Week 5 Headlines
Nicholas W. Cookserio sits alone at the top, unbeaten at 5-0 and ranked 1st in the power rankings on the strength of a 5-game winning streak. I Love Brock & Roll keeps pace right behind at 4-1, riding its own 3-game streak and holding the 2nd power spot, while Treywentworth climbs to 3rd in the power rankings on 2 straight wins. Down in the standings, Super SkatteBros took a tumble after an upset loss as 23.16-point favorites, sliding a spot to 4th in the power rankings despite sitting 2-3, while Team Blows surged as the week's biggest riser, jumping 2 spots to 6th. At the bottom, Thomas the TD Engine remains mired at 0-5 with 5 straight losses, and Cook'n Rice has dropped 3 in a row as the league's middle and lower tiers keep shuffling week to week.
Chase Jam didn't just cover the spread, they covered it in a hazmat suit — Hampton Inn never stood a chance.
Chase Jam rolled into the win column behind Bucky Irving's 31.50 and Parker Washington's 30.40, a one-two punch that buried Hampton Inn before it could find its footing. Davante Adams, Aaron Jones and Kyler Murray all chipped in respectably for NateN08's squad, but 103.56 was never going to cut it against that kind of firepower. Oh, and ztaff had Pat Freiermuth's 21.50 glued to the bench — a nice decision there, benching a guy who'd have padded an already comfortable 34.28-point blowout. The projected 1.38-point nail-biter turned into a laugher, with Chase Jam covering easily and climbing to 4th while Hampton Inn slides to 5th despite matching records at 3-2.
Brock & Roll didn't just cover the spread — they buried it.
Super SkatteBros walked in favored by 23.16 points, and Jahmyr Gibbs did his part with a huge 37.70 showing, but Drake London's 18.80 just couldn't keep pace with what Brock & Roll brought. NolanGrush's crew rolled behind Jaylen Warren's 36.80 and Jared Goff's 28.94, with Garrett Wilson chipping in 23.40, to post the league's best score of the week at 184.64. That's a full-on cover and then some, as I Love Brock & Roll smashed the spread and won by 55.24. Oh, and RAnderson24 left Malik Willis and his 20.88 on the bench — though even starting him wouldn't have flipped this one. The loss drops Super SkatteBros to 2-3 and down to 6th, while I Love Brock & Roll stays steady at 2nd with a sharp 4-1 record.
Treywentworth didn't just win, they covered in style — Thomas the TD Engine's bench drama was just garnish on a lopsided loss.
Treywentworth stomped to a statement win behind Puka Nacua's 37.70 and Christian Watson's 32.30, a one-two punch that buried Thomas the TD Engine before halftime even registered on the scoreboard. Meanwhile Trevor Lawrence's 22.74 was about the only thing claytonmauldin's squad had going, as Drake Maye's 39.46 and Brenton Strange's 13.80 sat glued to the bench — though with the gap this wide, starting either one (or both) wouldn't have flipped a thing. Treywentworth covered the 21.13-point spread with room to spare, winning by a gaudy 121.48 margin, the most lopsided matchup of the week. The win vaults Treywentworth to 3-2 and 3rd in the standings, while Thomas the TD Engine drops to 0-5, stuck at 10th with the league's lowest score of the week. Jayden Daniels also sat out Treywentworth's win with 32.26 unused — a nice problem to have when you're already blowing teams out.
Team Blows grinds out a statement cover while Bake2803's stars shine bright in a losing effort — and gsmyers25's bench problem is a good problem to have.
Team Blows lived up to the name in victory, with George Pickens and Mike Evans doing the heavy lifting to push past a feisty Bake2803 squad, 130.14 to 105.46. Malik Nabers torched the box score with 29.10, and Sam LaPorta chipped in a strong 19.80, but it wasn't enough to keep Bake2803 off the ledger in the loss column, now sliding to 1-4 and 9th place. Credit gsmyers25 for covering the 4.70-point spread in what was officially the closest matchup of the week — fitting, given the margin was anything but a laugher at just 24.68. Oh, and Jordan Love dropped 25.28 from the bench for Team Blows, proving once again that sometimes the best player in your lineup... isn't actually in your lineup.
Cookserio's bench might be better than most teams' starting lineups — 5-0 and rolling.
Nicholas W. Cookserio kept rolling, riding Jacoby Brissett's 26.28 and Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 22.80 to a 145.08 outing that pushed logangraham to a spotless 5-0 and kept him parked atop the standings. Cook'n Rice fought gamely behind Joe Burrow's 24.60 and James Cook's 22.80, but 112.80 wasn't enough as ColtonHower fell to 2-3 and slid to 8th. Spare a thought for Matthew Stafford, who dropped 27.32 from ColtonHower's bench — though with the margin what it was, starting him wouldn't have flipped this one. Even juicier: Isaiah Likely put up a monster 32.40 on logangraham's bench, proof that Cookserio's depth is scary even when it's sitting down. Against a gaudy 40.52-point spread, Cook'n Rice still managed to cover in a 32.28-point loss.
