Game of the Week: Will Massimini (139.27) vs Brandon Saunders (131.44)
All-time H2H: Brandon leads series9-6
In a matchup that lived up to its designation, Will pulled off a very impressive victory in the game of the week.
Â
Three players in the matchup scored 30 or more points: Ashton Jeanty (35.43), George Pickens (30.85), and Puka Nacua (30.00). For Jeanty and Pickens, these represented new career highs.
Â
What do those three players have in common? All three are on Brandon’s roster. Unfortunately for him, his other six players combined for less than Jeanty’s total for the week and Will’s squad had better balance with only three players falling below double digits.

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 – 180.56
Sean Kennedy – 142.25
YTD Tom Brady Award Winner Record: 1-3
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.

Chuck Knox Award (Best Coach) Jeffery McDonald #1 in his career
For the first time in AFL history, not one manager netted positive points from coaching decisions. Four managers took no coaching risks and so avoided a negative coaching score. Of the four, Jeffery had the best optimization score of the week at 92 percent, meaning he had the least to gain by taking coaching risks.
Hue Jackson Award (Worst Coach) Alex Mayo #11 in his career (3rd most all-time)
Repeating as the Hue Jackson Award winner from Week 3, Alex cost his team a league-high 12.22 points by failing on both of his coaching risks in Week 4. He lost 3.90 points by starting Jake Bates instead of Chase McLaughlin at kicker, which was a failed coaching risk a week ago, too, and another 8.32 points by starting DJ Moore instead of D'Andre Swift at FLEX.
Managers took a combined 13 coaching risks this week and were successful on 2. The league's net point differential was -31.29
To date in 2025, the AFL has a .415 success rate on 53 total coaching risks with a -31.29 point differential
