On the other end, Skatt's My-Njigba is in freefall, down 2 power-rank spots amid a 3-game skid, while Let Him Cook and Stroud Boys are also stuck in 2-and-3-game losing streaks as the middle and bottom of the pack gets crowded and desperate.

Full recapHide recap

Jahmyrican Frontier rolled in on the strength of Jahmyr Gibbs's 37.70 and Matthew Stafford's 33.32, a combo that made the pre-game spread look almost polite. NolanGrush's Let Him Cook tried to counter with Josh Allen's 32.50 and Bucky Irving's 31.50, plus a tasty 20.88 from Malik Willis, but it wasn't nearly enough to match the Frontier's firepower. Making matters spicier, PanchoPoot left Isaiah Likely's 32.40 marinating on the bench — a near-double-stud day that didn't even count. The final was 190.52 to 162.08, a 28.44-point blowout that saw Jahmyrican Frontier cover the 23.53-point spread and climb to 3rd at 3-2, while Let Him Cook simmers at 2-3, stuck in 7th.

A backdoor cover and a last-place finish rarely feel this close — Maye Come First lost the game but won the moral victory.

Full recapHide recap

Hapslap squeaked out the closest game of the week, leaning on Puka Nacua's 37.70 eruption and Joe Burrow's 32.60 to hold off a late push from Maye Come First. Drake Maye torched the box score for 47.46, and Trevor Lawrence chipped in 25.74, but it wasn't enough as the final margin came down to just 4.96 points. Vegas — or whatever fantasy's version of Vegas is — had Hapslap favored by a ridiculous 35.28, yet Maye Come First covered in a near-upset that still ended in the loss column. The defeat drops blazinbaker's squad to 2-3 and dead last at 10th, posting the league's lowest score of the week, while Hapslap climbs to 3-2 and all the way up to 4th.

Full recapHide recap

Jaylen Warren bulldozed his way to 36.80 points and set the tone early for I Chase Brown Kids, with Tyler Huntley chipping in 28.04 and Trey McBride adding 21.60 to make this a complete team effort. Stroud Boys got a solid 26.30 from Mike Evans and 22.94 from C.J. Stroud, with Derrick Henry chipping in 21.00, but it just wasn't enough firepower to keep pace. The 27.14-point margin blew well past the modest 3.11-point spread, as I Chase Brown Kids covered in convincing fashion. jdez1's squad stays parked at 1st with a 4-1 record, while austinclark52's Stroud Boys slide to 9th at 2-3, now looking up at nearly everyone in the standings.

A win's a win, but covering the spread in defeat says Skatt's My-Njigba isn't as far off as the scoreboard suggests.

Full recapHide recap

Kotaman36's Brock hard 4 white Bowers rode a Parker Washington eruption (30.40) and Malik Nabers' steady burn (29.10) — plus a tidy 23.00 from the team's namesake Brock Bowers himself — to a 169.34 to 155.12 win, surviving a scare from jazzyJB40's Skatt's My-Njigba. Jared Goff torched the stat sheet for 34.94 and Jordan Love wasn't far behind with 29.28, but it wasn't enough as the margin landed at 14.22. Despite being favored by 18.33, Kotaman36's squad couldn't shake the pregame number clean, and Skatt's My-Njigba covered the spread in a losing effort. Both teams now sit at 2-3, with Brock hard 4 white Bowers climbing to 8th after a 10th-place start and Skatt's My-Njigba sliding to 6th after sitting 5th last week.

The Tubjobs covered, crushed, and still had Rodgers riding pine — that's a blowout with points to spare.

Full recapHide recap

The Hariet Tubjobs rolled into this one as 18.67-point underdogs and left as the loudest statement win of the week, with Jayden Daniels torching the box score for 32.26 and George Pickens chipping in a stout 28.00 to post the league's top score at 192.90. Purdy Disastrous got a nice push from Christian Watson's 32.30 and Jacoby Brissett's 31.28, with Brock Purdy adding 20.16, but it wasn't nearly enough to cover the 39.26-point gap. Add insult to injury: BroncoBrady had Aaron Rodgers, a 22nd-season arm, parked on the bench posting 28.00 that never even counted. The cover was emphatic, the margin was the widest of the week, and the standings shuffle now has the Tubjobs at 3-2 and climbing to 2nd while Purdy Disastrous slides to 5th at 2-3.
