Kyren Williams
36.70 pts
16 carries, 80 yards, 2 touchdowns, plus 10 catches on 13 targets for 67 yards. Your whole week.
You won. Week 4 is mathematically over and LordHaveMRSA takes it 95.36 to 79.50 - the first win of the season. You also left 48.50 points on your bench doing it, which is the actual story.
LordHaveMRSA
95.36
The Daddies
79.50
Decided. Every player on The Daddies' roster has finished - nobody of theirs is in tonight's New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons game. Your only man left is Brian Robinson Jr. (Atlanta Falcons), and he is on your bench, so he cannot add to your total. Record goes to 1-3.
Drake Maye
27.16 pts - BENCHED
269 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, 54 rushing yards. He outscored your starting quarterback by 18.40.
Jauan Jennings
1.80 pts
One target. One catch. Eight yards. The worst start on your roster, in a game Minnesota won.
Where the matchup stands
Final: LordHaveMRSA 95.36, The Daddies 79.50. The margin is 15.86 and it cannot change. Andre35's roster has no New Orleans Saints or Atlanta Falcons players, so tonight's 8:15 PM US Eastern Monday night game cannot move his total. Your Brian Robinson Jr. (Atlanta Falcons) plays tonight but sits on your bench, where points do not count.
That drops you to 1-3 and lifts you off the bottom of the standings. For context, your 271.50 points scored through three weeks was 11th of 12 - this week's 95.36 is a step up but still roughly league-average. The win matters more than the score: at 1-3 with six playoff spots available, you are not buried.
Your starters, one by one
Kyren Williams (Los Angeles Rams), Running Back - 36.70 points
Enormous. 16 carries for 80 yards and two touchdowns, then 10 receptions on 13 targets for another 67. Thirteen targets is a wide receiver's workload - he was the Rams' pass-catching outlet all afternoon in a 24-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. This is the best game anyone on your roster has had all year and roughly double a normal week for him.
Puka Nacua (Los Angeles Rams), Wide Receiver - 27.70 points
Nine catches on twelve targets for 125 yards and a rushing touchdown. Exactly the ceiling game you drafted him for, and he and Kyren Williams combined for 64.40 of your 95.36 - two thirds of your output from one offense.
Trey McBride (Arizona Cardinals), Tight End - 10.10 points
Twelve targets, seven catches - and only 31 yards. That is 4.4 yards per catch, which means he was being used as a safety valve on short throws while the Cardinals lost 36-24 to the New York Giants. The volume is reassuring, the yardage is not. Still a top-five week at the position in full PPR scoring, where every catch is worth a point.
Geno Smith (New York Jets), Quarterback - 8.76 points
Bad. 8-of-15 for 119 yards, one touchdown, sacked three times in a 23-12 loss to the Chicago Bears. Fifteen attempts is a quarterback whose team quit throwing. Under 9 points from the quarterback slot is close to unstartable, and you had a 27-point quarterback on your bench while it happened.
Cam Skattebo (New York Giants), Running Back - 7.60 points
Eighteen carries for 58 yards - 3.2 per attempt - and a single target. The Giants scored 36 points and he got nothing out of it, no touchdown and no work in the passing game. The volume keeps him startable; the efficiency is a problem.
DJ Moore (Buffalo Bills), Wide Receiver, FLEX - 2.70 points
He left the Buffalo Bills' 29-26 loss to the New England Patriots with a shoulder injury after one catch for 11 yards on two targets, plus a 6-yard carry. Not a judgment of his talent, but a dead flex slot - the extra starting spot that takes any running back, receiver or tight end.
Jauan Jennings (Minnesota Vikings), Wide Receiver - 1.80 points
One target in a game his team won. One. For scale, T.J. Hockenson (Minnesota Vikings) caught thirteen passes in that same game - Jennings is not part of this offense in any meaningful way. He is the single most trending add in fantasy football right now across all leagues, which tells you how many managers are chasing a role he does not have. Drop-worthy.
The bench outscored the lineup, badly
| Started | Points | Should have started | Points | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Geno Smith (New York Jets), QB | 8.76 | Drake Maye (New England Patriots), QB | 27.16 | -18.40 |
| Jauan Jennings (Minnesota Vikings), WR | 1.80 | Keon Coleman (Buffalo Bills), WR | 23.60 | -21.80 |
| DJ Moore (Buffalo Bills), FLEX | 2.70 | Xavier Worthy (Kansas City Chiefs), WR | 11.00 | -8.30 |
| (also beat your starters) | Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), WR 9.10; Xavier Hutchinson (Houston Texans), WR 7.60 |
Fix the quarterback slot and never look at it again
Drake Maye (New England Patriots) has outscored Geno Smith (New York Jets) and it is not close. Maye ran for 54 yards on eight carries on top of three passing touchdowns - rushing production is what separates a startable fantasy quarterback from a replaceable one, and Smith has none. Start Maye in Week 5 and every week after. There is no decision here.
Keon Coleman (Buffalo Bills) is now a starter, not a bench stash
Six catches on seven targets for 116 yards and a touchdown - 23.60 points - because DJ Moore (Buffalo Bills) went down with the shoulder. He is rostered in only about 4% of leagues league-wide, which is what makes the rest of the field's reaction irrelevant: you already own him. If Moore misses Week 5, Coleman is a top-24 receiver play. If Moore plays, Coleman is still the better bet than Jauan Jennings (Minnesota Vikings) or Cooper Kupp (Seattle Seahawks).
Five bench players outscored a starter at the same position. Your perfect lineup was 143.86 points. You started 95.36. That is 48.50 points left on the bench - more than half your score again.
Injuries and roster health
DJ Moore (Buffalo Bills) - shoulder, Questionable
He aggravated an existing shoulder problem Sunday and did not return. ESPN reports it is not considered long-term and he is not expected to miss significant time, but his Week 5 availability against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, October 12 is genuinely unsettled. Watch Buffalo's Wednesday and Thursday practice reports. Do not plan a lineup around him; plan around Keon Coleman (Buffalo Bills) instead and let Moore be the bonus.
Everyone else on your roster is listed Active
No other injury designation on any of your fourteen players as of this morning. Trey McBride (Arizona Cardinals), Kyren Williams (Los Angeles Rams), Puka Nacua (Los Angeles Rams), Cam Skattebo (New York Giants) and Drake Maye (New England Patriots) all came out of Week 4 clean.
Bye weeks ahead - Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers are off in Week 5
That costs you Xavier Worthy (Kansas City Chiefs) for Week 5. It is also the one real argument against the waiver target below. No other Week 5 bye touches your roster.
Waivers - the one he does not own
| Player | Why | Bid |
|---|---|---|
| T.J. Hockenson (Minnesota Vikings), Tight End | The monster game nobody in your league claimed: 13 catches on 13 targets for 119 yards, 24.90 points - second-highest tight end week in football. Unowned in a 12-team league, which is an outright mistake by the other eleven managers. You have Trey McBride (Arizona Cardinals), so this is not need - it is denying a rival a weekly starter and giving you a real trade chip. | $14-18 |
| Tyquan Thornton (Kansas City Chiefs), Wide Receiver | Highest-scoring unowned player in Week 4: five catches on eight targets, 111 yards, two touchdowns, 28.10 points. The catch is the Kansas City Chiefs are on bye in Week 5, so he cannot help you this week - and a bye-week add is exactly the kind of claim that gets sniped off you next Wednesday instead. Bid only if you skip Hockenson. | $8-11 |
| Roman Wilson (Pittsburgh Steelers), Wide Receiver | 134 yards and two touchdowns over the last two weeks, 16.40 points Sunday on three catches for 74 yards and a score. Trending hard across the industry. Cheap flier, not a priority - you are already seven receivers deep in mediocrity. | $3-5 |
| Running back - nothing worth having | Reported honestly: the best unowned running back in this league scored 11.60 points (Kimani Vidal, Los Angeles Chargers). After that it is Jaleel McLaughlin (Cleveland Browns) at 8.80 and Austin Ekeler (Washington Commanders) at 5.00 on four carries. Your running back depth problem is not solvable on waivers this week. It is solvable by trade. | pass |
Drop candidate: Jauan Jennings (Minnesota Vikings)
One target in a win. He is the roster spot you spend on Hockenson. Cooper Kupp (Seattle Seahawks) at 2.30 points on two targets is the next one out the door after him.
Waivers in this league run on FAAB, the $100 season-long budget you bid against. You have spent $41, leaving $59 for the next nine weeks. Waivers process Wednesday.
Week 5 - the calls coming at you
| Slot | Player | Status |
|---|---|---|
| QB | Drake Maye (New England Patriots) | Lock. Las Vegas Raiders at New England Patriots, Sunday 1:00 PM |
| RB | Kyren Williams (Los Angeles Rams) | Lock. Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Rams, Monday 8:15 PM |
| RB | Cam Skattebo (New York Giants) | Start by default. New York Giants at Washington Commanders, Sunday 1:00 PM |
| WR | Puka Nacua (Los Angeles Rams) | Lock. Monday 8:15 PM |
| WR | Keon Coleman (Buffalo Bills) | Start unless DJ Moore practices fully. Monday 8:15 PM |
| TE | Trey McBride (Arizona Cardinals) | Lock. Detroit Lions at Arizona Cardinals, Sunday 4:25 PM |
| FLEX | Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) or Xavier Hutchinson (Houston Texans) | Real decision. Godwin plays Thursday, so you must choose before Thursday 8:15 PM |
| BENCH | Xavier Worthy (Kansas City Chiefs) | Bye week - unusable |
| BENCH | Geno Smith (New York Jets) | Droppable once Maye is locked in |
| BENCH | Brian Robinson Jr. (Atlanta Falcons) | Handcuff only - the backup running back who inherits the job if Bijan Robinson (Atlanta Falcons) gets hurt |
The one call that matters: your flex spot
Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) caught six of seven targets Sunday but for only 31 yards - heavy volume, zero ceiling. Xavier Hutchinson (Houston Texans) went three for 46 on five targets. Neither is exciting. Godwin plays Thursday night, so if you want him you must decide first and you lose all flexibility; Hutchinson plays Sunday at 1:00 PM and keeps your options open. Lean Hutchinson unless Godwin's target share jumps on Thursday - Godwin's six catches came on short throws in a loss and that is his profile right now.
Bigger picture at 1-3
You have one elite running back, one elite receiver, a now-solved quarterback slot, a fine tight end, and then five interchangeable mediocre receivers taking up bench space. That is a roster shape you fix by trade, not by waivers - package two of the receiver pile for a second real running back before the Week 13 deadline. Six of twelve teams make the playoffs and you are two games out of sixth. This is recoverable, but not by starting Geno Smith again.
First kickoff is Thursday, October 8 at 8:15 PM US Eastern, Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys - that is the deadline for anything involving Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers). Note that both Los Angeles Rams and both Buffalo Bills on your roster play Monday, October 12, so four of your likely starters will not have played when Sunday ends.
