I Love Brock & Roll keeps pace at 3-1 with 2 straight wins, holding steady at 2nd in power rank, while Hampton Inn quietly climbed to 3rd in the standings on a 3-game win streak despite sliding down 2 spots to 9th in the power rankings — proof that record and respect don't always match. Treywentworth is the week's biggest riser, jumping 4 spots to 4th in power rank after an upset win, while Cook'n Rice tumbles 3 spots to 7th after a 2-game losing skid.

Full recapHide recap

Nicholas W. Cookserio stayed perfect behind a Bijan Robinson and Emanuel Wilson backfield double-dip, with Chris Olave chipping in to seal a comfortable 128.28 to 96.30 win and keep the squad atop the standings at 4-0. Chase Jam leaned on CeeDee Lamb's 41.30 outing, but it wasn't nearly enough, and the loss drops them to 2-2 and all the way to 6th after sitting 3rd last week. Making matters sting more, ztaff's bench featured Brian Robinson and T.J. Hockenson both putting up big numbers that never counted — though starting either one, individually, couldn't have changed how this one ended. Cookserio was favored by 18.25 and cruised past that number with room to spare, while Chase Jam's 96.30 was the lowest score in the entire league this week.

  • Tetairoa McMillanWR45.20

  • Alvin KamaraRB22.80BN

McMillan went nuclear, the spread got torched, and Treywentworth's rise from 8th to 5th says the SkatteBros might want to double-check their bench spreadsheet.

Full recapHide recap

Treywentworth stormed in as 14.88-point underdogs and left as the loudest statement win of the week, riding Tetairoa McMillan's monstrous 45.20 and Puka Nacua's steady 27.70 to a 169.12 to 141.52 blowout. Super SkatteBros got big nights from Nico Collins (30.80) and Tee Higgins (26.70), but it wasn't enough to hold off the surge, and RJ Harvey's 19.30 sat uselessly on the bench — though the math says even starting him wouldn't have flipped this one. Meanwhile, Treywentworth's Alvin Kamara also rode the pine for 22.80 points, proof that both sides had some bench regrets to sort through. The 27.60-point margin was a full cover-and-then-some, catapulting Treywentworth from 8th to 5th while Super SkatteBros stay put at 4th with a 2-2 mark.

  • Carnell TateWR21.50

Bake2803 delivered the week's biggest beatdown, while Thomas the TD Engine's bench kept scoring touchdowns nobody asked for.

Full recapHide recap

Bake2803 didn't just win, they torched the league's top scoreboard with Javonte Williams and Kenneth Walker combining for a ground-and-pound clinic, while Malik Nabers chipped in enough to make it the week's highest total, period. Thomas the TD Engine, meanwhile, got nothing from a starting lineup that could generate only 101.98, even though Drake Maye and Keon Coleman quietly lit it up from the bench — pure bench regrets, though neither swap, nor both together, would've flipped the result. Carnell Tate did his part from the starting lineup, but it was nowhere near enough against Bake2803's onslaught. The 70.24-point margin made this the most lopsided matchup of the week, with Bake2803 crushing a 29.27-point spread and climbing to 8th while Thomas the TD Engine stays parked in the basement at 0-4.

I Love Brock & Roll rolled as favorites, while Team Blows just blew it.

Full recapHide recap

Kyren Williams went off for 36.70 and Jonathan Taylor chipped in 22.70, but Team Blows still got run over, falling 159.66 to 125.10. Over on the other side, Chuba Hubbard and Zay Flowers paced I Love Brock & Roll with 25.90 and 25.80 apiece, with Bryce Young steady at 21.46, more than enough to cover as a 28.92-point favorite. Adding insult to injury, gsmyers25 left Kyle Monangai's 28.00 glued to the bench — though even starting him couldn't have flipped this one. The win keeps I Love Brock & Roll parked at 2nd with a 3-1 record, while Team Blows slides to 9th at 1-3, officially in freefall.

  • Tucker KraftTE16.50BN
Cook’n RiceL99.22
  • Joe BurrowQB25.72
  • Romeo DoubsWR23.80BN
  • Deebo SamuelWR18.00

Hampton Inn stole one by 1.16 points, while Cook'n Rice's bench card will haunt ColtonHower's dreams.

Full recapHide recap

Hampton Inn checked in and checked out with the slimmest of statement wins, riding Devaughn Vele's 17.40 and Aaron Jones' 16.80 to a 100.38 to 99.22 nail-biter. Cook'n Rice had the juice from Joe Burrow's 25.72 and Deebo Samuel's 18.00, but a zero from Rashee Rice in the lineup proved fatal while Romeo Doubs sat on the bench stuffing stats with 23.80 nobody could use — and yes, swapping him in for that Rashee Rice goose-egg would have flipped this one. Tucker Kraft also rode the pine for Hampton Inn with 16.50 left unused, but with a margin this razor-thin, a cover of a 19.32-point spread as the underdog is the real headline. This was billed as the closest matchup of the week, and it delivered exactly that, with Hampton Inn climbing to 3rd at 3-1 while Cook'n Rice slides to 7th at 2-2.
