Aaron Hartley
2 seasons (2024–2025) · 1 championship
Hartley's Hail Mary sounds like a team praying for a miracle, but Aaron Hartley needed only one playoff trip to bring home the 2025 title. Two seasons in, a 17-11 record and the trophy already in hand. Aaron has spent the first-round pick on a running back in both drafts, never once handed the job to the autodraft, and squeezed more out of those picks than the slot usually returns.
Trophy Case
Regular-season weeks only. Career counts run 2024–2026; Coach of the Week and Bench Blunder count from 2026, when lineups began to be recorded.

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 (8 places in a 16-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: Giant Killer in week 6.

Finish is the regular-season standing that year. Record and the points columns are the regular season only.
How the post-season splits. After the regular season this league runs a championship bracket and consolation ladders, so every team keeps playing. Made Playoffs means reaching the bracket. Playoffs is the bracket alone, while Post-Season counts bracket and consolation together — so a winning Post-Season record does not imply reaching the bracket. In the Post-Season box above, the two season counts split every season into one or the other: made the bracket, or did not. A team knocked out of the bracket then plays consolation games too, and those are included in the consolation record, which is why it can cover a season counted as a playoff appearance.
Draft Tendencies
Every draft Aaron Hartley has on record — 3 seasons. Value is measured against what the same position has returned in the same round across this league’s own finished drafts, so it reads as “better than that pick usually is” rather than as a reflection of which positions they happen to draft.
| Season | Picks | Autodrafted | 1st Rd | Draft Pts | vs Expected |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

When Aaron Hartley drafts each spot
Read it as a lineup card: QB2 is the second quarterback taken that year, and the round is the average across the drafts where one was taken at all. Slots taken only once are left out — a single draft is not a tendency.

Weekly Lineups
Every week Aaron Hartley has played since lineups started being recorded, starters first and then the bench. Open a week to see who actually played. Covers 2026 — ESPN only serves a past season’s roster as that season’s final roster, so earlier years cannot be filled in.

End-of-Season Rosters
Who Aaron Hartley finished each season with, for the years before weekly lineups were recorded. ESPN only keeps a past season’s final roster, so these are a snapshot of the last day rather than a lineup from any particular week — and there are no points beside them, because a player’s total for the year counts whatever they scored for whoever else rostered them first.
