    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.

    The KrawmissionerDerrick Henry24 carries, 122 yards. 1 reception, 8 yards. 14.0 PPR fantasy points.Somewhat impressive for a team that scored 3 points, but still pretty meh.
    FL PeteEmeka Egbuka4 targets, 2 receptions, 24 yards. 4.40 PPR fantasy points (19.39 projected).Pete bukake’d that hamstring.
    FL RileyRico Dowdle30 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 DonJa’Marr Chase12 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 JayA.J. Brown9 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 MikeDJaylen Warren11 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
