This is a new type of article I'm trying for this league. I did some matchup prediction articles last season, but I've decided to mix it up this season. Instead, every week I will be breaking down the previous week's best fantasy player, the upcoming matchup of the week, and including a Monday Night Agony™️ tracker which should forecast some close matchups that may come down to Monday nights. I'm not going to include the same matchup for those to keep it fresh.

Also, if there's any extra stuff I want to add, I will have an "Around the League" section to talk about it. That probably won't be every week though.

Saquon Barkley - Bud Ice Penguins

Might be one of the greatest debut weeks from a player I can remember. Huge volume in both the rushing and passing games including TDs in both. Without Saquon, the Penguins don't have nearly as much of a statement win and don't feel nearly as good going into week 2. Based on this performance, Saquon will easily be in the RB1 mix, and the Bud Ice Penguins are still undefeated since the start of last season. Saquon was the top scorer of the week even outscoring the top QBs of the week. Unbelievable start for Saquon and the Penguins as well.

Sacks in the City vs. Ra-wdogging Ur Breece Hole

Battle of the teams with new names. Despite the wake-up call loss to Washington, Breece Hole (seriously f**k this name) is still a team that has some players to watch. This team needs a win and is coming up against a serious-looking Sacks in the City Squad coming off a solid divisional win. The main question is will Ra-wdogging Ur Breece Hole have the same name or players by Sunday when this thing starts. Some X-factors in this matchup include Kyren Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Justin Jefferson, and Derrick Henry. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this one all day Sunday and possibly into Monday as each team holds a key Atlanta Falcon.

Bud Ice Penguins vs. Slat's Slimes

Unless Tyler Allgeier or a waiver pickup gets a start, the Slimes will have their entire team done for the week by the end of the 4 o'clock games on Sunday. Noah on the other hand has two guaranteed starters who play on Monday, including the crucial Saquon Barkley. I would almost guarantee this thing isn't settled until Monday, with this projecting to be closer than you may think. If the Penguins get off to a slow start, this could be the late one to watch this week.

PSA - If you want to write something to put in this section one week, let me know. Could be cool to get some other voices in here.

Parma Pirates new logo

There has been some movement in team identities lately: the PGH Crooners / Krinkleburg team is now the Sacks in the City, and the team formerly known as the StepBurrows have come up with the worst team name in league history: Ra-wdoggin Ur Breece Hole. My Parma Pirates are staying the Parma Pirates, but I am changing the logo from the pirate kid to a more menacing look:
