KICKING BACK WEEK
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.

- 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.

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.

Real Dual Threats
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.

Winner's Lackey

Take on Saquon
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.
RB 1 Rushing Yards

- 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.
- Option 1
- Week 12
How 'Bout Them Cowboys!
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.

Making Sense of Election Math
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. Team with highest combined number wins.

Cooking up the Run, Pass, Catch
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?). 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.

- 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.

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.

Castaways, Unite
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.

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
- Option 1
- Week 6
Flex your Flex
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.
