🏟 Matchups

The Many-Faced Squad (210.04) def. Boom Goes The Dynamite (185.09)

The Many-Faced Squad rolled out a deep, consistent lineup. While no single player hit 30, the balance across positions told the story. The IDPs did the heavy lifting: one lineman racked up 23.25, while another chipped in 25.0. Add in reliable WR production (19.4 and 19.0), and Boom simply couldn’t keep up despite pushing past 180.

White Center Rats (176.31) def. Baby Back Gibbs (160.58)

In a battle of AFC contenders, the Rats leaned on defensive muscle. A DL explosion of 29.0 proved the difference, while steady play from the QB spot (20.3) set the pace. Gibbs, who looked unstoppable last week, couldn’t replicate the fireworks—no one cracked 20 outside of one RB. The Rats move to 2–1 and show they can win even in a slugfest.

The OG Champ (192.48) def. Premature EJeantylation (148.25)

The OG Champ’s linebackers came to eat. 27.75 and 18.5 from the LB corps swung this matchup early, and a DL contribution of 20.5 sealed it. Premature EJeantylation’s struggles continued—despite double-digit efforts from several starters, no true game-breaker emerged. At 0–3, Premature is searching for answers.

Gimp Squad (210.47) def. Lickety Splitz Squad (164.93)

The defending powerhouse Splitz Squad finally got humbled. Gimp Squad unleashed a defensive clinic: LB 27.25 plus a secondary star with 22.0 helped crack the 210 barrier. Add in a WR with 21.1, and it was a complete rout. Splitz, who rode a record 244 last week, looked mortal with only one player topping 20. A reality check loss, but they’re still 2–1.

Strokin McConkey (196.59) def. Hit and Ruggs (182.92)

A battle of big offenses ended with McConkey’s QB erupting for 29.12 and a linebacker smashing in 27.25. That high floor kept them safe even as Hit and Ruggs found life, with two players topping 18 and several others in double digits. Ruggs showed fight, but at 0–3, it’s moral victories only for now.

Love Hurts 🦿😬 (217.46) def. Prestige Worldwide (203.82)

This was the Game of the Week. Love Hurts rolled out a QB masterpiece (29.04), a defensive lineman with 22.25, and two flex plays topping 18. Prestige wasn’t far behind—WR 31.3 and a TE with 21.5 kept it close—but depth won out. Prestige becomes the rare 200-point loser, while Love Hurts plants themselves firmly in the contender conversation.
