Season Storyline

I Love Brock & Roll sits atop both the standings at 6-1 and the power rankings at 1st, riding a 5-game winning streak, while Nicholas W. Cookserio nips right behind at 6-1 with the week's highest score, 147.28, from Jaxon Smith-Njigba's huge day. Treywentworth is quietly surging with 4 straight wins and a 5-2 record, climbing into the top three. The middle of the pack is chaos — Chase Jam leapt into 4th in the power rankings after an upset win over Super SkatteBros, who've now dropped 4 in a row and tumbled to 8th despite a solid points-for total. At the bottom, Hampton Inn and Bake2803 are both mired in 3-game losing streaks, with Thomas the TD Engine the lone bright spot among the cellar-dwellers, pulling off an upset over Team Blows and riding a modest 2-game win streak.

A quarter-point margin and a forgotten bench piece turned Super SkatteBros' week into a lesson in lineup math.

Full recapHide recap

Chase Jam escaped with the week's nail-biter, riding CeeDee Lamb's 24.40, Bucky Irving's 24.00 and rookie Omar Cooper Jr.'s 22.50 to a wafer-thin 141.02 to 140.78 win over Super SkatteBros. Tee Higgins went off for 26.80 and Jameson Williams added 26.10 for RAnderson24's crew, but the real gut-punch sits on the bench, where Malik Willis piled up 26.02 behind Sam Darnold's 14.98 — swap those two and Super SkatteBros walks away with it instead of falling to 2-5. Chase Jam, meanwhile, was somehow a 21.75-point underdog on paper and still found a way to cover and win, staying steady at 4th. Closest game of the week, and it wasn't close to painless for SkatteBros.

Treywentworth wins the war, but Cook'n Rice wins the betting slip — moral victories do count for something, right?

Full recapHide recap

Treywentworth rolled behind a balanced ground-and-air attack — Rhamondre Stevenson punched in 22.50, Puka Nacua floated for 21.80, and Ashton Jeanty added 21.60 — enough firepower to put this one away in style, 131.82 to 113.18. Cook'n Rice didn't go quietly, though; Joe Burrow slung it for 28.88 and Tre Tucker chipped in 21.30, keeping ColtonHower's squad in the fight despite the loss. Matthew Stafford sat on the bench with 18.50 points unused, but even if he'd started, it wouldn't have flipped the result. With Treywentworth favored by a staggering 33.36, Cook'n Rice actually covered the spread in defeat, while Treywentworth climbs to 5-2 holding steady at 3rd and Cook'n Rice stays put at 3-4, 6th.

Nicholas W. Cookserio put up the week's best score in a statement blowout, while Bake2803's bench kept cooking a feast nobody got to eat.

Full recapHide recap

Nicholas W. Cookserio didn't just win this week, he torched the entire league, riding Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 31.30 explosion and Trey McBride's 27.10 tight end masterclass to the single highest score of anyone in the ten-team field. Geno Smith chipped in 24.48 for good measure, and the 147.28 outburst blew well past the 22.61-point spread he was favored by, covering with room to spare. Meanwhile Bake2803 could only watch Javonte Williams post 21.50 while Bo Nix and Caleb Williams combined for monster numbers rotting on the bench — though with the gap this wide, even starting that duo wouldn't have flipped the result. The 44.16-point margin pushes Nicholas W. Cookserio to 6-1 and holds steady at 2nd in the standings, while Bake2803 drops to 1-6 and sinks to 10th, dead last in the league.

Pollard and Judkins were ready to win it — gsmyers25 just forgot to let them play.

Full recapHide recap

Thomas the TD Engine rolled to a narrow but satisfying 121.24 to 118.68 win, powered by Drake Maye's 28.44, Luther Burden III's 23.70 and KC Concepcion Jr.'s rookie-season 23.20, while claytonmauldin's squad climbed out of the basement to 9th at 2-5. Team Blows had Dak Prescott throw up 23.28, but gsmyers25 inexplicably left Tony Pollard's monster 36.50 and Quinshon Judkins' 23.40 on the bench in favor of DK Metcalf's 7.60 — and either benched man swapped in for Metcalf would have flipped this result. Team Blows was favored by a whopping 27.75 points, but Thomas the TD Engine covered that spread in blowout fashion of its own kind, pulling off the upset to drop gsmyers25 to 3-4. A bench malfunction of historic proportions handed away a game that should never have been close.

  • Devaughn VeleWR16.40

Brock & Roll keep rocking at the top, while Hampton Inn checked in but couldn't check out with a win.

Full recapHide recap

I Love Brock & Roll rolled right on through Hampton Inn, with Zay Flowers torching the box score for 27.70, Amon-Ra St. Brown adding 24.20, and Christian McCaffrey chipping in a steady 22.00 to power a 133.92 statement. Hampton Inn simply couldn't keep pace, with Kirk Cousins and Devaughn Vele doing their best at 20.40 and 16.40, but it wasn't nearly enough against that kind of firepower. Adding insult to injury, NateN08 left Mason Taylor's 25.20 on the bench — though with a margin like 56.62, starting him wouldn't have flipped the outcome anyway. This was the most lopsided matchup of the week, and Hampton Inn's 77.30 was dead last across the league, even as they technically covered the enormous 79.89-point spread. NolanGrush's squad stays unbothered at 1st and 6-1, while Hampton Inn slips to 3-4 and 7th, still searching for answers.
