Matchup of the Week Closest Finish
behold the lamb
Bo Girdsbehold the lamb beat Bo Girds 114.95 to 109.61 in an upset. Germie Bernard, a recent add off waivers, won it with 20.2 on an 8.13 projection. The other side's starters dropped 7 passes worth about 17.8, and those drops cost the game. Matthew Golden owned 3 of those drops, worth about 14.2 on his own. Then the Indianapolis Colts defense, their own recent add, blew it at -0.85. Awful pickup.
Game Changer
Germie Bernard, the new pickup off waivers in week 5, turned an 8.13 projection into 20.2 and takes the Game Changer. He has now beaten projection in 3 of the last 3 weeks. The waiver wire delivers. Everyone beheld the wrong Lamb, too: CeeDee Lamb managed 11.5 for behold the lamb while Germie topped the roster. Without Bernard, that is a loss to Bo Girds instead of an upset by a side that sat 11th before the week.
Awards
To Infinity and Bijan got 6.3 points from Bijan Robinson on a 23.08 projection, good for the Underperformer award. Not even close. Bhayshul Tuten, a trade pickup for Amon-Ra Dawg Your Team, took the Lucky award: 22.7 points from a stat line that usually scores about 12.49. CeeDee Lamb took the Unlucky award for behold the lamb: 11.5 points from a stat line that usually scores about 26.42.

Bo Girds had the top running back of the week in Kenneth Walker at 26.9, and Tyler Shough threw in the runner-up quarterback line. Maye d'force B with U actually got the namesake to show up, with Drake Maye at 23.8 and Isaiah Likely leading all started tight ends at 20.9. Tre Tucker topped every started receiver with 24.2 while ranking only 26th in passing volume among started WRs. Efficiency over everything.
