El Tri Fantasy Football, Week 3 Power Rankings

Jaxon Smith-Njigba went for 30.36, Harold Fannin Jr. turned a 7.72 projection into 20.60, and Juwan Johnson added 19.30 off a 7.40 projection. The final was 143.60 to 79.84. The one blemish: his Eagles D/ST scored negative 1.00, the kind of number that usually sends Eric into a monologue about why these things only happen to him. He also started Xavier Worthy for 3.00 with Jakobi Meyers and 15.90 on the bench, his worst call of the season. Nobody in the league has scored more than his 410.36. Drew and Omeed's Snakes visit next, and 410 points says they should be scared.

Mickle finally ran a perfect lineup. One hundred percent efficiency, nothing on the bench worth more than what he started, and 140.08 points that buried Jason by 60.50. Spencer Shrader kicked 17.00 against an 8.41 projection, George Kittle posted 23.20, and Tee Higgins added 18.00 on a 10.45 projection. The man whose team is named after Courtland Sutton has now benched Courtland Sutton, which counts as growth. His $40 of drafted money sitting out of today's lineup is a separate conversation. His 95.74% season efficiency leads the league against the hindsight-best lineup. Bryan Ding's Jamo to the Dome is next, a team Mike's accounts have gone 2-1 against since joining last season.

The wheel landed on zero. Chase Brown 7.90 against a 14.62 projection, Omarion Hampton 5.60 against 13.85, Jalen Coker 2.80 against 11.13. Brock Purdy did his part with 31.28 and it still wasn't enough, and Max won by 17.58. Daniel remains the least active manager in the league with one transaction all season, which is a bold stance when three of your starters are producing single digits from San Jose. His RB/WR/TE slot sits 13.67 above par, the best flex situation anyone has, and his running backs are 2.53 below. Mero Ouna's Don't Look Brock in Anger is next, a series Daniel's accounts trail 9-11 going back to 2011.

Jahmyr Gibbs put up 37.90 and Michael Wilson added 20.40 on an 8.97 projection, which is how Max covered for Trey Smack kicking one point. One. His kicker spot is 3.19 below par and he keeps finding new ways to prove it. Max and Andrew are the only teams with a total margin of defeat of zero, and Max's 7.22 standard deviation is the steadiest in the league. The go-big manager is winning by being boring, which must be killing him. Jason Ho's Weenie Hut Jr. is next, and Max's accounts hold an 8-7 edge since 2017, a suspiciously close series for a guy who claims to go big.

Bryan won by 1.10 points. His second one-score game in three weeks, most in the league, and the commissioner now has a season built entirely out of coin flips. Garrett Wilson went 21.70, Matthew Stafford added 20.90, and Hunter Henry contributed 1.00 point at tight end, a position where Bryan sits 7.82 below par and has for weeks. His efficiency was perfect, 100%, nothing startable left behind. His ceiling is third in the league, a strange thing to say about a team that scored 76.40 in week 1. Mike Durlofsky's Prime Sutton comes next. Put it to a vote whether Bryan should be allowed to keep winning like this.

A team called 1-0 is 3-0, undefeated, and still nobody is talking about Andrew. The Vikings D/ST scored 19.00 against a 6.49 projection, Derrick Henry added 21.40, and Terry McLaurin turned 9.69 projected into 16.70. His drafted players still on the roster have produced 302.40 points, eleventh in the league, while his waiver pickups have given him 211.64, the most anyone has gotten from acquisitions by a mile. Dozo is running a team he mostly didn't draft and it's working. He also benched Jared Goff and his 19.36 to start Bryce Young for 13.64. Jacob Rudger's Sell The Team is next, the lowest-scoring team in the league.

Mero started Jadarian Price for 0.70 while Luther Burden III sat on the bench with 16.30, the worst start/sit call of his season, and won by 55.34 anyway. That's the gift of playing Jacob. Brock Bowers went 22.60, Christian Watson 19.10, Jaylen Warren 19.10, and the Packers D/ST scored negative 6.00, a defense actively working against him. He left 69.04 points uncaptured on the season, eleventh in the league against the perfect-hindsight lineup. His roster strength of 145.42 is second-best in the league, so the solid draft everyone credits him with is real. Daniel Montoya's Wideout Roulette is next. Expect a trade offer. Decline it.

Vincent lost by 1.10. Swap his schedule with Andrew's and all three of his games flip to wins, which makes him 0-3 in reality and 3-0 in any fair universe. Bijan Robinson gave him 34.30. Tyler Shough gave him 23.80. Joe Burrow gave him 22.58 from the bench, and Terrance Ferguson started for 1.40. His luck delta of negative 0.52 is the worst in the league, his total margin of victory is a clean zero, and he's made ten transactions, more than anyone, trying to fix a team that doesn't need fixing. Luke Branscum's Monty Hall Problem is next, a series Vincent trails 5-6 since 2018. Something has to break.

Justin Jefferson scored 4.20 against a 14.79 projection while Wan'Dale Robinson put up 15.20 from the bench. Drew sets the lineup and Omeed will explain to you afterward why it was the right call. Jalen Hurts added 12.62 against a 19.80 projection, Ashton Jeanty managed 10.80, and the whole thing lost to Andrew by 12.62. Will Reichard kicked 16.00, which means their kicker outscored four starters. Two losses in a row now, and two injured starters heading into a matchup with Eric Smith's Fall of the House of York, a team they're 6-14 against going back to 2011. Omeed has been quiet since Sunday.

Luke has now left 93.12 points uncaptured this season, the most in the league, and ran a 68.33% lineup in week 3, the worst mark in the league this week. He started David Montgomery for 5.80 with Drake London and 23.90 on his bench, and benched Bo Nix and his 24.14 while Patrick Mahomes managed 15.94. His drafted players have produced 444.58 points, the most in the league, and he keeps leaving the best of them in a drawer. Breece Hall 7.00, Bucky Irving 6.80, Bengals D/ST zero. Vincent's Dijon Likely on my Glizzy is next, and Vincent is 0-3 and desperate. Pick the right door for once.

Jonathan Taylor turned a 19.10 projection into 8.20, Khalil Shakir managed 1.10, Rashid Shaheed 2.40, and the Patriots D/ST produced a clean zero, the same unit that scored 20.00 on his bench in week 2. Ja'Marr Chase went 20.30 and nobody helped him. The result was 79.58 against Mike's 140.08. Jason's $49 of FAAB spent is second-most in the league and his 97.31 average score is eleventh, so the shopping is not producing groceries. His best week, 107.16, ranks eleventh among the league's high scores. Max McBride's Trailer Park Boys are next, which is a 3-0 team against a lineup that scored 79.

De'Von Achane scored 1.70 against a 17.27 projection. Saquon Barkley 8.50 against 16.13. Malik Nabers 5.10, Tetairoa McMillan 2.70, 49ers D/ST zero. Jacob put up 64.64, the lowest score anyone has managed this season, and he named the team Sell The Team before any of this happened, which is either self-awareness or prophecy. He's spent $86 of FAAB, the most in the league, on a roster averaging 80.40 points a week. His 96.09% chance of finishing twelfth is the only number on his page above 90. Andrew Cardozo's 1-0 is next. Jacob's accounts are 5-10 against Andrew's since 2011, and nothing about this week suggests a correction.
