Toño went from the lowest score in the league to the highest, 40 to 139.5. Joe scored 133.3 and lost for the first time, by 1.7. Tayler won for the first time, on three Tony Pollard touchdowns, and the two lowest scores of the week played each other.
The eleventh-best score of the week won, because the twelfth was across the table. Nico Collins scored 2.6 on a 16.7 projection while KC Concepcion scored 23.2 on the bench behind him, a 20.6-point gap and the biggest bench regret in the league. A 69.2% lineup, the lowest rating of the week, 34.3 points left unused, and up two seeds to ninth.
The fourth-best score of the week, and a 1.7-point loss. Quinshon Judkins scored 23.4 and Josh Jacobs 20.1 on the bench while Ollie Gordon II started and scored 17.3; either swap wins it. The opponent was the autodraft bot, which started DeVonta Smith, questionable and projected 0, got 0, and won anyway. It has not gloated. It does not know there was a game.
Three rushing touchdowns, 36.5 points on a 13.8 projection: the best performance and the biggest overperformance of the week. It delivered the rookie's first win, over the defending champion. Kyle Pitts Sr. scored 13.2 on the bench behind Sam LaPorta's 2.8, which this week nobody needs to bring up. 1-6, and the zero is gone.
138.7, the second-best score of the week; only Toño scored more. Drake Maye scored 27.4 and Jameson Williams 26.1 on a 10.8 projection. Cam Skattebo scored 19.1 on the bench behind Chuba Hubbard's 10.2, which cost nothing in a 47.4-point win and is printed here anyway, because the man who wrote the report does not get to edit it. Five straight wins, up two seeds to second.
The only perfect lineup of the week, and a 47.4-point loss. Joe Burrow scored 28.9; Isaiah Likely scored 3.2 on a 14.3 projection and Eddy Pineiro 1.2, and nothing on the bench would have done better. Last week the commissioner set the league's only perfect lineup and won. This week Misa set it and drew the commissioner. Down two seeds to fifth.
Emeka Egbuka and Kyle Monangai started, both questionable, both projected 0, both scored 0, with Bam Knight's 9.3 and Courtland Sutton's 7.5 on the bench. The best lineup available was 89.6, which beats Jordi's 77.1. Last week's Luckiest Win has been returned. Still 5-2, down two seeds to fourth.
Emanuel Wilson scored 18.5 on the bench while Jalen Coker started at flex and scored 1.9, a 16.6-point gap. Derrick Henry scored 5.9 on an 18 projection. The best lineup available was 105.3, which beats the rookie as well. The defending champion is 2-5, eleventh, and was the answer to Tayler's first win.
Jahmyr Gibbs scored 17.3 on a 26 projection and Kenneth Walker III 9.7 on 19.1, while Braelon Allen scored 19.4 on the bench. 114.9 was 6-5 against the field. Potatoe drew the high score of the week instead, which after four finals and no rings is a familiar shape of Sunday.
Amon-Ra St. Brown scored 24.2 at flex and Deshaun Watson 18.2 on a 14.2 projection. Blake Corum scored 17.1 on the bench behind J.K. Dobbins's 8.3, a 93% lineup that was enough. Up two seeds to third, and second in the power rankings. One ring, 2018, which the draft awards page forgot and the standings have not.
Jordan Love scored 17 on the bench while Brock Purdy started and scored 12, and Justin Jefferson scored 8.4 on an 18.5 projection. Luther Burden III scored 23.7 on a 12.7 projection. The best lineup available was 118.3, which beats Oriol's 116.1. 2-5, down two seeds to tenth.
A week ago Toño scored the lowest total in the league with three starters on zero. This week ESPN projected him for the second-lowest total in the league, and he scored more than all eleven other teams.
Brandon Aubrey, last week's 1, scored 14. The one miss: the Seahawks D/ST scored 10 on the bench while the 49ers D/ST started and scored 0. Up two seeds to eighth, the first team out, at 3-4.
Top 7 make the playoffs. Ties broken by total points scored.
