Like the esteemed wordsmith Project Pat once said, "you gotta take the good with the bad" and that's just what the long anticipated opening week delivered to us on the pixel gridiron. We had an interesting first game across the league in many ways and after all the early chatter about how low nfl/fantasy scoring was in week 1, our league median score ended up 102.75ppg, which is just 0.11ppg lower than the 2024 season and no where close to our all time week 1 low in 2023 of 94.2ppg.
Now, the good, bad, and ugly of week 1…

It seems natural that we should give the first shout out to the Big Jefe Of The Week, FC Luke, who not only survived the classic CMC “will he/won’t he play?” pregame heart palpitations, but then went on to reach team high score of the week crushing FC Tyler 136.12 vs 104.42. As any good ol’ brotherly rivalry tends to go, they’ve had a very even matchup through the years, but this victory nudges little big brother FC Luke ahead in their all time series.
All time: Luke 5 - Tyler 4
After finally breaking FC Nathaniel’s 5 game win streak last season, FC Eric needed just 7.96 points on MNF from Adam Thielen against his own beloved Chicago Bears, but was left disappointed to both see Minnesota’s 4th quarter comeback, and lose their own game 105.72 vs 99.76 after only 2pts from Thielen. All time: Nate 5 - Eric 1
In a battle for Western PA bragging rights, league newcomer, FC Lizwe, got off to a strong start with their #1 draft pick, Bijan Robinson, scoring 24.4pts in a 12.86pt win against 2018 inaugural season champion FC Matt, 108.81 - 95.94.
All time: Lizwe 1 - Matt 0

FC Zane 🌭 set a new land speed league record for earliest week to not roster a full team and unsurprisingly their team did not fare well against the Colorado Kids, FC Nicholas. With a final score of 109.58 - 71.12, the 38.46pt margin of victory was the largest of the week and promptly positions FC Zane into early competition for this season’s coal bin Champion with a league low week score of 71.12pts. 👚🪨👚 All time: Nicholas 6 - Zane 6
