The Commissioner had an impressive Week 10, securing a win and going 4-1 on his weekly picks. It seems improbable that this success is sustainable -- but tonight, we celebrate with a warm shot of Malort.

Week 10 brought more chaos, heartbreak, and something no one saw coming — the commissioner actually had a winning week.

A 4–1 record has people whispering about a comeback, though let’s be honest, at 23–27 he’s still about as reliable as a Burrows Churros lineup in September.

The standings are tightening, the playoff picture is messy, and Team Michelle still hasn’t figured out how to win a game since week 3. Business as usual in the league of bad decisions.

Burrows Churros defeats Vigilante Blitz (148.01-141.50)

Burrows Churros extended his improbable four-game winning streak in Week 10, taking down Vigilante Blitz thanks to a late Devonta Smith touchdown that sealed the deal.

Once again, Burrows Churros leaned on his new core of Breece Hall, Chris Olave, and Rome Odunze — all of whom apparently forgot they were on Burrows Churros and decided to play like professionals.

Brock Bowers, however, did his best impression of the commissioner’s pick record and sleepwalked his way to 3 points.

Vigilante Blitz dropped her second straight game, but this one was closer than expected. Drake Maye, Kyren Williams, and Jaylen Waddle kept things competitive, though it just wasn’t enough to stop Burrows Churros’ inexplicable hot streak.

Vigilante Blitz stays put in 7th place — just outside playoff territory — while Burrows Churros somehow clings to 9th, keeping the dream alive for a “worst-to-first” miracle no one actually believes will happen.

Commissioner’s Pick: Burrows Churros (WINNER)

Ceedee's TD's Edges Out Joe Buck Yourself (139.62-132.94)

Ceedee’s TD’s squeaked out another unimpressive win in Week 10, scoring the lowest total among winners — which honestly feels like the perfect metaphor for Peaches’ entire season.

Somehow, mediocrity keeps paying off, and he now finds himself on a three-game win streak. Baker Mayfield, Nico Collins, and the Denver defense carried just enough weight to drag this team across the finish line while the rest of the roster coasted.

Joe Buck Yourself, on the other hand, continues his nosedive with a third straight loss. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson was electric with 40 points, but that spark was wasted next to the dumpster fire that was Josh Downs, Darnell Mooney, and Garrett Wilson — a trio that combined for a grand total of four points. It’s the kind of stat line that should come with an apology email.

Ceedee’s TD’s somehow drops one spot to third overall despite the win, while Joe Buck Yourself tumbles to eighth and is now just a bad week away from hearing Burrows Churros’ footsteps behind him.

Commissioner’s Pick: Ceedee's TD's (WINNER)

Team Andrew Takes Down Baisden's Bungals (144.60-133.80)

Team Andrew picked up a workmanlike win in Week 10 behind Matthew Stafford, Drake London, and a guy named Ladd— which sounds less like a football player and more like someone who’d help you fix a leaky faucet.

It wasn’t flashy, but it was enough to take down Baisden’s Bungals in a matchup that had all the intensity of a middle school band concert.

For Baisden’s Bungals, Caleb Williams put up a solid 27 points, but when your next-best scorer is Jerry Jeudy, you know you’ve entered the “how did we get here?” phase of the season. Honestly, I didn’t even realize Jeudy was still employed until this update. His bench wasn’t offering much hope either, so it’s hard to say what could’ve changed.

Team Andrew climbs to 2nd in the standings, while Baisden’s Bungals drops to 5th — though sharing the same record as Burrows Churros probably feels like the real L.

Commissioner’s Pick: Baisden's Bungals (LOSER)

4th and Forever Slams Team Michelle (202.60-122.54)

Team Michelle’s losing streak hit seven straight in Week 10 — a feat so predictable it could’ve been forecasted by Punxsutawney Phil with a blindfold on. The lone bright spots were Davante Adams and Houston’s defense, and honestly, calling them “bright spots” feels generous. The rest of her roster performed like they were still emotionally recovering from Week 1.

Meanwhile, 4th and Forever keeps cruising atop the standings like the fantasy version of the Patriots in 2007 (minus the likability). Jonathan Taylor and De’Von Achane continue to do all the heavy lifting, while Jared Goff tossed in a strong showing to make sure the margin of victory was as humiliating as possible.

4th and Forever remains comfortably in first place, while Team Michelle stays in dead last — a title she’s held so long it might as well be embroidered on her team banner.

She did, however, find temporary escape from her fantasy misery by traveling to Nashville to watch Clay Walker sing Randy Travis songs — though it’s debatable which experience was more soul-crushing.

Commissioner’s Pick: 4th and Forever (WINNER)

WhosAfraidOfKittleOldMe Knocks Off 3rd and Juan (177.62-167.70)

Fresh off her Week 9 upset over 4th and Forever, WhosAfraidOfKittleOldMe kept the momentum rolling with a Week 10 victory over 3rd and Juan — extending her win streak to two and reminding the league she’s officially heating up.

3rd and Juan put up the most points in a loss, which is the fantasy equivalent of getting a participation ribbon at field day. The league collectively pointed and laughed, because, well, somebody has to. Sorry, 3rd and Juan — you can’t play Joe Buck Yourself or Team Michelle every week.

WhosAfraidOfKittleOldMe got strong performances from Jaxon Smith-Njigba, George Kittle, and Tez Johnson, but it was Jalen Hurts’ Monday night heroics that sealed the win.

On the other side, 3rd and Juan had a monster outing from Jahmyr Gibbs with 41 points, plus solid showings from Trey McBride, Jameson Williams, and Emeka Egbuka. Unfortunately, the rest of his lineup was about as productive as the former bartenders at Rivals in Huntington — which is to say, not at all.

Despite the loss, 3rd and Juan actually climbed two spots and now sits in 6th place, just inside the playoff cut line.

WhosAfraidOfKittleOldMe, meanwhile, jumps to 4th place and looks more dangerous than ever.

Commissioner’s Pick: WhosAfraidOfKittleOldMe (WINNER)
