Full recapHide recap

NikhoNation put on the week's premier show, riding Jaxon Smith-Njigba's monstrous 42.50 and DeVonta Smith's steady 27.70 to the highest score in the entire league, all while Travis Kelce watched from the bench racking up 25.10 that nobody needed. Bed Bath & Bijan got a huge night from Patrick Mahomes at 34.98, but it wasn't nearly enough, and NolanGrush's decision to bench Geno Smith and C.J. Stroud turned out to be academic — neither one, together or apart, would have flipped this result. The 55.60-point beatdown made this the most lopsided matchup of the week, with NikhoNation comfortably covering a 15.62-point spread. NikhoNation rockets to 2-0 and climbs to 3rd, while Bed Bath & Bijan slides to 1-1 and tumbles to 5th.

Full recapHide recap

Slim Pickens🍗 kept the good times rolling behind Bryce Young's 30.08, with Jahmyr Gibbs and Christian McCaffrey piling on 23.30 and 22.60 to bury shannonmatt625 under a 40.34-point avalanche. CeeDee Lamb tried to keep the resistance alive with a blistering 35.30, and Jake Ferguson chipped in 20.30, but it wasn't nearly enough against that firepower. Making matters worse, shannonmatt625 left Jared Goff's 37.78 rotting on the bench — though even if he'd started him, the math says it couldn't have flipped this one. NateN08's squad now sits 2-0 atop the standings after covering a hefty 30.33-point spread, while shannonmatt625 drops to 0-2 and 9th, searching for answers.

Vegas — er, the algorithm — got embarrassed, and Weekend at Harripfs proved that upsets don't need a full lineup to happen.

Full recapHide recap

The Knights Watch rode a monster 35.20 from Amon-Ra St. Brown and a strong Jalen Hurts outing to a very respectable 124.78, but it wasn't enough as Weekend at Harripfs stormed in behind Davante Adams going off for 39.50 and Dalton Schultz chipping in 26.00 for a 140.24 statement win. This was the closest matchup of the week, decided by just 15.46, and it came as a shocker since The Knights Watch were favored by a whopping 26.00 points before kickoff — a spread osunick14's squad blew right past. Adding insult to injury, eknight88 had Terrance Ferguson stuck on the taxi squad for 17.40 points that couldn't help, while osunick14 left Kirk Cousins and his 26.22 rotting on the bench, proving nobody in this one had a clean lineup card. The Knights Watch drop to 0-2 and slide to 8th, while Weekend at Harripfs claw up to 7th at 1-1.

Just Josh rode the Josh Allen train to a 162.28 to 141.38 win, with Allen torching the box score for 46.82 and Dak Prescott chipping in 37.76 to make it a two-quarterback wrecking crew, plus Ja'Marr Chase adding 26.50 for good measure. pogative got a strong Brock Purdy outing at 32.48 and Jonathan Taylor's 29.20, but it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit, and Tyler Shough's 24.38 sat glued to the bench the whole time. pogative was actually favored by 9.67 heading in, but Just Josh stormed through the spread like it wasn't even there. The loss drops pogative to 4th at 1-1 after opening atop the standings, while Just Josh climbs to 2nd at a perfect 2-0.

Full recapHide recap

Kev's Court 👑🌊 rode Chris Olave's 22.60 to a comfortable 132.50-105.90 win, even though the biggest arms in kevahern's arsenal never left the bench — Matthew Stafford dropped 34.98 points that counted for absolutely nothing. CeeDeez Tig Ol Griddys got a respectable 21.70 from Stefon Diggs and 20.02 from Cam Ward, but Rachaad White's 14.30 sat on the pine too, though starting him couldn't have flipped this one anyway. Kev's Court covered the 12.16 spread with room to spare, climbing to 6th at 1-1, while CeeDeez sink to 0-2 and 10th after posting the league's lowest score of the week. A 26.60-point margin that says plenty about one team's ceiling and the other's floor.
