All-time H2H: Eric leads series 11-8
Overall, this was an even contest between the top two teams in the league entering Week 10. Brandon had a slight advantage at QB while Eric took the RB points thanks in part to one more in his lineup.
Â
Both started two wide receivers, and Brandon had a decided edge there despite Jaxon Smith-Njigba having the most points at the position in Eric’s lineup. Though Oronde Gadsen contributed almost nothing, Brandon had a huge advantage at tight end with Trey McBride taking the Shannon Sharpe Award for the week.
Â
Unfortunately for Brandon, his specialists just couldn’t take it home for him. Cameron Dicker outscored Michael Badgley by 7.50 points in Eric’s favor, and the Sabol Bowl IV champion had the pickup of the week with the New York Jets being the deciding factor. Their 34.20 points was the high score at the position for the week and their two return touchdowns accounted for more than Eric’s margin of victory.

All-time H2H: Alex leads series 6-4

Free Agent All-Stars vs Tom Brady Award Winner
Every week, we take the best possible lineup made of players who were available on waivers in the AFL at the end of the week and compare it to the top scoring team of the week in our league. Included percentages for the Free Agent All-Star players represent the percentage of FleaFlicker leagues in which each the player was rostered as of data gathering (usually Tuesday morning).
Final Score:
Free Agent All-Stars – 137.97
Alex Mayo – 151.36
YTD Tom Brady Award Winner Record: 4-6
IR Report
In our league, any player can be placed on IR regardless of injury designation. Once on IR, the player cannot be moved, dropped, or traded for a minimum of three weeks.
After Week 1, IR placements are retroactive to the prior week as long as the player was already on the team's roster but was not in the starting lineup during that prior week. This means those players will be eligible to come off IR after just a two-week stay.
Competitive Lineup Penalty Report
This year, we instituted a new rule requiring managers to start a full lineup of active players. A strike system penalizes managers who leave inactive players, or players on bye, in their starting lineup.
Strike 1: No penalty
Strike 2: Fine of $100 FAAB + move to back of all postseason tiebreakers
Strike 3: Repeat Strike 2 penalty + move to back of every round of next year's draft
Strike 4: Dismissal from AFL
Strikes clear in reverse order, two seasons (currently 30 regular season weeks) after the first earned strike.

The AFL scored 1,394.20 points in Week 10
This ranked #33 in league history out of 180 regular season weeks and is the highest scoring week of 2025 so far.
For the 12th time in AFL history, the top six scoring teams all won their games.
This has not happened twice in the same season since Week 12 and 13 in 2021. This was the first occurrence of 2025.
Brandon Saunders's league-leading active streak of 100-point games extended to 14, setting a new career high and standing alone as the third longest streak in AFL history.
Alex Kincaid's league-leading active drought of 100-point games extended to 6, setting a new career high and tying the third longest drought in AFL history.
Eric Meyer has an opportunity to clinch his division this week with a win and losses by all three of the following:
Stephen April (vs Alex Kincaid)
Evan Ash (vs Anthony Battle)
Will Massimini (vs Sean Kennedy)
There are eight other scenarios involving ties that could clinch Eric the AFL East title.
Additionally, Eric has 49 different paths to clinch a playoff spot this week, most of them involving ties. PlayoffComputer was rather exhaustive, too exhaustive, really, considering some scenarios are identical to others except with one game result flipped.
