- Week 2
The Boring and the Beautiful
We don't do drama. Or high point totals.
The KrawmissionerSep 10, 2025, 10:56 AM ETDeath, taxes, and starting 0-2 in fantasy leads to missing the playoffs. These are the only certainties in life.
We told you not to lose the first matchup. No matter what happens this season, you simply cannot lose again to start 0-2. It is the one rule in fantasy. In life.
Go 1-13 - who gives a shit - but win at least one of the first two weeks. At 0-2, give up. The season is over, there's no recovering. Life will unravel. You'll gain weight. Get dumped. Fired. Disowned. Bankrupt.
Earthquakes. Famine. Locusts. Four horsemen. All because you started a Chicago Bear.
This is the week to play it safe. And since week 2 still involves a lot of unknowns - rookies, players who changed teams, teams with new coaches, holdouts, etc - we're giving extra points to players who play it safe. We're talking about ground and pound. Three yards and a cloud of dust. Five yard TE buttonhooks. Punting on 4th and 1 at midfield. Cover 4.

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
Boring Ass Meeting
Your colleagues may not know it, but you're about to burn those 9 minutes that everyone was getting back. For the next week of work meetings, you must filibuster ALL the remaining scheduled time on any meeting you're on (and yes, you must attend every meeting you're invited to) with whatever inane content you choose. This includes meetings that get cancelled after they start - you have to fill the entire 30 or 60. It can be work-related, buzzword-filled jargon, asking about their weekends, or whatever other useless eyeroll-inducing filler. But it does have to be genuine, and a secret between only you and your fantasy league members. Recordings required for proof.
- Option 2
Boring Ass Bet
Loser must make the most boring bet of the week on behalf of the winner next week. Whichever bet has the best odds of winning, that's the one that the loser lays the bet on. Commissioner chooses the bet amount, but we recommend matching the league buy-in amount.
- Option 3
From Boring to Bold (yet still beautiful)
Whoever loses this week must then bench their highest scoring Week 2 player next week.
- Option 4
You Devious Dog, You
Use the formula above in the real fantasy outcomes. RB2, TE1, and DEF/ST all get a 50% bump on their Week 2 outputs, which should impact the winners in at least a few fantasy matchups.
- Option 1
- Week 1
The Rule of Two
And too/to/tu.
The KrawmissionerSep 3, 2025, 11:36 AM ETIt’s football season again and so far everything is coming up deuces.
Two-way play from #2 pick Travis Hunter. Year two jumps for Penix, Jayden, Drake, JJ, Caleb, and Bo. Two-peat for the Eagles. #2 Ashton Jeanty's OROY bid. Two Ohio State running backs drafted in the 2nd. Two first round picks from Green Bay to validate Jerry's fragile ego.
Too many Ohio State running backs drafted in the 2nd. Too many Sanders. Too much hype for the Bears. Too much hate for T-Swift. Too many games called by Brady.
Tu-a staying health.
To whom do we put our trust in this season?
For week 1, it’s the rule of two for things normally worth two. Team with the highest point total wins. Team with the lowest, loses.

- Option 1
Two-fer Tuesday
The loser of this week's challenge has to buy two rounds of two-fer happy hour drinks for the entire league next Tuesday. It's basically the only day without football on, so you need something to do anyway.
- Option 2
Two Leg Parlay
Loser must lay down a two leg parlay on behalf of the challenge winner for either $2, $22, or $222 - Commissioner decides what the bet amount is.
- Option 3
Two To Tú Bench
Loser must bench two of their week 1 starters in week 2. Loser choses, but two of them must be on the bench. Not traded. Not cut. Burning two bench spots.
- Option 4
You Devious Dog, You
Lose this week’s challenge and it counts as two losses against your team, starting you out with two losses after one week. Impressive. Where everyone else will be 1-0 or 0-1, you’ll be 1-2 or 0-3. You'll have more games played than the rest of the league, but your winning percentage will tell the final story.
- Option 1
- Week 16
Giving to the poor QBs
Your fantasy season was as dead as a doornail.
The KrawmissionerDec 18, 2024, 11:03 AM ETThere are the Scrooges and Marleys of the world, and there are the Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tims of the world. And lately in the NFL, there are the Lamar Jackson and Jared Goffs of the league and then there are the ghosts of fantasy relevance past.
In week 15, three QBs had over 40 points. And seven, who played significant time, had under 10 points (Levis, Winston, Purdy, Geno, Tua, Stafford, Cousins) and another seven under 15 points (Kyler, Russ, Caleb, Ridder, Darnold, Bryce, Richardson). So for every QB that had over 40, we had almost three who threw an absolute dud.
‘Tis the season of giving, so we’ll be taking from the richest and giving to the poorest QB performers when they need it most. For any QB under 15 fantasy points, their points are automatically doubled. For any QB over 30 fantasy points, subtract 5 fantasy points.
Fantasy team with the best adjusted QB score this week wins. Team with the lowest adjusted QB score this week loses.
In this season of giving, take a moment to give to the lesser fantasy managers and their lesser QB options. And with this week’s formula, yes, the loser may end up the winner and the winner may actually end up the loser.

Kickin' Back Old School
Accuracy stylee.
The KrawmissionerDec 10, 2024, 4:51 PM ETKickers are so much better than they used to be from range - 71% this season from 50+. That was <20% in the 90’s. In fact, since 2003 the 50+ makes have gone from 48 in total to a projected 184 this season. And this season kickers are a crazy 4 of 11 from SIXTY plus.
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.
Fantasy team with the highest final total this week wins. Team with the lowest final total this week loses.

- 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
Kick It or Pay It
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.
- Option 1
- Week 14
Real Dual Threats
Also, get a room.
The KrawmissionerDec 3, 2024, 6:49 PM ETIn the midst of listening to Collinsworth drool over Josh Allen’s muscles, smile, fiancé, and wardrobe, it reached a crescendo on the snowy SNF play pictured above where Allen passed to and then ran in a lateral from Amari Cooper for a TD. Absolutely absurd play in classic snowy conditions, but then there was the Collinsworth reaction (“Come on Mike, give it to him”) 😮🤦♂️. But the real drama came when fantasy leagues called that a passing touchdown AND a rushing touchdown for Allen and awarded double points on the same play. Clearly, getting credit for two TDs on one play is kinda BS. But guys who are true dual threats are not.
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 as a real dual threat, and their points would then be counted. Fantasy team with the most real dual threat player fantasy points this week wins. Team with the least real dual threat fantasy points this week loses.

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.

Take On Saquon
He's really good.
The KrawmissionerNov 27, 2024, 1:05 PM ETGive 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. Think 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.

Turkeys From Turkeys
Perhaps 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.

How 'Bout Them Cowboys!
They're really not good.
The KrawmissionerNov 21, 2024, 8:44 AM ETHow ‘bout them Cowboys! And by Cowboys, we’re talking about the only two Cowboys worth their spit this year. Without CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Aubrey the ‘boys would likely be in line for relegation to the CFL. Even with Jerry sabotaging the field surface under Aubrey’s plant leg and a piece of the stadium’s roof falling off, which we can only assume was meant for CeeDee, these guys have been fantastic in spite of a pitiful situation.
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. The team with the lowest combined WR1 receptions and kicker field goals made loses. The team with the most combined WR1 receptions and kicker field goals made wins. If there’s a tie, the kicker with the longest kick this week wins it for his fantasy manager.

Kicking for Freedom
Loser who may or may not have ever 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
Don't Look at Dak
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).

All About the D
Not that D.
The KrawmissionerNov 13, 2024, 10:58 AM ETWe at FL thank our veterans this week and always that have given so much to defend our safety, security, liberty and freedom. So how do we transition from national pride and gratitude to this week’s challenge? Instead of defending democracy, we’re talking defense of touchdowns. End zones, not militarized zones. Yellow flags, not white flags. 50 yard bombs, not, well, you get it.
It’s all about the D this week. The defense/special teams that has the most combined sacks and turnovers created wins. Team with the lowest combined number this week loses. Team with the highest combined number wins.

Cooking up the Run, Pass, Catch
Everyone's invited this week!
The KrawmissionerOct 29, 2024, 8:08 PM ETDuring week 9 of the NFL season, the clock is turned back an hour, but the NFL seems to have turned back the clock five years. MNF displayed Russ back to his cookin’ ways. Heck, these days even Dalvin is somehow back cookin’ in Brandin’s roster spot. So we at FL decided to cook something up ourselves. With David Montgomery as our inspo this week with his absurd stat line (Passing: 1/1, 3 yds, 1 TD. Rushing: 9 carries, 33 yds, 1 TD. Receiving: 1 rec, 5 yds), we’re going beyond fantasy points to focus on the stats behind the point.
While he did find paydirt twice, we’re more impressed with D-Mont gaining yardage every way except the return game (why not let him return a punt, Danny?). Track each team's combined passing, rushing, and receiving yards for a combined yardage for the entire fantasy team - bench included. Team with the lowest combined yardage this week, loses. Team with highest combined yardage wins.

1st and 10 Yard Work Hours
Loser has to gain his own yardage, doing yard work in costume for a day. Raking leaves as Freddy Kreuger can be both creepy and, well, creepy. Pumpkin spice it up - loser does the yard work for the winner. Every hundred yards of differential between scores equals 1 hour of work.
- Option 2
Yard 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.

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. Team with the lowest combined WR1 + WR2 score this week loses. Team with highest combined WR1 + WR2 score wins.

Castaways, Unite
At least it wasn't Zach Wilson.
The KrawmissionerOct 15, 2024, 11:47 PM ETThe 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. Track each team's kicker and defense scores, then add those bad boys together. Team with the lowest combined K + D/ST score this week loses. Team with highest combined K + D/ST score wins.

- Option 2
Need-a-Miracle 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

The KrawmissionerOct 9, 2024, 11:34 AM ETAs 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. Team 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).

Don't Cry for These QBs
Cry me a creek, Dawson.
The KrawmissionerOct 2, 2024, 2:14 PM ETSometimes, 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. Team with the lowest QB1 score this week, loses. Team with highest QB1 score wins.

- Option 2
10x the Tears
Loser pays the winner 10x their own QB's jersey number. For example, if the loser for some insane reason starts Will Levis, they'd owe the winner $80 (#8 jersey x 10).
It's a good week to start Jalen Hurts or Kyler Murray.

RBBC GTFO
If you have two running backs, you have no running back.
The KrawmissionerSep 17, 2024, 7:29 AM ETJK 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. Team with the most RB points, wins. Teams with the least, uh oh.

Challenge Loser by CommitteeThe 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 put their collective powers to use for good by joining a committee. This can be a community service committee, a local political action 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.

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 TDs 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.

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 $$.

Return of the Macks
These macks(?) returneth.
The KrawmissionerSep 4, 2024, 11:05 AM ET2023 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
PhoenixVegas? Time will tell, but these guys - in addition to others like Hockenson 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 that same QB in week 1 of 2023, wins. And no, that QB didn't have to be on your roster last year too. For example, Aaron Rodgers' 2024 Week 1 fantasy points minus Aaron Rodgers' 2023 Week 1 fantasy points, which, as we all know, was his Achilles heel.
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.

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.
