OVERTIME KEPT GOTHAM AWAKE. TWO MATCHUPS FINISHED INSIDE FIVE POINTS.

Ben drops 294.33 on the league's highest-scoring team

Pat scored 243.80 and lost by more than 50. This is why fantasy football does not offer hardship exemptions.

Ben got 78.67 from Jason Myers, 41.05 from Christian Watson, 37.97 from Derrick Henry, 35.00 from George Pickens, and 31.28 from Pat Freiermuth. Wonder Waah beat projection by 101.80 points. That is not exceeding expectations. That is escaping the chart.

Pat still got 55.75 from Bucky Irving, 51.67 from Will Reichard, 37.00 from Denver's defense, and 33.32 from Trevor Lawrence. Loose Endz falls to 3-2 but remains first in total points. Sometimes the correct response is simply "well, okay then."

Mike gets four points away from stealing Monday night

Dan had already built a 46.04-point lead before Matthew Stafford took the field Monday. Stafford scored 41.82. Overtime kept giving Mike chances. The final margin was 4.22.

The painful part came earlier. Isaiah Likely scored 42.40 on Mike's bench while Mike Gesicki scored 12.15 in the lineup. That one swap adds 30.25 and changes the winner. Ball Hogs did not need a Monday miracle. They needed a Sunday lineup change.

Dan moves to 4-1 and first overall. Drake Maye gave him 69.79, Kaimi Fairbairn added 55.00, and once again the Chaos positions refused to behave like supporting actors.

Dave B wins the household. Catyn wins Paris.

Dave B and Catyn got the first spouse-versus-spouse matchup of the season. Dave B won it comfortably behind 42.50 from James Cook, 41.00 from Tyler Bass, 29.46 from Kyler Murray, and 28.20 from Jameson Williams.

Catyn scored 140.02, fifty points below projection. Malik Willis had 30.35 on the bench, but there was no single obvious swap that was going to fix an 87-point loss.

Catyn was also in Paris seeing Celine Dion. So Dave B gets the fantasy win. Catyn got Celine Dion in Paris. The Gazette is not going to pretend those prizes are equal.

Bobby survives George by 5.39 while George once again tests the minimum lineup requirements

One week after George won with two injured players active, he started Lamar Jackson in a week where Yahoo listed him with no game. George received zero at quarterback and still lost by only 5.39.

Bobby got 48.72 from Jared Goff, 42.00 from Tyler Loop, and 31.48 from Kyren Williams. George countered with 63.23 from Jahmyr Gibbs, 29.50 from Seattle's defense, and minus-5.00 from Cairo Santos because Chaos gives and Chaos absolutely takes.

Bobby is 3-2. George is 3-2. We continue to recommend starting a quarterback who is scheduled to play football.

Henny's roster churn turns into 275.55 points

Henny's pregame moves paid off. Jacoby Brissett started and scored 42.16. The Jaguars defense, another pickup, added 13.50. Spencer Shrader remained absurd at 68.67.

Alex scored 240.75 and still lost by 34.80. Jordan Love had 36.48, Davante Adams 32.60, Cam Little 31.33, and Houston's defense 36.00. There was not some giant bench mistake hiding here. Henny simply had one of the best weeks in the league.

Mariah Carey moves to 3-2 and has quietly won three of four since the Week 1 disaster.

Farrar and Dave C make Monday night unnecessarily personal

Before Monday night, Farrar led by 4.39. Then Josh Allen scored 48.78 for Dave C while Puka Nacua scored 47.00 for Farrar. The final margin tightened to 2.61.

Dave C got 36.35 from Malik Nabers, 34.30 from Mike Evans, and 31.00 from the Browns defense. Farrar answered with 48.68 from Joe Burrow, 41.15 from Derrick Henry, 35.00 from Minnesota's defense, and Nacua's 47.00.

Farrar is now 2-3 despite sitting seventh in the Yahoo standings and fourth in total points scored. Dave C is also 2-3. Monday night did not create the result, but it made sure neither manager got to relax while arriving there.

Henny: Brissett and Jacksonville go straight into the lineup

Mariah Carey added Jacoby Brissett and the Jaguars defense before Week 5. They scored 42.16 and 13.50. Combined: 55.66. Henny won by 34.80.

That is about as clean a "yes, the moves paid off" answer as fantasy football offers.

Dave C: Shipley and Cleveland keep him alive until Monday

Will Shipley scored 14.50 and Cleveland's defense scored 31.00. Both were recent additions. Their combined 45.50 helped Dave C reach 256.61 and lose by 2.61, which is both successful roster management and a terrible customer experience.

Mike: Gay and Cincinnati helped make Dan sweat

Matt Gay scored 11.33 and the Bengals defense scored 26.00. The new pieces combined for 37.33 in a game Mike lost by 4.22. The moves worked. Isaiah Likely remaining on the bench is the part Mike will probably remember.

Farrar: McPherson starts, Jayden Daniels waits

Evan McPherson scored 12.67 after Farrar added him. Jayden Daniels scored 46.19 on the bench, but Joe Burrow scored 48.68 as the starter, so no crime was committed there. For once, having two useful quarterbacks was merely nice.
