Amelia Has the Projection. Eric Still Has First Place.

The top team in the league enters the weekend as an underdog. Aaron 4 President is 4-1 and sitting first in the standings, but Amelia's bryce young and hungry now carries a 119.02–108.90 expected advantage. Neither team had anyone play Thursday, so this one remains entirely in front of them. Eric has Trevor Lawrence, Christian Watson, Brock Bowers, Zay Flowers, Cam Skattebo, and Tony Pollard, although Jahmyr Gibbs currently carries a zero projection and Bowers is questionable with a knee issue. Amelia counters with Lamar Jackson, Kenneth Walker, James Cook, Malik Nabers, Dallas Goedert, and Jalen Coker. Jackson has improved from OUT earlier in the week to QUESTIONABLE, which is a major development for Amelia. Eric owns first place. Amelia owns the projection. Sunday gets to decide which one matters more.

Recap

Amelia Doesn't Just Beat First Place. She Destroys It.

The projection liked Amelia. It apparently wasn't nearly confident enough. bryce young and hungry exploded for 163.65 points and crushed Aaron 4 President 163.65–101.30, knocking Eric out of first place. Malik Nabers led Amelia with 28.50, Kenneth Walker scored 27.90, Kirk Cousins added 26.65, James Cook scored 24.30, and Omar Cooper erupted for 22.30 against a 5.86 projection. Eric actually got a huge 39.40 from Trevor Lawrence, but almost nothing else matched it. Cam Skattebo scored zero, Christian Watson managed 9.40, and Brock Bowers finished with 11.00. Amelia beat her projection by 44.57 points and moves to 4-2. Eric falls to 4-2 after a 62.35-point beating.

Evan Gets 22.40 Thursday and Owen's Problems Get Worse

Carnell Taint needed a rebound after getting embarrassed by ButterflyKisses last week, and Thursday gave Evan exactly that. Rashid Shaheed scored 22.40 points against a 12.04 projection, pushing Carnell Taint's expected total to 126.41. PancakePower remains stuck at 74.33, giving Evan a massive 52.08-point expected advantage. Owen still has Puka Nacua, George Pickens, Tyler Warren, Chuba Hubbard, and Quinshon Judkins, but Jalen Hurts, Chase Brown, and Aaron Jones currently carry zero projections. Evan counters with Dak Prescott, Javonte Williams, DK Metcalf, Carnell Tate, Braelon Allen, and the Thursday points already in the bank. The fantasy king took a beating last week. This week currently looks a lot more like restoration of the monarchy.

Recap

The Fantasy King Gets His Get-Well Game

Evan needed a rebound and PancakePower provided exactly what the doctor ordered. The newly renamed i didnt hear no bell beat Owen 102.00–46.40 in a game that was effectively over before most of Sunday mattered. Rashid Shaheed's 22.40 Thursday performance ended up as Evan's best score, while Carnell Tate added 19.00 and Dak Prescott scored 17.60. Owen's lineup was devastated by unavailable players. Jalen Hurts, Chase Brown, Quinshon Judkins, Tyler Warren, and Aaron Jones combined for zero points, leaving Chuba Hubbard's 19.10 and Puka Nacua's 14.00 to do almost all the work. Evan improves to 4-2. PancakePower falls to 1-5 after scoring only 46.40.

Keith Gets the Thursday Boost Austin Couldn't Afford

Austin needed Thursday to help close an already-large projection gap. Instead, it widened. Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored 25.40 for Keith, beating his projection, while Jaylen Waddle managed only 6.40 for Austin. Panthers14 now holds a 133.40–102.91 expected advantage, a 30.50-point margin. Keith still has Jordan Love, Ashton Jeanty, Jaylen Warren, Garrett Wilson, Harold Fannin, and Luther Burden waiting to play. Austin counters with Jayden Daniels, Rhamondre Stevenson, Drake London, Saquon Barkley, Emeka Egbuka, and MarShawn Lloyd. Barkley is questionable with a hamstring injury. GirlfriendTaker entered the week needing roster improvement just to make this competitive. Thursday made that task considerably harder.

Recap

Keith Handles Business and Moves to 4-2

Thursday pointed toward a Panthers14 win, and nothing over the weekend changed the direction. Keith beat GirlfriendTaker 113.50–87.50 to improve to 4-2. Jordan Love led Panthers14 with 26.00, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's Thursday score held at 25.40, Luther Burden added 17.50, and Ashton Jeanty scored 15.80. Austin got 28.00 from Jayden Daniels, 18.50 from Colston Loveland, and 17.80 from Emeka Egbuka, but Rhamondre Stevenson and MarShawn Lloyd combined for only 4.60 while Saquon Barkley scored zero. Neither team reached projection, but Keith had more than enough. Austin falls to 1-5.

Michelle Has Momentum. Joe Still Has the Edge.

ButterflyKisses finally won last week, but Michelle will need another strong Sunday to turn that into a streak. Mud Dogs enters the weekend favored 126.56–114.21. Neither team had anyone play Thursday, so the matchup remains clean. Joe has Brock Purdy, Bucky Irving, CeeDee Lamb, Matthew Golden, Tucker Kraft, Brian Robinson, and KaVontae Turpin, with DJ Moore questionable. Michelle counters with Jacoby Brissett, Bijan Robinson, Nico Collins, Terry McLaurin, Travis Kelce, Kimani Vidal, and Denzel Boston. Michelle's lineup looks healthier than it did Tuesday, and replacing the injured Will Shipley with Vidal helps. The projection still favors Joe by 12.35, but ButterflyKisses already showed last week what happens when everyone assumes the favorite is safe.

Recap

Joe Wins the Week's Ugliest Game

Nobody is framing this score and hanging it on the wall, but Mud Dogs will happily take the win. Joe beat ButterflyKisses 82.90–56.00 despite missing his projection by 31.75 points. Matthew Golden led Mud Dogs with 22.40, Brock Purdy added 22.00, and CeeDee Lamb scored 16.00. Michelle's lineup completely collapsed. Nico Collins was her highest scorer at only 10.90, Jacoby Brissett managed 10.10, Bijan Robinson scored 7.30, and every starter finished below projection. ButterflyKisses missed its projection by an astonishing 62.31 points. Joe moves to 4-2. Michelle's attempt at a winning streak ends immediately at 1-5.

Alexis Wins Thursday. Sam Still Holds the Edge.

The Week 6 projection originally gave Sam a sizable advantage over one of the league's two 4-1 teams. Thursday narrowed it. RJ Harvey scored 14.60 for Alexis, beating his projection by 3.79 and lifting Nix for Six to a 116.12 expected total. Insert Team Name remains favored at 123.85, but the margin is down to 7.73 points. Alexis still has Josh Allen, D'Andre Swift, Tetairoa McMillan, Isaiah Likely, Blake Corum, and Keaton Mitchell. Sam counters with Bryce Young, Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, Parker Washington, Trey McBride, Rashee Rice, and Tre Tucker. Sam's lineup has also undergone repairs since Tuesday, including Bryce Young replacing the injured Caleb Williams. Alexis has the record and the Thursday points. Sam still has the projection. This is now much closer to the contender test it should have been.

Recap

Alexis Takes Over First Place

Sam put up 138.55 points and still couldn't stop Nix for Six. Alexis exploded for 149.75, beat the projected favorite by 11.20, and moved to 5-1 as the only five-win team in the league. Germie Bernard led the way with 25.70, Josh Allen scored 24.85, Isaiah Likely added 23.90, and D'Andre Swift scored 23.00. Sam absolutely made her earn it. Christian McCaffrey scored 30.70, Tre Tucker erupted for 26.70, Bryce Young scored 26.65, and Chimere Dike added 17.60. Both teams crushed their projections, but Alexis beat hers by 35.78 points. The contender test is over. Nix for Six leaves Week 6 sitting alone in first place.

Mike's Projection Somehow Got Worse

Don't Panic! entered Week 6 staring at one of the ugliest projections of the season. Thursday managed to make it worse. Emanuel Wilson scored only 5.20 against a 12.69 projection, dropping Mike's expected total to 87.01. Clark hasn't had anyone play yet and remains projected for 145.71, leaving The Android with a ridiculous 58.70-point advantage. Mike still has Tyler Shough, Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Olave, Khalil Shakir, Michael Mayer, Rashod Bateman, and Mike Washington. Olave and Bateman are questionable. Clark counters with Matthew Stafford, Jonathan Taylor, Kyren Williams, Mike Evans, Davante Adams, George Kittle, Woody Marks, and Dalton Kincaid. Mike's lineup has changed since Tuesday. The math has not become any friendlier.

Recap

Don't Panic! Apparently Meant It

Friday gave Mike almost no chance. Sunday apparently never read the preview. Don't Panic! stunned The Android 129.40–111.00, beating projection by 20.31 points and turning a massive expected deficit into an 18.40-point victory. Tyler Shough erupted for 34.40, Bhayshul Tuten scored 24.70, Michael Mayer added 16.50, and Keenan Allen contributed 16.20. Clark got 22.10 from Matthew Stafford, 21.10 from Jonathan Taylor, and 17.90 from George Kittle, but Kyren Williams managed only 9.70 and the lineup finished 17.14 below projection. Mike moves to 3-3 with one of the biggest projection-defying wins of the season. Turns out the correct response really was Don't Panic!

Owen's Pancakes Are Suddenly Looking Dangerous

Eric entered Week 5 at 3-1 and originally held the projection advantage over Owen's 1-3 PancakePower. Then Thursday happened. George Pickens dropped 28.00 points for Owen, beating his projection by 14.18 and flipping the matchup. PancakePower now holds a 121.84–115.86 expected edge, a 5.98-point advantage. Jalen Hurts, Puka Nacua, Chase Brown, and Quinshon Judkins still haven't played for Owen, while Eric is counting on Jahmyr Gibbs, Trevor Lawrence, Brock Bowers, Christian Watson, and Zay Flowers. Eric also has some injury uncertainty, with Cam Skattebo and Flowers carrying questionable tags, while Xavier Worthy currently has a zero projection. Owen had the league's highest score last week at 146.15. Apparently, he wasn't finished making people nervous.

Recap

Eric Survives Owen's Best Shot

PancakePower did exactly what the Thursday preview suggested he might: Owen put up another big number. It still wasn't enough. Eric answered with 152.95 points to beat PancakePower 152.95–136.00 and improve to 4-1. Jahmyr Gibbs led Aaron 4 President with 37.70, Christian Watson exploded for 32.30, Trevor Lawrence added 28.05, and Brock Bowers scored 23.00. Owen got 37.70 from Puka Nacua, 28.00 from George Pickens, and 21.40 from Tyler Warren, but a zero from Chuba Hubbard and only 7.00 from Chase Brown left too much ground to make up. Both teams crushed their projections. Eric simply crushed his a little harder.

This matchup was already close, but Thursday gave Austin something he desperately needed: points. Emeka Egbuka scored 17.20, beating his projection by 6.38 and pushing GirlfriendTaker into a 109.55–106.22 expected lead, a 3.33-point advantage. Austin enters at 1-3 after a rough start, while Amelia is 2-2 and coming off a 144.90-point demolition of Sam. Austin still has Bo Nix, Drake London, Jaylen Waddle, Jameson Williams, and Rhamondre Stevenson waiting to play. Amelia counters with Kirk Cousins, James Cook, Malik Nabers, Sam LaPorta, and KC Concepcion, with Nabers carrying a questionable tag. Making things more interesting, Austin's Thursday hero Egbuka came over in the recent trade with Mike. One game into the week, that deal is already paying dividends.

Recap

Amelia Takes Over After Thursday

Austin won Thursday. Amelia won everything after it. bryce young and hungry beat GirlfriendTaker 113.65–89.75 to improve to 3-2, powered by 29.10 from Malik Nabers, 21.80 from James Cook, and 19.80 from Sam LaPorta. Austin got useful performances from Drake London, Jameson Williams, Emeka Egbuka, and Rhamondre Stevenson, but Bo Nix scored only 10.15, Jaylen Waddle managed 4.80, and Kenyon Sadiq contributed 0.30. GirlfriendTaker finished 13.38 points below projection while Amelia beat hers by nearly seven. Thursday belonged to Austin. The matchup belonged to Amelia.

The Fantasy King Is Losing to an 0-4 Team. For Now.

Evan has won the last two Domestic championships, started this season 3-1, and continues to carry himself like fantasy royalty. Michelle is 0-4 and has spent September wondering what she did to offend the football gods. Naturally, Thursday flipped the script. Dak Prescott scored 19.80 and Javonte Williams added 14.20 for Evan, but both finished below projection. Jake Ferguson managed only 4.90 for Michelle, yet ButterflyKisses now holds the expected edge at 115.14–109.44, a 5.70-point advantage. Bijan Robinson, Nico Collins, Jacoby Brissett, and Will Shipley give Michelle plenty of Sunday firepower, while Evan still has DK Metcalf, Rashid Shaheed, Jeremiyah Love, and several other pieces waiting to play. Evan has 34.00 points in the bank, but Michelle has the projection. Could the league's last winless team finally knock the crown sideways?

Recap

Michelle Knocks the Crown Clean Off

The answer was yes. Very yes. ButterflyKisses earned its first victory of the season by crushing two-time defending champion Carnell Taint 113.20–75.40. Jacoby Brissett was the unlikely hero with 35.20 points, and Denzel Boston added 14.90. Evan's lineup never got going. Dak Prescott led the team with only 19.80, while six of his eight starters finished below projection and Carnell Taint missed its team projection by a brutal 47.06 points. Michelle entered the week 0-4. She left it 1-4 after handing the fantasy king a 37.80-point loss. The crown isn't gone, but it definitely has a dent in it.

Sam's Lead Is Down to Almost Nothing

Sam entered Week 5 with a chance to knock off one of the league's five 3-1 teams, and the original projections gave Insert Team Name a solid advantage. Thursday did not help. Kenny Gainwell scored just 5.80 against a 12.05 projection, shrinking Sam's expected edge to almost nothing. Insert Team Name is still barely favored, 124.80–123.70, a difference of just 1.10 points. Sam still has Joe Burrow, Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, Parker Washington, and Trey McBride, which gives him plenty of upside. Keith counters with Sam Darnold, Ashton Jeanty, Jaylen Warren, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Garrett Wilson, and Tee Higgins, with Jeanty and Higgins carrying injury concerns. Keith survived a 1.90-point thriller against Clark last week. Sam is 1-3 and needs this one, but what looked like a comfortable projection is now essentially a coin flip.

Recap

Sam Turns the Coin Flip Into 140

The matchup looked like a coin flip entering the weekend. Sam apparently preferred a much less stressful solution. Insert Team Name erupted for 140.90 points and beat Panthers14 140.90–122.45, moving Sam to 2-3. Joe Burrow scored 34.50, Parker Washington delivered 31.50, Trey McBride added 21.60, and Derrick Henry scored 21.00. Keith got a monster 36.80 from Jaylen Warren and 23.40 from Garrett Wilson, but Tee Higgins and Harold Fannin combined for only 5.60. Sam entered the week needing a win. He got one with his best kind of fantasy performance: no drama required by Sunday night.

Joe Gets 31.50 From Bucky. Now It's Basically Dead Even.

Mike and Joe enter their latest family showdown with identical 2-2 records, but Thursday produced one of the strangest starts of the week. Bucky Irving exploded for 31.50 points for Joe, more than doubling his projection. Unfortunately, CeeDee Lamb contributed just 2.90, turning what could have been an enormous opening night into a combined 34.40 points. Even with Joe's early lead, the expected finish is almost perfectly even: Mud Dogs 109.31, Don't Panic! 109.06. That's a difference of only 0.25 points. Mike hasn't had anyone play yet and will rely on Amon-Ra St. Brown, Chris Olave, Bhayshul Tuten, Tyler Shough, Emanuel Wilson, and Mike Washington. Joe still has Brock Purdy, Matthew Golden, Tucker Kraft, T.J. Hockenson, and DJ Moore waiting. Joe has the points. The projection says basically nothing separates them. That feels about right for these two.

Recap

The Coin Flip Was Not a Coin Flip

So much for 0.25 points. Mud Dogs beat Don't Panic! 101.45–61.60 in a 39.85-point demolition that looked nothing like Thursday's projection. Bucky Irving's 31.50 remained the centerpiece for Joe, while Brock Purdy added 23.05 and Matthew Golden scored 23.00. Mike's entire lineup collapsed. Amon-Ra St. Brown led Don't Panic! with only 14.50, Tyler Shough scored 2.80, Michael Mayer managed 1.20, and Mike Washington added just 2.00. Don't Panic! finished an astonishing 49.79 points below projection. Joe didn't need a great week. He just needed to avoid the crater on the other side.

Two 3-1 Teams. One Early Statement Opportunity.

Five teams are tied at 3-1, but only Alexis and Clark get to settle things directly this week. Neither team has put any points on the board yet, and The Android currently holds a 131.19–124.16 projection advantage, a 7.03-point edge. Clark leads the league with 547.70 season points and brings Jared Goff, Jonathan Taylor, Kyren Williams, Davante Adams, George Kittle, and David Montgomery into the matchup. Alexis counters with Josh Allen, Ja'Marr Chase, D'Andre Swift, RJ Harvey, Courtland Sutton, and Malik Washington. There are injury questions on her side, including Chase's concussion designation, Swift's hip, and Isaiah Likely's knee, while Mike Evans is questionable for Clark. Alexis scored 139.15 last week to reach 3-1, while Clark is looking to rebound from his first defeat. This is the week's clearest opportunity for one contender to separate from the crowd.

Recap

Alexis Wins the Statement Game

The Android entered Week 5 as the projected favorite and the league's highest-scoring team. Alexis left Sunday as one of only two 4-1 teams. Nix for Six beat Clark 146.90–128.05 behind 35.60 from Josh Allen and a massive 32.40 from Isaiah Likely, who beat his projection by more than 21 points. Clark got 36.65 from Jared Goff, 26.30 from Mike Evans, and 22.10 from Davante Adams, but David Montgomery scored only 1.10 and Dalton Kincaid managed 3.70. Alexis exceeded her projection by 21.85 points and turned the week's contender showdown into a clear statement: she's not just hanging around the top of the standings anymore.

Austin Took the First Swing, but Eric Still Has the Edge

Austin already has 13.70 points on the board Thursday, but the night was a mixed bag. Raheim Sanders beat his projection with 10.20 while Michael Pittman managed only 3.50, leaving GirlfriendTaker with an updated expectation of 109.01. Eric hasn't had anyone play yet and remains projected for 124.35, giving Aaron 4 President a 15.34-point advantage. Austin pulled off the upset last week, so another one would make for a pretty impressive two-game turnaround after starting 0-2.

Recap

Eric Leaves No Doubt Against Austin

Austin's upset streak ended quickly. Aaron 4 President rolled to a 123.15–82.80 win over GirlfriendTaker, improving Eric to 3-1 and dropping Austin to 1-3. Zay Flowers led Eric with 25.80 points, while Brock Bowers added 20.60 and Rome Odunze chipped in 15.40. Austin got 19.60 from Chris Olave and 17.70 from Bo Nix, but too many holes elsewhere kept GirlfriendTaker from making this competitive. Eric was favored coming in and delivered a 40.35-point win to stay right in the middle of the early-season title chase.

The battle of the winless teams already has a clear early leader.

Michelle hasn't had anyone play yet and sits at 95.40, with Breece Hall doubtful, Travis Etienne out, and Nico Collins questionable. ButterflyKisses has actually outscored PancakePower by more than 75 points this season despite their matching 0-3 records, but Owen now carries a massive 40.92-point expected advantage. His first win is sitting there for the taking.

Recap

PancakePower Finally Gets Its First Win

The 0 had to disappear for somebody, and Owen made absolutely sure it was his. PancakePower crushed ButterflyKisses 146.15–96.00 for its first win of the season. Puka Nacua led the way with 27.70 points, Chuba Hubbard added 25.90, and Quinshon Judkins delivered 21.60 as Owen beat his team projection by 19.56 points. Michelle actually got huge games from Nico Collins with 30.80 and Bijan Robinson with 27.70, but two injured starters and an empty lineup spot were too much to overcome. Owen escapes the winless club at 1-3. Michelle is now its only remaining member.

Nothing adds a little spice to a 1-2 start quite like playing your significant other. Neither side had anyone play Thursday, so Sam enters the weekend with the same 136.03–125.33 advantage. Joe Burrow, Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, and Trey McBride lead Insert Team Name, while Amelia counters with Lamar Jackson, James Cook, Kenneth Walker, and Malik Nabers. Lamar Jackson and Jalen Coker are both questionable for Amelia, adding a little lineup drama to a matchup both teams could badly use to reach 2-2. Dinner should still be fun either way.

So much for Sam being the favorite. Amelia demolished Insert Team Name 144.90–90.80, beating her projection by 26.91 points while Sam fell 46.76 below his. Kenneth Walker exploded for 30.90, Malik Nabers scored 23.20, and Sam LaPorta added 22.40 as bryce young and hungry improved to 2-2. Joe Burrow gave Sam 31.00, but nearly everything behind him disappointed, including just 2.30 from Parker Washington and zero from Rashee Rice. The final margin was 54.10 points. Amelia gets the win, the better record, and presumably the right to mention this whenever convenient.

Father vs Son, and Dad Is Still the Underdog

The family showdown reaches the weekend without either side having played, and the back-to-back champ still has the advantage. Evan's Carnell Taint is projected for 122.16 against Mike's 110.64, an 11.52-point edge. Mike has Amon-Ra St. Brown, Emeka Egbuka, Jaylen Waddle, and Tyler Shough trying to knock off the fantasy king, while Evan counters with Dak Prescott, Jeremiyah Love, Deebo Samuel, and Justin Jefferson. Jefferson is questionable with an ankle injury, giving Dad at least one potential opening. Mike survived last week by 2.30 points. Another stressful Sunday may be on the way.

The father-son showdown belonged comfortably to the son. Evan's Carnell Taint beat Mike's Don't Panic! 137.85–96.50, improving the defending back-to-back champion to 3-1. Javonte Williams erupted for 31.30 points, while Deebo Samuel added 21.90 and Rashid Shaheed scored 20.80. Mike never found a comparable explosion; Tyler Shough led Don't Panic! with 20.80 and Rhamondre Stevenson added 18.40. Evan beat his projection by 20.16 points while Mike finished 17.23 below his.

The matchup of the week is officially underway. Keith got 15.60 from Jaylen Warren and 11.70 from Harold Fannin on Thursday, putting 27.30 on the board before Clark sent out a single player. That wasn't quite enough to match their combined projections, but Panthers14 still carries an updated 136.09–124.91 advantage. More importantly, Keith has solved Tuesday's quarterback problem and now has Jordan Love in the lineup. Clark remains the league's only undefeated team at 3-0, while Keith sits 2-1 with 410.80 season points. The heavyweight fight looks a lot more interesting now that both sides remembered to bring a quarterback.

The heavyweight fight delivered the closest finish of the week. Panthers14 edged The Android 122.30–120.40, handing Clark his first loss and moving Keith to 3-1. Tee Higgins led Keith with 26.70 points, while Ashton Jeanty added 18.60. Clark nearly stole it behind a massive 36.70 from Kyren Williams and 26.60 from Jared Goff, but Dalton Kincaid, David Montgomery, and Kalif Raymond combined for only 10.20 points. Just 1.90 separated them when it was over. The Android is no longer undefeated, and suddenly the top of the standings is very crowded.

Alexis Has the Edge on Joe

Neither Alexis nor Joe had anyone play Thursday, but their lineups look a lot healthier than they did Tuesday. Alexis enters the weekend projected ahead 121.18–105.23, with Josh Allen, Ja'Marr Chase, D'Andre Swift, and Tetairoa McMillan leading Nix for Six. Joe has cleaned up the De'Von Achane situation and now counters with Patrick Mahomes, CeeDee Lamb, Bucky Irving, and Matthew Golden. There are still injury concerns on the Mud Dogs side, including Irving, DeVonta Smith, and DJ Moore, while Alexis currently has a clean injury report among her starters. Both teams are 2-1, so somebody gets to leave the weekend firmly in the early playoff mix.

Recap

Tetairoa McMillan Launches Alexis to 3-1

Joe got 41.30 points from CeeDee Lamb and still lost. That's the kind of week Alexis had. Tetairoa McMillan erupted for 44.20 points, RJ Harvey added 24.70, and Nix for Six beat Mud Dogs 139.15–122.85. Alexis entered as the projected underdog but outscored her projection by 30.42 points to improve to 3-1. Joe also got strong games from Patrick Mahomes, KaVontae Turpin, and Tucker Kraft, but 1.90 from Kendre Miller and 2.70 from DJ Moore helped sink the comeback. Alexis joins the growing 3-1 crowd near the top of the standings.

Michelle Just Made This Interesting

Aaron 4 President opened the week with a 12.95-point projected advantage, but Thursday cut that gap to just 4.67. Christian Watson gave Eric a strong 22.60 points, finishing 7.01 above projection, but Michelle answered with a massive 35.30 from Bijan Robinson — 15.29 above expectation. The updated totals now sit at 123.70–119.03 for Eric. ButterflyKisses is still 0-2, but after Bijan's Thursday eruption, this has gone from a comfortable Eric advantage to one of the tighter matchups of the weekend.

Recap

Gibbs Powers Eric Through a Shootout

Michelle picked a bad week to finally get her offense rolling. Brock Purdy exploded for 42.25 and Bijan Robinson added 35.30 as ButterflyKisses easily posted its best score of the season. Unfortunately, Eric had even more. Jahmyr Gibbs erupted for 41.40, Brock Bowers added 27.60, and Aaron 4 President finished with 157.20 to move to 2-1. Michelle falls to 0-3 despite scoring 135.65 — the kind of fantasy football cruelty that makes you wonder why you signed up for this in the first place.

Insert Team Name is still favored, but Austin made a serious dent in Sam's advantage Thursday night. Drake London exploded for 28.40 points, nearly 15 above projection, lifting GirlfriendTaker's updated expected total to 119.33. Sam has not had a starter play yet and remains at 131.07, shrinking what began as a 26.69-point projected margin to just 11.74. Austin is still looking for his first fantasy win, and London just gave him a much better chance to get it.

Recap

Austin Picks Up His First Win in Style

Austin didn't just get his first fantasy win — he did it as a 23-point projected underdog. Bo Nix led GirlfriendTaker with 31.00, while Drake London and Kenyon Sadiq combined for another 51.90. Sam actually put together a solid 128.70 behind Joe Burrow, Christian McCaffrey, and Derrick Henry, but Austin blew past his projection by more than 32 points. GirlfriendTaker is officially in the win column, and the new guy gets some bragging rights over one of the friends who brought him into this mess.

PancakePower Still Has the Edge

Nothing on Thursday changed this matchup, leaving PancakePower projected ahead 117.71–101.37. Owen has Jalen Hurts, Chase Brown, Puka Nacua, George Pickens, and Chuba Hubbard, while Don't Panic! counters with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Tyler Shough, Bhayshul Tuten, and Jaylen Waddle. Puka Nacua is questionable with groin soreness and Aaron Jones is also questionable for Owen, while Mike has Terrance Ferguson carrying an ankle tag. The 16.35-point gap remains intact heading into the weekend.

Recap

Mike Escapes by 2.30

This was not pretty. Mike and Owen were projected almost dead even, and apparently both decided that meant they should see how little they could score while still making it interesting. Tyler Shough's 35.35 carried Don't Panic! while most of Mike's lineup struggled, and Owen couldn't quite capitalize with Puka Nacua out and Jalen Hurts and Chase Brown both falling well short of projection. Mike survives 95.35–93.05 and somehow walks away 2-1. Owen falls to 0-3 after coming within 2.30 points of finally breaking through.

Still Basically a Coin Flip

The Android and bryce young and hungry remain separated by almost nothing. Amelia holds a 127.61–127.15 projection edge — just 0.46 points — with neither team having scored yet. Clark brings Jared Goff, Jonathan Taylor, Kyren Williams, Davante Adams, and Ladd McConkey, while Amelia counters with Lamar Jackson, James Cook, Kenneth Walker, and Jalen Coker. Mike Evans is questionable for Clark and Coker is questionable for Amelia. Clark is 2-0, Amelia is 1-1, and this matchup is still about as close as projections can get.

Recap

The Android Is the Last Perfect Team Standing

Clark didn't need his best game to remain undefeated. Jared Goff delivered 26.05, Kyren Williams scored 21.80, and Davante Adams added 20.70 as The Android improved to 3-0. Amelia got good production from Lamar Jackson, James Cook, and Kenneth Walker, but the bottom half of the lineup couldn't keep pace. Clark now sits alone atop the standings as the league's only undefeated team. The machine remains operational.

The King Gets More Breathing Room

The sibling matchup tilted further toward Evan after Thursday. Alexis got only 1.50 points from Kyle Pitts, nearly eight below projection, dropping Nix for Six's updated expected total to 109.14. Carnell Taint has not had a starter play yet and remains at 125.81, stretching Evan's advantage from 8.69 points to 16.68. Alexis still has Josh Allen, Ja'Marr Chase, D'Andre Swift, and Tetairoa McMillan waiting, but the defending champion now has a much more comfortable path to handing his sister her first loss.

Recap

Evan Wins the Sibling Beatdown

The defending back-to-back champion didn't show much mercy to his older sister. Evan got 23.30 apiece from Juwan Johnson and Deebo Samuel, another 21.90 from Jeremiyah Love, and cruised past Alexis by 43.20 points. Ja'Marr Chase did his part for Nix for Six with 24.80, but too many of Alexis' starters came up short. Both siblings leave Week 3 at 2-1, but little brother gets the family bragging rights this time — which we're sure he'll handle with his usual humility.

Joe Strengthens His Grip

Mud Dogs entered the week as a heavy favorite and Thursday nudged the matchup even further in Joe's direction. Matthew Golden scored 21.00, beating projection by 7.09, while Tucker Kraft's 6.60 came in 4.83 below expectation. The net result lifts Joe's updated expected total to 130.28 against Keith's 102.40, a 27.88-point advantage. Panthers14 also still has Jaxson Dart, who is OUT following knee surgery, sitting in the starting lineup. Keith has time to make a change, but right now Joe has the clearest edge on the Domestic board.

Recap

Keith Scores 160 Without a Quarterback

Apparently quarterbacks are optional now. Keith left Jaxson Dart in the lineup on IR and received exactly zero points from the most important position in fantasy football — then casually dropped the highest score of the week anyway. Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored 35.50, Garrett Wilson had 26.70, Harold Fannin added 24.10, and virtually everyone else joined the party. Panthers14 demolished Joe 160.00–105.90 despite entering as a projected underdog. Keith moves to 2-1 and has now provided the rest of the league with an uncomfortable question: if he can score 160 without a QB, what happens when he actually starts one?

GirlfriendTaker has Saquon Barkley, Drake London, and Chris Olave, but the lineup is still thin in a few spots. Austin did make a move for Raheim Sanders, though he'll need more than one waiver change to erase a 24.41-point gap.

Recap

The Android Goes Full Terminator

Clark absolutely demolished Austin 165.25–60.70 in a 104.55-point rout. Davante Adams dropped 39.50, Jared Goff added 39.05, Jonathan Taylor scored 29.20, and Dalton Kincaid chipped in 22.50.

Recap

Evan still has the advantage, but Thursday cut into it. Rashid Shaheed scored 10.30, more than five points below projection, dropping Carnell Taint's updated expected total to 120.90. Amelia still has not had a starter play and sits at 114.02, leaving this much tighter than the original 12.31-point spread. Evan also has Jeremiyah Love listed questionable with an ankle issue, while Amelia has Malik Nabers carrying a questionable designation. The two-time champ is still favored, but the rookie is very much alive.

Recap

The Rookie Dethrones the King

The best finish of Week 1 belonged to Amelia. In her first fantasy matchup, she knocked off the two-time defending champion by just 0.55 points, 137.10–136.55. Kenneth Walker exploded for 34.10 and Jalen Coker added 33.80, while Evan countered with 31.20 from Justin Jefferson and 24.20 from Javonte Williams. The champ scored plenty — but the rookie scored just enough.
