Week 2 Previews

September 13, 2025

The dust has settled from Week 1 and teams are eager to stack some W’s. While the Irish Pride are the team to beat, the Scallywags now have a target on their back. That top position can be a volatile one, so let’s see how long they can hang onto it.

With two 0-1 teams facing each other this week (Monsters/TacoMan), we are guaranteed to still have a winless team. Also, two 1-0 teams are matched up (Irish/Jesters), so there will also be at least 1 undefeated team going into next week. Two different emotions for at least 2 teams here.

These matchups previews have a mix of commish commentary, Ai breakdowns, and Brock Bannon.

WIth that said, let’s look at the matchups.

Game of the week

#2 JESTERS (1-0) VS #5 IRISH PRIDE (1-0)

The Irish have continued their winning ways by starting off 1-0 with a solid win against the Dark Warriors. Jalen Hurts looks great and the Irish’s #1 pick in Bijan Robinson looks like a solid one. The Jesters won as well last week. They knocked off Joe Buck Yourself in a tight game. Miami’s team was only 1 of 2 teams to score over 100 last week. If they do that again, the Irish could be in trouble.

The Jesters currently lead the career series in this battle with a record of 14-10, However, the Irish did win their last meeting in a nailbiter (109-106). This matchup has all of the looks of a hard fought battle.

ESPN is giving the edge to the Jesters by a score of 109-102. Could a team led by Kyler Murray and round out by 2 Dolphin players actually take down the champ? YES! The power of Derrick Henry can do anything! If they pull it off though, it will be tough. The Irish have a lot of weapons that could light up the scoreboard. Jesters will need every hard fought yard to pull it off.

🎭 Miami Jesters vs. ☘️ Irish Pride — Week 2 Matchup Preview

The curtain is rising on what could be one of the most entertaining matchups of the week: the Miami Jesters trying to juggle their way past the defending powerhouse Irish Pride.

The Jesters are bringing fireworks to the stage. Kyler Murray is projected for over 22 points, ready to dance around Carolina’s defense, while Tyreek Hill can single-handedly turn a matchup upside down with one sprint down the sideline. Add in Derrick Henry’s bulldozing runs and rookie Malik Nabers looking to prove he belongs in the spotlight, and this lineup has both flash and power. The question? Can the supporting cast like T.J. Hockenson and D’Andre Swift step up and keep the act from falling flat.

Meanwhile, the Irish Pride are trying to keep their championship aura alive. Jalen Hurts leads the charge with his dual-threat magic, and Bijan Robinson looks primed for another highlight-reel week. Tee Higgins and Terry McLaurin bring plenty of steady hands to the passing game, while Javonte Williams could be the unsung hero against the Giants. Irish Pride’s real advantage may come from its balance—every starter can chip in, making them tough to knock out even if one star has a quiet game.

But fantasy football is never played on paper. If Tyreek explodes for one of his trademark monster games, the Jesters could turn this into a runaway. On the other hand, if Hurts and Bijan both go off, Irish Pride has the championship pedigree to steal the show late.

X-Factor for the Jesters: Tyreek Hill — if he torches New England, it’s curtains for Irish Pride.
X-Factor for Irish Pride: Jalen Hurts — a huge primetime performance in Kansas City could be the equalizer.

📌 Prediction: The Jesters’ star power shines just a little brighter, pulling off a 118–106 win over Irish Pride.

#6 GB GAMBLERS (0-1) VS #1 SWASHBUCKLING SCALLYWAGS (1-0)

Well, we’ll give the Scallywags credit while we still can. Here they are atop the league. But now they face the Gamblers, a team who has given them trouble over the years. The Scallywags are only 9-16 against them and the Gamblers are hungry. They fell to the Dawgs last week and scored the lowest points in the league. That is something the Gamblers just aren’t used to.

🎲 Green Bay Gamblers
The Gamblers are rolling the dice this week with rookie QB Bo Nix at the helm. He’s got a solid projected 19.7 points against the Colts, and he’s going to need every bit of that to stay ahead of a strong Scallywags squad.

RBs James Conner and Breece Hall provide a mix of reliability and upside, while Saquon Barkley in the FLEX could be the ace up the sleeve — if the Eagles let him cook against KC.

The WR corps features Drake London and Davante Adams, both with juicy matchups and big-play potential. TE Evan Engram rounds out the receiving threats in what could be a high-scoring affair in Indy.

Baltimore’s D/ST and Chris Boswell will look to provide the steady floor to keep this high-wire act from falling.

🏴‍☠️ Swashbuckling Scallywags
The Scallywags have hoisted the sails behind the cannon arm of Josh Allen, who leads the charge with a projected 25.2 points. If he torches the Jets like a true pirate lord, it could spell trouble for the Gamblers.

In the backfield, Chuba Hubbard and Kenneth Walker III are hoping to swindle some fantasy gold, while TreVeyon Henderson is a sneaky FLEX play with boom potential.

At WR, Puka Nacua continues to shine as a target monster, and Jerry Jeudy could provide the splash play that turns the tide. Sam LaPorta, while projected modestly at TE, could still find buried treasure in the red zone.

The Rams’ D/ST and rookie kicker Cam Little round out the squad, looking to fire just enough shots to stay afloat in a tight matchup.

#3 The Pimps (1-0) VS #8 Darque Warriors (0-1)

These guys have been trading blows for a long time. Their series matchup has the Warriors leading the Pimps 17-15 with a 2 game winning streak against the Pimps. But, The Pimps are heading out of the gates strong this year. They decided it was smart to start the year with a win!

👑 The Pimps
The Pimps are rolling into Week 2 with confidence and swagger, led by the always-electric Patrick Mahomes, who faces a shootout special against Philly. If he goes nuclear, the Warriors could be playing catch-up all Sunday long.

RBs Jonathan Taylor and Kyren Williams provide a solid 1-2 punch, with Williams projected for a monster 16.7 points. Rookie Trey Benson in the FLEX adds a wildcard flair, while WRs Nico Collins and Zay Flowers bring big-play upside.

TE Tucker Kraft already posted 6.1 on Thursday night, getting the Pimps out of the gates early. The Cardinals’ D/ST and Wil Lutz round out a lineup that looks like it’s built to dominate in the margins.

🌑 Darque Warriors
The Warriors are living up to their name—dark, dangerous, and ready to wreck projections. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels just dropped 23.7 on Thursday night, announcing his arrival with authority. That’s a strong head start in a close matchup.

Jahmyr Gibbs and Alvin Kamara are dual-threat nightmares, and could combine for over 25 if they get going. The WR duo of A.J. Brown and Garrett Wilson bring elite ceilings, while David Njoku offers sneaky red zone potential.

DJ Moore in the FLEX is due for a breakout, and the Lions D/ST and kicker Jake Bates round out a lineup that’s quietly explosive.

PREDICTION: Warriors slap a hoe….and a Pimp. Both teams go to 1-1.

#9 Tacoman9000 (0-1) VS #7 Midway Monsters (0-1)

These two are a little frustrated. They started with losses to terrible teams and now they’re here to try it again. They faced each other for the first time last season and TacoMan9000 handily beat the Monsters 92-71. But Midway isn’t looking to continue last season’s ways.

🌮 Tacoman9000
Tacoman9000 is ready to serve up a spicy fantasy lineup that’s stacked with explosive potential. Leading the way is Justin Herbert, who’s got a primetime Monday night duel with the Raiders and a projected 21 points—he could be the closer in this matchup.

Rookie sensation Omarion Hampton joins Tony Pollard and Jaylen Warren in a backfield trio that brings both power and versatility.

Through the air, Justin Jefferson is back doing alien things, and rookie WR Brian Thomas Jr. is looking to capitalize on a favorable matchup against the Bengals. TE Trey McBride is heating up, and the Bills D/ST and Matt Prater should benefit from a Jets offense still finding its identity.

👹 Midway Monsters
The Monsters are lurking with menace, led by a (finally healthy?) Joe Burrow, who’s projected for a cool 24.3 points against the Jags. If he clicks early, things could get scary for Tacoman9000.

RBs James Cook and David Montgomery form a sneaky-strong duo, and the WRs—CeeDee Lamb and Amon-Ra St. Brown—are elite fantasy monsters in their own right, capable of taking over any week.

TE Brock Bowers and FLEX option Tetairoa McMillan add a dose of youth and upside, and the always-scary 49ers D/ST and Cameron Dicker (the kicker) round out a team that looks built for balance and blow-ups.

📣 Final Word:
This matchup has “Sunday sweat + Monday night madness” written all over it. Tacoman9000 brings the flash and firepower, but the Midway Monsters are deeper than the Chicago fog and just as dangerous. Expect a back-and-forth thriller with Monday night heroics deciding the victor.

Prediction: Tacoman9000 edges it—barely—if Herbert goes off under the Vegas lights. But if Burrow returns to form early? The Monsters may just rise from the depths.

#5 Top Dawgs (1-0) VS #6 Joe buck yourself (0-1)

The Dawgs were the lowest scoring winner last week and Joe Buck Yourself was the highest scoring loser. Now they face off. JBY leads this series 2-1, but the Dawgs topped them last time 119-96. Every game is big in this league, and this one is no exception.

🔥🏈 Week 2 Fantasy Matchup Preview: Top Dawgs vs. Joe Buck Yourself

The stage is set for a nail-biter in Week 2 of the Crunchtime Fantasy Football League, as Top Dawgs square off against Joe Buck Yourself in what’s shaping up to be one of the closest matchups of the week.

Top Dawgs bring plenty of firepower into this one. Lamar Jackson headlines the lineup, projected for a hefty 27 points against Cleveland. Add in Christian McCaffrey, who’s good for highlight reels and touchdowns every week, plus Ja’Marr Chase against Jacksonville, and this roster is packed with proven stars. With DK Metcalf and Mike Evans filling out the wide receiver slots, the Dawgs have both upside and experience. Their biggest challenge will be consistency—can Aaron Jones and Juwan Johnson chip in enough to keep the points flowing?

On the other side, Joe Buck Yourself is looking to ride the momentum of a strong Week 1 from Josh Jacobs, who finds himself in a favorable matchup against Washington. Trevor Lawrence, though inconsistent at times, has the potential to keep pace with Lamar if he finds his groove against the Bengals. The rest of the lineup leans heavily on upside: Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Emeka Egbuka may be young, but if either pops off, Joe Buck could close the gap fast. Rookie Ashton Jeanty is a real wild card—boom potential written all over him.

It may all come down to Monday night, with Ashton Jeanty still in play for Joe Buck Yourself. If the Dawgs have already built a comfortable lead by then, they could cruise to victory. But if it’s close, we might see one of those dramatic prime-time finishes that makes fantasy football so addictive.

Key Storylines to Watch:

Can Lamar Jackson outduel Trevor Lawrence and set the tone early?
Will Ja’Marr Chase finally have a breakout week?
Could Ashton Jeanty’s Monday night heroics decide the entire matchup?

This one looks like a true coin flip, but the Dawgs have the star power advantage. Joe Buck will need some breakout performances to pull the upset.

📌 Prediction: Top Dawgs edge out Joe Buck Yourself in a thriller, 112–106.
