIEW

The Mile High Fantasy Club's Week 2 story belongs to Brian, who dropped 173.94 points — 30% above league average — to hand Chas his first loss of the season by the slimmest margin in the league's two-week history: 11.44 points. That number would sting for anyone. For Chas, who left 123.94 points rotting on his bench while losing by 11, it's the kind of thing that should keep a man up at night — except Chas doesn't lose sleep over fantasy football, which is precisely what makes him insufferable. Dak Prescott (29.76), Travis Kelce (29.60), and Matthew Stafford (26.98) all hit double digits for Brian, giving him a lineup that fired on nearly every cylinder. Chas countered with Amon-Ra St. Brown's 35.20-point monster game and Jared Goff's 29.78, but DJ Moore's -0.10 and Carson Wentz's 6.32 off the bench ate the margin alive.

The rest of Week 2 was a bloodbath for the 0-2 crowd. Jenkins erased any doubt about his 2-0 start by blasting RyCohan 157.62–116.40 behind CeeDee Lamb (35.30) and Ja'Marr Chase (26.50). Paul Todd did what Paul Todd does — won without fully convincing anyone — as Josh Allen's 40.82-point eruption carried Big Bauls past Tolby 140.72–98.86, a 41.86-point blowout. The commissioner took a gut punch from his own franchise quarterback: Jayden Daniels mustered only 14.74 points while Tolby's Malik Nabers posted a catastrophic 1.10. Devon (So Girthy) continued his post-near-championship redemption arc by handling Cameron 130.68–87.50, while Jaxson Smith-Njigba's 42.50-point performance did most of the heavy lifting. Andy's SLËËP3RÇĒLL survived another week of genuinely low-tier fantasy football, beating Blake 98.90–86.20 in a game where both teams finished well below league average and Andy's Brock Purdy (28.48) was the only reason anyone could write a positive sentence about that roster.

Four teams sit at 2-0, four sit at 0-2, and the line between them is hardening fast. Week 3 won't have the luxury of early-season grace — the unbeaten need to prove it wasn't scheduling luck, and the winless need a miracle before the narrative writes itself without them.

MATCHUP RECAPS

The Caucasians (Brian) def. Veteran Minimum (Chas), 173.94–162.50

Brian's 173.94 was the week's high score and his second consecutive 140+ performance, pushing his season average to 161.17 — the best among all four unbeaten teams by a meaningful margin. Dak Prescott (29.76) and Travis Kelce (29.60) formed the spine of a lineup where eight of ten starters cracked double digits, which is just disgusting roster discipline. Chas answered with Amon-Ra St. Brown's 35.20-point masterpiece and Jared Goff's 29.78 — genuinely elite production — but left 123.94 points on his bench, the most dead weight in the entire league this week. DJ Moore at -0.10 points started and Carson Wentz contributed 6.32 from the flex; neither should have sniffed the lineup with 123 points sitting in reserve. Brian goes 2-0 and leads the standings in total points. Chas, sitting on the league's highest season total (367.74 PF), is somehow 1-1, which is exactly the kind of absurd outcome that makes everyone in this league want to flip a table.

Chasing Championships (Jenkins) def. tRyan to Contend (RyCohan), 157.62–116.40

Jenkins made it look easy, and that's because it was — CeeDee Lamb (35.30) and Ja'Marr Chase (26.50) combined for 61.80 points while RyCohan's entire lineup totaled 116.40. Patrick Mahomes (28.98) and Chris Olave (22.60) gave Ryan something to point to, but Jordan Addison's 4.10, Makai Lemon's 1.90, and Rhamondre Stevenson's 3.60 gutted any realistic path to the upset. Jenkins' week-to-week consistency is becoming his signature: a 155.22 in Week 1 and 157.62 in Week 2 represent the tightest scoring band of any team in the league, never exploding but never cracking. Ryan is now 0-2 with a season average of 111.29, well below the 133.77 league average, and while he's been open about the rebuild, the losses are piling up faster than the picks he's collecting. Jenkins is 2-0 and has the balanced roster depth to stay there.

Big Bauls on the Table (Paul Todd) def. big nasty (Tolby), 140.72–98.86 💥 BLOWOUT

Josh Allen went nuclear — 40.82 points, the week's highest individual score at any position — and Paul Todd didn't need much else, though George Kittle (20.00) and Jalen Coker (14.60) kept the lineup from being a one-man show. Paul Todd is 2-0 with blowout wins in both weeks, which tells you something, even if his 152.42 average is the lowest of the three unbeaten squads by legitimate distance. Tolby, meanwhile, is living the commissioner's curse in high definition: Malik Nabers posted 1.10 points, Jayden Daniels was quiet at 14.74, and the lineup never found a second gear after Jaylen Waddle's 21.80-point effort. Tolby is 0-2 with a season average of 99.41 — 34 points below league average — and the white whale of a championship ring feels further away than ever. The running joke writes itself. Again. Every week.

So Girthy (Devon) def. Back in the Goodell Days (Cameron), 130.68–87.50 💥 BLOWOUT

Devon entered this matchup with momentum from a 176.50-point Week 1 performance and used it to bulldoze Cameron's still-developing roster. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 42.50-point explosion was the week's highest individual score by any non-QB, and Omarion Hampton (17.50) and Christian Watson (14.10) gave Devon legitimate supporting depth. The uncomfortable subplot: Jaxson Dart started at QB and contributed 0.80 points, meaning Tyler Shough (22.38) effectively saved the lineup from a very different conversation. Cameron's Justin Herbert managed just 7.88 points — a brutal night for the die-hard Chargers fan — and the supporting cast of Kenny Gainwell (4.50) and Alec Pierce (2.10) couldn't fill the gaps, though Cam Ward (20.02) and Tyler Warren (17.40) at least gave the scoreline some dignity. Cameron is 0-2 but took over this roster mid-collapse, rebuilt it with the precision of a lesson plan, and the talent curve is visibly improving. Devon, post-championship-game-loss, looks like a man with something to prove.

Bitch Pigeons (Justin) def. Schrack Daddy (James), 166.18–147.00

Justin, operating from eight time zones away in Prague, out-schemed the four-time champion at his own game. Jonathan Taylor's 29.20-point performance led the charge, but the real story is Justin's multi-TE architecture paying dividends: Sam LaPorta (20.20), Jake Ferguson (22.30), and Isaiah Likely (10.80) combined for 53.30 points from the tight end position alone, which is either genius or excessive, depending on your risk tolerance. James had Davante Adams drop a vintage 39.50-point game — the week's best WR performance — and James Cook added 20.90, but Bo Nix (14.12) and Devin Singletary's 0.90-point disaster at flex left the door cracked for Justin to walk through. James is 1-1, and while his trophy case stays quiet, one signature performance from his roster suggests he hasn't forgotten how this works. Justin is 1-1 and currently engineering next week's three-team blockbuster in the group chat as you read this.

SLËËP3RÇĒLL (Andy) def. Bad Brakes (Blake), 98.90–86.20

Let's be honest with each other: this was not a good football game. Both teams finished well below the 130.54 league average, and the combined score of 185.10 would rank as the lowest output for a single team in several leagues we've seen this season. Andy's Brock Purdy (28.48) was the only reason this recap isn't even more depressing, because Caleb Williams produced 7.72 points and Colston Loveland contributed 1.80 from the tight end spot. Blake, meanwhile, watched Joe Burrow (16.18) and C.J. Stroud (17.02) both start and both disappoint, while Chris Rodriguez ran for 1.30 points and Pat Bryant caught his way to 1.60. Dalton Kincaid's 26.00 was legitimate and basically irrelevant. Andy is somehow 2-0 with a 108.08 average — 26 points below league average — which means SLËËP3RÇĒLL is surviving on opponent misery rather than roster strength. Blake is 0-2, averaging 98.74 per week, and one more loss away from a very serious conversation about whether those trades actually helped.

POWER RANKINGS

1. The Caucasians (Brian, 2-0) — 173.94 this week, 161.17 average, and a roster that consistently fires from multiple positions. The standard.

2. Chasing Championships (Jenkins, 2-0) — Lamb and Chase give him a WR room that doesn't flinch. 156.42 average with a floor higher than most teams' ceilings.

3. Veteran Minimum (Chas, 1-1) — The league's highest total points (367.74) and a 1-1 record. Leaving 123.94 on the bench while losing by 11 is the most Chas outcome conceivable.

4. Big Bauls on the Table (Paul Todd, 2-0) — Back-to-back blowout wins, Josh Allen on the QB1, but a 152.42 average that hasn't fully justified the 2-0 record yet.

5. So Girthy (Devon, 1-1) — JSN's 42.50, a 176.50 Week 1 score, and a man who lost a championship game and came back sharper. The Girthmaster is dangerous.

6. Bitch Pigeons (Justin, 1-1) — Running a three-TE Ponzi scheme from Prague and somehow printing points. Jonathan Taylor is a weapon. The blockbuster trade is coming.

7. Schrack Daddy (James, 1-1) — Davante Adams went for 39.50 and James still lost. He's got the roster depth but needs alignment. Four rings says he figures it out.

8. SLËËP3RÇĒLL (Andy, 2-0) — Undefeated with a 108.08 average, which means the schedule has done more work than the roster. Purdy can't carry this alone, Andy.

9. tRyan to Contend (RyCohan, 0-2) — 111.29 average, 0-2, and a rebuild that needs the prospects to arrive before the losses compound into irrelevance.

10. big nasty (Tolby, 0-2) — Commissioner, analyst, meticulous builder. One point from Malik Nabers. The universe is taunting him specifically.

11. Bad Brakes (Blake, 0-2) — 86.20 this week, 98.74 average, and a lineup that needs more than triage. The pink shirt looms larger each week.

12. Back in the Goodell Days (Cameron, 0-2) — Inherited a wreck, rebuilt with discipline, still losing. Herbert's 7.88 wasn't the plan. The arrow points up — but it needs to point up faster.

LOOKING AHEAD

• ›

  🏆 Marquee Matchup: Brian (2-0, 161.17 avg) vs. Jenkins (2-0, 156.42 avg) is the collision the league has been circling since draft day — two unbeaten teams, two of the three highest averages, one of them taking their first loss. This is the Week 3 litmus test.

• ›

  🔥 Streak Watch: Paul Todd has now blowout-won both games and sits 2-0 with Josh Allen at QB1. If he can replicate against a real test, the "perennially almost" narrative starts to crack. The league is watching carefully.

• ›

  ⚠️ Must-Win: Tolby (0-2, 99.41 avg) and Blake (0-2, 98.74 avg) are both staring at 0-3 if Week 3 goes sideways. For Tolby especially, the commissioner cannot go 0-3 in his own league — the group chat would not survive it intact.

• ›

  💀 Revenge Game: Chas (1-1) has the league's highest point total and a roster that left 123 points on the bench this week. Whoever faces Veteran Minimum next is in genuine danger, because a motivated — or at least accidentally well-managed — Chas is a terrifying thing.

• ›

  📊 League Trend: The gap between the top and bottom of this league is not closing. The four 0-2 teams are averaging 98.60 points per week combined. The four 2-0 teams are averaging 144.46. If the top doesn't stumble and the bottom doesn't find waiver wire answers fast, this thing could be effectively over by Week 5.
