Week 8 brought breakout performances, familiar champions, and one remarkable longshot. Joe Burrow and Brock Bowers posted season-high scores at their positions, Puka Nacua claimed another WR Club crown, and a $12 Player NFT delivered one of the biggest surprises of the year.
Johnson’s $12 Jackpot
Kansas City rookie Emmett Johnson rushed for just 15 yards but caught five passes for 128 yards and a 73-yard touchdown, finishing with 25.30 fantasy points.
It was barely enough. Chuba Hubbard finished at 24.90 and Jahmyr Gibbs at 24.80, making this the closest RB Club finish of the season.
Here’s the kicker: Johnson’s Player NFT sold for just $12, with $6 worth of $QBC contributed to the Prize Pool.
That bargain produced a 6,587 $QBC RB Club prize for owner Medium Pimpin. Alongside Cam Ward, Johnson also helped secure third place in Starting Four, adding another 5,000 $QBC.
Not bad for a $12 longshot.
Burrow Goes Back-to-Back
After seven weeks without a repeat QB Club winner, Joe Burrow broke through with a season-high 49.48 points.
Burrow threw for 462 yards and five touchdowns, added a rushing score, and overcame three interceptions. Patrick Mahomes finished a distant second at 31.44, followed by Josh Allen (30.56) and Cam Ward (30.26).
Burrow’s second consecutive victory earned his NFT owner another 6,930 $QBC.
Puka and Bowers Deliver
Puka Nacua captured his second WR Club title with 11 receptions, 80 yards and a touchdown. His 25.00 points comfortably topped Jameson Williams (17.00), earning 5,909 $QBC.
Meanwhile, Brock Bowers dominated the TE Club with seven catches, 92 yards and two touchdowns against the Jets. His season-high 28.20 points secured his third victory of 2026 and another 4,443 $QBC.
Starting Four: Rmboos Does It Again
Rmboos made the podium for the third consecutive week, this time taking first place with 77.26 points from Bryce Young, Chuba Hubbard, Tetairoa McMillan and Brock Bowers.
The Week 8 podium:
| Place | Member | Points | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Rmboos | 77.26 | 15,000 $QBC |
| 2nd | Darren | 63.78 | 10,000 $QBC |
| 3rd | Medium Pimpin | 55.56 | 5,000 $QBC |
Darren rode Joe Burrow’s huge performance into second place, while Medium Pimpin reached third with just two players: Cam Ward and Emmett Johnson.
