Once upon a Thanksgiving, a team named the Cereal Killers was busy cooking up a storm. Their start to the season was like a dry turkey — disappointing and 1-4. But then, something magical happened. The ovens heated up, the ingredients clicked, and they went on a 6-game winning spree, cooking up a feast that had them at a savory 7-4.

At the head of the table was Chef Justin Herbert, carving up defenses like a masterful turkey, with Sous-Chef Keenan Allen seasoning every play to perfection. These two were the butter and garlic of the team, essential and ever-reliable.

On the side, we had the sweet and spicy combo of Aiyuk and Barkley. Like a dish of candied yams, they added flair and unpredictability, tantalizing with their high-upside games.

But the talk of the town was Jahmyr Gibbs, the green bean casserole that everyone initially doubted. After a bland start, Gibbs transformed, becoming the creamy, crunchy highlight of the last four feasts and a key ingredient in the Cereal Killers' dominant run.

Not forgetting the smart additions to the menu — Gus Edwards, like a hearty stuffing, adding depth and warmth, and CeeDee Lamb, the cranberry sauce, bringing a zesty twist to the team.

Brandon, the head chef, stood proud. He had turned his kitchen around, from underperformers to the highest-scoring team in the league. The Cereal Bowl glistened on the mantle, a symbol of what could be if this culinary mastery continued.

Yet, in the corner of the kitchen, a pot simmered with concern. Mark Andrews, their reliable gravy, had suffered a spill. His absence will leave a noticeable gap, and the search for a new running back was like trying to find that perfect secret ingredient.

As the Cereal Killers prepared for their next meal, the kitchen buzzed with questions. Could they maintain this delicious streak? Who would step up and challenge this Master Chef? The league watches, forks in hand, as the Cereal Killers continued to cook up what could be the most memorable Thanksgiving feast in fantasy football history.

Shit Start of the Week:  Garrett Wilson

In the bustling kitchen of the Fantasy Football League, where chefs whip up winning lineups like Thanksgiving feasts, this week served up a dish that left a sour taste. The spotlight fell on Garrett Wilson of the Pancake Blockers, but let's reimagine this disappointment with a Thanksgiving twist: Wilson as the undercooked stuffing in the Thanksgiving spread.

Cody, the mastermind behind Pancake Blockers, desperately needed a delectable dish this week to stay in the tight playoff race. He had prepared his stuffing, Garrett Wilson, hoping it would be the savory centerpiece of his Thanksgiving table. Yet, Wilson turned out to be like undercooked stuffing — promising on the outside but cold and unappealing inside, contributing a measly -.1 points.

The stuffing's lack of flavor was compounded by the injury to Achane, akin to discovering your turkey is still frozen on Thanksgiving morning. Wilson, who was expected to blend seamlessly with the aromatic herbs of Aaron Rodgers' passes at the start of the year, instead found himself mismatched with the erratic throws of Zach Wilson, resulting in a dish that was unpalatable and hard to digest. Cody's kitchen was filled with the aroma of dashed hopes.

There stood Cody, in his fantasy football kitchen, surrounded by the bitter taste of unmet expectations. Cody, frustrated with a season that looked as promising as a perfect Thanksgiving menu but turned out as unsatisfying as undercooked stuffing. 

Clutch Start of the Week: Saquon Barkley
