BRAGGING RIGHTS💪
Tommy Pham Was Right didn't just beat Asterisky Business - they woke up and chose violence. Their matchup (191.55pts to 101.2pts) was the biggest win of the season so far, with a whopping 90.35ptsdifference! 😂 😂
SHARP-SHOOTER🎯
Take a bow, The Fugees. You led the league this week with a 95.7% accuracy score!
Week 4 is in the books and fall is officially in the air. The fight with your significant other over who gets the best throw blanket for the rest of the season should be over soon (spoiler alert: you’re gonna lose) and your budgeting software of choice is yelling at you about your Pumpkin Spice Latte consumption. Your best financial bet to free up some slack in the budget is by no longer throwing in bets on the Bears to cover because "they're due".
That brings us to this week where, surprise surprise, the Bears collapsed in the fourth quarter against the second worst team in the NFL, the Broncos. In last week's Fantasy Genius preview, we asked if it would be smart to start either the Broncos D or Justin Fields. As it turns out, the answer is…both! Fields tore up the Denver D in the first three quarters but was also generous enough to gift them a scoop 'n score halfway through the fourth.
The moral of this story is that when either Denver or Chicago is involved -- you need to start whoever is playing them. Fire up the Commanders D & Brian Robinson this week if you can. And look for Zach Wilson, surely on the waiver wire, to continue to improve against Vance Joseph and the boys.

The elements of a good pillow fight are simple. The softest pillows you can find on clearance at Bed Bath & Beyond. Soft landing spots in the off chance that someone loses their balance. And most of all, two terrible teams who understand that fantasy football is all about fun and strengthening the bonds of friendship. And boy, did Time Ticklers and The Jellyfish Collector fit the bill. Together, they smiled and giggled their way to a total of 226.57 points, with Time Ticklers reluctantly claiming victory. But at the end of the day, does winning really matter? Not to these two. This entire league could learn something from Time Ticklers and The Jellyfish Collector about the way to live a balanced and fulfilling life based on love and mutual respect. These two have the game of life figured out — fantasy football, not so much.
Asterisky Business treated themselves to some Fantasy-Life balance this week, as they absolutely rolled over against Tommy Pham Was Right. In one of the few examples of a time when an early congratulations text may have been warranted, Tommy Pham Was Right took this matchup by a staggering 90.35 points. Hopefully, Asterisky Business took the opportunity to take most of the weekend off to refresh and recharge their batteries. It's still early in the season, and even though this week's performance was not promising, there's still theoretically time to turn this sinking ship around. For Tommy Pham Was Right, try to stay humble, keep your feet on the ground (though a blowout of this magnitude can make that difficult), or else you risk coming down with a case of Week 4 Dolphins.

Week in, week out, the Fantasy Genius power rankings reveal the truth of this league, laying out the (sometimes harsh) reality of who’s a contender and who’s a pretender. Let’s give a quick shoutout to The Fugees for biding their time in the #2 slot, like a thoroughbred ready to turn on the GAS down the homestretch. This team is dangerous. Then we've got Team Butt. These guys are the Oatmeal Raisins in the Chewy Bar variety pack of this league. Only valuable because they’re graced by the presence of Peanut Butter Choclate Chip, aka Tommy Pham Was Right.

Week 4 Stud 💪
Christian McCaffrey
RB - Tommy Pham Was Right
+34 pts vs median RB
45.2 points
This week's MVP, awarded to the player who was the biggest statistical outlier for their position goes to Christian McCaffrey. This man went off for a total of 45.2 points, a total of 34 points better than the median RB. Tommy Pham Was Right used him to take this week’s matchup against Asterisky Business, who caught a tough break playing against the MVP. Life ain't fair and the world is mean.
Week 4 Dud 👎
Kenny Pickett
QB - the griddy comittee
-13.6 pts vs median QB
3.5 points
For the first time in recorded science, defying all known laws of biology, a donkey has laid an egg. Kenny Pickett chose this week to put down an absolutely pathetic 3.5 points. A lackluster performance like this can be the difference between a win and loss for your squad and can cause longstanding trust issues. the griddy comittee fortunately survived this garbage outing and still got the win over My Kupp Runneth Empty. Regardless, the rumor mill is heating up, as the griddy comittee may be looking to sell this asset before their value falls off a cliff. Or maybe they think he’ll right the ship. Either way, people are talking.
