Full recapHide recap

Bed Bath & Bijan pulled off the cover of the week, riding Jameson Williams' 26.10 to a 126.22-122.44 win despite leaving Geno Smith's 29.48 on the bench โ€” a decision that, thankfully for NolanGrush, didn't matter since the win was already in hand. Over on the taxi squad, rookie Omar Cooper quietly dropped 22.50 points that couldn't count but sure look promising for the future. pogative got a strong 27.70 from Zay Flowers and 19.00 from Jonathan Taylor, but the real gut-punch was Mason Taylor's 25.20 sitting on the bench โ€” swap him in for Sam LaPorta's 2.80 and pogative walks away with the win instead of posting the league's lowest score of the week. Bed Bath & Bijan climbed to 3rd at 5-2 after covering a massive 10.76-point spread, while pogative slid to 4th at 4-3 after a matchup that was there for the taking.

Full recapHide recap

๐Ÿ—Slim Pickens๐Ÿ— nearly got cooked by a Kev's Court squad that threw everything it had at them โ€” Bo Nix torching the box score for 28.18, Trey McBride putting on a tight end clinic with 27.10, and Matthew Stafford chipping in 23.50 for good measure. But Slim Pickens had just enough seasoning, with Kirk Cousins (24.40), Bucky Irving (24.00) and Rhamondre Stevenson (22.50) combining for a balanced attack that edged out the win 167.22 to 164.18. The margin was razor-thin at 3.04, but the real story is the spread โ€” Kev's Court was favored by a whopping 35.38, making this a statement cover for Slim Pickens. NateN08's squad holds steady at 2nd, while kevahern's crew stays put at 6th, still searching for the breakout that their scoring suggests should be coming.

The Knights Watch banked the win, but Tony Pollard's 36.50 made sure the Griddys left with their pride โ€” and the spread โ€” intact.

Full recapHide recap

The Knights Watch leaned on a tidy three-man stack โ€” Caleb Williams slinging his way to 26.12, Amon-Ra St. Brown doing Amon-Ra things for 24.20, and Javonte Williams punching in 21.50 โ€” to power past CeeDeez Tig Ol Griddys, 165.00 to 153.68. But don't sleep on claytonmauldin's crew: Tony Pollard went off for a gaudy 36.50 and CeeDee Lamb added 24.40, making this a closer fight than the 14.91-point spread suggested. The Knights Watch covered the scoreboard but not the number, as CeeDeez Tig Ol Griddys covered against the spread despite falling to 2-5 and staying put at 8th. Meanwhile, eknight88's squad climbs to 3-4, holding steady at 7th in a league where nobody in this game is exactly running away with anything yet.

Full recapHide recap

Weekend at Harripfs pulled off a photo finish for the ages, squeaking past shannonmatt625 by the slimmest of margins โ€” just 0.08 points. Michael Penix torched the box score with 26.42, while rookies KC Concepcion and Makai Lemon chipped in 23.20 and 19.70 to push osunick14 over the top. On the other side, Drake Maye's 31.44 and Luther Burden's 23.70 weren't enough to seal the deal for shannonmatt625, who watched a 25.31-point spread advantage evaporate as Weekend at Harripfs covered in stunning fashion. The win lifts osunick14 out of the basement to 9th at 2-5, while shannonmatt625 drops to the cellar at 1-6 โ€” a gut-punch of a loss in the week's closest game across the league.

NikhoNation remains the league's unbeaten juggernaut, and everyone else is just playing for the cover.

Full recapHide recap

NikhoNation kept its unbeaten march rolling behind a Burrow-led aerial assault, with Joe Burrow slinging his way to 36.88 points while Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tee Higgins stacked the box score with 31.30 and 26.80 of their own. Just Josh fought gamely, with Malik Willis and Dak Prescott both cracking the high-20s and Quinshon Judkins chipping in 23.40, but it wasn't enough to keep pace. The 197.04 put up by NikhoNation was the week's top score in the entire league, and the 25.24 margin made this the most lopsided matchup on the board. Still, Just Josh covered the massive 29.99-point spread, a small moral victory in a game that pushed NikhoNation to a pristine 7-0 atop the standings while stocktopus's squad slips to 3-4 in 5th.
