2025 Week 5: I want to play

How you do picture your BD Wong? This is an important question, because BD Wong has been in all of our lives since any of us can remember, but we all have a specific BD Wong we picture for ourselves. If you don’t know BD Wong by name, you may be thinking of this guy:

But you would be wrong. That’s Benedict Wong. He is also great, and has been around a long time, but is not BD Wong. No, they are not related. That’s racist. One of them is British, the other is American. Wong is like Smith in China. Read a book.

This is BD Wong:

I wanted to share that picture of him in street clothes because I wanted to jog your memory, but not influence how you picture BD Wong in your mind’s eye now that you know who I’m talking about.

Because, despite BD Wong being a long-working and very versatile actor, people only ever seem to picture one of two BD Wongs. There is SVU BD Wong:

Who is a very smart, very kind character named- because Dick Wolf is not an imaginative man- Dr. Huang (pronounced “wong”). Then there is Jurassic Park BD Wong:

Who is a very smart, very ruthless character named Henry Wu. That’s him in the original and him in the reboot, Jurassic World, and I gotta say he looks fuckin DOPE as old Wu. That’s a killer fit, and I would definitely look the other way while he made illegal super monsters in his lab. But also, at one point in that movie, we see that he has a full spine just floating in a big tube for no real reason other than it looks cool, so I’m not sure how the new park owner is shocked to find out Wu is up to some shit. He wears nothing but black turtlenecks and keeps spines around as decoration. You can’t act all thunderstruck when you discover he’s been spicing DNA together to make ultimate murder machines. But that’s the power of BD Wong, man. One look at him and you just assume he’s doing something for the greater good. He’s so charming and kind-faced that you don’t even want to know if you were wrong.

I bring this up because I encountered a third BD Wong, and the impression that BD Wong made on me was so profound that it fucked up my BD Wong equilibrium, and now it’s the BD Wong I picture like half the time. Every time I must imagine my BD Wong, SVU BD Wong (Huang Wong, if you will), and Jurassic Park BD Wong (Wu Wong, if you will again) get a little blurrier, and this third BD Wong becomes clearer.

I call him Liyuan Wong, and he is the subject of this week’s:

One Weird Thing

(Trying a new thing with the videos this time, so the clips should stop and start where I am referencing. Please clap)

This third BD Wong comes to us by way of the movie Focus, which is not all that noteworthy except for the fact that A) Margot Robbie is throwing absolute heat in it (like Cameron-Diaz-in-The Mask- level stuff), and B) I think it’s the last time Will Smith was cool. For a while, Will Smith was the coolest man in the world. His lines were cool, his clothes were cool, the way he shot guns was cool, the way he drove cars was cool. Every movie he was in, everything on screen got 10% cooler the second he entered the frame. Even inanimate objects got splashed with residual cool. But with all Coolest Guys, The Cool begins to fade as younger, cooler dudes ascend to take their place. It’s still there for a while, but every Coolest Guy has a point where suddenly they aren’t that guy to us anymore. Everything they did before that point is still cool, but they are something else now. It may be good, it may be bad, but we know for sure it’s not cool. I think Focus was the last stop on the Cool Train for Will Smith.

Anyway, the movie is about heists, and crews, and scams and cons. Will Smith is the very cool leader of a crew, Margot Robbie wants to join the crew, there you have it. It is entirely too long, and there’s a whole second act that seems like it’s a different movie grafted onto the body of the first half, but the first half is pretty fun, and culminates with us meeting Liyuan Wong.

The crew has just done many heists in New Orleans, because the Super Bowl is in town and that means the heistin’ is especially good. They heist their way to several million dollars over the course of the weekend, which Will Smith takes with him to eventually divvy out to the crew. He and Margot make a stop to attend the actual Super Bowl and, out of boredom, begin betting on random shit at the game:

I have many vices, and luckily, compulsive gambling is not one of them (for now!). But I have to be honest- I would absolutely do something like this if someone started it. Especially if I had a bag full of money to fuck around with. I could find 10,000 things to wager on if I were stuck at an NFL game for four hours, and all it would take to get me to forget entirely about the game is one interesting bet on whether a couple gets into a fight or something.

Enter our new BD Wong.

BD Wong is playing a “legendary gambler” named Liyuan Tse. I don’t know that we have those in real life, but it makes for a good movie character. Our guy overhears this betting from Will and Margot, and look at the face he makes

That’s a new gear from BD Wong. We have not seen that BD Wong before. That man right there is a fucking apex predator, and believes he just saw two baby caribou wander up to a watering hole. Hasn’t even started talking yet and he feels different.

So we saw Predator Wong, but the characters didn’t, and when he enters their conversation, he begins very BD Wong-like. He seems friendly, even apologizing for interrupting when he gets excited. This guy seems like he might be a little weird, but the BD Wongness of him is such that you don’t feel threatened.

Also, 99 MPH on the outside corner from Margot there at the end.

But here is where BD Wong starts cooking. Check out this weird ass way he tries to get them to keep going. He comes in talking like a child would, which is to further disarm them and make them think he’s a weird little dude.

Couple things- the way he gleefully says “I haaaaave” when Will Smith points out that he’s been drinking is fucking incredible. Next time someone asks you if you have been drinking, or smoking, or eating cookies, or anything else that that type of question is designed to make you feel bad about, just respond with this:

Take back that power.

Anyway, you can tell Evil BD Wong is giving them someone to giggle at, but really, the sumbitch is hunting. See how serious he got at the end there?

The bet goes BD’s way, and it looks like Will Smith is gonna call it for the day, but BD Wong wants more. First he tries to go with his goofy routine, but when that doesn’t work, watch him drop the act immediately and knife the SHIT out of Will Smith.

Fucking SAVAGE. Knew right where to hit him.

That part is important, because up to that point, BD Wong had been in a cat and mouse game with Cool Will Smith. Now that he’s not pretending anymore, the game has changed to a dick measuring contest, and boy does he start whipping it out. Will Smith bets 10 grand the kicker will make it, and when that doesn’t work out, BD Wong gives him elite-level shit talk.

“I’m such a lucky guyyyyy” would get me fucking HEATED. It definitely works on Will, who then raises the stakes to $50,000, betting the dude won’t return the kickoff. Check out the end of this clip. BD Wong has fully transformed into a new species of himself.

Holy shit, dude. That would scare the shit out of me. Look at how fucking mean his face is. Look how insane the smile looks now! I think Will Smith’s reaction was genuine. You do not expect BD Wong to turn on you like that. Once he unleashes that face, Will Smith looks like when you try to stand up to your parent for the first time and realize you aren’t ready for that shit at all.

It goes poorly, and Will Smith goes on tilt, betting $100,000 on the next thing. BD Wong dismisses him, saying he doesn’t have 100 grand, and that’s when Will gets into the heist money. I know Focus is a dumb movie. I know that. But let’s appreciate how well BD Wong’s character gets built up in this clip:

1. Will Smith is carrying around a bag with a SHITLOAD of money in it, and I would bet that when he pulled out that bag and started stacking paper on the table, he thought it was going to give him the lead in the dick measuring contest. But it’s revealed the BD Wong already had a briefcase of money just sitting in the box for just such an occasion, and he has more in there than Will does.

2. Will counts his money himself. BD Wong has dude whose only job is to stand there until he gestures, then that guy has to grab the correct amount of money and hand it to BD Wong. This dude is running away with the dick contest.

3. When Will Smith says “next play, incomplete pass,” note that BD Wong says “I say he catches it.” He does not bet on a run, or a penalty, or a sack, or any other outcome except the exact opposite of what Will bet. Will put himself in an insane hole by picking a specific outcome, and BD Wong could have said “ok anything but that,” but he didn’t. He wanted to be the exact amount of correct that Will was going to be incorrect, just for dominance.

4. If you are betting $100,000 and the dude you are betting against has this type of body language:

buddy, you are proper fucked.

God damn, BD Wong is on his fucking GAME.

So it goes wrong, Will continues to tilt, and brings out the whole rest of his winnings. Keep in mind, Margot has been trying to stop him this whole time, because she thinks he has a gambling problem.

This is quietly the best flex of the whole scene. The briefcase is open. Everyone can see the money in there. We know he has more money than Will Smith. But BD Wong just no-look waves at his boy, and makes him move the briefcase two feet. I want to do that so bad. I want to be so rich and evil that I can make henchmen slightly move shit around just for dramatic effect. Every interaction with me would be some guy in a black suit sliding notes across the table to you that say shit like “where do you want to eat?”

Anyway, they do the card cut, BD Wong gets a five, but of course Will Smith draws a three. Womp womp. Money gone. Except….

For some reason, I love the way he says, “Dude, what are you doing?” It’s the most exasperated a person has ever been while winning a fight. He’s not trying to be clever or menacing or anything. He’s genuinely at a loss for a second there. Then he gets his act together and goes back to gleeful evil.

Also notice how he acted like a lady seeking a suitor there for a minute? He made Will Smith chase him a little to get better odds. Great stuff, BD Wong.

So there’s a debate and blah blah blah, and this is the last clip. My favorite fucking move. It’s been made clear that BD Wong’s guards are not going to let them leave the box until some sort of bet is made, but right here BD Wong offers an out. He is ostensibly letting Will Smith off the hook, but he knows he won’t take it because at the last second, he looks at Will’s girl and knows he can’t back down after that.

“No hard feelings…… you’ll just be a little BITCH.”

Anyway, surprise! It was a con or whatever. Will Smith gets the money. Who cares.

Liyuan Wong is now BD Wong Prime. This weird ass performance in a forgettable movie is my favorite BD Wong, and it is so powerful that it has pushed other BDs Wong aside.

I hope it does the same for you.

THE GAMES

Jimmy Vs. Will (143.1-140.6)

I can’t really say shit because I lost to Justin’s team, which this week was comprised of former Division III players and mailmen chasing a dream, but my first thought when looking at this final score was that Will might legitimately never speak again. I’ve known him for nearly three decades, and whenever William gets upset- like really, truly angry- he purses his lips, inhales real slow through his nose, and then… silence. Sometimes he leaves the room, sometimes he doesn’t. Sometimes he does something with his hands, or tilts his head back as he thinks, and tilts his head and cracks his neck, but he never, ever, speaks. This will go on for some time, depending on his level of anger.

After this, his voice may only exist in memory. One could take solace in the fact Jimmy’s highest scorer was Ja’Marr Chase, the NFL’s best receiver and someone who is very capable of 34 points. It’s not a fluke, is what I’m saying. Except it kinda is, because his quarterback was Jake Browning, and at least half of those points came on a garbage-time bomb when half the Lions were already in the locker room. Look at this Pro Bowl-level effort!

Less easy to take is CJ Stroud being the week’s number one fantasy quarterback, since he has barely qualified as an NFL employee, much less a viable fantasy player this season. But I think the hardest part for Will is knowing that the difference in the game was Kendre Miller and Jeremy McNichols, two players Jimmy not only rostered simultaneously, but had to START simultaneously as his only two running backs with working legs.

Now, points are points, so we all know the total is really all that matters. But. Will lost by 2.5 points, and it’s gotta be reallllllllyyyy hard to look at the fact McNichols had 2.3 and Miller had 5.4 and not feel like you were beaten directly by them. You spend weeks getting ready for fantasy football. You spend months playing it. You read thousands of words, listen to hours of talk, crunch numbers, check your gut, watch the games, and sweat decisions. All of it to end up right here, where these two plays from these two chuds make the difference between winning and losing.

There it is. A meaningless 12-yard catch, and an 11-yard run (longest of the day!) thanks to an entire defensive line that can’t tackle a person who is already underneath them. What a hobby we gave!

Will also lost Omarion Hampton for four weeks just hours after trading for him, and as someone who has done that on a near-annual basis, it feels really good to be on the other side of it for once. I’m sorry for Will and all, but holy shit it’s like I got to see first class for the first time. Maybe we’re in a body-switching movie. This time, he’ll spend the rest of his FAAB on a WR3 before trading too late and gambling on longshots only to finish 7-7, and I’ll sit back and let my new players carry me, stress-free, to Valhalla. That sounds awesome. I’d watch that.

Jimmy is still without much hope, especially for AJ Brown. Did you know the Eagles have been increasing their neutral pass rate every week? Generally, “neutral” means when the game is within seven points, and there are no special circumstances like a two-minute drill. The game situation isn’t dictating playcalling, so this is what the offense would prefer to do if left to its own devices. Here are the Eagles’ pass rates in neutral situations:

Week 1: 36%
Week 2: 38%
Week 3: 59%
Week 4: 62%
Week 5: 79%

If you have a fantasy receiver, 59 percent is about where you start to get excited. The NFL average last year was about 48 percent across all first and second downs, so you certainly need to be above that. On its face, this would be good news for Jimmy. The Eagles are passing more in neutral situations. The problem is, here are AJ Browns targets by week.
Week 1: 1
Week 2: 8
Week 3: 10
Week 4: 9
Week 5: 8
And here are his fantasy totals:
Week 1: 1.3
Week 2: 5.2
Week 3: 21.9
Week 4: 1.7
Week 5: 6.8

So yeah, they’re throwing more. No, Brown has seen no meaningful change to his targets or fantasy production because of it. And what’s worse? The Eagles’ point differential and outcome by week:
Week 1: +4, Win
Week 2: +3, Win
Week 3: +7 (thanks to a blocked FG TD), Win
Week 4: +6 (thanks to a blocked punt TD), Win
Week 5: -7, Loss

Now you, a person with a functioning human mind, might look at all that and say, “Surely you cannot directly attribute them losing, or needing special teams to save them, to them passing more. NFL games are more complicated than that.” And you would be right. But you don’t run the Eagles. Do you know who does run the Eagles?

Yeahhhh there he is. “Throw ball make no win. No win make big sad.” AJ Brown is FUCKED.

Also Joe Flacco is in Cincy now, which is way less exciting than you think. The Bengals have absolutely no offensive line. They allow their QB to be pressured on 40 percent of dropbacks. Joe Flacco has the mobility of a snowman. His passer rating when under pressure is 31.1, 16 points worse than Bo Nix. The only quarterback worse than him is Aaron Rodgers. Nothing is gonna change.

DeWitt Vs. Andres (115.8-115.1)

Where were you when Brenton Strange took on Juwan Johnson? If you close your eyes, can you still remember what the room smelled like when you watched Woody Marks get 24 total yards? What piece of clothing are you going to keep forever from the time you saw Kyler Murray complete 23 passes in a modern NFL game and not reach 15 fantasy points?

The only thing worse than suffering through a dogshit fantasy week is suffering through one you can’t look away from because your matchup is close. That’s what happened to both Andres and DeWitt, who had to keep looking at this pile of dogshit all the way through the MNF game because one of them had Xavier Worthy and the other had the Jacksonville punter. What a wonderful way to start the work week.

Andres got it a little worse, of course, since he lost by .7 and fell to 3-7, but there’s no way DeWitt enjoyed that much more. Brenton Strange got hurt, Worthy logged his customary eight points, and Marks, who is a running back, did absolutely dick despite Houston winning 44-10. They didn’t even use him to run out the clock. Andres gets Bijan back from bye, whereas DeWitt’s cavalry is led by Romeo Doubs and Tucker Kraft. He’s in a spot now where either Marks or Michael Carter has to start for him. Like, forever. He doesn’t have any other options for that second RB slot. DeWitt might try to refute this by pointing to Chiefs running back Brashard Smith. Like I said, he doesn’t have anyone else.

But CeeDee Lamb still hasn’t practiced, so there’s that. '

Also Andres, I think it’s probably time to let Cam Ward go. I, like you, thought there was a chance he could be awesome. Truthfully, he’s pretty sick if you watch him play, he just has no fucking team around him and still does a lot of dumb rookie shit. Our dream isn’t gonna happen. You aren’t ever going to start him. He’s a quarterback, and his season high is 11 points. You’re not going to keep him, since at this point, even $2 is a massive overpay. It’s time, buddy. Go check out that “waiver wire” everyone has been talking about. Try a transaction or two, just to see how it feels.

Steve vs. Munson (133.6-116.4)

If you look at Munson’s Big 5, you’d be forgiven for thinking he might have won this matchup. Add in that Tee Higgins is still a Bengal and James Cook put up some truly Woody Marks-ass numbers, and you’d be certain he did.

You forgot about Javonte Williams, you fool. He unleashed 135 yards of relentlessly average fury, scoring two touchdowns on the day and moving up to what ESPN says is the number four running back in fantasy. Much like CeeDee Lamb last season, I simply do not believe that ranking. I know Jonathan Taylor is having a banner season, so I will accept that Williams is not the number one running back. After that, you cannot convince me that there are two more successful fantasy players at the position. Christian McCaffrey hasn’t even scored a rushing touchdown this season. James Cook? James Cook has had one great game, one shit game, and three good ones. Every time I look up on Sundays, Javonte Williams scoring a touchdown, about to score a touchdown, or just scored a touchdown. Motherfucker is on the RedZone screen more than the logo.

It should not be this way. The Cowboys have no offensive line. They are down to one receiver. Most importantly, he is Javonte Williams. That cannot be stressed enough. It’s honestly kind of fun when something like this works out in Fantasy, because everything is more entertaining when we can hang onto the belief that anyone can be star. Maybe we’ll all find our Javonte Williams someday. It’s a little less fun when it happens for the guy who already has James Cook, Josh Allen, Puka Nacua, and Drake London, but we can’t dictate terms for miracles.

Did you know Steve also has Tyler Warren? When did he get him? Says here he drafted him, but I swear I don’t remember it. I’m feeling less and less good about the Williams thing. But he also has Kyle Pitts, and he paid double what Micah drafted him for, so that’s something.

This is the absolute best I have seen Munson’s team look, but that’s sort of like when a really old dog has a “good day.” You know what I mean? Like it’s moving around pretty good and seems to have some of its energy back- maybe the new meds are helping with the hip pain or whatever. You’re happy to see it, but it’s not like it’s time to dust off the old frisbee and head to the park. This is about as fast is it moves.

🤡Bo Nix Blunder Bonanza🤡

Did Bo Nix do something good this week?

Many things! He did many good things! So many, in fact, that the Broncos became the first team to beat the Eagles!

Well that’s great! We are proud of our little man!

We sure are. He didn’t even throw a pick this time. It was as close to a real Big Football Boy as he’s been all season.

Then why are we here? He didn’t do a fumble, did he?

Nope! No fumbles either.

Well then explain. I am very busy and have many important things to do.

For starters, he did all those good things and didn’t even get to 18 fantasy points. He didn’t even finish in the top 15 for quarterbacks. Jake Browning had more than he did.

Hmmm. Not great, but-

And then there are, you know, the flaws.

Flaws?

Yeah. Lil Bo still cannot throw under pressure. He went 4-for-10 for 17 yards when facing pressure in Week 5.

17 yards? Like, total?

Yessir. He threw 10 times, four of them were caught, for an average of roughly four yards each.

Well that’s pretty bad, but-

And the deep ball. Still can’t throw it. 0-for-5.

Did he miss an easy touchdown again?

If you have to ask…

So what? They won the game!

Don’t care about that at all! Bo Nix sucks! See you next week!

Micah vs. Dan (133.5-103.7)

Micah declared defeat at 10:26 PM CT on Thursday night because the Rams D/ST only scored 1 point, then proceeded to coast to a stress-free win on Sunday on the shoulders of Justin Fields and Rico Dowdle (!!!), who accounted for 45.3% of Micah’s point total for the week. Breece Hall and Dalton Kincaid had strong weeks and that was really all Micah needed. It didn’t matter that Godwin isn’t back up to speed yet or that the Henry’s star might finally be fading, because outside of RBs, Dan’s team just enjoyed a nice day outside playing football with their pals. Didn’t exert too much effort, didn’t break into much of a sweat, just tossed the ol pigskin around with some friends and got out of there. 

Sidebar: There are few things more irritating than reading one of Micah’s forfeit messages and then opening up Instagram to see a picture of him and his wife in the most beautiful places in the world. But hey, we all need something to complain about, I guess.

The Packers were on bye, so 97% of Dan’s roster was out, meaning he had to start two members of the Las Vegas Raiders offense (one of whom…did not suit up). If you didn’t catch that gem of a game, the Raiders opened the scoring in the 1st with a field goal and closed the scoring in the 4th with a field goal and scored no other points in between while the defense gave up 40 points in the 2nd and 3rd to lose 40-6. 40% of Dan’s starting lineup played in that game. Also, anyone reading this, you scored more fantasy points than the Baltimore D/ST did last week. 

With a .500 record through five weeks, Micah grabs the lead of the…extremely competitive(?) division with a 1.0 game advantage over Dan and Dewitt and a 2.0 game lead over Andres. If we weren’t playing divisions, we could all just ignore these four teams for the rest of the year and move on with our lives, but I guess we still have to pay attention to them. Bummer.

Justin vs. JJ (127.1-115.3)

This was a fun one. I mean not for JJ, but it was fun to follow. Nearly everyone on JJ’s roster had one of those “C’s Get Degrees” type of games. 7 of his 10 starters scored in double digits, but none scored 20+. The majority of his team had a game you’re perfectly happy with, and as long as you get one or two guys who break out for 20+, you should be able to get the win. Unfortunately for JJ, he didn’t realize Justin was rolling out 2018 Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce on Monday night, turning a 30+ point deficit into a pretty easy W. Justin flashed his TE-whisperer skills, with Kelce and LaPorta both outscoring anyone on JJ’s roster, combining for nearly 40 points. I think the real reason we can’t add more Flex spots is that Justin will get to start more tight ends and become too powerful.  

Starting Mahomes wasn’t even the correct move, as Baker outscored him by half a point, but Justin might be in a situation where it doesn’t matter which QB he picks because they both look to be top-5 guys week-in and week-out. Not a bad problem to have, but he does find himself at 4-6 with an uphill battle making the playoffs. But with four Chicago Bears players coming off bye, I’m sure he’s not worried at all.

JJ has now dropped three straight matchups after winning the first two weeks, though his team has shown a pretty high scoring floor, so he’s been competitive each game. He shook things up last week by sending Omarion Hampton to Will with Jaylen Waddle for the other stud rookie RB, Ashton Jeanty, and Ladd McConkey, and unfortunately for Will, he was able to get that needle jammed into the voodoo doll’s ankle right before sending him off. 

Kyle vs. Lee (162.4-88.9)

Kyle Weekly High Score

So we’ve got a juggernaut on our hands with Kyle’s roster, huh. For the fourth straight week, Kyle has put an absolute beating on his opponent. After scoring 97.9 in his week one win, he has since had point totals of: 166.4, 171.2, 160.6, and 162.4. In weeks 2-5 his smallest margin of victory is 41.9 points. He’s nearly doubled up his last two opponents. He has a roster full of guys who can break big plays and get a lot of volume. He’s making all the right decisions in his lineup every week. He’s unbelievably handsome. He has a lovely wife and beautiful kids. His parents and brothers are just fantastic people. He’s funny and he’s just a great person to be around.

I hate him, and you should too. I didn’t even know this shmuck was paying attention this year. He didn’t show up to the draft video chat, hasn’t said a word all year in the Discord, and has barely made a transaction, but he’s just kicking the shit out of everyone and living his great life. He’s 9-1 because of the new additional scoring rule, but he hasn’t actually lost this year. He cannot go undefeated. That is my accomplishment. I must have one thing I am better at in life than Kyle. Please destroy him before I have to do it myself in Week 10.

As for Lee, well, bless his heart. I don’t have much to say, but opening the matchup this week to see the name “oh fiddlesticks” and the first roster spot, QB, “EMPTY” is some high-level comedy.
