    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).

    LoserStatsBreakdown
    DeVonta Smith5 targets, 1 reception, 8 yards. 1.8 PPR fantasy points (15.24 projected).And he’s the Eagles WR who ISN’T whining!
    Lamar Jackson14/25, 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 Chase10 targets, 3 receptions, 30 yards. 6.0 PPR fantasy points (22.52 projected).This week, he wasn’t spittin’ any game.
    Justin Herbert10/18, 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.

    About LotW
    This is for a top player that you expect to carry your team, but they lay a dud. We're talking about guys owned and started in 90% or so of leagues. There can only be one loser each week, but rest assured, the others have a special place in their fantasy owners' hearts.

  • Week 10

    Brock Bowers

    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).

    DJ Moore4 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. Hockenson2 targets, 2 receptions, 8 yards. 2.8 PPR fantasy points (9.42 projected).Time to give up on T.J.
    Brock Bowers1 carry, -4 yards. 3 targets, 1 reception, 31 yards. 3.7 PPR (15.97 projected).We TOLD you.
    Keenan Allen5 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.

    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).

    Alvin Kamara6 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 Vidal12 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.

    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).

    LoserStatsBreakdown
    Jacory Croskey-Merritt9 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 Ferguson1 target, 0 receptions. 0.0 PPR fantasy points (10.15 projected).Jake got snaked.
    Baker Mayfield15/25, 192 passing yards. 0 rushing yards. 0 TD. 4.08 fantasy points (19.89 projected).Scott Mayfield has almost as many points.
    Christian McCaffrey8 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.

    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?

    Jameson Williams2 targets, 0 receptions. 0.0 PPR fantasy points (11.17 projected).They put up 24 points. He put up zero.
    George Kittle2 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 Waddle4 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 Jeanty6 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.

    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.

    Saquon Barkley12 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%

    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.

    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.
