Tom Buries Scott in a Blowout
Final score: Tom 145.22, Scott 112.20 — a 33.02-point win.
Player-by-Player Breakdown
QB: Kirk Cousins (22.52) def. Josh Allen (18.30). Tom’s cheaper QB outscoring Scott’s premium $7,500 investment set the tone early.
RB1: James Cook III (24.30) def. Omarion Hampton (7.90). A blowout at the position — more than a 3x gap.
RB2: Kenneth Williams (9.70) def. Bijan Robinson (7.30). A modest win, but Scott’s $8,700 RB investment underperforming the field here stings.
WR1: Tre Tucker (26.70) def. Luther Burden III (17.50). A clean win, and the week’s second-biggest individual score on either roster.
WR2: Kendrick Bourne (9.70) tied Kendrick Bourne (9.70). Both managers rostered the same receiver. A wash.
WR3: Drake London (12.20) lost to Giovani Bernard (25.70). Scott’s lone big win of the day — his cheapest receiver outscoring Tom’s $7,000 WR by more than double.
TE: Tyler Higbee (5.20) lost to Dalton Kincaid (10.80). Another clean Scott win, doubling up Tom’s tight end output.
FLEX: Kenneth Walker III (30.90) def. Brock Bowers (11.00). The single biggest point swing of the entire matchup — nearly a 20-point gap in one roster spot.
DST: Panthers (4.00) tied Panthers (4.00). Same defense, same score, no separation.
The Wrap-Up
Kenneth Walker III’s 30.90 in the flex did the heavy lifting, and Cook’s dominant RB1 week backed it up. Scott’s two wins — Bernard and Kincaid — came from his cheapest pieces, while his two most expensive bets, Allen and Robinson, both lost their matchups outright. That’s not a formula that closes a 33-point gap, and it didn’t.
Ho Hum. Another weeks pick ‘em, another Scott loss.
Maybe we should start penalizing the winner…
