Marcus strolled into Week 8 looking like a reigning champ should, dropping 116.2 on Frost behind a monster night from Brock Bowers (28.2) and a Jahmyr Gibbs masterclass (26.8), with Jaylen Warren chipping in 23.3 for good measure. The only blemish was Lamar…

Both of these squads are nursing Week 8 hangovers. Frost's Trap House put up 93.6 and still lost to Marcus 116.2, with Puka Nacua going nuclear for 25.0 and Jaylen Waddle chipping in 14.9, but Drake London no-showed with a brutal 1.8 on an 18.7 projection.…

Crock rolled into Week 9 fresh off a 125.4 beatdown of Dez, and the engine behind it is still humming. Harold Fannin Jr. torched everybody for 25.4, Dak Prescott cruised to 21.8, and Christian Watson chipped in 19.3 — all three are locked back into the lineup…

Two straight losers collide, and somebody's skid finally has to end. Dez got torched 92.5-125.4 by Crock last week despite Jaxon Smith-Njigba going off for 25.8 and Jayden Daniels chipping in 17.0, because Javonte Williams no-showed a 20.9-point projection…

Crawf rolls into Week 9 riding a 178.2-157.5 beatdown of Devion, and it was a run-game clinic — Bhayshul Tuten exploded for 31.9, Braelon Allen chipped in 25.3, and Jonah Coleman added 20.4, with Trevor Lawrence tossing in a tidy 25.4 of his own. The only…
