Swallow instead, loser.

Bad enough that he caught just 30% of his passes. Worse yet, he spit away your chances of making the playoffs with a Week 12 suspension that’ll cost you dearly - so he’s basically giving you 6 points for two weeks.. A loser before and after the whistle earns him the LotW11 with this statline: 10 targets, 3 receptions, 30 yards. 1 loogie. 6.0 PPR fantasy points (22.52 projected).
| Loser | Stats | Breakdown |
|---|---|---|
| DeVonta Smith | 5 targets, 1 reception, 8 yards. 1.8 PPR fantasy points (15.24 projected). | And he’s the Eagles WR who ISN’T whining! |
| Lamar Jackson | 14/25, 193 passing yards, 0 TD, 2 INT. 4 carries, 10 yards. 4.72 fantasy points (22.0 projected). | Cleveland D serves up yet another LotW nominee. |
| Ja'Marr Chase | 10 targets, 3 receptions, 30 yards. 6.0 PPR fantasy points (22.52 projected). | This week, he wasn’t spittin’ any game. |
| Justin Herbert | 10/18, 81 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT. 3.34 PPR Fantasy Points (21.36 projected). | 3.34 points against the 3rd easiest D for QBs? No bueno. |

Lots of losing going on here.

Sometimes we get it right. After a 40+ point outburst last week, we told you last week that Brock was not the guy for Week 10, and if you listened, you reaped the reward. Either way, the LotW10 crown goes to Brock Bowers with this statline: 1 carry, -4 yards. 3 targets, 1 reception, 31 yards. 3.7 PPR (15.97 projected).
| Loser | Stats | Breakdown |
|---|---|---|
| DJ Moore | 4 targets, 0 receptions, 0 yards. 0.0 PPR fantasy points (13.41 projected). | You can bank on a Bears WR to make this list weekly. |
| T.J. Hockenson | 2 targets, 2 receptions, 8 yards. 2.8 PPR fantasy points (9.42 projected). | Time to give up on T.J. |
| Brock Bowers | 1 carry, -4 yards. 3 targets, 1 reception, 31 yards. 3.7 PPR (15.97 projected). | We TOLD you. |
| Keenan Allen | 5 targets, 2 receptions, 19 yards. 3.9 PPR fantasy points (12.09 projected). | Imagine how much worse it’d be if they didn’t hand him that gimme record-breaker. |

Can you hit a rookie wall in year 2?

Things are so bad for Rome that even his dad is getting involved in the complaints about targets. Gotta assume that pop has son as WR1 on his fantasy team. Regardless of fault, the LotW9 crown goes to Rome Odunze with this statline: 3 targets, 0 receptions, 0 yards. 0.0 PPR fantasy points (13.8 projected).
| Loser | Stats | Breakdown |

| Rome Odunze | 3 targets, 0 receptions, 0 yards. 0.0 PPR fantasy points (13.8 projected). | You screwed me, Rome. You screwed me. |
| DK Metcalf | 4 targets, 2 receptions, 6 yards. 2.6 PPR fantasy points (15.11 projected). | You screwed me, DK. You screwed me. |
| Alvin Kamara | 6 carries, 14 yards. 1 reception, 3 yards. Fumble lost. 0.7 PPR fantasy points (11.47 projected). | Time to request a trade to Denver, my man. |
| Kimani Vidal | 12 carries, 30 yards. 1 target, 0 receptions. 3.0 PPR fantasy points (13.54 projected). | Fewer yards than his team had points. Livin’ la Vidal joka. |

Jazz hands!

You could be mad for the 0 catches, but with only 1 target there’s only so much he could do. Either way, he’s the only Cowboy with a crown since the 90s as LotW8 winner with this statline: 1 target, 0 receptions. 0.0 PPR fantasy points (10.15 projected).
| Loser | Stats | Breakdown |
|---|---|---|
| Jacory Croskey-Merritt | 9 rushes, 25 yards. 1 target, 0 receptions. 2.5 PPR fantasy points (10.32 projected). | More names than fantasy points. More hyphens than catches. |
| Jake Ferguson | 1 target, 0 receptions. 0.0 PPR fantasy points (10.15 projected). | Jake got snaked. |
| Baker Mayfield | 15/25, 192 passing yards. 0 rushing yards. 0 TD. 4.08 fantasy points (19.89 projected). | Scott Mayfield has almost as many points. |
| Christian McCaffrey | 8 carries, 25 yards. 6 targets, 3 receptions, 43 yards. 9.8 PPR fantasy points (21.0 projected). | The bar is high, but he had 0.8 points in the 2nd half. |

Waddling his way to a win, finally.

Waddle your ass over to the loser’s circle, Jaylen. Yet again, you’ve disappointed your fantasy managers. This week, JW takes the LotW7 crown with an absolute dud of a week: 4 targets, 1 reception, 15 yards. 2.5 PPR fantasy points (14.40 projected). Maybe Dart will be a better QB for you?
| Loser | Stats | Breakdown |
|---|---|---|
| Jameson Williams | 2 targets, 0 receptions. 0.0 PPR fantasy points (11.17 projected). | They put up 24 points. He put up zero. |
| George Kittle | 2 targets, 0 receptions. 0.0 PPR fantasy points (13.03 projected). | They put up 20 points. He put up zero. Not the triumphant return you all hoped for. |
| Jaylen Waddle | 4 targets, 1 reception, 15 yards. 2.5 PPR fantasy points (14.40 projected). | Maybe that rumored trade to the Giants will do him some good. |
| Ashton Jeanty | 6 carries, 21 yards. 1 reception, 13 yards. 4.4 PPR fantasy points (16.24 projected). | It’s getting late early for Jeanty and the Raiders. |

Looks better in blue.

The Giants decided they were more than up to take on Saquon, handing him the LotW6 crown in a landslide victory in our newsletter and social polls. With a statline like this, it’s no surprise - 12 carries, 58 yards. 2 receptions, 9 yards. 8.7 PPR fantasy points (16.87 projected). Clearly he chose the wrong team.
| Loser | Stats | % of Vote |
|---|---|---|
| Saquon Barkley | 12 carries, 58 yards. 2 receptions, 9 yards. 8.7 PPR fantasy points (16.87 projected). A cush matchup against the team that did you wrong, and this is it? He’s no Rico Dowdle. | 77% |
| Quinshon Judkins | 12 rushes, 36 yards. 1 target. 3.6 PPR fantasy points (11.96 projected). Feels unfair to nominate a Browns player as loser. But here we are. | 8% |
| Garrett Wilson | 8 targets, 3 receptions, 13 yards. 4.3 PPR fantasy points (13.5 projected). Feels unfair to nominate a Jets player as loser. But here we are. | 4% |
| Courtland Sutton | 3 targets, 1 reception, 17 yards. 2.7 PPR fantasy points (13.3 projected). He’s trying to keep up with A.J. and Derrick in LotW nominations. | 11% |

| FL Pete | Emeka Egbuka | 4 targets, 2 receptions, 24 yards. 4.40 PPR fantasy points (19.39 projected). | Pete bukake’d that hamstring. |
| FL Riley | Rico Dowdle | 30 carries, 183 yards. 4 receptions, 56 yards, 1 TD. 33.9 PPR fantasy points (13.97 projected). | Another pick with Cowboys connections by Riley. Another swing and miss. |
| The FL Don | Ja’Marr Chase | 12 targets, 10 receptions, 94 yards, 1 TD. 1 carry, -3 yards. 25.1 PPR fantasy points (18.33 projected). | Even with Flacco, Ja’Marr balls. |
| FL Jay | A.J. Brown | 9 targets, 6 catches, 80 yards. 14.0 PPR fantasy points (13.0 projected). | It’s a bad sign when this is a huge week for Arthur Juan. |
| FL MikeD | Jaylen Warren | 11 carries, 52 yards. 2 catches, 11 yards, 8.3 PPR fantasy points (13.48 projected). | Hard to hate on the guy in his return, but it was just whatever. |

More LotW crowns than TDs.

With a 43% vote share in our social poll, LotW1 AJ Brown keeps his strong streak alive and pulls down another crown. When you have as many yards as targets, things are going badly. Less time on social media, more in the film room.

|---|---|---|
| AJ Brown | 7 targets, 2 receptions, 7 yards. 2.7 PPR fantasy points (13.68 projected). | 43% |

Jaxson may not be throwing darts.

With a whopping 80% of the vote in our newsletter poll (and 44% in our social poll), y’all agree that Malik - with help from Russ - was the LotW3. When you have half as many fantasy points as targets, losing is your thing. Maybe Jaxson Dart will bring better futures.

We tried to warn you.

Week 2 had plenty of losers, to be sure, but a few stood out as having especially sabotaged their fantasy owners. The votes were cast, and y'all agreed with The Krawmissioner (and the greater Baltimore metro) that Derrick Henry was the LotW2.

One. Damn. Catch.

Picking a Week 1 loser is always a tough one, since so many people have unrealistic expectations for players like rookies, old dudes going to new teams, or guys coming back from injury. But, nevertheless, we persist.
And with an impressive majority and a resounding LotW1 win(?), AJ Brown and his one F'n catch start the season off wrong.
