Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
We're down to our final three weeks of the regular season, all of them featuring divisional matchups as the playoff picture comes into focus.
Eric Meyer had an incredible week, setting a new league-wide season high for points and the second highest team score in AFL history, just over 10 points off the all-time record.
Sorry to be getting this out after the week's games have already gotten under way, but let's jump right into things.
Game of the Week: Eric Meyer (194.95) vs Sean Kennedy (98.38)

Meanwhile, Sean failed to reach triple digits for the fifth time this season. Only Hunter Henry, with 21.65, cleared 16 points for the week.

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 – 154.93
TB Award Winner – 194.95
YTD Tom Brady Award Winner Record:5-7
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.

Chuck Knox Award (Best Coach) Evan Ash #17 in his career (most all-time)
Though he picked up his first competitive lineup infraction, Evan earned a league-high 15.70 points from coaching this week. He left an inactive Matthew Golden in his lineup, costing his team 3.90 points with Cooper Kupp on his bench, but he made up for that and then some by starting Jalen Hurts at quarterback instead of Drake Maye, a 19.60-point difference.
Hue Jackson Award (Worst Coach) William Battle #13 in his career (3rd most all-time)
Three failed coaching risks somehow did not make the difference in the outcome of William's game, but he did cost his team a league-high 31.42 points. He lost 5.43 points by picking up Devin Singletary instead of Bam Knight for a FLEX spot start, 11.79 points by starting Josh Allen at quarterback instead of Patrick Mahomes, and another 14.20 points by starting the Minnesota Vikings defense instead of the Green Bay Packers.
Managers took a combined 16 coaching risks this week and were successful on 6. The league's net point differential was -32.24
To date in 2025, the AFL has a .450 success rate on 171 total coaching risks with a -194.51 point differential

We're in the stretch run of the season and as managers can begin clinching playoff berths or division titles, those scenarios for the upcoming week will appear here.
Anthony Battle is in a position where he could lose out and still at least participate in a tiebreaker for a playoff spot. If he wins this week against Jeffery McDonald, he'll punch his ticket to the postseason for the second year in a row and the eighth time in his career.
Brandon Saunders can clinch a playoff spot this week if he beats Alex Kincaid and Sean Kennedy loses to Alex Mayo.
