Congrats to Wichita Walt, our 2024 GLF champion. And to the Weemsters for being the Super Bowl winner.
There's still a game tonight, but almost everything decided already. The Winged Warriors, led by QB Josh Allen, have beaten the OG Cardinals to secure the fourth title in franchise history with an 12-5 record, previously winning in 1996, 2004 and 2016.
The Weemsters beat the Madd Dogs in the Super Bowl, their third in franchise history winning also in 2011 and 2017, but Wichita Walt winning his game denied the Weemsters from being the first team to win back-to-back championships since 1998 and 99 win Mike Friedel (no longer in the league) accomplished it. The Weemsters finish in second place with an 11-6 record, and also win the scoring title by a comfortable margin, and will end up with 50 percent of the total prize pot.
Still to be determined is third place between the Roosters and OG Cardinals, but the Roosters can claim that by closing out a win tonight against the Big Czeck. The Czeck needs two TDs from George Kittle tonight without Brock Purdy scoring, which seems unlikely. The Roosters would get to 11-6 with the win, one game ahead of the Cardinals, who would own the tiebreaker if both end up tied.
The Pickem' contest still has next week to go to determine the winner, with the Madd Dogs holding a one-game lead over the Weemsters.
More to come later with the financial payouts.
One Cinderella advances to the Super Bowl, while another falls just short, and three teams still have a chance win the league championship as we head into the final week.
The Madd Dogs entered the playoffs with a 3-10 record but have won three straight playoff games, including an upset over the top-seeded Roosters this week. They will play the Weemsters, the league's leading scorer, in the Super Bowl this week. The winner gets 20 percent of the pot for winning the playoff tournament.
Meanwhile, Wichita Walt has moved back into first place overall and will play the OG Cardinals this week in a matchup of the two highest other seeds. A win would give the Warriors the title;
Here's a rundown team by team:
Wichita Walt -- Wins the title with a win, drops to either second or third with a loss, depending on whether the Weemsters win the Super Bowl or not. The Warriors could actually drop to fourth if they lose, and the Roosters outscore the Warriors by 69 points in the final week, which seems unlikely.
Weemsters - A lot riding on the final week for the Weemsters, who have a 48-point lead in the scoring race. They could sweep all the honors if they win the Super Bowl, and Wichita Walt loses his game. That would give the Weemsters first overall, and 70 percent of the pot. The Weemsters take second if they win, and Wichita Walt wins. But if the Weemsters loses, and the OG Cardinals and Roosters both win, the Weemsters drop all the way out of the money to fourth place, though they would likely still win the scoring title.
OG Cardinals - The Cardinals made a dramatic comeback this week against the St. Louis Browns to move into third place, which gave them a matchup against Wichita Walt this week. The Cardinals can win the league championship if they win, and the Weemsters win. A loss, and they finish either third or fourth, depending on whether the Roosters win their game.
Roosters -- Eliminated from title hopes with the loss this week, they can still take second with a win, a Wichita Walt win and a Weemsters loss in the Super Bowl. They take third if the Cardinals win and Weemsters lose, but finish out of the money in fourth if both the Cardinals and Weemsters win.
Big Czeck - Unless the Big Czech outscore the Cardinals by 68 points, they lose tiebreakers to both the Cardinals and Weemsters, so the best they can likely do is fourth place with a win
Madd Dogs - It's all or nothing in the Super Bowl this week for a 20 percent share of the pot. The Dogs are also leading the pickem contest by three games, with two weeks stlll to go there.
The Scotts, Browns, Bucking Broncos and Hurricanes have been eliminated. The Broncos came so close to getting into the Super Bowl but Jordon Love not able to get that second TD Monday night. If Love had scored one more, it would have changed a lot of the things in the league seedings and title chances of several teams. The Browns are second in scoring an have a longshot chance of catching the Weemsters but must must outscore them by 48 points this week.
A couple of upsets in the playoffs this week as the No. 1 and 2 seeds fall and a couple of Cinderellas -- the Dogs and Broncs -- march on to the semifinals. The Roosters now hold the top seed and face the Madd Dogs while the hottest team in the league and leading scorer Weemsters take on the Bucking Broncos.
Two weeks left in the regular season and Wichita Walt, though they lost in the playoffs, still hold the lead in the regular season standings with more points than the Roosters. The two 9-7 teams and the two 8-5 teams are both still alive, but obviously need to win and have the leaders drop a game or two. And nobody wants to be tied with the Weemsters, who have opened up pretty good scoring leading with the Browns 40 behind in second. The non playoff teams are seeded and go 1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 5, 3 vs. 6. Next week, the Super Bowl matchup and then power seeding with 1 vs. 2, 3 vs. 4, etc., among the other teams.
With three weeks to go in the Pickem contest, the Madd Dogs hold the lead with Weemsters and Broncos not far behind.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dissly was targeted six times, making five catches for 42 yards. His touchdown came on a two-yard pass from Justin Herbert near the beginning of the fourth quarter. Dissly ended up second on the team in catches and third in targets. Stone Smartt, who had been splitting tight end work with Dissly, finished the game without a single target. Dissly should remain the top tight end option for the Bolts on Saturday when they face the Texans in the first round of the playoffs.

Wide receiver Chris Conley had one of his best games as a San Francisco 49er during a 47-24 loss to the Cardinals in Arizona on Sunday. The 32-year-old journeyman caught all four targets for 59 yards receiving from backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs. The yardage and reception totals more than doubled Conley's 2024 production entering Week 18. Conley's stat line looks very similar to his only other productive game with San Francisco, which came on the final game of last season (three receptions for 69 yards). Over his 10-year career so far, Conley has amassed 226 receptions for 2,998 yards and 15 touchdowns. Conley will be an unrestricted free agent this summer and will likely be off the fantasy radar wherever he lands.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver D.J. Chark scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Chark was targeted three times, making his only catch for a six-yard touchdown at the end of the second quarter. It was Chark's only touchdown of the season, as he ended up making just four catches this season. He missed some time due to injury, but even when healthy he was unable to move up the Chargers wide receiver depth chart. He likely won't be a factor when the playoffs start for the Bolts on Saturday against the Houston Texans.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Derius Davis got just two touches in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Davis ran the ball once, losing one yard on the play. He was also targeted once in the passing game, making a catch for a five-yard gain. Davis had been making a little noise over the past couple of games, but he fell back into a support role in this one, which is likely the role he'll play in the playoffs, starting on Saturday in the Wild Card Round against the Houston Texans.

Dynasty | Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 25-of-34 passes for 251 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a win against Atlanta. Dynasty Analysis: This was just the second game where Young threw for at least three touchdowns in his two-year career. More importantly, Young has looked very competent with twelve touchdown passes and just three interceptions in his last three games. While his numbers aren't eye-popping, it seems Carolina may have just resurrected his career and salvaged some dignity in the process. Young seems entrenched as the starter in Carolina moving forward and should be an upside QB2 moving forward.
Dynasty | Falcons receiver Drake London caught ten passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Panthers. Dynasty Analysis: London clearly has chemistry with new quarterback Michael Penix and finishes the season with 100 catches for 1,271 yards and nine touchdowns. While not quite a WR1, it's not hard to see London getting there next season. He seems like an upside buy in dynasty leagues moving forward.
Dynasty | Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had 170 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a loss against Carolina. Dynasty Analysis: After a frustrating rookie season, Robinson exploded this year with 1,456 receiving yards, 61 catches, 431 receiving yards, and 15 total touchdowns. It seems the Falcons have truly realized he's their best option and that bodes well moving forward. It's hard to see another running back taking his spot as the dynasty RB1 this off-season as a result.
Dynasty | Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill may want to leave Miami. Dynasty Analysis: The enigmatic Hill indicated his time with the Dolphins may be over in an odd exchange with reporters after the game. While this may be much ado about nothing, it's clear Hill is not thrilled with Miami failing to make the playoffs and some uncertainty at quarterback long-term. We'll wait and see what the coming days bring, but Hill's dynasty value is going to hinge on what happens with him in the coming weeks and months.
Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter scored his first rushing touchdown of the season in the 47-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers. With running backs James Conner (knee) and Trey Benson (ankle) inactive for the season finale, Michael Carter stepped in as the starting running back and toted 17 carries for 43 yards. Carter was also active in the passing game, catching four passes for 16 yards. Carter showed some burst last season but struggled to get elevated off the practice squad in 2024. However, due to injuries at the top of the Cardinals' running back depth chart, Carter was elevated toward the end of the season and played with a lot of effort. The Cardinals' running game had another strong season in 2024, and Carter's contributions were a key part of that success.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride put an exclamation point on his Pro Bowl season, scoring a receiving touchdown in his second straight game during the win over the San Francisco 49ers. McBride's official stat line was seven catches for 65 yards and a touchdown. McBride is the clear leader of the Cardinals' passing game and had arguably the best season by a tight end in franchise history. He was one of the best positional advantages for fantasy managers all season and will be an early target in fantasy drafts next year.
From RotoBaller
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III hauled in four of seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers, ending their season. While he found the end zone just once all year, the performance caps off a productive campaign for the 28-year-old. The sixth-year pro set career highs (by a wide margin) with 87 targets, 62 catches, and 686 receiving yards. With Michael Penix Jr. looking like a competent passer, the Falcons offense could take a step forward next season. McCloud III should maintain some appeal in PPR leagues as the number three option behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey made five more catches to close out the regular season in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. McConkey was targeted eight times, making the five catches for 95 yards. He made a big play with a 47-yard gain and remained a key part of the Chargers passing game. In this one, however, Quentin Johnston (13 catches for 186 yards) was the focal point. The Bolts will take on the Houston Texans on Saturday in the first round of the playoffs.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins had an average game in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dobbins went up against a tough Raiders run defense and carried the ball 18 times, gaining 63 yards with a long of 10. He was also targeted three times in the passing game, coming up with three catches for 12 yards. Dobbins couldn't find a ton of room to run, and the Chargers gave backup Hassan Haskins a dozen carries likely to keep Dobbins fresh for next week's playoff opener against the Houston Texans.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Haskins ran the ball 12 times, gaining 33 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. His touchdown came on a two-yard run near the end of the fourth quarter. With the Chargers mostly in control of the game late, Haskins was able to get some more run while starter J.K. Dobbins, who got 18 carries, was able to rest. The Chargers next game will be a Wild Card playoff matchup against the Houston Texans, where Haskins is unlikely to repeat his dozen carries.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray threw for a season-high four touchdown passes in the 47-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the regular season finale. Murray had perhaps his best outing of the season, finishing with 25 completions on 35 attempts for 242 yards and four touchdowns. He also added three carries for 22 yards on the ground, ending the season on a high note and building momentum going into next year. This is big for the Cardinals' offense and Murray as they look to continue improving under head coach Jonathan Gannon. Murray and the Cardinals' passing game should have confidence as they aim to break through and make the playoffs next season.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had a career game in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnston led the team in targets, catches, and yards, all by a significant margin. He was targeted 14 times, making 13 catches for 186 yards. It was the second 100+ yard game of his career. He was the focal point of the offense, as no other Charger made more than five catches. It was an excellent game for "QJ" and he'll look to keep the momentum going on Saturday when the Bolts face the Houston Texans in the first round of the playoffs.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had a big game to close out the regular season in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Herbert completed 28 of his 36 pass attempts for 346 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 42 yards on the ground on four carries. Herbert had a long run of 41 yards that almost ended in a touchdown but was able to make one of his two touchdown passes right after to score the six points. That touchdown went to Will Dissly, and his other one went to D.J. Chark. Herbert took only one sack, losing 10 yards on the play. He and the Bolts will face the Texans on Saturday in the Wild Card Round.
From RotoBaller
San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall followed last week's breakout game with another strong showing in Sunday's 47-24 Week 18 loss to the Cardinals in Arizona. The Arizona native caught six of eight targets for 69 yards, including a six-yard touchdown grab on a contested slant pattern from backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Pearsall, who started his 49ers career on a terrifying note -- being shot in the chest during an armed robbery attempt -- had an up-and-down year once he debuted in Week 7. Pearsall produced four fantasy-useful performances in 2024 but seven in which he was held below six half-PPR points. With momentum and the validation of his first-round pedigree this season, Pearsall could be an intriguing late-round fantasy pick in 2025 depending on the health of Brandon Aiyuk's knee, and if Pearsall can move past Jauan Jennings and/or Deebo Samuel Sr. in the 49ers' hierarchy.
From RotoBaller
New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper caught four of his six targets for 27 yards during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills. The veteran tight end handled an increased workload in the regular-season finale, playing 67.2 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps with Hunter Henry (foot) sidelined. The 30-year-old finished as a low-end TE2 in fantasy football this season with 45 catches, 476 yards, and three touchdowns. Hooper was a pleasant surprise during his first year in New England, maintaining a significant role on offense despite being listed second on the depth chart behind Henry. He's slated to hit free agency in March but could be a priority re-signing for the Patriots' next coaching regime.
From RotoBaller
New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye went 2-for-2 on extra points and 3-for-3 on field goals during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills. He converted field goals from 41, 42, and 50 yards out. The 28-year-old finished as a top-24 fantasy kicker this season, demonstrating impressive power but dealing with accuracy issues and handling reduced opportunities on a Patriots team that struggled to score points. All in all, he finished the 2024 campaign with 95.8 percent accuracy on extra points and 78.8 percent accuracy on field goals. This season was far from a disaster, and Slye did provide more stability in 2024 than Chad Ryland did as a rookie with the Patriots in 2023. Still, the Patriots may look to bring in a different kicker as they head into the 2025 campaign. Slye is slated to hit free agency in March.
