Shep Shepherd
East End Gridiron Championship is in its first season, so there are no season records yet — but the weekly lineups are being recorded as it is played.
Shep Shepherd held the No. 2 slot on draft day, and then the autodraft took over. Every one of the 16 selections. The machine opened at quarterback with Lamar Jackson, then grabbed Chase Brown and Brock Bowers to finish the first three rounds. A shepherd whose flock picked itself, and the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers are what wandered out of the pen.

How the awards are decided
- Coach of the Week
- The best lineup choices of the week: the highest share of the best possible lineup (points scored divided by best-possible points, the Coach Rating already on Power Rankings, to one decimal). Ties on that figure are shared. Counted from 2026, because past lineups can't be rebuilt.
- Top Score
- The highest score of the week, to one decimal. Ties are shared.
- Giant Killer
- The biggest upset of the week, judged only on what was known before the game: where each team stood in the standings (record, then points scored). The winner must have gone in at least half a league’s worth of places below the loser (5 places in a 10-team league), and both teams need two games played, so it starts in Week 3. No projections of any kind.
- Narrow Escape
- The smallest winning margin of the week, to one decimal. Ties are shared.
- Bench Blunder
- The most points left on the bench: the best possible lineup minus the one started, to one decimal. Ties are shared. Counted from 2026.
- Heartbreaker
- The most points scored by a team that lost. Ties are shared.
Only regular-season weeks count. Playoff and consolation games never do.
Bench Blunder and Heartbreaker are the two friendly needles — drawn with a dashed ring, and meant in good humour rather than as a mark against anyone.
In 2026: Coach of the Week in weeks 8 and 9; Top Score in weeks 8 and 9; Giant Killer in week 7; Narrow Escape in week 7; Bench Blunder in week 3; Heartbreaker in week 4.
