Freaking Maye Out Scores 156.92 With 7.92 From Quarterback

The only tight game of the week, and it came down to two quarterbacks doing everything. Jared Goff's 28.94 was his third 20-point start of the season and The Goff-Father still lost by 3.86, dropping to 0-5 with the league's worst points-against total. Joe Burrow answered with 24.6, his third straight week over 22, and Bayou Bengals rode it to a season-high 97.6 and a second straight win despite David Montgomery turning an 11.86 projection into 1.1.

CeeDee Lamb came in as the second-highest-scoring receiver in the league and posted 1.9, which is a very strange way to be the best player in a win. Malik Nabers' 25.6 covered it and ThrillHouse took it 97.24-85.22, though a 4-9 all-play says this result came with a coupon. Heaven on Earth got 35.8 from Jaylen Warren, got 7.0 total from their receiver spots, and were the one team this week whose best lineup would have won — Blake Corum's 14.7 sat while Tee Higgins managed 3.2.

Drake Maye had not cleared 13 points in a start all season and then handed Wilszn 43.46, more than double his projection, in a 137.24-119.9 win that keeps them 5-0 and alone in first. The Nut did not play badly: Jahmyr Gibbs went for 39.2, his fourth 20-point game in five starts as the league's top running back, and Parker Washington added 29.4. They scored 119.9 and still went home, which is what happens when your opponent's quarterback plays the best game of the week.

Finding Nico blocked Bijan Robinson and his 13.8 out of Mighty Mouse's lineup, and Mighty Mouse responded with a season-high 145.94 and a fourth straight win behind Mike Evans' 24.8 and 23 points from Jason Myers, a kicker outscoring most people's flex. Finding Nico scored 127.98, which beats nine of the other thirteen teams in theory and none of them in practice. Jacoby Brissett was claimed off waivers this week and immediately went for 25.78, and Isaiah Likely's 26.9 was his second 20-plus start — the league's TE2 is doing his part while the schedule mugs them.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba put up 22.3, his fourth 20-point start in five weeks as the league's leading receiver, and SS Minnow Johnson had enough at 113.46. Downs-yndrome's best starter was the Jets defense with 20, a waiver claim made this week that outscored their quarterback and tight end combined. That's two straight losses and a Justin Herbert who still has not reached 20 in any start this season.

KuthaFighters left absolutely nothing on the bench, got 25.5 from George Pickens and 22.5 from Derrick Henry, and won 139.9-111.4. TB12 Method had the league's top quarterback go for 33.5 and lost by 28.5, mostly because their tight end slot produced 0.9 and Roman Wilson posted a zero in a starting spot. Chase Brown has now finished under his projection in a fifth start without once reaching 20.

Bucky Irving had topped 11 points once all season and chose this week for 34.5, Christian Watson added 31.3 to stay the league's WR3, and Freaking Maye Out posted a season-high 156.92 — the biggest score anyone has put up this year — with 7.92 from the quarterback. Whole team bums ran a perfect lineup, scored a season-low 81.34, and lost by 75.58, so there is genuinely nothing to fix. Dalton Kincaid has now gone three straight starts in single digits and Amon-Ra St. Brown three straight under 12, which is a lot of nothing from two guys you drafted to carry you.
