    ALL HAIL THE REPEAT OFFENDER

    Coach Chuck does it again!!

    SUNDAY AT 1 — FINAL EDITION
    “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”

    One last kickoff. One last overreaction. One last chance to pretend we knew what we were doing all season. The money was on the line. The narratives were locked in. And the league wrapped up exactly how it always does: with chaos, regret, and one man standing over the wreckage holding a trophy.

    1 Way Raiders Can Give Pete Carroll a Memorable Birthday Gift

     

    PETE CARROLL INVITATIONAL:TOILET BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP 

    Red Zone Assassins (172.22) def. The Shottenheimers (134.82)

    This was not just a toilet bowl. This was a full porcelain-shattering event.

    Coach John kicked the stall door clean off its hinges behind a Brock Purdy masterclass. Nearly 48 points from Purdy, plus a nuclear Charbonnet game and vintage Ja’Marr Chase, turned what was supposed to be a shame parade into a victory lap. When the dust settled, the RZA didn’t just survive the Pete Carroll Invitational. They conquered it.

    Coach Chris did what Coach Chris does best when money is not on the line. He showed up. Lawrence ran, Stevenson cooked, and Amon-Ra stayed reliable, but it wasn’t enough to keep up with a team playing like they suddenly remembered how fantasy football works. Puka tried to help. The Rams defense tried harder than expected. Still flushed.

    RESULT:
    Red Zone Assassins claim the Pete Carroll Invitational Championship
    Prize: First choice of draft slot next season
    Reward for losing: Emotional growth. Maybe.

    Coach John: “We didn’t win the league. We won something better. Control.”

    Coach Chris: “This checks out.”

    ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

    PETE CARROLL APPROVED FINAL VERDICT

    RZA escape the sewer with power, leverage, and options.
    The Shottenheimers exit the same way they entered. Loud. Entertaining. Ultimately irrelevant.

    Next season starts now.
    And somewhere, Pete Carroll is clapping aggressively and chewing gum in approval.

    Mon Dec 29 7:08am ET
    I’m still in shock I made it to the championship game, let alone win it. It’s really the weather conditions that did in the performance of the Eagle players on Jobu’s squad. It’s been a tough year with injuries and unpredictable play week to week by usually high scoring top players my squad was a rag tag group that rose to the occasion during key matchups. Otherwise any of our teams could have played through to the championship on any given Sunday with their best performance. Have a great New Year e

    PCI Week 2

    Pete Carroll, Raiders WILL Be Playoff Contenders: NFL Insider

    PETE CARROLL INVITATIONAL – ROUND 2 RECAP
    Win and survive. Lose and clean the toilet bowl.

    This round separated the teams who still care from the teams already Googling “early fantasy draft strategies.” No money on the line, just pride, shame, and Pete Carroll’s eternal grin judging everyone.


    The Shottenheimers (205.36) def. Droppin’ Deuces (125.10)
    When the money is gone, Coach Chris becomes unstoppable. Trevor Lawrence cooked. James Cook cooked harder. And then Puka Nacua absolutely committed fantasy arson with 56.5 points. This was not a matchup. This was Coach Chris reminding the league that his team is very good at the exact wrong time.

    Coach Brad had some nice moments, but you cannot survive a nuclear Puka event. Droppin’ Deuces is officially flushed from the PCI.

    Coach Chris: “Imagine if this mattered.”


    Red Zone Assassins (159.50) def. Cranjis McBasketball (125.96)
    Brock Purdy dropped five touchdowns like it was a Tuesday drill, Ja’Marr Chase did Ja’Marr Chase things, and the Red Zone Assassins showed up angry and focused. Meanwhile, Cranjis tried to win a playoff game while starting Kareem Hunt and Josh Jacobs in witness protection mode.

    Coach Jackson fought hard, but this was the end of the road.

    Coach John: “Still alive. Still annoying.”

    WHO ADVANCES
    The Shottenheimers
    Red Zone Assassins

    Both teams now stand one step from Pete Carroll Invitational glory, heading into the championship fueled by confidence, chaos, and zero concern for how they got here.


    VIBE CHECK
    Coach Chris is putting up historic numbers now that no one can stop him.
    Coach John is fully embracing the “why not us” energy.
    And Pete Carroll is somewhere clapping aggressively and chewing gum at unsafe speeds.

    Championship round. The bowl is tiny. Pete Carroll chewed gum through your dignity and called it “competing.”

    PCI WEEK 1

     

    Show-And-Tell: Show Us Your Angry Face | KERA News

    Because someone has to win the toilet bowl.


    Red Zone Assassins (125.70) def. The Year (108.20)
    And just like that, The Year is over. Coach Neil got solid effort from CMC and Kyren, but once again the supporting cast vanished like a bye-week defense left in the lineup. Herbert looked lost, Diggs was quiet, and the door slammed shut. Coach John advances behind Brock Purdy actually playing quarterback and Ja’Marr Chase doing exactly what superstars do. Survival secured. Elimination confirmed.

    Coach John: “Survive and advance. Style points are optional.”


    The Shottenheimers (233.00) def. Buffalo Soldier (139.20)
    This one barely qualifies as a contest. Coach Chris unleashed pure postseason rage with a historic 233-point explosion. Trevor Lawrence went full boss mode, Amon-Ra became inevitable, and Puka lit the fuse. Coach Dave’s lineup wasn’t terrible, but that doesn’t matter when the other team is playing fantasy football on easy mode. Buffalo Soldier is officially bounced from the PCI after running into the wrong buzzsaw at the wrong time.

    Coach Chris: “One loss and you’re out? Cool. Let’s make it memorable.”


    PCI WEEK 1 BODY COUNT ☠️
    Eliminated: The Year, Buffalo Soldier
    Still Alive: Red Zone Assassins, The Shottenheimers

    Blink and you’re gone. That’s the Pete Carroll way.


    PCI WEEK 1 VIBE CHECK 

    Most Dangerous Remaining Team
    The Shottenheimers — Coach Chris just dropped 233 like it was a warmup drill. If this keeps up, the Pete Carroll Invitational is about to turn into a highlight reel narrated by pain.

    Cool and Calculated
    Red Zone Assassins — Didn’t explode, didn’t implode. Just did enough to send Neil home and keep the engine running. Quiet teams are always the ones you regret ignoring.

    Bye Week Menaces
    Cranjis McBasketball — Watching from the shadows with a clipboard and bad intentions. Coach Jackson didn’t have to play, which somehow makes this more unsettling.
    Droppin’ Deuces — Resting up, lurking, and absolutely capable of ruining someone’s week with zero warning and maximum embarrassment.

    Best Seat on the Couch
    The Year — Season ended exactly how it lived: decent effort, questionable decisions, and a lineup that always felt one tweak away from competence.

    Worst Possible Timing
    Buffalo Soldier — Ran into a buzzsaw powered by Trevor Lawrence, Amon-Ra, and pure disrespect. Eliminated before the popcorn finished popping.


    Final Word 
    The Pete Carroll Invitational is officially underway, and the rules are simple: win or disappear. No consolation prizes. No “what ifs.” Just box scores, shame, and group chat receipts. If you’re still alive, congrats — you’re one bad lineup decision away from joining the eliminated.

    Pete Carroll defends field goal decision after backlash from the ...

    WELCOME TO THE PETE CARROLL INVITATIONAL
    Where everyone smiles, claps loudly, and pretends this is fine.

    Congratulations to the brave few who have failed upward into the Toilet Bowl. You didn’t make the real playoffs, but you did earn an all-expenses-paid trip to the Pete Carroll Invitational, sponsored by excessive gum chewing and misplaced optimism.

    Here’s how the parade of sadness lines up:

    1. Droppin' Deuces
    The top seed in the PCI. Missed the actual playoffs on tiebreakers, which is the fantasy equivalent of tripping at the finish line and landing face-first in a puddle. Enjoy your bye, king of the losers.

    2. Cranjis McBasketball
    Also eliminated on tiebreakers. Imagine needing one more yard, or one fewer fumble, or one correct lineup decision. Painful. But hey, you also get a bye in the tournament no one wanted to qualify for.

    3. Red Zone Assassins
    A dangerous team… if only games ended after the first quarter. Coach John enters the PCI like a drunk arsonist: unpredictable, chaotic, and somehow capable of blowing up his own chances at any moment.

    4. Buffalo Soldier
    The vibes were good. The record was not. Coach Dave limps into the PCI with a team held together by duct tape, prayer, and the ghost of Cooper Kupp’s past relevance.

    5. The Shottenheimers
    Once a playoff hopeful, now a cautionary tale. Coach Chris arrives in the PCI after a collapse so steep it should be studied by geologists. If inconsistency were a sport, he’d be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

    6. The Year
    The league’s bottom-feeder swims proudly into the tournament he was destined for since Week 3. Leaving bye-week players active? A bold strategy. Maybe next season he’ll try this new thing called setting a lineup.

  • Player Notes
    Matthew Stafford Jan 12 12:13am ET
    Matthew Stafford

    Dynasty | Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 24-of-42 passes for 304 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in a playoff win against the Panthers. Dynasty Analysis: It was much of the same for Stafford, who threw for 4,707 yards with a whopping 46 touchdowns and eight interceptions on the season. The 37-year old is certainly nearing the end of the line and nearly retired last season but the Rams are again just two wins away from the Super Bowl and Stafford is doing his best to get them there. His dynasty value is set as this seems like a year-year-situation.

    From Dynasty League Fantasy

    Jalen Coker Jan 12 12:13am ET
    Jalen Coker

    Dynasty | Panthers receiver Jalen Coker caught nine passes for 134 yards with one touchdown in a loss to the Rams. Dynasty Analysis: Coker only had 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns this season as a fringe dynasty asset, so this was obviously a pretty big surprise. Still just 24 years old, this performance likely cements his spot on deep dynasty rosters going into next season.

    From Dynasty League Fantasy

    Jordan Love Jan 12 12:13am ET
    Jordan Love

    Dynasty | Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 24-of-46 passes for 323 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in a playoff loss to Chicago. Dynasty Analysis: Love did his part but his defense let him down as the Bears scored 25 points in the 4th quarter to win 31-27. Love may have hit his dynasty apex as a low-end QB1 based on what's happened over the past three seaons but you could certainly do worse in your starting lineup. His dynasty value will likely stay about the same this off-season.

    From Dynasty League Fantasy

    Colston Loveland Jan 12 12:13am ET
    Colston Loveland

    Dynasty | Bears tight end Colston Loveland had eight catches for 137 yards in a playoff win over the Packers. Dynasty Analysis: Loveland started out slowly this year but broke out in a big way over the back half of the season. This monster performance in the playoffs solidifies his status as a TE1 going into next year. He'll have a chance to prove it once again next week as the Bears face the Rams for a spot in the NFC Championship game. The buy low window on Loveland is clearly closed.

    From Dynasty League Fantasy

    Matthew Golden Jan 12 12:13am ET
    Matthew Golden

    Dynasty | Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden had four catches for 84 yards and a touchdown in a playoff loss to the Bears. Dynasty Analysis: Golden's season was a massive disappointment as he posted just 29 catches for 361 scoreless yards in 14 games this season. This was at least a step in the right direction but his performance as a first round rookie pick still lacked a lot of sizzle. The Packers could look a lot different next year and Golden is simply a hold at the moment as his ADP and ranking took a sizable hit this season.

    Caleb Williams Jan 12 12:00am ET
    Caleb Williams

    Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams led his team to yet another comeback win in impressive fashion in the 31-27 victory over the division-rival Green Bay Packers on Saturday night in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs. Williams finished 24-for-48 passing for a season-high 361 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. He added four carries for 20 yards and also took one sack for a loss of nine yards. The 24-year-old second-year signal-caller also fumbled, but it was recovered by the Bears. It was the Bears' single-game playoff passing-yardage record. It wasn't pretty, but Williams continues to display his elite athleticism by extending the play outside the pocket to find his receivers deep down the field. The USC alum could get into a shootout with the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round, giving him plenty of fantasy upside. Williams has now gone over 300 passing yards in two of his last three games, with six touchdowns and three interceptions combined in his last three contests.

    Colston Loveland Jan 11 11:00pm ET
    Colston Loveland

    Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland caught eight of his 15 targets for 137 yards during Saturday's Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers. Loveland's impressive rookie campaign continued as he set new personal-best marks in targets and yards. He now has 24 catches, 322 yards, and two touchdowns over his last three games. According to Jacob Gibbs of CBS Sports, the 21-year-old's big game made him just the second tight end in NFL history to record at least 10 targets and at least 130 yards in a playoff game at age 22 or younger. He joins just Rob Gronkowski in that select group. Loveland will look to remain hot as the Bears advance to face either the Eagles or Rams in the Divisional Round next weekend.

    Christian Gonzalez Jan 11 10:50pm ET
    Christian Gonzalez

    New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez (head) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's playoff contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. Gonzalez left the game after breaking up a pass attempt on second down. At the time of his departure, he had defended two passes. The 23-year-old didn't record an interception during the regular season, but he was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster and is consistently relied upon to cover opponents' No. 1 receivers. His absence will be something to monitor as the Patriots look to defend a three-pronged wide receiver room featuring Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, and Quentin Johnston. Charles Woods should earn more cornerback snaps behind Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones.

    From RotoBaller

    Chuba Hubbard Jan 11 10:40pm ET
    Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard tallied 13 carries, 46 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Los Angeles Rams. He also caught two of four targets for an additional 13 receiving yards. Hubbard lost his lead-back role to Rico Dowdle during the middle of the season, but he seemed to reclaim his top spot over the final few weeks. As the Panthers were eliminated on Saturday, Hubbard registered 15 touches while Dowdle had just six. Dowdle is an impending free agent, so Hubbard should be a fringe top-24 fantasy running back heading into 2026 fantasy football drafts. It's unclear whether Jonathan Brooks (knee) or Trevor Etienne will be able to carve out a role next year.

    From RotoBaller

    Matthew Golden Jan 11 9:50pm ET
    Matthew Golden

    Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden caught four of his five targets for 84 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Chicago Bears. Golden was disappointing during the regular season, amassing just 29 catches and 361 yards during his rookie season, but he showed up when it mattered most, scoring the first touchdown of his pro career. However, his effort came up short as Green Bay blew a three-score lead and lost to the Bears for the second time in one month. Golden will look to shake off this year's inconsistencies and carry momentum into his second pro season in 2026. Green Bay has a crowded receiver room, but he could be headed for increased opportunities if Romeo Doubs departs in free agency.

    Fred Warner Jan 11 9:20pm ET
    Fred Warner

    San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner (ankle) is unlikely to have his practice window opened this week, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Sunday. Warner is working his way back from a dislocated and fractured ankle that he suffered back in Week 6. The injury was initially expected to sideline him for the entire season, but he is ahead of schedule and now has a chance to return during the playoffs. With that being said, it sounds like he won't be ready for the Divisional Round. Warner is on injured reserve, so the Niners would have an opportunity to open his practice window before activating him. Once his window is opened, he has 21 days to practice without being activated. The 49ers have made it this far without Warner on defense, and now, it looks like they'll have to survive at least one more week. Instead, his next chance to play will likely be the NFC Championship, should San Francisco advance that far.

    From RotoBaller

    Jordan Love Jan 11 9:20pm ET
    Jordan Love

    Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 24 of his 46 pass attempts for 323 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Chicago Bears. He also rushed for 11 yards and took one sack. Love played great football for most of Saturday's game, but as the gap between Chicago and Green Bay closed, the young quarterback wasn't able to preserve his team's lead. Love found himself trying to lead a game-winning drive as the Packers trailed by four points in the final minute, but he went just 5-for-11 passing on the final drive and Green Bay lost. Love still had a great showing for bettors and DFS players, and he also spread the ball around with one touchdown pass to four different receivers. He'll now head into the offseason and should rank as a top-10 quarterback in 2026 fantasy drafts.

    From RotoBaller

    Romeo Doubs Jan 11 9:20pm ET
    Romeo Doubs

    Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught eight of his 11 targets for 124 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Chicago Bears. Doubs was relatively inconsistent this season, but he feasted during his final two games against the Bears, totaling 13 catches, 208 yards, and two touchdowns during that span. The 25-year-old was one of several receivers who benefited from Jordan Love's busy passing game on Saturday. He and three other wide receivers all scored touchdowns, but he paced the team in targets, catches, and yards. Doubs is an impending free agent, and it seems likely that he'll test the market with an opportunity to escape from Green Bay's very crowded wide receiver room.

    From RotoBaller

    George Kittle Jan 11 8:40pm ET
    George Kittle

    San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was officially diagnosed with a torn Achilles following Sunday's Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed. The superstar tight end suffered a non-contact injury while catching a pass during the second quarter. Video from the FOX broadcast appeared to show a pop in the back of Kittle's leg, and he was carted to the locker room in visible pain. The 49ers quickly ruled him out with an Achilles injury, and it was later confirmed to be a tear. The 32-year-old will now embark on a lengthy recovery process. Not only is he done for the 2025 playoffs, but he could miss the start of the 2026 regular season. If so, he'll likely drop several spots in the 2026 fantasy football draft tight end rankings. Jake Tonges should step up as the 49ers' top tight end for the rest of the playoffs before he becomes a restricted free agent in March. In the six games that Kittle missed during the regular season, Tonges totaled 29 catches, 269 yards, and three touchdowns. He caught just one pass for 14 yards in Kittle's absence this Sunday.

    From RotoBaller

    Jalen Coker Jan 11 8:30pm ET
    Jalen Coker

    Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker caught nine of his 12 targets for 134 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Los Angeles Rams. Coker stepped up as Bryce Young's favorite target as the former No. 1 pick attempted 40 passes in the Panthers' comeback effort. The Panthers' effort, fueled by a career-best game from Coker, was admirable, but it came up short against a Rams team that dropped 14 points early. Coker has a chance to enter the 2026 season as Carolina's No. 2 wide receiver behind Tetairoa McMillan and ahead of Xavier Legette. We can't rule out the possibility of Carolina adding another quality pass-catcher during the offseason, though.

    From RotoBaller

    D.J. Moore Jan 11 8:20pm ET
    D.J. Moore

    Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore caught six of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers. He also lost five yards rushing. The highlight of Moore's game was a 25-yard touchdown catch with just 1:48 left in the fourth quarter. The score put Chicago ahead 31-27, and that score would hold for the final 108 seconds as the Bears completed an improbable comeback and punched their ticket to the Divisional Round. Moore was relatively underwhelming as just the WR35 in full-PPR leagues this year, but there's no denying that he has a flair for the dramatic. He has scored game-winning touchdowns in each of the Bears' last two games against the Packers, and he has scored at least 17.9 full-PPR fantasy points in three of his last five games. The 28-year-old will look to stay hot as the Bears advance to face the Rams in the Divisional Round next weekend.

    From RotoBaller

    Puka Nacua Jan 11 8:00pm ET
    Puka Nacua

    Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught 10 of 18 targets for 111 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card win over the Carolina Panthers. He also had three carries, 14 rushing yards, and an additional rushing touchdown. Nacua's historic year continues; he has 139 catches, 1,826 receiving yards, 119 rushing yards, and 13 total touchdowns through 16 regular-season games and one playoff game. The BYU product is in the midst of the best season of his young career, and he has a very strong chance to win the 2025 Offensive Player of the Year award. He has developed a terrific rapport with MVP candidate Matthew Stafford while showing that he has no trouble co-existing with dependable veteran Davante Adams. He'll head into 2025 fantasy drafts as a consensus top-two receiver and top-four draft pick.

    Omarion Hampton Jan 11 7:50pm ET
    Omarion Hampton

    Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's playoff contest against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable and missed a pair of practices before being upgraded to a limited participant on Friday. Hampton sat out Week 18 with an ankle injury, but his absence was more of a precaution as Los Angeles rested many starters, and the rookie running back was just four weeks removed from a seven-game absence. He took a little while to get back to 100 percent after the injury, but his 81% snap share and 22 touches from Week 17 should indicate that he's back to a starter's workload. We wouldn't be surprised to see him handle another 20-plus touches against the Patriots, whose run defense started to falter down the stretch but still finished with the third-fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs in 2025.

    From RotoBaller

    Kayshon Boutte Jan 11 7:40pm ET
    Kayshon Boutte

    New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's playoff contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Boutte was a solid contributor in his role as the No. 2 receiver behind Stefon Diggs throughout the regular season. Over 14 games, he caught 33 passes for 551 yards and a career-high six touchdowns. He'll have a tougher test on Sunday night as he faces a Chargers defense that allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers during the regular season. DFS players and bettors may choose to stay away from Boutte, as Diggs is the only Patriots receiver who can really be trusted ahead of this tougher matchup.

    From RotoBaller

    Justin Herbert Jan 11 7:10pm ET
    Justin Herbert

    Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden displayed his versatility and developed a strong connection with Justin Herbert during the 2025 NFL season. The 22-year-old had 49 catches for 664 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets. Gadsden was a pleasant surprise for fantasy managers who were able to snipe him off waivers in his rookie season. Entering Wild Card Weekend, Gadsden will face a solid New England Patriots defense. The Patriots' defense allowed the fourth-fewest rushing touchdowns and the sixth-fewest rushing yards, while having one of the NFL's mild passing defenses. This could favor the Gadsden and the Chargers' passing attack. If the Chargers have a slow start running the football, they could turn Herbert's arm loose early. Gadsden could see a good number of targets against an average NFL passing defense in his first playoff game.
