Player-by-Player Breakdown
QB: Jordan Love (17.96) def. Bryce Young (8.42). Tom got the 32nd-ranked defense and used it. Young’s Buccaneers scored 43 points, and he still managed only 8.42.
RB1: Bijan Robinson (17.20) tied Bijan Robinson (17.20). Both managers rostered him, so this spot canceled out.
RB2: Christian McCaffrey (22.00) def. Jonathan Taylor (19.00). Scott paid $8,000 for Taylor against the 1st-ranked defense, and he still scored a respectable 19.00. McCaffrey scored 3 more for $400 less.
WR1: Amon-Ra St. Brown (27.20) def. Jalen Coker (1.90). This is where the week was decided. Coker’s team scored 43 points, and he caught almost none of it. Scott paid $6,100 for 1.90 points.
WR2: Matthew Golden (9.90) tied Matthew Golden (9.90). Same player, same quiet day.
WR3: T. Hurst III (0.00) lost to Ja’Kobi Lane (5.50). Tom’s $3,000 gamble went to zero. Scott won this one by 5.50, so enjoy it, Scott.
TE: Tucker Kraft (14.80) def. Sam LaPorta (2.80). Another big gap. LaPorta, in the 5th-ranked matchup, was a bust.
FLEX: Tyler Higbee (3.40) lost to Tucker Kraft (14.80). This was Scott’s other win. He put Kraft at flex, and Tom had him at tight end. Kraft scored 14.80 in both lineups, but Tom got the points at the position where they mattered more.
DST: Titans (5.00) tied Titans (5.00). Same defense, same 5.00.
