Week 1 “Beat Scott” DFS results - 9/14/2026
Week 1 Showdown
The first battle of the Tom vs. Scott DFS rivalry is officially in the books, and let's not bury the lede — Tom didn't just win, he made it look easy.
Final score: Tom 191.10, Scott 161.44 — a 29.66-point beatdown.
Position-by-Position Breakdown
QB — Tyler Shough (29.20) def. Jared Goff (16.44): Tom nearly doubled Scott's quarterback output. Goff managed a quiet 16.44 in a game his own team won 31-30 — somehow the least impressive stat line of the entire slate.
RB1 — De'Von Achane (10.60) lost to D'Andre Swift (35.40): The one real bright spot for Scott all day. Swift caught fire in Chicago's 59-37 explosion, and there was nothing Tom could do about it. Credit where it's due — Scott actually won a matchup.
RB2 — Jahmyr Gibbs (37.60) def. Bucky Irving (21.30): Gibbs was the best player on the entire field today, and Tom had the foresight to roster him. This is the kind of pick that wins seasons, not just weeks.
WR1 — Chris Olave (31.20) def. Ladd McConkey (19.20): Another clean Tom win, and another reminder that stacking the Saints offense was the right call this week.
WR2 — Jalen Coker (36.80) def. A. St. Brown (28.70): This is the one that should really sting for Scott — he paid up big for a premium name in St. Brown, and Tom's $4,600 value pick outscored him anyway. That's not luck, that's lineup construction.
WR3 — Adani Mitchell (9.00) lost to Tetairoa McMillan (11.50): A minor win for Scott, though "minor" is doing a lot of work in that sentence given everything else that happened today.
TE — Juwan Johnson (14.40) tied Juwan Johnson (14.40): Both managers rostered the exact same tight end. A rare moment of complete agreement in an otherwise one-sided affair.
FLEX — Omarion Hampton (9.30) def. Jameson Williams (8.50): A narrow edge, but an edge nonetheless. Tom's disciplined, matchup-conscious build paid off in the margins too.
DST — Jaguars (13.00) def. Ravens (6.00): Even the streaming defense pick worked out for Tom. At this point it's almost unfair.
