@louisnicoletti started Drake Maye over Tyler Shough and lost a game the bench would have won.

The Rundown

Week 3 · from the desk

PICK FLOWERS

@louisnicoletti started Drake Maye over Tyler Shough, and Maye handed out takeaways like party favors. Shough, meanwhile, posted enough on the bench to win by a dime. Somewhere, he's still warming up.

@aaronargyres got every lineup call right, a feat the rest of the league files under folklore. @cdb1919 drew the buzzsaw and is still picking sawdust out of the flex.

@jonraduazzo's entire starting lineup edged @dclark34's bench by less than two points. The bench did it in sweatpants.

Lamar Jackson's last-second drive in Rio went through Zay Flowers, who spent the week on @casebrabham's bench. Even the other team's quarterback trusts Flowers more.

    Even the second receiver was Golden (18.5). The rest of the league is scrap metal.

  4. 4up 4

    Stafford's Staffers

    @alexeldeib 2-1 14-13 all-play

    Two straight 130s after a 75.1 opener. That opener is officially a typo.

    Burrow and two backs cleared 19 apiece. The pass catchers sent regrets.

    Josh Allen ran in two scores and gave it away three times. Balanced, technically.

DARNOLD IT ALL

The big stuff

Biggest domination

@aaronargyres

by 51.44 over cdb1919

Same 114.5 projection going in. Different sports coming out.

Top score

@aaronargyres

152.72 (+38.2 vs proj)

Jalen Hurts threw a Monday night pick, and it didn't even Hurt.

Biggest loser

@jonraduazzoCorey Dylan Clark

72.16 (-32.5 vs proj)

Lowest score, and somehow not the week's worst quarterback call.

Closest game

@dclark34Lamar JacksOff

by 18.62 over casebrabham

Lamar's Rio game ended on a last-second kick. This one had room to spare.

Heartbreaker

@louisnicoletti

lost by 18.94, one swap from winning by 0.10

Shough threw four touchdowns in a Saints loss. The Saints at least played him.

ESPN called it shocking. So was the final score.

Overachiever

@casebrabham

J. Gibbs 37.90, +16.5 vs proj

Scored rushing, scored receiving. Next week, maybe try defense.

Underachiever

@louisnicoletti

D. Maye 5.76, -12.8 vs proj

Jacksonville's Hunter said Maye 'tried me a couple times.' So did @louisnicoletti.

Lucky

@jwalthier

won with the 6th-best score

Saquon's only catch went for minus two yards. First place, regardless.

Unlucky

@casebrabham

lost with the 3rd-best score

Drew Bijan Robinson the week his rent was due.

Big spender

@jonraduazzoCorey Dylan Clark

$19 on T. Tucker, 6.3 pts

Plus $8 on Dalton Schultz (4.5). The budget is officially Tucker'd out.
