Where you stand
Week 4 FINAL - LordHaveMRSA 95.36, The Daddies 79.50
Your first win of 2026. It was locked by Sunday night; neither roster had a player in Monday's game, so nothing that happened last night changed it. You are 1-3.
The honest version: you are 11th of 12 in points scored
366.86 points through four weeks. Only WhoottieBoys (302.30) has scored less, and they are 0-4. You have also had the fourth-toughest schedule by points allowed - 450.52 scored against you - so the record is not purely self-inflicted. But your lineup efficiency is 81.5% (366.86 actual against 450.16 possible), third-worst in the league. Two of those three losses were winnable with the players already on your roster.
Week 5 opponent: UndisputedGiant, 4-0
The best team in the league by a wide margin. 548.36 points in four weeks, including 168.72 last week - the highest single-week score anyone has posted. Their Week 5 lineup is Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) at quarterback, Christian McCaffrey (San Francisco 49ers) and Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints) at running back, CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys) and Davante Adams (Los Angeles Rams) at wide receiver, Isaiah Likely (New York Giants) at tight end and DK Metcalf (Pittsburgh Steelers) in the flex. You will need 120 points, not 95.
Monday night - the only game since yesterday's report
Brian Robinson Jr. (Atlanta Falcons) - 25.70 points, BENCHED
Fourteen carries for 62 yards and three touchdowns, plus one catch for five yards. Atlanta scored on nearly every trip inside the ten and Robinson got all of them. Read the carries, though, because they matter for Week 5: Bijan Robinson (Atlanta Falcons) had 19 carries for 145 yards and two scores of his own. Robinson Jr. is the goal-line back, not the lead back - his 25.70 was built almost entirely on three touchdowns, and a week where Atlanta does not reach the end zone four times makes him a 9-point player. He is still far better than what you actually started.
Nobody else on your roster played
No starter of yours and no opponent starter was in the Atlanta-New Orleans game, so the Week 4 scoreboard did not move overnight. That is the one piece of good news about having benched him.
Atlanta Falcons 45, New Orleans Saints 24. One player of yours was in it and he was on your bench.
Week 4 bench review - 66.6 points left behind
| You started | Pts | Better option on your bench | Pts | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Geno Smith (New York Jets) at QB | 8.76 | Drake Maye (New England Patriots), QB | 27.16 | -18.40 |
| Jauan Jennings (Minnesota Vikings) at WR | 1.80 | Keon Coleman (Buffalo Bills), WR | 23.60 | -21.80 |
| DJ Moore (Buffalo Bills) in FLEX | 2.70 | Brian Robinson Jr. (Atlanta Falcons), RB | 25.70 | -23.00 |
| Cam Skattebo (New York Giants) at RB | 7.60 | Xavier Worthy (Kansas City Chiefs), WR - flex-eligible | 11.00 | -3.40 |
Your best possible Week 4 lineup scored 161.96. You scored 95.36. That is the largest single-week gap of your season, and the first three rows below were decidable before kickoff. Across four weeks your optimal lineups total 450.16 against your actual 366.86 - 83.30 points thrown away, roughly a win and a half. The last row is a flex swap rather than a same-position one; the other three are straight position-for-position misses.

Your Week 5 lineup - fix it before Thursday 8:15 PM
| Slot | Start this | Instead of | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Drake Maye (New England Patriots) | Geno Smith (New York Jets) | 13.7 per game against Geno Smith's 8.8, and Maye hosts the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at 1:00 PM. Upgrade to Kirk Cousins if you win the claim below. |
| RB | Kyren Williams (Los Angeles Rams) | - no change - | 22.4 per game and 36.70 last week. Your best player. Monday night, Oct 12, at home against Buffalo. |
| RB | Cam Skattebo (New York Giants) | - no change - | 11.1 per game. Sunday 1:00 PM at Washington. Not exciting, but he plays every week. |
| WR | Keon Coleman (Buffalo Bills) | Jauan Jennings (Minnesota Vikings) | Coleman went 23.60 last week and is the most-added player in all of fantasy football over the past 48 hours. Jennings gave you 1.80. This is not close. |
| WR | Puka Nacua (Los Angeles Rams) | - no change - | 27.70 last week after two zeroes. Volatile, but the ceiling is the highest on your roster. |
| TE | Trey McBride (Arizona Cardinals) | - no change - | 17.3 per game, best tight end you could ask for. Sunday 4:25 PM against Detroit. |
| FLEX | Brian Robinson Jr. (Atlanta Falcons) | DJ Moore (Buffalo Bills) | Moore is DOUBTFUL with a shoulder he re-aggravated in Week 4 - do not leave a doubtful player in your lineup, especially one whose game is Monday night. Robinson Jr. plays Sunday 8:20 PM against Baltimore. |
Four changes. Three of them are the same changes you needed last week.
Waiver claims - you have $59 of FAAB left
| Player | Why | Bid |
|---|---|---|
| Kirk Cousins (Las Vegas Raiders, QB) | 15.8, 21.2, 22.2, 23.6 - three straight weeks over 21, 100% of Las Vegas's offensive snaps (snap share is the percentage of his team's offensive plays he was on the field for). Your quarterback slot has produced 8.76 and 13.7 per game. This single move is worth about seven points a week for the rest of the season, and Las Vegas is at New England on Sunday at 1:00 PM. | $22 |
| Roman Wilson (Pittsburgh Steelers, WR) | 15.0 and 16.4 the last two weeks on 24 targets for the season and a 51% snap share. He is your replacement for Jauan Jennings on the roster, not just in the lineup. Pittsburgh hosts Indianapolis on Sunday at 1:00 PM. | $9 |
| Aaron Rodgers (Pittsburgh Steelers, QB) | Only if you lose the Cousins claim. 23.68 and 23.96 the last two weeks, 99% snap share. Same upgrade, cheaper, slightly shakier floor. | $8 |
| T.J. Hockenson (Minnesota Vikings, TE) | Unowned and averaging 11.9 per game with 26 targets - a genuine mistake by the league. You do not need him, because Trey McBride is better. Mentioned only so you know he is there if McBride gets hurt. | pass |
FAAB is your $100 season-long bidding budget for waiver pickups. You have spent $41 and have $59 left, which is above the league median. Your waiver tiebreaker position is 9th of 12, so do not bid round numbers - a tie at $20 loses to almost everyone. At 1-3 you cannot afford to hoard this money until Week 10.
Who to drop to make room
Jauan Jennings (Minnesota Vikings, WR) is the obvious cut - 1.80 points in his only active week and he is behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in Minnesota's target order. Xavier Hutchinson (Houston Texans, WR) at 8.1 per game is the second candidate if you want two roster spots. Keep Xavier Worthy (Kansas City Chiefs, WR) through his bye week; he is 8.3 per game but Kansas City's passing volume makes him a buy-low, not a drop.
Injuries, byes and the calendar
DJ Moore (Buffalo Bills) - DOUBTFUL, shoulder
He aggravated the shoulder in Buffalo's Week 4 game against New England. Doubtful means he is very unlikely to play. He is currently in your flex slot and Buffalo does not play until Monday night, October 12 - so if you leave him there and he is ruled out, you are stuck with a zero and no way to replace it. Move him to the bench now.
Xavier Worthy (Kansas City Chiefs) - BYE WEEK
Kansas City and the Carolina Panthers are the two teams on bye in Week 5. A bye week is the one week each team does not play. Worthy is your only player affected; he is already on your bench, so nothing to do.
Everyone else is clean
No other player on your roster carries an injury designation. Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, Trey McBride, Cam Skattebo, Drake Maye, Keon Coleman, Brian Robinson Jr., Chris Godwin, Cooper Kupp, Geno Smith, Xavier Hutchinson and Jauan Jennings are all listed healthy as of Tuesday morning.
Next kickoff: Thursday, October 8, 8:15 PM ET - Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys
Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) is your only player in it, averaging 7.9 per game. Leave him benched - there is nobody he beats out. But your lineup locks player by player, so make the four swaps above before Thursday night rather than waiting for Sunday.
The one you do not own
Michael Penix Jr. (Atlanta Falcons, QB) - free agent
Fifteen of twenty for 223 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 45-point blowout, and he is unowned in your league. His scoring profile, 15.04 and 12.72 in his two starts, is not good enough to displace Kirk Cousins as your claim - it is a reminder that quarterback is the one position where your league is leaving real production on the table and you should be first in line for it.
Jahan Dotson (Atlanta Falcons, WR) - free agent, 13.40 Monday
Two catches for 54 yards and a touchdown, unowned. One game does not make a player - he had 2.9, 3.1 and 2.1 in the three weeks before this. Not a claim, just a name to keep on the watch list while Atlanta is scoring 45.
