Caleb takes the chair. Conrad keeps rolling.
Caleb’s 133.68 takes the scoring crown and the sixth playoff spot. His reward is a direct meeting with Mitch, the manager he just displaced. Conrad puts up 131.72 for his sixth straight win and an 8–1 record. The defending champ is making everybody else argue about second.
Sean wins 94.26–92.22 over J-Henny, a 2.04-point escape and a third straight victory after starting 0–6. B-Dog rebounds against Jeremy, Lars rolls past Dakota, and Chris handles Mitch to move into second. Four weeks remain. The group chat should be unbearable.
Four weeks. Six chairs.
Conrad leads at 8–1, with Chris second at 7–2. Lars, Brennan and Jeremy are all 6–3, ordered by points. Caleb reclaims sixth at 5–4, one game ahead of Mitch. Sean and J-Henny are 3–6; Cody, Brad and Dakota are 2–7. Four regular-season games remain before the Week 14 playoffs.
Caleb leads Mitch by one win and 10.20 season points. A Mitch victory would tie their records and make the points race matter immediately. At the top, Chris and Lars meet while Brennan takes on Conrad.

Sean has won three straight, but Yahoo sees a near toss-up. Dakota needs a response after a 63.86-point week.
Cody’s Brussel Sprouts vs Silver Alert
Two 2–7 teams, one chance to stop the slide. Cody has the points edge in the standings; Brad has the early projection edge.

Week 8 coverage, Week 9 previews and November 3 FantasyPros snapshot
Sean stays hot. Mitch moves in.
Two straight scoring crowns for Sean. Five straight wins for Conrad. A new name above the playoff cut line.
The rocket has a second stage.
Sean started 0–6. Two weeks later, nobody should be penciling in a win against sandyrocket. His 124.56–96.88 victory over Brennan delivers a second straight scoring crown and lifts him to ninth. B-Dog got 24.70 from Brock Bowers, but Sean answered with Drake Maye’s 22.46, Braelon Allen’s 22.30 and Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s 20.80. The league’s former easy punchline has started writing his own material.
Dakota supplied the week’s biggest margin: Murfstyle beat JHENNY 92.06–55.98, ending a five-game losing streak. J-Henny has now lost two straight, and 55.98 is the sort of total that makes the group chat suddenly very interested in your lineup.
Mitch won the closest game, 118.00–112.42 over Lars, to end his three-game slide and claim sixth. Conrad beat Caleb 113.16–93.38 for win number five in a row. Chris rebounded against Cody, 122.20–87.98, while Jeremy handled Brad 111.62–99.68 and moved into second.
Five weeks. Six chairs.
Conrad leads at 7–1, with Jeremy and Chris at 6–2. Lars and Brennan are 5–3. Mitch takes sixth at 4–4, ahead of Caleb on points; J-Henny is one game back at 3–5. Five regular-season games remain before the Week 14 playoffs.
Mitch leads Caleb by just 18.60 season points. Their identical records make every point meaningful. Four teams are 2–6; Sean’s recent surge proves they can still change somebody else’s season even as their own margin for error shrinks.
FantasyPros gives Conrad better than 99% playoff odds, Brennan 85%, Mitch 80% and Caleb 56%. J-Henny’s 3% outlook shows how much the model dislikes his remaining path despite his better record than the four teams below him.
Power rankings & playoff chances.
Brennan remains second in roster power despite falling to fifth in the standings. Mitch is third in power and now holds sixth; Caleb is fourth in power but sits just outside the playoff places.

Yahoo current-lineup projections checked November 3. Lineups and projections can change.
Fennel Cake Mafia vs WARREN J REGULATORS
B-Dog needs a rebound; Jeremy has won two straight. The early projection favors Brennan, but second place belongs to the Regulators.
JHENNY vs sandyrocket
Sean has gone from winless to dangerous in two weeks. J-Henny needs to stop a two-game slide before the playoff chase gets away.
Cracker of the league #CTESPN vs Silver Alert
Conrad brings five straight wins. Brad is last on the points tiebreaker, but the projection leaves room for a league-shaking result.
Murfstyle vs Air Raid Lars
Dakota just ended his losing streak with the biggest Week 8 win. Lars needs a response after falling to Mitch; Yahoo sees a close fight.
Cody’s Brussel Sprouts vs KLuv Thy Nabers
Caleb has lost two straight and slipped below the cut line. Cody owns the early edge, making lineup decisions especially important for K-Luv.
Kakaw Alert ! vs R.I.P. to the Bird
Game of the Week: Mitch holds sixth by 18.60 points over Caleb. Chris is 6–2, and less than one projected point separates these two.
October 27 coverage · Week 7 results and Week 8 previews (archived)
Sean launches. Cody survives.
Conrad stands alone at 6–1. Six Week 7 finals, six Week 8 previews, a fresh playoff outlook—and a salute to Milwaukee.
Sean finds the launch button.
Six losses had made sandyrocket an easy punchline. Then Sean put up 138.34, beat Brad’s Silver Alert 94.58 and took both the weekly scoring crown and biggest blowout. A 1–6 record still demands a long climb, but Brennan’s Week 8 opponent suddenly looks a lot less accommodating.
Cody supplied the opposite kind of drama: an 84.82–83.90 escape over Mitch. A margin of 0.92 is enough to win a matchup and ruin somebody’s Tuesday. Mitch has now lost three straight. Conrad beat Chris 128.10–109.02 to take sole possession of first at 6–1, while Lars’ 127.52–86.50 win over J-Henny moved him into second.
Brennan handled Dakota 88.82–77.62, and Jeremy edged Caleb 114.46–106.88. Dakota’s fifth straight loss and J-Henny’s 3–4 record add urgency to their Week 8 meeting. Sean’s first win is the week’s biggest turnaround; without verified pregame odds, we are not assigning an official upset ranking.
A leader, a logjam, and the bubble.
Conrad’s 6–1 team is the pace-setter. Four teams sit one game back: Lars, Brennan, Jeremy and Chris. Nobody in that group has secured anything, but each has built room for a bad Sunday.
Caleb holds sixth at 4–3; Mitch and J-Henny are one win behind. That makes Conrad–Caleb and Mitch–Lars the pressure games this week. Cody and Brad, both 2–5, need wins before the math starts doing the trash talking. Sean and Dakota are 1–6: still playing, still dangerous, and running out of runway.
Power rankings & playoff chances.
Conrad leads both the standings and scoring race. Lars and Brennan round out the scoring top three; Mitch’s points total still argues for a stronger team than his 3–4 record. Jeremy’s fifth win buys breathing room.

The decimal-point controversy.
J-Henny escapes by 2.38. B-Dog intends to contest the result—in the court of league trash talk. Below: the full rivalry report, all six finals, Week 7 previews and FantasyPros power rankings with playoff chances.
The grievance desk is open.
STOP THE COUNT: B-Dog contests J-Henny’s 2.38-point escape
Official final: JHENNY 84.68, Fennel Cake Mafia 82.30.
The commissioner won by 2.38 points. Naturally, B-Dog has decided this is a constitutional crisis.
After watching J-Henny creep past Fennel Cake Mafia in the week’s closest finish, Brennan is accusing his co-host of rigging the fantasy-football universe and announcing his intention to contest the result. His case currently rests on three devastating facts: John is the commissioner, John won, and Brennan would have preferred a different outcome.
The proposed investigation will examine every suspicious decimal, demand a hand recount of all 2.38 points, and determine whether the commissioner’s office has a secret button labeled “just enough.” The league’s imaginary evidence room presently contains a screenshot, a wounded ego, and absolutely no proof.
The actual football evidence
Jonathan Taylor’s 20.10 and Matthew Stafford’s 16.88 anchored J-Henny, while Trey Smack supplied 12.00 from the kicker spot. For the Mafia, Jayden Daniels delivered 21.00, Chris Olave 12.30, J.K. Dobbins 12.10 and Tetairoa McMillan 11.60. Bijan Robinson’s 6.30 left Brennan little margin for error. Those are real points; the conspiracy board is strictly decorative.
J-Henny’s 84.68 was only the eighth-highest score in the league this week. He would have lost to seven other teams. Unfortunately for Brennan, the schedule assigned him the one opponent who only needed 82.31 to ruin his week. That is fantasy football at its most personal.
The protest moves to the podcast
Brennan’s planned appeal seeks a recount, an explanation, and enough microphone time to make everyone regret asking. No formal league appeal has been filed by this website, and no response has been attributed to John. The commissioner may have to defend the result on the next show; the scoreboard has already made its position clear.
J-Henny moves to 3–3. Brennan falls to 4–2 and remains third. Week 7 sends the Mafia to Murfstyle and J-Henny to Air Raid Lars. Until an actual Yahoo stat correction says otherwise, the win belongs to John. The complaining rights belong to B-Dog.
Power rankings & playoff chances.
Roster strength and playoff position tell different stories. Cody is No. 4 in power but has only a 16% playoff chance after a 1–5 start. Chris is No. 5 in power with an 88% chance thanks to his 5–1 record. Brennan remains No. 2 in power despite the narrow loss.

All six completed Yahoo results checked October 20. Stat corrections may still apply through Thursday.
Fennel Cake Mafia vs JHENNY
J-Henny wins the week’s closest game by 2.38 and reaches 3–3. Brennan falls to 4–2; the league desk has received an extremely unofficial protest.
Cracker of the league #CTESPN vs Kakaw Alert !
Conrad wins his third straight and stays first at 5–1. Mitch slips to 3–3 after a second straight loss.
Murfstyle vs Silver Alert
Brad wins by 35.46 for his second straight victory. Dakota’s fourth straight loss leaves him at 1–5.
Cody’s Brussel Sprouts vs Air Raid Lars
Lars stops his two-game slide and moves to 4–2. Cody falls to 1–5 despite another triple-digit score.

R.I.P. to the Bird vs WARREN J REGULATORS
Chris joins Conrad at 5–1 with a third straight win. Jeremy’s three-game streak ends with the league’s lowest score.
A fight for first. No room to coast.

Fennel Cake Mafia vs Murfstyle
Brennan needs to turn the page on a 2.38-point loss. Dakota has lost four straight, but Yahoo sees almost nothing between them. FantasyPros also gives Murfstyle the early edge: 57.1% to 42.9%, with current-lineup projections of 96.27–90.83.
JHENNY vs Air Raid Lars
J-Henny escaped with 84.68; Lars rebounded with 116.52. Can the commissioner follow his narrow win with another upset?
Cracker of the league #CTESPN vs R.I.P. to the Bird
First meets second, both riding three-game winning streaks. Conrad owns a 130.08-point season scoring edge, but the Week 7 projection is almost even. The winner takes the outright record lead.
Cody’s Brussel Sprouts vs Kakaw Alert !
Cody has faced a league-high 752.60 points and needs a win urgently. Mitch has dropped two straight; another loss would erase his winning-record cushion entirely.
KLuv Thy Nabers vs WARREN J REGULATORS
Caleb brings the weekly scoring crown and three straight wins. Jeremy just scored 65.94, but Yahoo separates these 4–2 teams by only 0.38. A direct test on the playoff cut line.
sandyrocket vs Silver Alert
Brad has won two straight after an 0–4 start. Sean is still searching for win No. 1; stopping the league’s late-blooming comeback story would be a good place to begin.
League history & earlier receipts
September 30 · B-Dog lands Saquon
Fennel Cake Mafia acquired Saquon Barkley and Michael Pittman Jr. Jeremy’s then-team, SAQUON THESE NUTS, received Jaylen Warren and Adonai Mitchell. The original joke: he traded away the player his team was named after. That question now has an answer: WARREN J REGULATORS.
Week 3 recap · One unbeaten, one title fight
Air Raid Lars beat Silver Alert 94.26–81.26 to stand alone at 3–0. SAQUON THESE NUTS edged Cracker 114.68–112.64. Kakaw Alert ! crushed Murfstyle 136.04–74.86. Fennel Cake Mafia beat KLuv Thy Nabers 143.30–117.14; JHENNY beat R.I.P. to the Bird 86.32–67.64; Cody’s Brussel Sprouts beat sandyrocket 121.08–106.78.
The Week 4 preview then highlighted Conrad’s shot at the unbeaten Lars. That game is now part of the earlier-season record.
