GM Luke’s 2–0 Start: CMC Trade Sparks Early Wins, But Strength of Schedule Raises Eyebrows

GM Luke’s I Chase Brown Kids secured a second straight win, beating Alex’s I Call Gibbs 112.5–91.6. The record is perfect, but the context is worth noting: Luke has faced the league’s lowest points against through two weeks.

Luke’s Key Performers

• Christian McCaffrey (22.7): The blockbuster acquisition continues to pay off, stacking 107 scrimmage yards and a touchdown.

• Davante Adams (22.6): Posted 106 yards and a score on 13 targets, stabilizing a shaky WR group.

• Courtland Sutton (1.6): The glaring weak spot, managing just one catch despite playing nearly every snap.

Alex’s Key Performers

• Lamar Jackson (26.3): Accounted for four touchdowns, keeping Alex’s lineup afloat.

• Jahmyr Gibbs (19.4): Exploded for 94 rushing yards and a touchdown, showing why he was a first-round pick.

• Dallas DST (–5): Completely collapsed, turning a competitive matchup into a two-score defeat.

The Verdict

Luke’s RB-WR star trio of McCaffrey, Barkley, and Adams is doing the heavy lifting, but his supporting cast remains volatile. Alex’s team has top-end firepower but was undone by a defense meltdown and lack of depth.

The League Commissioner summed up the state of play:

“Luke’s backs are carrying him, no question. But he’s had the softest schedule in the league. Let’s see what happens when he runs into someone scoring 130.”

Luke is 2–0, but how long his good fortune lasts will depend on keeping his running backs healthy and finding answers at WR2.
