Week 4 - Blood on the Gridiron

Alpha Elites (2-2) – 125.76 vs. Bucks 4 Life (3-1) – 150.62

This one came down to Monday night, but it wasn’t the drama Alpha Elites were hoping for.  Josh Allen continued his MVP-level tear, racking up 25.86 points and reminding everyone why he’s QB1 on the season.  Tyler Warren, the surprise TE5 so far, chipped in another strong performance with 18.3 points, while Kyler Murray kept things afloat with 18.1. The problem? Ja'marr Chase and Chase Brown fizzled with a combined 13.4, leaving the Alphas gasping.

On the other side, Bucks 4 Life looked like a machine.  Omarion Hampton bulldozed defenses for 128 yards and a score, while Bucky Irving absolutely gashed his matchup with 102 yards receiving and a TD.  Deebo Samuel kept his stat line clean (6-for-6 with a touchdown), and Garrett Wilson sealed the deal on Monday night, cementing himself as WR6 on the year.  Bucks 4 Life flexed depth and star power, making this matchup feel like a mismatch late. Alpha’s shiny new toy, Keon Coleman, only put up 6 points in his debut — not nearly enough to slow down the Bucks’ freight train.  Bucks slide up a spot into second in the standings, while Alpha lost three spots to fifth overall.

Schluch21 (2-2) – 171.46 vs. BBCmc (3-1) – 142.36

This was fireworks from the opening whistle.  Schluch21 unloaded an arsenal and dropped the second-highest score of the entire season.  George Pickens channeled prime Antonio Brown with 134 yards and 2 scores, Bijan Robinson shredded the defense with over 180 all-purpose yards and a touchdown, and Amon-Ra St. Brown was automatic — 7-for-7 with 2 trips to the endzone.  Add in Bo Nix torching secondaries with 326 yards and 3 total TDs, and Schluch looked untouchable.  BBCmc wasn’t exactly slouching.  Christian McCaffrey did CMC things with nearly 100 yards receiving and a score, Jake Ferguson continued his TE2 campaign with 17 points, and Javonte Williams quietly scored another double-digit game.  Even with solid numbers across the board, BBCmc couldn’t withstand the nuclear-level explosion Schluch21 dropped.  Schluch21 gets the biggest jump in the standings, up three spots, to fourth overall.  BBCmc still leads the standings but find themselves amongst two other teams with a 3-1 record.

Sunday We PARLAY (2-2) – 113.12 vs. Hookah (1-3) – 127.00

Hookah finally got off the mat — and in style.  Patrick Mahomes threw darts all afternoon for 4 touchdowns, Josh Jacobs put the backfield on his back with 157 total yards and 2 scores, and Matthew Stafford turned back the clock with 375 passing yards and 3 TDs.  Add in an opportunistic Pacheco touchdown, and Hookah put up their best performance of the season.  Newly acquired David Montgomery took a rest day with 1.20 points.  Sunday We PARLAY, meanwhile, had Justin Fields playing hero ball with 29.14 points — throwing and running all over the defense — but the supporting cast didn’t show.  Devon Achane came close to cracking 100 yards but didn’t find enough extra juice, while Michael Pittman found the endzone but was otherwise quiet. Outside of Fields, this squad sputtered.  Sunday drops two spots in the standings to seventh overall, while Hookah moves up to ninth.

Midnightcowboy54 (1-3) – 149.06 vs. Trust the Bozzcess (3-1) – 164.52

The heavyweight fight of the week.  Midnightcowboy54 brought real firepower: Puka Nacua continues to annihilate secondaries, this time posting 170 yards and a score en route to WR1 overall status.  DK Metcalf found his swagger with 126 and a touchdown, while Hurts and Purdy combined for 41 points. It was a strong, well-rounded performance.  Trust the Bozzcess came to swing haymakers.  Ashton Jeanty exploded for 3 touchdowns and 155 scrimmage yards, James Cook solidified his claim as the current RB1, and Emeka Egbuka finally broke through with a 100-yard day.  Baker Mayfield and Marvin Harrison rounded out the attack, and when the dust settled, Trust walked away with the third-highest score of the season and a big statement win.  Trust moves up a spot to third overall and Midnight falls two spots to eighth overall.

Griddy Griddy Bang Bang (2-2) – 158.40 vs. Stroud Boyz (1-3) – 94.82

This one wasn’t close.  Griddy Griddy Bang Bang dropped a balanced offensive onslaught that left Stroud Boyz in the dirt.  Jordan Love sliced defenses with 337 and 3 TDs, Drake London finally delivered WR1 energy with 110 and a score, and Quinshon Judkins brought a bruising 115 yards and a touchdown of his own.  Quentin Johnston, shockingly the WR4 overall so far, added another 19.8 to prove he’s not a fluke.  Stroud Boyz, meanwhile, had CJ Stroud in a controlled outing (233 yards, 2 TDs), Carson Wentz piling up empty-calorie stats in garbage time, and Jordan Addison flashing some yardage but not enough impact.  The end result: a lopsided blowout and a reminder that Stroud Boyz need more than, well, Stroud to keep up with the big boys.  Griddy moves up two spots and is right in the mix of the 2-2 crowd, but Stroud Boyz found the bottom of the rankings.

Alpha Elites (150.06) vs Sunday We PARLAY (106.28)

The champs keep rolling.  Behind a monster one-two punch of Jonathan Taylor (28.5, 165 yards, 1 TD) and Ja’Marr Chase (29.5, 14 catches, 1 TD), Alpha Elites stormed to 2-0.  Even with Joe Burrow’s turf toe dud (7.04, now on IR), the Elites never looked back.  Sunday We PARLAY flashed with Lamar Jackson’s 4 passing TDs (26.3) and Devon Achane’s 92-yard receiving clinic (22.2), but a Justin Fields concussion (5.98) stalled the comeback.  Alpha looks like the early juggernaut, PARLAY takes their first L at 1-1.

Trust the Bozzcess (125.24) vs BBCmc (181.18)

BBCmc sent shockwaves through the league with the highest score of the year, nearly breaking the all-time top 3 mark.  Rome Odunze erupted (28.3, 128 yards, 2 TDs), Javonte Williams bulldozed (22, 97 rushing + TD), and even Tua remembered how to throw (19.6).  Bozzcess cooked with James Cook (26, 132 yards, 2 TDs) and Trevor Lawrence (21.24), but when everyone on BBCmc hits double digits except Brian Thomas, there’s no stopping it.  BBCmc sits at 2-0, Bozzcess drops to 1-1.

Hookah (84.40) vs Stroud Boyz (106.04)

Not pretty, but Stroud Boyz did just enough.  Mac “Mac Attack” Jones delivered his best game in years (23.76, 279 yards, 3 TDs) alongside CJ Stroud’s steady 20, while Hookah’s stars went dark.  Patrick Mahomes, Josh Jacobs, and Cooper Kupp were the only ones to sniff double digits, and that spelled doom for Hookah’s second straight loss (0-2).  Stroud Boyz climb to 1-1.

Midnightcowboy54 (131.76) vs Schluch21 (151.22)

Midnightcowboy threw haymakers with Bryce Young (24.32), Puka Nacua (23.6, 8 catches & rushing TD), and a strong backfield showing from Saquon (16.4) and Gibbs (17.9).  But then came Amon-Ra “Sun God” St. Brown, who exploded for 34.7 points (9 catches, 115 yards, 3 TDs), the top score of Week 2.  Schluch sat Jared Goff but they said no problem as they tossed in Herbert (20.78) and Bo Nix (21.24).  Schluch21 pulled away late to even their record at 1-1, leaving Midnight still searching for a first win (0-2).

Bucks 4 Life (118.64) vs Griddy Griddy Bang Bang (133.28)

The Bucks kept it competitive with Dak Prescott’s 361-yard day (23.14) and steady double-digit outputs from Daniels, Etienne, JSN, and Bucky Irving.  But Griddy Griddy Bang Bang had the cheat code: rookie sensation Malik Nabers (33.2, 167 yards, 2 TDs).  Add in Jordan Love (20.88) and Bijan Robinson (18.3), and GGBB sealed their first win of the season, dropping Bucks 4 Life to 1-1.
