TPD lost a heartbreaker a week ago, 144-142. Both Daniels and Nico got hurt mid game, and a poor lineup decision led to the loss. Once again, it is hard to fathom the horrible luck it takes week after week to keep this franchise down. TPD watches in horror as each bounce of the ball goes against him, in the flukiest ways possible. Such horrible circumstance would send lesser managers out of the game entirely. But TPD endures. The players give him hope, and he will not let his team down. TPD is by far the highest scoring team in the league, but only has a (4-3) record. Sound familiar? Here we go again, again. 

The massive acquisition this week is James Cook III. More on him later. The rest of the lineup is a bit wounded entering week 8. Both Daniels and Nico will be out, and a few others are on bye. TPD also has to start multiple players on Thursday. That typically spells disaster for him. But every so often, when the wind directions of the season are unknown, a Thursday explosion from multiple player gives the ship its heading. It will happen again this Thursday. The season shifts now. This is not TPD at his optimal lineup, but so what. The boys will do their thing. Even if the record doesn't show it, this group is elite. 

Always elite is the NASTY. What more can this beast do week to week. It fights til its last breath, often fighting through gashes and mashes, until every last drop of blood is spent. What it needs is nurturing and healing. And it will get it. We owe everything to its will. 

Player Profile: James Cook III

James has been balling this year. After his new contract, he has solidified himself atop the Bills depth chart. Two bad games and coming off bye mean he is ready to explode. TPD had Cook last year, before trading him to acquire Gibbs. Now he is back, and ready to stand guard for the long haul. TPD needed an explosive player on an explosive offense, and he got one. TPD now has two stallions at RB, like he did before Hampton's injury. Look out. TPD is putting the finishing touches on this roster before the trade deadline. And the results will be NASTY. Go for broke Cook. 

Week 7 Press Release

 The Peaking Dynasty vs ShowMeYourTDs

Date: October 19, 2025

Time: 1:00pm

Place: TPD Field House

Starting Lineup:

QB: Jayden Daniels

WR: Drake London

WR: Nico Collins

RB: Jonathan Taylor

RB: Breece Hall

TE: Trey McBride

FLEX: Brian Thomas Jr.

K: Chase Mclaughlin

DEF: Green Bay

TPD is rolling. He sits 2nd in overall standings and 1st in points scored. Over his last four games he has scored over 140 three times. Last week's game came down to Monday night, and Daniels and London balled out. This week will be the first time London, Nico, and Thomas are all in the lineup at the same time. TPD's yearly acquisitions of the best WRs appears to have happened yet again. But this year the squad looks stronger earlier, due to the strength at RB, QB and TE. The lineup is locked and loaded for another huge game in week 7. 

Daniels continues to wait for the return of McLaurin, but he showed last week how dominate he can be, even in a sloppy game. The WRs are rounding into form, showing their elite potential. Taylor continues to beast, while TPD is hoping for a bounce back game from Breece. McBride will do his thing as always. There is not much to say about a squad performing this well. The hope is that it continues, but otherwise, I have no notes. 

Always keeping score though is the NASTY. It's been freakish this season, tormenting fellow league members. And now it's back home baby. This epic battle raging monster strikes fear in the hearts of all who oppose. It will devour once more. 

Player Profile: Nico Collins

Collins, like BTJ, has yet to have his smash week. Coming off bye, TPD feels the time is now. Collins will go scorched earth the rest of the way. He knows his role as a TPD WR. He stands on the shoulder's of giants. The standard is the standard for TPD WRs, and he will carry the torch well. Time for an explosive performance on Monday night. He will carry TPD to victory like London did a week ago.
