MLBPPWORLD FANTASY WEEK 4 RECAP:Team Griffith (jag123jg)
127.54One Man Revolution (GoTwins24)
110.68Summary:Team Griffith won the rematch of the 2023-24 championship. They got off to a great start Thursday night, with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Wan'Dale Robinson all either nearing or surpassing their projections. The game was somewhat close in the Noon window, but Team Griffith pulled away in the afternoon window. Jordan Mason has been the late-round gem of the season so far, as he made the difference by scoring 23. Travis Kelce was also better than he has been so far in 2024 with 12 points. The only disappointments for Team Griffith were Rhamondre Stevenson and Travis Etienne. Those two will need their offenses to play better for them to be better options, but if they can do so, they'll be contenders again. One Man Revolution was looking to be in good shape, but cracks are starting to show. They are now dealing with injuries to Cooper Kupp, Malik Nabers, Jonathan Taylor, and minor injuries to Diontae Johnson and Devin Singletary. But it wasn't injuries that cost them this week, it was rather their decision to play Devin Singletary over D'Andre Swift, which cost them 22 points and the game. Kyler Murrary was a pretty signficiant disappointment with 9 points. One Man Revolution seems likely to fall to 3-2, and the good vibes from a 3-0 start may soon be gone.
Detroit Phantoms (DTigers115)
150.36Chattini FC (Glassy)
86.7Summary:After an unlucky 0-2 start, the Phantoms appear to be firing on all cylinders. Jordan Love's return to the lineup has been key for them, as he led the way with 28. In turn, Jayden Reed returned to his Week 1 form by scoring 23.6. Nico Collins, in part because of Tank Dell's injury, dominated with 27 points. These performances put the Phantoms in comfortable position, and Kyren Williams, Ja'Marr Chase, and James Conner were rock-solid. The main negative news was the injury to Rashee Rice. Had Rice stayed healthy, the Phantoms would have crossed the 160-point mark. This will be tough long-term, but the Phantoms should still be in good shape with Jordan Love healthy. Chattini FC lost their first game of the season due to some uncharacteristic performances. The Jets' offensive struggles sunk them, with Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson combining for a mere 6 points. Josh Allen was also shockingly bad with just 7 points. At TE, Mike Gesicki was a worse choice than starting nobody, as he actually lost his team points. Aaron Jones and Brian Robinson could not save their team from falling to 3-1. But with One Man Revolution heavily injured, they should be able to get to 4-1.
Jahmyr Gibbs' Positional Value (Dishnet34)
87North Pole Narwhals (AnthonyP)
86.9Summary:Jahmyr Gibbs' Positional Value won in a thriller/Monday Night Miracle. They have their namesake, Jahmyr Gibbs, to thank, as Gibbs dropped 19.8 Monday night. This was enough to beat out the Narwhals by a half of a point. CJ Stroud was also fundamental in the win with a 23.5 point outing. Tre Tucker was also solid, surpassing expectations with a 12.5-point game. But the game was this close due to some terrible outings- mainly from Carson Steele, Rome Odunze, and Quentin Johnson. However, the team has so many injuries that just surviving this week is a positive, and they are now 2-2. The Narwhals are 0-4, but could have easily been 2-2 without some horrible luck on Monday night games. Alvin Kamara was once again the team leader with 21.4. But everyone else was a let-down. Patrick Mahomes has been poor this year, and he continued that trend by scoring just 13. Calvin Ridley, Ezekiel Elliot, and Tyler Lockett have also cooled. DJ Moore also has not had the best chemistry with Caleb Williams. If the Narwhals are going to make a miraculous turnaround, they will need to see major improvements from key contributors.
Mahomes on the Range (Lancer)
154.34Nick's No Autopicks (PhilliesFan134)
104.22Summary:Mahomes on the Range improved to 3-1 and are one of the hottest teams in the league. Derrick Henry was a great pick in the first round, and he delivered a vintage 34-point performance. Lamar Jackson also benefitted from Henry and scored 23. Tony Pollard has also had a bounceback 2024 in a new situation, and he scored 17 Monday night. Also, San Francisco's defense dominated with 27 points against a terrible NE offense. Tucker Kraft also emerged as a potential sleeper at TE, scoring 14 points this week. With Derrick Henry dominating, Mahomes on the Range will be a scary team to face. Nick's No Autopicks has cooled down in the past few weeks. Their top three was strong, with Jalen Hurts, Zack Moss, and Chuba Hubbard all scoring over 15. There may be some concerns, however, with Zack Moss due to Chase Brown's emergence. However, what has hurt them the most has been Miami's sputtering offense. Tyreek Hill and De'Von Achane combined for just 10 points, which is simply not good enough given their draft position. With those two, it may be about biding their time until Tua Tagovailoa returns. The team has a couple interesting offense on the bench, which may be their best chance to bounce back.
Goddells Security Team (BaseballTeen9500)
144.1Atomic Pickles (AgentP)
95.18Summary:Gooddells Security Team is bouncing back from a rough 2023 with a 3-1 start. Kenneth Walker and David Montgomery are an impressive RB core, combining for 45 this week. Also, Chris Olave and Amon-Ra St. Brown are also a solid WR duo, combining for just under 30. If they can get 70 points out of their top 4 RBs and WRs, they will put themselves in a position to win every time. Their flex position was also decent with McLaurin and Jennings combining for just under 25. At 3-1, Goodells Security Team has one of the best all-around rosters in the league and are ready to compete. The Atomic Pickles fell to 2-2 in a disappointing loss. Justin Jefferson and Joe Burrow were their only good performers, as they scored just over 15. Every other position player struggled, especially James Cook (who scored a shocking 5 points), Brock Bowers, and Zay Flowers. Zamir White was also poor with just three. If the Pickles are going to challenge for the playoffs, they will need more consistency from several key players.
Teiyo Tomozawas (MUFFINZ)
112.92Wesley All Stars (Wesley)
108.98Summary:The Tomozawas won a much-needed game, although it was closer than they would have liked. Jayden Daniels has been one of the steals of the draft, and he backed up that reputation with 24 points. Mike Evans also bounced back with 19, and Ladd McConskey has been a sleeper- scoring 15 this week. Evan McPherson has also been solidly consistent, and he scored 13 this week. However, they will need more from their RBs, as none scored over 10, and Kyle Pitts completely ghosted with a goose-egg. Still, they needed to get this one even if it was close. Wesley All Stars fell to a heartbreaking 0-4 in a rough loss. Justin Fields tried to will his team to the win with 31 points, but his heroic effort fell short. Justice Hill also benefitted from garbage time to score 18. The team's RB room is certainly rough, so to lose with 18 points from Justice Hill is far from ideal. Rookies Xavier Worthy and Marvin Harrison, Jr. performed well. Worthy will also see more opportunities with Rashee Rice out. The team is desperate now at 0-4, and may need to get aggressive to secure their first win.
