LOSER OF THE WEEK

Loser of the Week — Week 2: Derrick Henry

With 57.1% of the vote, “King” Derrick Henry was dethroned, becoming last week’s LotW after a brutal showing. Henry turned 11 carries into 23 yards with 0 receptions. The consensus first-round ADP rewarded fantasy managers with a pathetic 2.3 PPR points — a royal disaster.

FL SOCIAL HITS

Nothing screams fantasy shame like showing up to a Mets game in full clown gear, sign in hand declaring “I stink at fantasy football.” This clownshow captures every awkward cheer and side-eye - the perfect reminder that in fantasy, avoiding losing is as important as winning.

WEEKLY CHALLENGE

Week 3 — The Backup Plan

Poor Toe Burrow.

Week 2 was a bad week, from head to toe.

With injuries to major QBs, we’re left with the likes of Tyrod, Browning, Mariota, Mac, Wentz.

Oof.

If any of these guys play Week 3, we need to give their skill players a little love. Receptions for any player with a backup QB will hard to come by, so they’re now worth 3 points - regardless of whether you are a PPR league (you are now!). 

FEATURED LEAGUE

The Devious Dogs Fantasy League got up and running on the Fantasy Loser League Locker, and since then they’ve jumped right into the absurdity that is their league. Week 2 did not disappoint, with their 60+ yard field goal rule causing drama. 

FROM THE COMMUNITY

Derrick Henry owners drafted expecting a King… instead they got @Druski in shoulder pads. When you swing for royalty and land a court jester, the only thing getting crowned is your lineup with an L.

Even at their best, our fantasy heroes won’t always outshine the shadows behind them. Case in point: Bijan Robinson, whose handcuff almost whispered louder than his box score, reminding managers that sometimes the backup can feel like the better bet.

Until next time, good luck and don’t suck!
