(Tier 1) The Cooper Troopers (1) stand alone at the top of the rankings this week after barely squeaking past Strauss this week. Cooper went into Monday night winning by only 65 points, but thanks to 55 points between Kelce and Adams he was able to hold on. People are wondering if after marriage this team is being run by Jamie now. There is no other way to explain the dominance of the Troopers to start the season. He is undefeated and has scored the by far the most points in the league so far. This is even with some key injuries to start the year. He added another injury this week losing Penny. Luckily for Cooper, he not only has the top starting team, but also one of the deepest teams in the league.
(Tier 2) With MN Moose Knuckles (2) loss this week, he joins the crowded Tier 2 full of teams that all have a chance to compete for the NFL Championship. The Knuckles had a good week but ran into a Las Cabras (5) team that was feeling as good as Trevor on the 14th hole of golf. Las Cabras have two great QBs and a very complete team but is hurt by the injury to Williams.
“All Wait ‘Til Next Year' (7) does is win” is what I was going to say before Monday night. In what was a very fun game to the casual watcher, was a brutal watch for Kyle. He lost Darren Waller to a hamstring just 6 snaps into the game and watched a TD to CEH got overturned at the half yard line. This lead to a loss which puts Kyle 2 games back in the division. The SG Choppers (4) finally caught a break. They needed this win after a couple of tough losses. Mahomes, Hurts, and McCaffrey is a trio that will keep the Choppers in most games.
People are wondering if it was actually voodoo that Jimmy was putting on The Pullies (3) as they came out firing this week scoring a league high 166 points. They now have the 2nd most points in the league and have a very dangerous duo in Jefferson and Diggs. If Breece Hall continues to play like this The Pullies could be dangerous. $traight Cash Homie (7) had a rough week losing his 3rd game in a row. To add to the pain was injuries to both of his starting running backs and Tyreek Hill in a walking boot after the game. The good news is none of the injuries seem to be significant, but every loss for this group is significant as they fight for the last of the 6 playoff spots.
(Tier 3) Don’t look now but Wins Up Doc (8) may have found another infinity stone for his gauntlet in Geno Smith. The Dr. managed to score another high week and all of a sudden has a team that looks dangerous. Saquon is back to his old self and the pervert will be back just in time for the playoffs. As Doc goes up, Sporty Strauss (9) goes down scoring by far the worst this week with a measly 64 points. People are wondering if married life is distracting him from fantasy football. Until Dak comes back, Strauss has by far the worst QB play in the league.
Welcome to the win column, DTC Porkchop Express (11). Craig’s team looks to get even better as the stock is up now for Melvin Gordon and Jeff Wilson has played great. The BamO’s (10) has another bad week this week. To make matters worse is the news the Wilson has an injured shoulder. Maybe this is good news to BamO’s as it hopefully explains why Russell Wilson has looked so awful. Sam went into the year looking strong at the QB position with Rodgers and Wilson, but both have been strongly disappointing so far. To round out the group is Ornery Otters (12). Not much has gone right for the Otters so far this year. Stafford has been bad, Wilson refuses to throw to Jeudy, Wentz has McLaurin struggling, and Michael Thomas is always hurt. Still, the Otters have a lot of talent and get Hopkins back soon. They can definitely make a little run or play spoiler this year.
Week 4 High Score
Cooper Troopers (Cooper)
181 points
Notes: Cooper Troopers (1) showed his dominance on the league by beating the former LoL champion by over 100. Even with Tua and Swift out and Penny getting hurt early in the game, the Troopers still point up the high score of the week.
Week 4 Low Score
Sporty Strauss (Michael)
77 points
Notes: After a couple of wins, Sporty Strauss was slammed back to reality with a horrible game. His 77 points looks better than it was thanks to a 15 point game from kick Daniel Carlson on Monday night.
Week 4 MVP
Patrick Mahomes
SG Choppers (Dye)
30 points
Notes: Jordan was potentially a bad Mahomes game away from never playing fantasy again. Thankfully he got the opposite. Mahomes led a massive comeback against Kyle with 4 TD passes to Kelce. There was a lot of great performances this week, but none as important as Mahomes to the Choppers.
Week 4 LVP
Clyde Edwards-Helaire
Wait Til’ Next Year (Kyle)
5 points
Notes: This was a tight battle between a few of Kyle’s players. Darren Waller’s injury was just extremely unlucky. The duo of Cam Akers and CEH really hurt an otherwise great week from Kyle. Cam Akers continues to be one of the most surprising disappointments, and CEH had a lot of touches stolen from him by McKinnon. I went with CEH here because losing a Monday night lead just hurts more.
