The Cowboys continue their hot start with the yearly high score.   

The Cowboys have kicked open the saloon doors, guns blasting, saddles blazing. Ron and Dino gunned down G’ss Mafia where they stood, then the Roc hobbled in and kicked them when they were down. Pfff, Pfff. The Cowboys scored the yearly high score, 329-180, in a 149 point blowout. Last year the highest score the 2024 championship Cowboys scored during the regular season was 271 points. The Cowboys remain undefeated at 2-0 and own the #1 overall offense. Say whatever you want, but right now, coming off of last seasons title win, The Cowboys are in a zone. Since discarding Kon like yesterdays newspaper, The Cowboys haven’t skipped a beat. They’re running it back old school, with running backs and Dallas Cowboys (Dak & Ferguson). It’s very early but The OSFL Cowboys look great. G’ss Mafia drops to 1-1. Don’t make me come get that B.   

XXXL cancelled Showtime in week 2, 285-223. Let’s first acknowledge that XXXL dodged a bullet when Joe Burrow went down early in the 2nd quarter with a toe injury, but XXXL had 4 players score 39.5+ points this week, led by Amon-Ra  St. Brown/62 points, Patrick Mahomes/43 points, Devon Achane/41.7 points and Davonte Adams/39.5 points. It’s tough to beat a team with that much offense spread out over several players. XXXL improved to 2-0, they have the most points and remain the final undefeated team in the Metro West division. It was a huge win because Showtime is in 2nd place at 1-1. G-Force got a little more then they expected from TWB, who came in ready to rumble. G-Force had to come from behind late on Monday night, as Justin Herbert saved them again with a 47 point performance. G-Force had six players score 25+ points in week 2. Ageless Alvin Kamara continues to produce at a high level/34.5 points and missed a 100 yard game by 1 yard. Malik Nabers single-handedly kept TWB in the game with the highest active score of the week/76.7 points, making up for a lot of other underperforming players in TWB’s starting line up. In the closest game of the week, The Wolfpack came from behind to beat Dynamic Duo, 221-212, earning their first victory of the season. Led by Baker Mayfield/42 points who looked like his season ended on a couple of plays, he popped up and kept rolling. For the second week in a row, The Wolfpack became a team that traded for a kicker and that kicker’s score (Tyler Loop/17.5 points) became the margin of victory. It was great move by the Wolfpack. Dynamic Duo squandered a 76 point performance from Ja’Marr Chase and fall to 0-2. Phriends of the Devil notched their historical first OSFL victory, beating Bronx Swag, 218-207. POTD had 4 players score 30+ points, led by Javonte Williams/42 points, Kyler Murray/33 points, Bucky Irving/32.6 points and Tetairoa McMillan/32 points, while #1 overall pick Jahmyr Gibbs added another 29.6 points. They also had 3 players score 50+ points on their bench including the highest scoring player of week 2, 2024 & 2025 OSFL Draft Mr. Irrelevant Russell Wilson/91 points, Bryce Young/66 points and Rome Odunze/52 points. Bronx Swag came in flat with 7 players scoring under 20 points and 5 players scoring 13 points or less. Bronx Swag is the only winless team remaining in the Metro West division, but they have the 3rd most points in their division. In the final game of the week, 3 All The Way were gifted a victory as Allbrite Picks decision to bench Tucker Kraft/56 points came back to bite them in the ass. Kraft was the highest scoring player on either teams roster and is now the #1 ranked TE. The final score was 199-161, the lowest scoring game of the year thus far. An ugly win is still a win.                   

Games of the Week

Week #3

Week 2 picks (3-3)

G-Force (2-0) vs Showtime (1-1)

Most wins do not come easy in the OSFL. G-Force faced the #12 ranked offense (TWB) in week 2 and had to rally late to win the game. Thru 2 games, Justin Herbert is playing like an MVP candidate. He wasn’t the first QB G-Force drafted (JJ McCarthy was). G-Force is getting a little thin at WR, which is one of the reasons they’re switching to the 4RB/2WR offense. Deebo Samuel is playing like a WR1/28.2 PPG. DJ Moore has yet to get on track (14.8 PPG). Saquon Barkley/32 PPG is averaging 15PPG less than he did a year ago. Barkley has some tough tests coming up over the next few weeks. Alvin Kamara is running more at this stage of his career than he did when he first came into the NFL. In week 2, Kamara rushed for 21-99. What was so impressive about this game was that Kamara’s longest run was for 15 yards. Kamara has turned into a grinder as he enters his 30’s. Oh and he caught 6 passes. He’s such a good, consistent player. I’m not worried about Blake Corum scoring his first career TD and Kyren Williams failing to score yet. However this is something to monitor going forward. The Rams backfield has been one of the safest places in the NFL for one RB to get the majority of the work. G-Force has Corum, but they don’t want to see the usage spread out. Williams did out-touch Corum 19-5, but only outscored him by 6.5 points (20.5 to 14 points). Williams had 14 more touches and only got 6.5 more points? Mmmm. Just something to watch. It appears that G-Force is going to start Quinshon Judkins in week 3. I like Quinshon Judkins (13 touches) but the Cleveland Browns backfield is a threesome, along with Jerome Ford (11 touches) and Dylan Sampson (7 touches with a TD). G-Forces offense may not be as stable as it appears to be. Starting Judkins at this juncture is a bit of a desperation play. There is no clarity in Cleveland’s backfield yet. I’m not telling G-Force who to play but they have a top 10 TE, averaging 20 PPG who has scored a TD in back to back games. I know he only made the move because of Brock Bowers injury concern and lack of clarity because the game was on Monday night, but IF Don didn’t start Zach Ertz over Bowers, G-Force would have lost their game last week. Now if Jayden Daniels is out that changes everything and could hurt Deebo as well. Is Brock Bowers back to 100%? Last week I wrote that G-Force might not need Bowers and they didn’t. They need him now.

Showtime suffered a severe blow in week 2, losing 2nd round pick Joe Burrow for what is projected to be months. I am a Joe Burrow fan, but I thought Showtime took him too early in the 2nd round, but that doesn’t matter now, he’s gone. Showtime will roll with Daniel Jones who thru 2 games has looked better than he ever has with back to back 50+ point games. Jones already has 3 rushing and 2 passing TD’s and hit a 300 yard bonus, leading the Colts to a 2-0 start. Bijan Robinson and James Cook both rushed for 130+ yards in week 2. They both have nice match ups (Robinson @ Carolina) and (Cook vs Miami). Showtime has a solid veteran WR group led by MIke Evans and Tyreek Hill. Both have been productive, but Evans has yet to score a TD. Hill hit a 100 yard bonus last week but Miami is a disaster. Jakobi Meyers and Wan’Dale Robinson have both started the season with 14 catches over their first 2 games. Tyler Warren has started his career with back to back 70+ yard bonus games. Daniel Jones and Warren are now paired up in Showtime’s offense. Warren did not practice on Wednesday. If he cannot go on Sunday, thats going to be a major problem for Showtime, all the way around. If Warren can’t go, thats affects Warren, Jones and Showtime’s offense. It is bizarre how far the pendulum has swung on the top tier rookie TE’s. For the first 20+ years of the OSFL’s existence, rookie TE’s were to be avoided like the plague. Tyler Warren is one of the most important players in Showtime’s offense. Showtime’s Robinson/Cook 1-2 punch at RB nullifies one of G-Forces primary strengths. It appears that Tyler Warren is a go and Jayden Daniels is OUT, which is all bad news for G-Force. Give me Showtime in a rebound win.      

Phriends of the Devil (1-1) Vs. Dynamic Duo (0-2)  

Dynamic Duo enters week 3 winless. We’ve been here before and rallied to rifle off 9, 10 wins in a row. I’m not saying that’s what will happen again. What I am saying is that to me, nothing has changed from the way I saw things 2 weeks ago at the draft. I believe in this team. We just need a little consistency and have everyone pulling in the same direction at the same time. Dynamic Duo will enter week 3, having not made a single change to their starting line up. There is no panic or fear here. We know this offense is going to take off at some point. Josh Allen scored 84 points in week 1 and 23 points in week 2. He needs to find a happy medium. The Bills are going to blow some teams out and the game script could be greatly altered where Allen may not have to throw the ball a lot. The Bills next 3 opponents are Miami, New Orleans and New England. Those smell like 3 blowouts to me. I don’t know that this is necessarily a great thing for Allen. It took 2 weeks for Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt to secure the Redskins starting RB role.  Old man Austin Ekeler tore his achillies and his career is probably over. JCM has rushed 14-99 over 2 games which is a 7 YPC clip. He has to catch the ball. In 3 targets, he has dropped them all. James Conner has scored a TD in both games this season. D’Andre Swift is dealing with a quad injury but has been practicing. Swift has gotten the lion share of touches thru 2 weeks. Ja’Marr Chase erupted for 14-165 and a TD/76 points on 16 targets but the Bengals lost Joe Burrow for what is expected to be multiple months. Chase’s usage went up when Burrow got injured, so it remains to be seen how much of a pull back is expected, but I remember when this happened last time (in 2023). Chase’s production did not immediately detract with Jake Browning as his QB when Browning was a rookie. He caught 3 TD’s and hit 2 bonuses over his first 4 games. It was later into the season when Chase cooled off but he did get banged up and missed a game and really wasn’t the same after that. AJ Brown has 6 receptions and 100+ yard in each of his last 2 games against the Rams in 2023 & 2024. Bronw is overdue for an uptick in production. Michael Pittman has decent history against the Titans and he’s second on the Colts after Tyler Warren with 10 receptions and 120 receiving yards and he’s the only Colts receiver to score a TD in 2025. TJ Hockenson has been MIA thru 2 games but it’s still early. 

Phriends of the Devil enter this game off of their first victory of the season. They would like nothing more than to make it 2 in a row against Dynamic Duo. Kyler Murray is coming off of 2 of the easier match ups he could’ve faced (New Orleans and Carolina) and he failed to crack 40 points in either game. Last time he faced the 49ers, he threw a career high 4 TDs. That was the best game he’s ever had against San Francisco. Last week Bryce Young doubled Kyler’s score and Russell Wilson almost 3x Kyler’s score with the highest score of the week 91 points of POTD’s bench. I would stick with Kyler for now but if Young and Wilson continue to outperform him, then Kon and Kompany will have more decisions to make. Javonte Williams faced the worst rush defense in the NFL in week 2 (NY Giants have allowed 355 rush yards thru 2 games) and rush 18-97 and a TD, he also caught 6-33. Williams is running well against exploitable defenses. In week 1, one of if not the best run stoppers in the NFL Jalen Carter was thrown out of the game for spitting on Dak Prescott before playing a snap and Javonte scored 2 TD’s. He’s playing well against the teams he should be playing well against but The Cowboys schedule is about to get harder very quickly. You rock with him until the wheels fall off, but make no mistake, they’re coming off at some point. If you don’t believe that, you must be high on mushrooms, oh wait Kon is high on mushrooms. This crazy bastard is sending me the actual texts he’s sending to other teams regarding trades he has attempts to make and his selling point of the trade is that the player he’s trying to trade for is playing against me. That was his selling point, lol, omg. Kon, Kon, Kon, the point of the league isn’t to be beat me. That BS may play in your anything goes, XFL league, because your scared to death of me winning but it don’t play here. You do what you want, but that type of interaction with OSFL veterans makes you sound crazy. They don’t care about that stuff. Is the trade going to help them or not, that’s what they care about. You trying to talk them into beating me doesn’t factor into the deal at all, 0.0 %. I’m shaking my head man. Moving on. One of these days Jahmyr Gibbs is going to explode, and it could be this week on Monday night against Baltimore. Just because I don’t like Bucky Irving doesn’t mean he hasn’t been productive. After 2 games, Bucky Irving has more touches 41-34 and scored just as many points (29.5 PPG) as Jahmyr Gibbs. In 2024, Bucky averaged 2.6 receptions per game, thru 2 games he’s averaging 5 RPG. That’s a BIG jump. Omarian Hampton’s rookie season has underwhelmed but it’s extremely early. He has a tough test in week 3 against Denver but the litmus test comes in week 4 against the NY Giants, because if you can’t run on the Giants then red flags go up. POTD have too many good WR’s which is going to be great during the BYE weeks, but when they’re all playing (Rome Odunze, Tetairoa McMillan, Ricky Pearsall and DeVonta Smith), your leaving points on the bench no matter who you start. Odunze already has 3 TD’s and a 100 yard game. McMillan has a 100 yard game, Pearsall has a 100 yard game and Smith is overdue. Chig Okonkwo has actually outplayed TJ Hockenson. I think this league needs some of what POTD brings to the table. They’re aggressive traders who are ready and willing to move anyone at anytime. Phriends of the Devil have a solid team, but I’m not picking against my team until the sentiment changes. I see nothing different from the way I saw it 2 weeks ago at the draft. POTD has some tough match ups this week but this should still be a tough close game. A slobbernocker as JR would say. These teams should trade blows all day long, but I’m taking Dynamic Duo simply because this isn’t an 0-3 team and we’re due.          

The XXXL 69ers (2-0) Vs Two Weeks of Bacon (0-2)

There are 3 teams out here in the streets fighting and clawing for their lives in an attempt not to go 0-3. TWB gave great effort last week against  the undefeated G-Force but came up short again. Hold onto your hats Patriot fans… Drake Maye has been outstanding. Maye has been fortunate to play against some weak opponents to start the season but the cupcakes continue for at least another 2 weeks, against Pittsburgh and Carolina. Yes, Pittsburgh has been lit up by the Jets and the Seahawks. At this juncture, it’s scary starting one rookie RB . TWB is rolling out two rookie RB’s in TreVeyon Henderson and Cam Skattebow. Henderson was a 4th round/37th overall pick. he’s got to get on track or he’s going to kill this team. David Montgomery is a solid RB3/Flex, he cannot be an RB1. Not only is TWB playing Henderson, they’re pairing him with Rhamondre Stevenson in the starting line up. Last week Rhamondre looked good against Miami (16 touches/31 points). Malik Nabers was the top WR in week 2. Nabers is the focal point of this offense. Nico Collins needs to catch up to Nabers because these 3 catch games aren’t working. Juwan Johnson stepped into the starting line up from the free agent pool in week 2 (5-49 and a TD/21 points) and delivered solid production. 

XXXL has had a phenomenal start to the 2025 season. Ralph & Ron control one of the final three undefeated teams heading into week 3. Patrick Mahomes has delivered solid production. What he’s lacked in passing numbers, he’s made up for in rushing stats, rushing for 57+ yards and a TD in both of his starts this season. Thru 2 weeks, 7th round pick Travis Etienne is one of the biggest, most pleasant surprises of the 2025 season. Etienne is averaging 17.5 touches and 33 PPG. Devon Achane scored 29 points on 19 touches on Thursday night to give XXXL an early lead. Amon-Ra St. Brown erupted for 62 points in week 2, setting a single game career high with 3 TD’s. St. Brown has been a top 10 WR for the last 3 seasons. For anyone who thought Davante Adams would lose a step in LA, think again. Adams is averaging 26 PPG. Tee Higgins caught his first TD of the season last week and it wasn’t Joe Burrow who threw him the TD, it was Jake Browning. Quinton Johnston has forced his way into the starting line up after scoring 3 TD’s over his first 2 games. Johnston has scored 11 TD’s over his last 17 games. Travis Kelce may look old and slow, but he’s still producing as a low end TE1, averaging 15 PPG. There’s too much firepower here from XXXL. While Ron Du was sleeping with his feet up on his draft table, waking up only to disrupt his partners fine work, using a 10th round pick on unknown Elton Chisom was a dreadful pick. While this nonsense was happening, Ralph Campano was spinning gold. It’s time to recognize this mans contributions to this team and the OSFL. He and XXXL fly under the radar every year and every year they inch closer to a championship. This team is dangerous. This is the team to beat in the Metro West division. They’re undefeated and own the top offense in the division. TWB isn’t catching any breaks from the schedule maker early, they’re running the gauntlet. I’m taking XXXL who look very strong to start the season.                                       

The Wolfpack (1-1) Vs Bronx Swag (0-2)

Bronx Swag enters this game needing a win to get their season on track. Lamar Jackson enters week 3 averaging 50PPG and it’s a true average because he scored 49 points in week 1 (3 TD’s) and 51 in week 2 (4 TD’s). There could be more fireworks for Jackson and the Ravens as they face the Lions on Monday night. Christian McCaffrey entered week 2 leading all RB’s with 50 touches, while averaging 40 PPG. Thru 2 weeks I’ve been wrong about McCaffrey because he’s still the focal point of the 49ers offense and still getting fed at the rate he did when he was in his prime. CMC is on pace for over 400 touches. I stand by my statement that I don’t know how he survives the entire season with that type of punishment and usage at 29 years old, but he’s been very productive thus far. He’s still an upper echelon RB1 in 2025. Thru 2 games, Tony Pollard is averaging 19.5 touches and 19.5 points per game. 1 point per touch is weak production. RB’s get .5 points per carry. Pollard hasn’t done much with his usage thus far. Pollard has only 1 catch, no TD’s and he’s lost a fumble. The TD Chase Brown scored in week 1 is saving him from the same lackluster production as Pollard. Brown has a bit more usage with 20.5 touches and a few more points with 22.5 PPG. 1.1 points per touch is nothing special for a RB. To put this into perspective, CMC is averaging 1.59 points per touch and the NFL leader, Derrick Henry is averaging 2.63 PPT and he played like crap last week. It doesn’t sound like a lot but the average margin of victory in the 3 closest games last week in the OSFL was 11 points. The difference between a RB averaging 1 PPT and 1.5 PPT on 20 touches is 10 points. It seems minor but it’s not. Jaylen Waddle played on Thursday night and scored a TD/21 points. Waddle has been solid thru 3 games, averaging 18.6 PPG and has scored a TD in back to back games. Garrett Wilson has been hampered by trash QB play throughout his career and he’s still managed to have 3 consecutive 1000 yard season while increasing his reception total every year in the league, never hauling in less than 83 catches in a season. In a perfect world Wilson is a high end WR2, but he’s been Bronx Swag’s WR1 the last 4 seasons. No one else has ever drafted Wilson in the OSFL except Bronx Swag. Ed Money loves this guy. Tyrod Taylor is capable for as long as he’s upright but he rarely lasts more than a handful of games. At 36, Taylor is the definition of a journeyman QB, having played in the NFL since 2011 for 7 different teams (Baltimore, Buffalo, Cleveland, LA Chargers, Houston, NY Giants and NY Jets). Hollywood Brown is a dart throw. He’s not any better than Calvin Ridley or Cedric Tillman at this stage of his career, but Frankie will be in New York City on Sunday night, the only Giants fan rooting for Hollywood Brown as they get smashed by the KC Chiefs. On draft day we looked at Ja’Tavion Sanders as our 20th and final pick. I think Bronx Swag made a nice selection in this past weeks supplemental draft however, Sanders week 3 opponent, The Atlantas Falcons have allowed 1 catch for 12 yards thru 2 games to tight ends this season. I don’t know why, I don’t get it, I’m just telling you the Atlanta Falcons are allowing 1.6 PPG to TE in 2025. That is the fewest amount of points allowed by any defense against any position (including kickers and defenses) this season. I get it, your 0-2 and Mark Andrews hasn’t done nothing yet, he’s averaging 2.7 PPG and yet that’s a point more than what Atlanta is allowing against TE’s. Andrews plays in prime time against Detroit who is allowing 12.5 PPG to the TE position and that game has the highest total (54 points) of the week. 

The Wolfpack struck a major victory against Dynamic Duo in week 2, to even their record at 1-1. Baker Mayfield is tough as nails and has delivered solid production for the better part of the last 3 years. I look at The Wolfpack’s RB’s and I throw up in my mouth a little. It’s gross. Jaylen Warren is the only true RB worth owning on The Wolfpack’s roster at this time. Warren is averaging 25.4 PPG, good enough for 16th overall at the position. In week 1 he scored a TD and in week 2 he caught 4-86, but his 3.4 YPC rushing average thru 2 games is abysmal. It’s the reason why I still think Kaleb Johnson will eventually take over. You cannot win many NFL games rushing the ball 3.4 YPC. While actual NFL play doesn’t always correlate to fantasy production, the goal in the NFL is to win games and if teams aren’t winning games, changes are usually made. I was happy sad for Nick Chubb last Monday night when he scored his first TD for Houston. Happy for him that he did it, but sad to watch him run so hard on one leg. You could’ve made the argument that this guy was the best pure RB in the NFL from 2018 thru 2022. Then his knee bent the wrong way in a week 2 game on Monday night against the Steelers in 2023. He’s never been the same. Until further notice, Chubb is the RB2 in The Wolfpacks offense and that is a scary, scary proposition. Your clicking that button because you have to, but you’re looking away and grimacing when you do it. Ewww. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a monster. He’s the best player on this roster right now and they have CeeDee Lamb. JSN has arrived. He will never be drafted in the 3rd round again. The Wolfpack stole him. Thur 2 games, He’s caught 17 passes for 227 yards. He’s averaging 38.3 PPG and he hasn’t scored a TD yet. He is a scary monster. CeeDee Lamb is the WR2 on this offense. I actually just laughed out loud when I wrote that, but he is. Lamb has been Mr. Consistency scoring 35 and 39 points respectively and he hasn’t scored a TD yet. There are levels to this and the JSN/Lamb tandem is at the peak. Ladd McConkey has had a slow start to his sophomore season. Points per touch is obviously higher for WR’s than it is for RB’s. 4 points per touch is a high level. Malik Nabers is currently the #1 WR and his is at 6.7 PPT, that is elite level. McConkey and Terry McLauren are 3 PPT which isn’t terrible but they aren’t getting enough touches. The points per touch only tell part of the story because if your WR is only getting 3 or 4 touches per game (like McLauren) that’s not helping anyone. 5 touches per game and 4 points per touch means you're starting in anyones lineup. The Mc’s need to see more usage. Thru 2 games, Harold Fannin Jr. has been the 2nd most productive rookie TE (after Tyler Warren/29.4 PPG) averaging 18 PPG which has been good enough to rank him as the #9 overall TE. Now it has only been 2 weeks and Fannin Jr plays for the Browns and David Njoku also plays for the Browns. The Browns face the Packers who’s defense has looked great, but they’re terrible against TE’s. The Packers have allowed 29 PPG to TE’s (top 5 most) which is almost as many points per game that they allow to RB’s (30.4) which is top 10 least. Before I give my prediction on this game, The Wolfpack also have to deal with the top kicker in the OSFL/NFL. In week 2, the only non-QB in Bronx Swag’s lineup who scored more than Brandon Aubrey/34.2 points was CMC/36.2 points. Last week Bronx Swag traded kicker Tyler Loop to The Wolfpack and he put them over the top to gain victory. Will Loop come home to roost again, this time against the team who traded him? I think this could be an extremely close game which will undoubtedly be determined in the 4th quarter of the Monday night game. I’m taking Bronx Swag to win.             

G’ss Mafia (1-1) Vs Allbrite Picks (1-1)

Allbrite Picks enters this contest a little beat up. Jayden Daniels is OUT with a knee injury, but the highest scoring rookie WR thru the first 2 weeks Emeka Egbuka/25 PPG and the #1 TE Tucker Kraft/35 PPG who are both questionable are expected to play. Sitting Kraft last week cost Allbrite Picks the win. Trevor Lawrence take the helm this week for the injured Daniels. Lawrence threw 3 TD’s last week. It was his first 3 TD game since December 2023. Derrick Henry went from scoring 71 points in week 1, to scoring 7 points in week 2. He did fumble for the second week in a row, but Henry is a prime time player playing in prime time. I expect him to bounce back with a solid performance on Monday night. Now that Aaron Jones is OUT, Jordan Mason has a golden opportunity as the top RB in Minnesota. He hasn’t shown much yet, averaging 14.6 PPG over the first 2 games. Drake London has 11 catches and is averaging under 3 PPT (2.94). It’s not enough, not enough touches and definitely not enough points per touch. After Egbuka, Chris Olave has scored the most points at WR on this roster, averaging 18.6 PPG. Evan Olave’s 2.83 PPT is low. The usage is there for these WR’s but the efficiency is not. George Pickens scored his first TD of the season last week. Pickens has the highest (4.1 PPT) of any of these WR’s, but his usage (8 touches) needs to increase. Tucker Kraft has scored a TD in both games and hit a double bonus last week. 

Even though Jared Goff is coming off of a 334 yard/5 TD/76 point performance, G’ss Mafia will continue to roll with Bo Nix who did throw 3 TD’s last week. Goff is generally better at home, but in his final 2 road games of 2024, Goff threw 300+ yards and 3 TD’s and he did this 3 times overall on the road last season. Nix has 4 career TD’s passes in 2 games vs the Chargers. Breece Hall played great in week one, rushing for 100+ yards but then the Jets were destroyed by the Bills in week 2 and Hall disappeared. Hall has some good match ups on the horizon. JK Dobbins has scored a TD in 10 of his last 16 games, including 1 TD in each of the first 2 games of 2025. G’ss Mafia has a solid group of WR’s, all of whom are underperforming. It starts with Justin Jefferson. He hasn’t shown much, just 7 catches through 2 games which is ridiculous. The Vikings will not win many games unless Jefferson is a major part of their offensive game plan. 3.5 catches per game for Jefferson is a recipe for disaster for the Vikings. With the exception of the second half of game 1, JJ McCarthy has looked like trash. He will not play in week 3 and then the Vikings hit the road playing in Ireland and England in weeks 4 and 5. It has yet to be determined if McCarthy makes the trip to Europe with the Vikings. Carson Wentz will make NFL history on Sunday when he starts an NFL game for the 6th different team in consecutive seasons (Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Washington, LA Rams, KC and now Minnesota. Justin Jefferson has played with much worse QB’s than Wentz. He’s put up BIG numbers with guys like Nick Mullens and Joshua Dobbs. I am not worried about Justin Jefferson at all at this point. I am a little worried about Brian Thomas Jr. I think his wrist injury may be a little more serious than we’re being told. I just don’t know what to think of Marvin Harrison Jr. He’s been so inconsistent and he hasn’t performed anywhere near where a lot of people, including myself expected him to. Jameson Williams has the highest PPT in the OSFL at 7.5 PPT, but he only has 6 touches! He averages more points than he has touches. That’s efficiency on a whole other level. These guys need much more involvement in their respective teams offensive game plans or their teams are going to lose a lot of games. Sam Laporta hit a bonus in week 1, then disappeared in week 2 when his Lions scored 52 points, say what? How is that even possible? Since 2009, The Lions have used a 1st round pick on a TE four times. In 2009 - Brandon Pettigrew, in 2014 - Eric Ebron, in 2019 TJ Hockenson and in 2023 - Laporta. Each of them had early success but none of them repeated that early success, at least not with the Lions. I’m starting to wonder if Laporta should be ranked in the top 5 TE’s going forward, the place he’s been drafted over the last 2 years. Derrick Henry should return to form on Monday night, but I think the loss of Jayden Daniels and the overall lack of health at Allbrite may be tough to overcome. I expect at least two of G’ss Mafia’s WR’s deliver the type of games we’ve come to expect and that will be the deciding factor. I like G’ss Mafia’s to win.                      

Two Cowboys (2-0) Vs 3 All The Way (1-1)

The Cowboys are the reigning, defending, undisputed, undefeated OSFL champions. They’re 2-0 with the #1 overall offense. They have never come into a season after winning the title looking this dominant. They have an old school offense with 4 top RB’s. You will have to look hard to find another RB who looks as good as Jonathan Taylor does in 2025. James Cook is definitely in the conversation and maybe Bijan Robinson, but that’s the list right now. Josh Jacobs has been solid scoring a TD in his first 2 games, making it 10 consecutive games with a TD dating back to 2024. Chuba Hubbard has scored a receiving TD in each of his first 2 games. I said last week, when Kenneth Walker is healthy he’s a 30 point player. In week 2, he rushed for 100+ yards and scored a TD, compiling 37.3 points. Zay Flowers has caught 7 passes in each of his first 2 games and is averaging a hair under 5 PPT. That equates to 35 PPG. Zay currently ranks as the 8th best WR in the OSFL. DK Metcalf may have switched teams, but his usage remains at subsistence levels, averaging 3.5 touches per game. The Cowboys round out this offense with, you guessed it… Cowboys. In week 2, both Dak Prescott and Jake Ferguson had their best games since December 2024 (361 yards and 2 TD’s and 9-78). 

3 All The Way won their week 2 game despite Jalen Hurts having his worst game since December 2023. It’s still early but the first RB drafted in the NFL/OSFL, Ashton Jeanty disappointed again. He’s rushed 30 times for 81 yards - that’s a pathetic 2.7 YPC clip. It’s still early but Jeanty needs to start showing improvement soon. It’s do or die for Isiah Pacheco. 15 carries for 47 yards is 3.1 YPC, but worse than that, he has 3 receptions and zero TD’s. Pacheco is averaging less than 10 PPG. The Chiefs face the NY Giants who’ve allowed 355 rush yards thru 2 games. If Pacheco doesn’t put together a BIG game against the Giants, it’s all the evidence I need to see that he might be cooked. I like Isiah Pacheco but it’s show me time. He’s killing 3ATW. Both of these guys are. Cooper Kupp showed signs of life in week 2 (7-90/23 points), while Courtland Sutton disappeared. Nobody on this team is pulling their weight except Puka Nacua and Trey McBride. Puka Nacua is the best player on this team, averaging 41 PPG. Trey McBride is one of the best TE’s in the league, averaging 24 PPG. Nacua and McBride are accounting for over 30% of 3ATW’s production thus far. 3 All The Way got creative and started TE Dalton Kincaid on Thursday night and he delivered (5-66 and a TD/23.6 points). This was a solid move. Last year part of the reason The Cowboys won the championship was because they were the least scored upon team in the OSFL. I’ll give you one guess who the least scored upon team in the OSFL is through 2 games. You guessed it… The Cowboys, but that’s not why their winning. This is a legitimately high powered offense. The fact that they’re flying without a net is besides the point, that’s just how these guys roll. Ron Zednik traded in one hood ornament (Kon) for another (Vin Roc) and The Cowboys haven’t skipped a beat. Like it or not, The Cowboys are the #1 contenders for their own crown. I don’t see the Cowboys losing this game. Maybe 3 All The Way gets improved production and consistency but I still don’t think they have the firepower to hang with The Cowboys. If they beat them, it would be the biggest upset of the season so far. I’m taking The Cowboys to roll.
