Week 3 Recaps THE LATEST
Ceedeez La DD 117.10OG Token 112.24
A statement win from the league's most handsome commissioner. Nephew beats uncle by 4.86, and Ken did help. He started Mahomes (15.94) and left Darnold's 27.66 on the bench, plus Meyers' 19.4. Optimal lineup was 145.84. Matthew rode Tyler Shough (23.8) and CeeDee (20.2). Elite roster construction, frankly.Pookie Nacuie 95.34Not Irving Trying 80.78
Dylan left 49.9 on the bench: Michael Wilson (25.9) and Juwan Johnson (23.3) sat while Jefferson (5.2), Hampton (5.6), Kincaid (3.8) and McMillan (3.7) started. Set it right and he wins by 35. Not Irving Trying, not lineup setting either. Derek scores 95 and goes 3-0 anyway, because of course.Better luck next time! 153.04White Guy 91.18
Gibbs dropped 41.4 and Bowers came off IR for 27.6. Better luck next time? Jeremy's 2-1, he doesn't need it. Logan started Achane (1.7) and benched Sadiq (23.5) and Wan'Dale (18.7). Losing margin: 61.86, the exact same number he lost by in Week 1. That's not a slump, that's a brand.Njigbas in Paris 140.14Mr Steinfeld And Co 103.46
JSN 35.36, Drake London 28.4. Justin's Eagles D/ST went for −1. Josh Allen had a quiet one, which this paper blames on the Buffalo weather and on Justin, in that order.I Don't Know 166.04darn im old 102.04
Week high. Bijan 35.3, Fannin 24.1, and Nate still started a 0-projection Nico Collins for the second straight week. darn im old benched Goff (19.36) to start Herbert (12.74). Again. Forgetful. More on that later.Backshot Brandon 132.44🏉 120.08
Kittle 26.2, Henry 21.9, and Connor hands Tommy his first loss. Purdy put up 31.28 but St. Brown (11.9 on a 19.9 projection) didn't show and Addison's 20 sat on the bench.The Rewind WEEKS 1 & 2

Awards WEEKS 1–3
Player of the Week
Jahmyr Gibbs (Jeremy), 41.4. Season total 98.3 and the reason Jeremy is 2-1 despite treating the waiver wire like a group chat.
Player of the Month
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Jonny), 104.06. 26.2, 42.5, 35.36. Jonny named the team after him and the man is paying rent.
Bench Blunder
Dylan, Week 3. 49.9 left on the bench in a 14.56-point loss. Optimal lineup was 130.68. That's how you go 0-3.
Heartbreaker
Ken, Week 3. Lost by 4.86 to his nephew with Darnold's 27.66 on the bench. Fixing the QB alone wins it.
One Week Late
Ken. W2: benched Mahomes (28.98) for Dart (0.8). W3: starts Mahomes (15.94), benches Darnold (27.66). Always chasing last week.
The Herbert Situation
Sarah. Goff has outscored Herbert all three weeks from the bench: 65.58 to 33.88. Most bench points in the league (105.5). Somehow 2-1.
Started a Ghost
Nate. Nico Collins, 0 projection, in the WR slot in Weeks 2 and 3. Team name checks out: I Don't Know.
Perfect Lineup
Jeremy, Week 2. Zero points left on the bench, against his own son. Cold.
Saquon Watch
Matthew. Barkley: 9, 3, 9. The commissioner's office calls this "load management" and considers the matter closed.
League MVP (Unbiased)
Josh Allen. 35.66 and 40.82, two wins carried. Any game under 30 is weather, refs, or Justin not believing in him enough.
Trade Report WAIVER WIRE EDITION
Trades processed: 0
Three weeks in, nobody has traded anybody. One offer got declined in Week 1, and that's been the entire market. Somebody make a move.Jeremy: 19 transactions
VerdictMost in the league by nine. Highlights: dropped Kamara Week 1 (Derek has him now), dropped Michael Mayer twice, picked up C.J. Stroud and cut him one minute later for Tank Bigsby, who lasted two days. Also cut Bateman after a 21.8 week. Somehow it's working.Everyone else
LeaderTommy 10, Logan 7, Ken 6, Dylan 6, Jonny 4, Derek 4, Matthew 3, Nate 1, Sarah 1. Connor and Justin: zero. They're set it and forget it guys.Power Rankings NOT ESPN'S
| 1 | 🏉 Tommy · 2-1 · 429.96 Leads the league in PF by 28 and is 29-4 in all-play. Godfather behavior. |
| 2 | Backshot Brandon Connor · 2-1 · 373.80 23-10 all-play, beat the best team. Should be 3-0 if he sets the Week 2 lineup. |
| 3 | I Don't Know Nate · 1-2 · 401.80 2nd in PF and +26.8/wk over projection. Collins and A.J. Brown are both hurt though. |
| 4 | Njigbas in Paris Jonny · 2-1 · 366.00 JSN is a cheat code. Rest of the roster is TBD. |
| 5 | Better luck next time! Jeremy · 2-1 · 372.50 Gibbs plus a healthy Bowers is scary. The waiver habit is a separate problem. |
| 6 | Mr Steinfeld And Co Justin · 2-1 · 357.84 Allen carried two wins and got let down in the third. |
| 7 | Pookie Nacuie Derek · 3-0 · 335.42 7th in PF, 14-19 all-play, and his opponents average 82.5. Nacua's been out two weeks. |
| 8 | Ceedeez La DD Matthew · 1-2 · 328.44 ▲1 Survived Sarah, Jeremy and Ken. Rank set by the commissioner. Appeals denied. |
| 9 | darn im old Sarah · 2-1 · 332.38 105.5 bench pts. Start Goff. Docked a spot for beating the commish. |
| 10 | OG Token Ken · 1-2 · 321.74 84.4 bench pts. Four QBs rostered, never starts the right one. |
| 11 | Not Irving Trying Dylan · 0-3 · 300.38 Jefferson averaging 15, Daniels sat Week 3, 73.7 left on the bench. |
| 12 | White Guy Logan · 0-3 · 290.92 4-29 in all-play. Lowest PF. Achane: 1.7 last week. Rough. |

Sched. luck = actual wins minus all-play expected wins. Perf. = starters' actual minus ESPN projection, per week. Injuries = est. preseason per-game value of regulars who sat with 0 pts (hurt-since-draft excluded).
Verdict: Derek is the luckiest 3-0 team alive. Nate should be 2‑1.
Storylines We're Watching
- Bordieri Bowl, Week 4: Ken vs. Dylan, father vs. son, 1-5 combined with 158.1 bench points. Someone has to win.
- Matthew finally plays a non-relative: Logan, Week 4. Best friends, 1-5 combined.
- Older siblings: Connor trails Derek, Nate trails Jonny. Only Sarah holds it down.
- Seven self-inflicted losses in three weeks. Ken has two. The commish's one doesn't count.
