Charlie is on a record scoring pace

Charlie's losing run against Joey ends at four, and Sean is unbeaten no more

Player of the week
Tetairoa McMillan
45.2 points, WR, for Mason
By the Chronicle staff

No team has ever had more points through four weeks than Charlie's 636.24. Elsewhere, Charlie beat Joey 168.52 to 124.22, ending a run of four straight losses in the series. Joey still leads the series 7-3. And, Sean's unbeaten start is over: Mason, who came in at 0-3, won 137.36 to 126.2.

Isaac is 4-0, the last unbeaten team in the league, though history isn't kind to 4-0 starts: none of the four teams to start 4-0 in league history went on to win the title. It is Isaac's first 4-0 start in seven seasons in the league. At the other end, Kyle is the last winless team, at 0-4, the seventh team in league history to start that way. Kyle hasn't started 0-4 since 2023.

Chris has had 596.32 points scored against them through four weeks, the 3rd-most in league history at this point of a season. Charlie's 342.24 over the last two weeks is the 4th-most in league history for back-to-back weeks.

A year ago after week 4, Ricci led the league at 4-0. Ricci, who went on to finish 3rd, is 1-3 this year.

Next week's game of the week is Evan against Sean.

Trades

Sean gets
  • WRLadd McConkeyLAC
Luke gets
  • WRDK MetcalfPIT
  • WRTerry McLaurinWAS

Timing favored Commisioner Goodhead, who bought a higher‑valued WR23 while the market was still pricing McConkey above McLaurin. BigMoBigDough sold the premium McConkey at a premium and bought two lower‑valued pieces, effectively cashing in. The deal makes sense because BigMoBigDough needed a healthy starter now, and Commisioner Goodhead can absorb McConkey’s foot issue with depth at WR. Commisioner Goodhead wins this trade, though he assumes the risk of McConkey’s lingering questionability.

Ricci gets
  • WRMike EvansSF
Charlie gets
  • RBAaron JonesMIN

By swapping a veteran WR for a veteran RB, each manager signals a shift in positional focus for the season. Kyle’s Foreskin is saying he values a more reliable WR slot, while tinfoil99 is indicating a need to bolster his backfield depth. Kyle wins this trade, acquiring the higher‑valued Mike Evans, and tinfoil99 takes on the lower‑valued Aaron Jones. The move leaves tinfoil99 with a modest downgrade in overall package value, while Kyle gains a clear upgrade in weekly upside.

Four weeks later: Isaac and Charlie

Brock Bowers has kept his TE1 production alive, anchoring tinfoil99’s lineup while Zay Flowers and Javonte Williams have both stayed solid contributors. Meanwhile, IsAAcShake’s new TE, Dallas Goedert, remains sidelined and the team’s RB8 Derrick Henry is battling a dip in efficiency, leaving a net shortfall at the top spots. The balance of value still favors tinfoil99, so the original grades stand.

Four weeks later: Sean and Ricci

Tee Higgins exploded into a weekly WR1 while Malik Nabers has been limited by lingering knee issues and remains a bench option. The surge from Higgins and solid contributions from Robinson give Kyle’s Foreskin the productive depth they needed, whereas Commisioner Goodhead’s upgrade never materialized. This flips the advantage, nudging Commisioner Goodhead’s grade down and lifting Kyle’s Foreskin’s grade.
