On today's episode of The Ringer Fantasy Football Show, why we love the Rams, why D.K. loves to hate on the Seahawks, and Craig says why Dalvin won't cook this week.

Also, D.K. says Troy Main Pope will be elite, even though he forgot about Troy Main Pope like two days ago.

We also give our million dollar lineup of the week and we examine a fantasy league where punters are the highest scoring players.

Stick around.

Welcome to The Ringer Fantasy Football Show. I am Danny Heifetz here with Danny Kelly and Craig Horlbeck. Are you guys ready for a fun fact?

Let's do it.

Alright, this is from Peter. Every Granny Smith Apple originated from the tree of an Australian woman named Maria and Smith, aka Granny Smith.

Oh, wow. So it's like a biologically custom, it's a custom thing. It's a custom apple.

No, it's not custom. It's just, first of all, this was one of those that I instantly was like, that's not true.

And then I like researchers like, holy crap, this is true. She just found a green apple and she just threw crab apples in her backyard and just found this apple tree.

She was like, oh my god, this is nuts. And then they were like, okay, these are great. And then it just spread.

Granny Apple's weren't really a thing to like the 1970s in America, apparently.

Like basically, you know, the NFL in terms of scoring and points and yards and everything is unprecedented.

I wrote a column about this on the ringer dot com. So I'm going to, I'm going to throw some numbers at you guys. You guys ready for that?

We'll see if I can catch through nine weeks. NFL teams are on track to score 12,967 total points, which would be a record by almost a thousand points.

And so to give you some context on like how big of a different status, the difference between first and second.

So like nine hundred and eighty points is approximately the same between the second highest and 14 highest seasons in the NFL history teams are averaging 25.3 points per game, which is

two almost two points higher than the second most prolific scoring season ever, which was 2013 when the average 23.4 points per game.
