RotoWire Joke Strap League Week 10 Recap: Close Calls and Big Wins!

Welcome back to the fantasy football fun of the RotoWire Joke Strap League, where the action and the managers are buzzing!

Week 10 was a whirlwind of touchdowns, tackles, and -- oh yes -- birthday candles. Let's break it down, including a peek at the standings.

Points Powerhouse

RotoWire's own Jeff Erickson's "Dad Jokes" -- despite some lineup missteps -- soared to 158.74 points. Jeff is now climbing in the standings, and showing that just like his Bengals, he has a little fight left in him.

Birthday Boys

Greg Wilson (StacheMakesCash) and Joe Bartnick (AndyReidsTits) had eventful week celebrating their birthdays over Sunday. Greg cashed in a win, while Joe's team found their cake a tad deflated, scoring the fewest points of the week. However, Joe's day brightened with his beloved Steelers knocking off the Packers.

Managerial Mastery

I turned lineup setting into a science. State Farm BathJazz scored a solid 139.02 points. Was it skill or luck? Let's call it a harmonious blend, but I did set the most efficient lineup!

Most Improved: Greg Wilson didn't just age; he excelled, with his team outperforming projections by a massive 32 percent. Birthday bonuses all around!

Close Call: The "Nail-Biter Award" goes to Jay Davis (Funny Freaks) for narrowly defeating Jason Rennebu (Whistle Swallowers) by 5.8 percent. Jay now proudly leads the pack.
