Week 15
Kickin' Back Old School
The KrawmissionerDec 10, 2024, 4:51 PM ET

Let’s kick back, to the 90s, when accuracy mattered and distance wasn’t even in the conversation. This week, inaccuracy is absolutely penalized with extreme prejudice.

The Stakes
Your choice for what works for your league. Our recommended options for this week, but as always, feel free to cook up your own.
- Option 1
  90s Kick Back
  Loser has to kick back to the 90s, wearing the most 90’s gear possible for an entire day. Starter jacket, Zubaz pants, oversized JNCO jeans with holes in the knees, red Yankees hat, you name it. League can decide who picks out the kit.
- Option 2
  Pay Up
  Loser can either pay the difference in his score to the winner at a $2 per point rate, or can choose to kick ten 35-yard field goals. If they make 80%, they are clear. Anything below 8/10 and they have to double the amount they owe the winner above.
Week 14
Real Dual Threats
The KrawmissionerDec 3, 2024, 6:49 PM ET

Huge props to the real dual threats out there. Anyone who can score a TD in several ways gets our respect, so we’re repping the dual threat players this week. It’s simple - if a player has a TD in more than one way (e.g. rushing and receiving or passing and rushing) then they qualify, and their points would then be counted.TOTAL FANTASY POINTS FOR DUAL THREAT PLAYERSFantasy team with the most dual threat player fantasy points this week wins. Team with the least dual threat fantasy points this week loses.

- Option 1
  Winner's Lackey
  The dual threat loser has to be the winner’s lackey, in two ways. Maybe he picks up your son from soccer practice and puts up the Christmas lights on your house. Or has to cook your family dinner and then do the dishes. Winner’s choice.
- Option 2
  Two-Leg Parlay
  Loser makes a two-leg parlay bet for the winner, betting the over on both Josh Allen INT and sacks for this weekend’s game against the Rams
Week 13
Take On Saquon
The KrawmissionerNov 27, 2024, 1:05 PM ET

Give thanks for being able to witness the absurdity that has been Saquon Barkley’s season this year. If he’s on your team, real or fantasy, you had a damn good week watching him run and catch his way to over 300 yards.Be like Saquon, you get the hallowed turkey leg. Be like the mess in northern Jersey he skipped away from, you get the dry ass white meat.Take on Saquon. He went for 302 all-purpose yards last week, and while we don’t expect any one of your guys to do that, let’s see if TWO of your RBs can combine to do what he did himself last week.RB1 + RB2 RUSHING & RECEIVING YARDSThink of it as an over/under. Any team whose RBs combine for under 302 yards is a loser. Any team above 302 is a winner. There will be multiple winners and multiple losers this week.

- Option 1
  Soup Kitchen
  erhaps as a bit of foreshadowing, Saquon handed out 300 turkeys at the Bronx River Community House last year for Thanksgiving. Inspired by that, all of this week’s losers (there will be multiple) must volunteer at a soup kitchen next week for an hour or two.
- Option 2
  Group Bet
  Losers each put in $20 for a group bet for either the Lions or Cowboys (LOL) to win the Super Bowl. If it hits, all of this week’s winners split the winnings.
Week 12
How 'Bout Them Cowboys!
The KrawmissionerNov 21, 2024, 8:44 AM ET

Since the Cowboys are trainwrecking with only two functional players, let’s see if you can win with just those positions. We’re talking WR1 receptions and kicker field goals this week in a simple formula. WR1 RECEPTIONS + KICKER TOTAL FG MADEThe team with the lowest combined WR1 receptions and KICKER field goals loses. The team with the most combined WR1 receptions and kicker field goals wins. If there’s a tie, the kicker with the longest kick this week wins it for his fantasy manager.

  Clown
  Loser who may or may niot have cever clowned on kickers, must go out to a local field and can't leave until they make at least five NFL extra points (33-yeard distance) or at least one 40-yard field goal - the distance Aubrey missed when Jerry's field exploded under his foot.
- Option 2
  Not Dak's Fault
  Since none of this is Dak's fault, let's support him while he's out hurt. And more importantly, let's support his cause. Loser makes a donation of $20+ in the winner's name to Dak's charity (faithfightfinish.org).
Week 11
All About the D
The KrawmissionerNov 13, 2024, 10:58 AM ET

It’s all about the D this week. The defense/special teams that has the most combined sacks and turnovers created wins. The D/ST formula is simple:SACKS + FUMBLES RECOVERED + INTERCEPTIONSTeam with the lowest combined number this week loses. Team with the highest combined number wins.

Week 10
Making Sense of Election Math
The KrawmissionerNov 5, 2024, 2:19 PM ET

With the Electoral College as our inspo, we're applying logic that uses a disproportionate representation from your roster, creating a formula only a beautiful mind could appreciate. Calculate this ridiculous formula for each fantasy team. Numerator divided by denominator. For our slower folk, top divided by bottom.(QB1 PASSING YARDS) x (RB1+RB2 RECEPTIONS)--------------------------------------------------1 + (QB1 INTERCEPTIONS) + (RB1+RB2 FUMBLES)Team with the lowest combined number this week loses.

- Option 2
  Tax Cuts
  Tax cuts, havens, and loopoles for the upper class. The rich get richer. Winner gets 25% of their league dues paid by the loser.
Week 9
Cooking up the Run, Pass, Catch
The KrawmissionerOct 29, 2024, 8:08 PM ET

The David Montgomery. While he did find paydirt twice, we’re more impressed with gaining yardage every way except the return game (why not let him return a punt, brah?). Track each team's combined passing, rushing, and receiving yards for a combined yardage for the entire fantasy team. ALL PLAYERS PASSING YARDS + ALL PLAYERS RUSHING YARDS + ALL PLAYERS RECEIVING YARDSTeam with the lowest combined yardage this week loses. Team with highest combined yardage wins.

The Stakes
Your choice for what works for your league. Our recommended options for this week, but as always, feel free to cook up your own.
- Option 1
  Yard Work
  Loser has to gain his own yardage, doing yard work in costume for a day. Raking leaves as Freddy Kreuger can be funny and scary to neighbors! (Spice it up... loser does the yard work for the winner. Every hundred yards of differential between scores equals 1 hour).
- Option 2
  Yardage Prop
  Yardage prop bets. Loser places a $20 yardage prop bet based on one of David Montgomery's yardage lines (currently lines: Rushing Yards Prop: 51.5, Receiving Yards Prop: 14.5). As always, winner gets all the winnings if it hits.
Week 8
Pouring One Out for the WRs
The KrawmissionerOct 23, 2024, 7:43 AM ET

Wide receivers, tell me what you want from me.There was Davante, Kupp, Nacua and Tyreek.Deebo, Nico, Rashee, and Shahid.AJ, DK, Tee and Malik.About 3 broken limbs, Pittman’s back and Aiyuk’s knee.What these WRs want from a manager? Sadly, this is not a DMX track but rather the reality of the WR market for fantasy managers. At this point, two wide receivers are barely adding up to one.This week is a WR two-for-one. Track each team's WR1 + WR2 scores, then add ‘em together. WR1 FANTASY POINTS + WR2 FANTASY POINTSTeam with the lowest combined WR1 + WR2 score this week loses. Team with highest combined WR1 + WR2 score wins.

- Option 1
  Trick Or Treat
  Loser dresses an an injured WR for Halloween and goes trick-or-treating to at least 20 houses. Our reco? Ricky Pearsall. Costume should include Pearsall jersey, skin-tight shiny gold stretchy pants, and a blood-splattered chest. Too soon? We're banking on it!
- Option 2
  Two for One
  Loser places a two-for-one bet for the winner. Two bets, $20 each, with any winnings going directly to the challenge winner.
Week 7
Castaways, Unite
The KrawmissionerOct 15, 2024, 11:47 PM ET

The Island of Misfit Fantasy Positions has a population of two - Kickers and Defenses, the most commonly cast aside positions from fantasy league rosters. But these under-appreciated positions win matchups. Would you have started the season hot without Brandon Aubrey or on a heater without Chicago D getting things started in Week 1 with 35 points? Time to give these positions their due. In fact, let’s combine their forces. Castaways, unite! Track each team's Kicker and Defense scores, then add those bad boys together. KICKER FANTASY POINTS + DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS FANTASY POINTSTeam with the lowest combined K + D/ST score this week loses. Team with highest combined K + D/ST score wins.

- Option 1
  Castaway
  Loser becomes a castaway in the group chat for 7 days with only the ability to communicate via emojis. For every message sent where a word is used, add another week on their lonely emoji island or just remove them from the group chat!
- Option 2
  Ten-game Parlay
  Loser makes a $20 ten-game parlay bet on the betting platform of their choice. Winner picks the ten games (or props, if preferred). If it hits, proceeds get split evenly to everyone in the league. FYI, a ten-game parlay pays out about 700-1. That’s a cool $14k
Week 6
Flex your Flex
The KrawmissionerOct 9, 2024, 11:34 AM ET

As the most versatile of the fantasy lineup positions, the flex let’s you showcase your fantasy roster management savvy. But as the combine has shown us, not all flexes are created equal (cue Tom Brady combine photos to feel better about yourself). So let's everyone flex your flex. Whatever your league’s flex rules or positions are, this one is simple. Track each team's FLEX1 score. FLEX1 FANTASY POINTSTeam with the lowest FLEX1 score this week loses. Team with highest FLEX1 score wins. (PRO TIP: you can “demote” your best flex-able player to the flex slot this week).

  Loser flexes their top bench press at the gym, loudly grunting out the winner's name at the top of each of the 10 reps, naturally while live streaming or filming it for proof. Underwear outfit optional.
- Option 2
  Pay Up
  Loser pays the winner $20.
Week 5
Don't Cry for These QBs
The KrawmissionerOct 2, 2024, 2:14 PM ET

Sometimes, sports just don't make sense. To start this '24 season, the top half of QBs from week 4 included Justin Fields, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Geno Smith, Andy Dalton, Jayden Daniels and Joe F’n Flacco.Meanwhile the bottom half of 2024 QBs at that point included Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Brock Purdy, Aaron Rodgers, Trevor Lawrence, Deshaun Watson, Kirk Cousins and Justin Herbert.Huh?Let's put those QB's to the test. Track each team's score in your league from the absurdly confusing QB market this week. QB1 FANTASY POINTSTeam with the lowest QB1 score this week loses. Team with highest QB1 score wins.

  Write a song about how great the winner's team is (hint: use ChatGPT to save a lot of time). For a bonus, post it to whatever social account you're most active on.
- Option 2
  Pay Up
  Loser pays the winner $20
Week 3
RBBC GTFO
The KrawmissionerSep 17, 2024, 7:29 AM ET

JK Dobbins has come back from injury better than ever. He's the first Chargers player to rush for 100 yards in each of his team's first two games of a season. With 27 carries for 266 yards and 2 TDs, he's on pace for a billion fantasy points.

Gus Edwards, on the other hand, not so much. Inexpicably outcarrying Dobbins 29 to 27, Gus the Bus has plodded his way to 85 total rushing yards for a gaudy 2.93 yards per carry.

But, in reality as in fantasy, you've gotta play 2 RBs, so this week its all about your RB room. Total RB1 + RB2 fantasy points. Team with the most, wins. Teams with the least, uh oh.
RB 1 RB Fantasy Points

RB 2 RB Fantasy Points

- Option 1
```
Challenge Loser by Committee.
```
  The last 3 finishers in this week's challenge must form a committee, and brainstorm ways to improve the league. Upon finishing the presentation, they must then find a time that works for all members of the league to attend a virtual meeting, have each attendee set up with food and a drink, and present a 20+ slide Powerpoint for ways to improve the league. This must be taken seriously, or the committee will be forced to ALSO do the second punishment.
- Option 2
  The Committee Goes Full Committee.
  The same committee from above must now put their collective powers to use for good by joining a committee. This can be a community service committee, a local political committee, or the PTA, but it must be a real committee and they must be serious contributors for at least a month.
  
  Just make the Powerpoint.
Week 2
Total Rookie Mistake
The KrawmissionerSep 10, 2024, 7:10 PM ET

These leaders of the first round rookies. Lookie, how can six picks play like such tushie?

Six QBs. 57 of 95. 60% completion percentage. 415 yards, 0 TD. 2 INT. 6 sacks. Total.

To be fair, Penix Jr, Maye, and McCarthy didn't play, but they also couldn't beat out Kirk Cousins or Jacoby Brissett. We're talking about more torn meniscus than TDs in week 1 from the first round rookie QB class.

Week 2 will be different. Since TD's were at such a premium week 1, we're putting everything on them this week. Team with the most total TDs wins. Team with the least, loses.

1 Rushing TDs

The Stakes
Your choice for what works for your league. Our recommended options for this week, but as always, feel free to cook up your own.
- Option 1
  Play Like a Rookie.
  This week's loser has to join a pickup game and absolutely blow it. The week 2 winner gets to pick the sport and the pickup game location, and the loser has to join the game and act like he's playing for real - but suck worse than a rookie. At least one game is required, or until you're run off the court by your teammates.
- Option 2
  Rookie Mistake.
  This week's challenge loser has to make a $20 suggested bet on behalf of the winner, but it has to be the worst bet possible. We're talking a 7 game moneyline parlay, picking only the underdogs. If it hits, huge $$.
Week 1
Return of the Macks
The KrawmissionerSep 4, 2024, 11:05 AM ET

2023 was a rough year for a few guys with high high hopes. AR (the Rodgers version) lasted 4 plays. AR (the innacurate version) made it 4 games. Joe Burrow for just 4 whiney rants. Will they rise from the ashes like a phoenix to guide their teams to the Super Bowl in (checks notes) not Phoenix? Time will tell, but these guys - in addition to others like Hockensen and Chubb - have our attention as we enter fantasy draft season and league kickoff.

Week 1 is all about clean slates. Fresh starts. Intact ligaments. Each team can choose one QB from their roster to play at QB1 and the team who chooses the QB1 with the biggest increase in week 1 2024 fantasy points vs week 1 of 2023, wins. Team with the player with the lowest increase (or, worse, a decrease) from week 1 of 2023, loses. And yes, playing a rookie QB makes a ton of sense. So does possibly promoting your QB2 for the week.

The Stakes
Your choice for what works for your league. Our recommended options for this week, but as always, feel free to cook up your own.
- Option 1
  Return of the Whack.
  That's you, big boy. The team with the lowest increase in points for their QB1 has to do a 30 second freestyle at an open mic night. League picks the bar and night for maximum attendance. If the player had a decrease in fantasy points, they have to do it fully kitted out in their best rapper attire, chosen by the week 1 winner, of course.
- Option 2
  Return of the Greenback.
  If the loser of this week's challenge won any money in the 2023 season, they have to return it to the league. We recommend adding it to the week 2 challenge pot, but you can disperse it evenly if preferred, or add it to the season's pot. If the player didn't win any money in 2023 (shocker), have them add $50 to the week 2 challenge pot or pay a buddy of his choice's league dues for this season.
