Game of the Week: Eric Meyer (133.54) vs Anthony Battle (76.62)
All-time H2H: Eric leads series 10-6
Eric and Anthony entered Week 6 alone atop their respective divisions. They had identical 4-1 records, better than any of the other 10 AFL managers. They also each had 19 career Peyton Manning Award and were looking to become the first to hit 20 game-of-the-week victories.
Â
With Dak Prescott his lone 20-point scorer, and only Kyren Williams joining him over 15 points, Ant didn’t stand much of a chance this week. He was on an eight-game streak of reaching triple digits, but fell well short of that mark.
Â
Eric wound up blowing Ant out by more than 55 points on the strength of not one but three 20-point scorers, including Jaxon Smith-Njigba who recorded just his second career 20-point game in the AFL to lead Some Pulp in scoring. Both of Eric’s specialists came through with more than 15 points.

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 – 134.77
Will Massimini – 136.53
YTD Tom Brady Award Winner Record: 2-4
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) Will Massimini #13 in his career (5th most all-time)
Taking just one coaching risk, Will knocked it out of the park this week. By starting Cam Skattebo in his FLEX on Thursday night instead of Kenneth Walker on Sunday, Will earned a league-high 27.22 points, the most in league history off just one successful coaching risk.
Hue Jackson Award (Worst Coach) Alex Kincaid #11 in his career (t-5th most all-time)
The lone coaching risk on Alex's ledger this week came from leaving an injured Quentin Johnston in his lineup, his second competitive lineup penalty in as many weeks. If Alex had started Zach Ertz for him at FLEX as FleaFlicker recommended, he would have earned 13.15 more points and would have won his game.
Honorable Mention: Sean Kennedy cost his team a league-high 20.54 points by failing on two coaching risks. He lost 6.44 points by starting the Detroit Lions defense instead of the Washington Commanders, plus another 14.10 points by adding Cam Little for a spot start instead of picking up Nick Folk.
Managers took a combined 19 coaching risks this week and were successful on 8. The league's net point differential was - 23.19
To date in 2025, the AFL has a .434 success rate on 83 total coaching risks with a - 67.77 point differential
