Week 3 Highlights

Week 3 • Final results

Week 3 is complete. Yahoo scores, starters, and benches verified September 29. Results remain subject to stat corrections through October 1. Upsets use Yahoo's final displayed original projections, which can differ from the earlier preview.

Closest Matchup

The Commish finally gets a win. Gotham leaves the winning move on the bench.

Silence of the Lamb survives by 11.04

Matchup
Tylor C vs. Jason H
Final score
Tylor 123.14 • Jason 112.10
Winning margin
11.04 points

Drake London (31.40), CeeDee Lamb (23.20), and Spencer Shrader (19.70) helped Tylor survive Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 38.36 for Gotham. Jason had a winning swap available: Terry McLaurin's 19.70 instead of Rashod Bateman's 5.70 would have lifted him to 126.10—a 2.96-point win. Tylor gets the actual W; Jason gets the hypothetical one.

Biggest Upset

The Swami picked Slim Pickens. Chris brought the rebuttal.

Chris crashes the forecast

Yahoo's final displayed original projections
Chris 123.32 • Slim Pickens 126.94
Final score
Chris 141.32 • Jason B 119.44
Underdog deficit
3.62 projected points

Chris was the only winning underdog in Yahoo's final displayed original projections. A 3.62-point projected loss became a 21.88-point win—a 25.50-point swing. Ja'Marr Chase (24.80), Harold Fannin Jr. (24.10), Christian Watson (22.60), and Rashee Rice (15.80) did the heavy lifting. Daniel also beat the Swami's West Coast pick, but Yahoo's final displayed projections had Daniel narrowly favored, 105.98–105.67.

Worst Bench Decision

A first win does not make the bench decisions immune to review.

Darnold watches 18.92 points go missing

Owner & benched player
Tylor C • Sam Darnold
Bench vs. starter
Darnold 32.66 • Justin Herbert 13.74
Missed points from one eligible swap
18.92 points

Starting Darnold would have raised Tylor's total from 123.14 to 142.06 and turned the narrowest win of the week into a 29.96-point cushion. This was the largest single eligible bench-to-starter upgrade across all 12 rosters. Chris was next: Geno Smith's 29.04 over Kyler Murray's 11.42 would have added 17.62. Both managers won anyway; the bench still deserves a mention.

The points you left behind

Team Performance

All weeks • 2026

All weeks combines actual points and best possible points from every completed week. Overall efficiency is total actual points divided by total possible points, not an average of weekly percentages.

Actual points versus your best possible lineup using that week's starters and bench. Maximum points fill 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 W/R/T flex, 1 K, and 1 DEF, with each player used once. IR and free agents are excluded; required slots stay filled even when a player scores negative points. This is a hindsight lineup comparison, not a projection.

Week 2 Highlights

Week 2 • Final results

Week 2 is complete. Scores, original projections, starters, and benches verified on Yahoo September 22. Stat corrections may apply through September 24.

Closest Matchup

The Commish picked himself. Dillon had other plans.

Dillon escapes by 4.66

Matchup
Dillon’s Team vs. Silence of the Lamb
Final score
Dillon 112.24 • Tylor 107.58
Winning margin
4.66 points

CeeDee Lamb's 38.30 kept Tylor in it, but James Cook III (23.90), George Kittle (18.00), and Chase McLaughlin (17.60) helped Dillon survive even with DJ Moore at minus 0.10. Starting Xavier Worthy (13.50) over Javonte Williams (8.00) in the flex would have flipped the result: Tylor 113.08, Dillon 112.24. Silence of the Lamb is the team previously named Grim Reaper.

Biggest Upset

A tiny projected disadvantage turned into a massive win.

Slim Pickens runs away with it

Yahoo's original projections
Slim Pickens 122.96 • West Coast 123.67
Final score
Slim Pickens 156.36 • West Coast 97.28
Underdog deficit
0.71 projected points

This was the only winning underdog in Yahoo's displayed original projections this week. Jason turned a 0.71-point projected deficit into a 59.08-point win. Davante Adams erupted for 42.50, Dak Prescott added 29.76, and Jonathan Taylor put up 29.20. It was also the week's highest team score, edging Brett's 152.98 by 3.38.

Worst Bench Decision

Nick’s better quarterback watched from the bench.

Shough outscored Dart by 21.58

Owner & benched player
Nick N • Tyler Shough
Bench vs. starter
Shough 22.38 • Jaxson Dart 0.80
Missed points from one eligible swap
21.58 points

The largest single eligible bench-to-starter upgrade belonged to Beast Infection. Shough over Dart would have raised Nick from 72.10 to 93.68, still short of Chris's 112.02. The full optimal lineup tells a different story: 116.78 possible points, enough to win. Dillon gets the runner-up bench blunder: Denzel Boston's 20.50 instead of DJ Moore's minus 0.10 would have added 20.60.

Week 1 Highlights

Week 1 • Final results

Week 1 is complete. These highlights use Yahoo's final scores and displayed original projections. Results and season-award standings remain subject to stat corrections.

Closest Matchup

Chris had Rashee Rice on Monday night. Brett had just enough breathing room.

Brett survives by 1.48

Matchup
Chris M vs. Brett D
Final score
Brett 163.04 • Chris 161.56
Winning margin
Brett wins by 1.48

The week's two highest-scoring teams drew each other. Caleb Williams (37.26), D'Andre Swift (35.40), and Christian Watson (35.70) kept Chris alive, while Jahmyr Gibbs (36.60) and Chris Olave (31.20) helped Brett reach 163.04. Rice added 9.90 on Monday, leaving Chris 1.48 short. Brett walks away with the win and the first weekly high-score award; Chris gets the league's most frustrating loss.

Biggest Upset

Mickey was projected more than 23 points behind Tylor. His lineup had other plans.

Overdue Bills comes due

Upset winner
Mickey B • Overdue Bills
Opponent & final score
Mickey 157.16 • Tylor 141.46
Yahoo's displayed original projections
Mickey 96.67 • Tylor 120.03
Mickey was projected 23.36 points behind

Josh Allen (38.66) and Jalen Coker (36.80) combined for 75.46 as Mickey turned a projected loss into a 15.70-point win. Nick deserves a mention for beating Dusty 153.40–95.62. Yahoo's final displayed original projections put Nick 23.28 points behind, narrowly less than Mickey's 23.36-point disadvantage. That changes the provisional upset pick from Nick to Mickey.

Worst Bench Decision

Jason Harle got the win on the scoreboard. His bench still has a complaint.

Montgomery had a front-row seat

Owner & benched player
Jason H • David Montgomery
Bench points vs. flex starter
Montgomery 28.90
Terry McLaurin 3.40
Missed points from one eligible swap
25.50 points

Montgomery scored three touchdowns on Jason's bench. Starting him in the W/R/T slot instead of McLaurin would have lifted Gotham Knights from 121.46 to 146.96. Jason still finished ahead of Dillon's 94.86, so it cost bragging rights rather than the win. After checking Monday's bench performances, this remains the week's largest single eligible bench-to-starter improvement: 25.50 points.
