Still In There

Lamar Jackson went on injured reserve this week. He started for Tim anyway — a fourth straight zero — and Tim has 37.80 with two starters left and his own season low of 42.60 in sight. Sean has 118 and is done. Jonathan beat Kevin with 82.46 and 52.5 on his bench. John P. finally started Kirk Cousins, and Bryce Young scored 17.34 on the bench. Sal Bianchi files the halftime report.

Lamar Jackson was placed on injured reserve this week, which on Sleeper means the little red tag changes from O to IR, and the slot locked at 7:15 Thursday night with him still in it. Sean 118.28, Tim 37.80. Jackson 0.0. TreVeyon Henderson, Out again with the illness, 0.0. Brian Thomas, in the same Thursday game as Jackson, 0.0. Brock Bowers 22.3, Quinshon Judkins 5.5, Nick Folk 5.0, the Saints defense 5.0, and that is 37.80 with Rome Odunze and Chris Godwin in the Bucs–Bears game tonight. Tim needs 80.49 from the two of them to catch Sean, and 4.81 to avoid finishing under his own 42.60 from Week 6, the lowest score of the season. Sean is finished: Brock Purdy, back from the bench, 24.28; CeeDee Lamb 33.5; Chris Olave 16.8; Josh Jacobs −0.5, which is a number a running back can post in this league, apparently. Four straight losses are about to end, the 9-7 series is heading for 10-7, and Caleb Williams, benched for Purdy, plays tonight for nobody.

Jonathan 82.46, Kevin 60.48. Final. Nobody on either side had a starter tonight or Monday, so this one is in the book: Jonathan is 7-2, two games clear in the Magic Castle, with his 112th regular-season win and the series at 13-4. It is also his lowest score of the season — Tucker Kraft 1.9, Jayden Daniels 10.56, Smith-Njigba 12.1 — and he left 52.5 on his bench, including Denzel Boston 15.8, Audric Estime 14.7 (signed Saturday afternoon), Seth McGowan 11.2 and Xavier Worthy 10.8, against Emmett Johnson 9.4 and Dylan Sampson 7.8 in the lineup. It did not matter. Kevin scored 60.48, his own season low: MarShawn Lloyd, in for Jaylen Warren’s bye, 0.0, and now listed Out with a knee; Jaylen Waddle 3.2 in the flex; Malik Washington 4.1; Jake Ferguson 10.1 on the bench behind Hunter Henry’s 6.5. Kevin is 5-4, and 82.46 is the third-lowest winning score of the season.

Timothy 123.50, Owen 99.28. Also decided — Owen is finished and Timothy has Emeka Egbuka tonight with a 24.22 lead. Matthew Golden 32.4, Bijan Robinson 25.7, Cam Little 15.0 — signed Thursday evening to replace Chris Boswell’s bye — and Jordan Love 33.18 on the bench behind Dak Prescott’s 16.5. That’s three straight weeks the quarterback on Timothy’s bench out-scored the one in his lineup: Dak over Love, Love over Dak, Love over Dak. Owen scored 99.28, his third-best of the year, and lost: Javonte Williams 22.4, Fairbairn 16.0, the Rams defense 14, Penix 13.48, Nico Collins 15.5. Tyler Allgeier, promoted after 36.1 from the bench last week, scored 6.6 in the lineup; Tank Dell scored 19.5 and DeMario Douglas 15.2 on the bench; Pat Freiermuth, on the Steelers’ bye, stayed in at tight end for 0.0. The level series goes to 10-9 Timothy, who is 5-4. Owen is 2-7.

John E. 115.08, Anthony 68.46. Ja’Marr Chase 31.5, Jonah Coleman 18.8, Spencer Shrader 15.0, Trevor Lawrence 15.58 on Thursday, and Trey McBride — moved from the bench into the lineup since the preview — 11.4. John E. has Luther Burden tonight and DJ Moore on Monday, and 65.3 on his bench, the most in the league: Omar Cooper 13.8, Tyler Shough 12.7, Makai Lemon 12.1, Jadarian Price 11.8. Anthony has Justin Jefferson on Monday night and needs 46.63 net. Breece Hall, started over Braelon Allen, 11.7; Mike Gesicki, won Thursday, 3.1, with Dallas Goedert scoring 10.0 on the bench; Chad Ryland, also won Thursday, 3.0; the Raiders defense 2. The market’s old No. 1 is about to lose to the market’s new No. 1 for the fourth time in seventeen tries, and John E. — 0-5 on October 13 — would be 4-5 with four straight.

mike 102.02, Nick 72.70. Puka Nacua 35.0, Isaiah Likely 16.3, the Texans defense 12 — seventh defense, first week, twelve points. George Pickens was ruled Out with a hamstring and mike signed Demarcus Robinson at 7:38 this morning, releasing Keon Coleman; Robinson scored 5.2. mike has Bucky Irving tonight; Nick has D’Andre Swift tonight and Tyler Bass on Monday and needs 29.33 net. Nick fixed both bye slots — Christian McCaffrey 22.7, Josh Downs 5.4 — and KC Concepcion scored 18.8 in the flex, but Jared Goff scored 2.3, the Falcons defense scored 1 with the 49ers defense scoring 17 on his bench, and Darren Waller scored 23.0 on the bench behind Tyler Warren’s 8.4. Nick has 48.0 on the bench. A mike win is six straight and puts the series at 11-10 Nick.

Michael 81.78, John P. 71.94. The one that’s open. John P. benched Bryce Young for Kirk Cousins this week, after four weeks of Cousins out-scoring Young from the bench, and Young scored 17.34 on the bench to Cousins’ 11.64. Woody Marks 8.4 in the flex, Jahmyr Gibbs 13.4, Rashee Rice 9.9. He has the Buccaneers defense tonight and needs 9.85 net. Michael has James Cook, Will Reichard and the Vikings defense in Minnesota on Monday night, Kenneth Walker’s 36.3 — the top line in the league so far this week — and Davante Adams, on injured reserve, in the lineup for a third straight week, 0.0. The series is 11-6 John P.

Jeff 76.78, Josh 63.54. Seven starters still to play between them. Jeff has Josh Allen, Aaron Jones and Dalton Kincaid — Kincaid in the flex for Tony Pollard’s bye — all in Minneapolis on Monday; Christian Watson scored 30.1, Travis Kelce 17.3, the Patriots defense 0.0. Josh has Colston Loveland, the Bears defense he signed Thursday night (releasing Aaron Rodgers) and Chase McLaughlin tonight and T.J. Hockenson on Monday, and needs 13.25 net. Joe Burrow 27.54 and Tee Higgins 20.2; Ladd McConkey, in for Carnell Tate, 0.0. A Josh win is his 100th. The series is 8-6 Josh.
