The Rundown

Week 3 · from the desk

$0 QBs: IGNORED

@louisnicoletti had two quarterbacks and one decision. Drake Maye got the start, Tyler Shough threw touchdowns to an empty couch, and a win by a dime turned into 0-3. Best Shough in town, and nobody bought a ticket.

@aaronargyres made zero wrong lineup calls and climbed to first. Revolutionary strategy: start the players who score. The other nine managers have requested a tutorial.

The hottest position was the free quarterback nobody started. @dclark34 sat Sam Darnold, @casebrabham sat Jordan Love, and naturally they played each other. The commish survived; @casebrabham got the week's third-best score and a loss.

@alexeldeib benched Matthew Stafford again, and this time Purdy made it look smart. The site owner is up four spots, so expect this page to get smug.

Meanwhile the power rankings put two losing teams on the podium and the league's only unbeaten team fifth. The rankings and the standings are no longer on speaking terms.

    Three straight 120-plus weeks. That loss column is starting to look like a typo.

  2. 2up 3

    casebrabham

    1-216-11 all-play

    Collected three trophies and a loss. Somebody check the exchange rate.

  4. 4up 4

    Stafford's Staffers

    @alexeldeib2-114-13 all-play

    Leads the league in points left on the bench (103.1). Staffing issue, not talent issue.

    jwalthier

  6. 6down 3

    cdb1919

    1-214-13 all-play

    Allowing 137.5 a game. Opponents save their best stuff for this matchup.

  7. 7down 6

    2-113-14 all-play

    Owns the wrong B. Robinson, then benched him too. First to seventh, fittingly.

  8. 8down 1

    naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate

    2-113-14 all-play

    Outscored 3-0 @jwalthier by 0.18, just in the wrong game. Down to eighth anyway.

  9. 9down 3

    0-310-17 all-play

    JSN caught 128 yards and threw for 14. Maybe let him play quarterback too.

    Three weeks, three smaller scores. The firm is billing fewer hours.
