A weekly performance index blending score, winning margin, lineup efficiency, and all-play record. It rewards how well a team played, not just whether it escaped 1–0.
YS keeps the top spot after outlasting Powell 136.56 to 129.78, thanks to Amon-Ra St. Brown’s monster 30.7. Rhamondre Stevenson was the only real hiccup, but even a lineup tweak with Rico Dowdle was just running up the score. YS sits alone at the apex, thriving on potent WR play and a defense stacking points.
With Tucker looming, stick with your formula—star power is rolling, but don’t hesitate to tweak the flex if Stevenson stumbles again.Dewi demolished Danny by more than an entire roster spot, riding Davante Adams (35.5) and CeeDee Lamb (31.3) to an easy 132.01. That total would have dunked on 10 out of 11 teams—the flexes barely mattered. Even a quiet Trevor Lawrence couldn’t hold this juggernaut back for a second straight week.
Cup is up next—keep the same core and this lineup should keep plowing through. Monitor the defense, but the offensive firepower is real.Powell took a tough 129.78-136.56 loss to YS, but All-Play says this squad belonged among the best. Tyler Shough and his 21.38 almost erased David Montgomery’s dud. Swapping in Tony Pollard would have narrowed it, but not flipped the outcome—sometimes, the other lineup’s just too hot.
Next up: Danny. Stick to the stars, but consider the Pollard/Montgomery question—margin for error is slim against weaker squads.Tee coasted over Rhys 127.52 to 89.58, fueled by a volcanic 39.82 from Josh Allen. Jaylen Waddle’s 17.8 rotting on the bench could only make the win prettier, not necessary. Even with a modest effort from KC Concepcion, Tee flexed depth and a high ceiling—dangerous signs for future foes.
Brad’s next—don’t get cute with the flex. Roll out your big guns and let Allen’s arm do the talking.Weave handled business with a 28.08-point win over Connor. Dak Prescott (29.76) and James Cook (20.4) ran the show, with Blake Corum’s big bench day merely some bonus ammo for showboating. The pedestrian performances at WR didn’t hurt against lighter opposition, but could against heavier hitters.
Rhys looms—WR slots might need some tinkering. Corum’s surging; don’t leave that firepower on the sidelines again.Griff rolled Tucker 117.83-74.35, led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 38-point explosion. Xavier Worthy’s bench blast would’ve just padded the margin. Low-end scores from Nabers and the Bucs D didn’t register with JSN blowing up, but deeper opponents will expose weak spots if the flex keeps whiffing.
Connor is up next. Cross-examine Nabers vs. Worthy in the flex—one hot hand could make all the difference against a team desperate for a bounceback.Brad grinded out a 94.38-71.30 win over Cup in an ugly one. Ja'Marr Chase was the lone bright spot in a lineup littered with mediocrity—only a marginal bench move (Rachaad White over Jeremiyah Love) could’ve improved things. This outing scrapes by, but better managers will stomp if things don’t tick up.
Tee is coming—Brad needs more than just Chase this week. Take a long, hard look at Herbert’s current output before locking him in.Rhys was trampled 127.52-89.58 by Tee. Brock Purdy (28.48) deserved better, but the rest of the lineup played invisible, with devastating contributions from Loveland and Singletary (1.7 combined). Tre Tucker’s 20.4 on the pine wouldn’t save the day, though it sure would’ve softened the blow.
Weave is up next. Shake up the flex—Tucker’s burst has to be considered, because another double-digit dud won’t cut it.Tucker got pancaked by Griff 117.83-74.35, and it’s a bad sign when your K gets you -0.1. Jonathan Taylor was a lone wolf at 27.2, while DJ Moore and Dallas Goedert went missing. Even a Tank Bigsby swap would barely close the gap. This lineup needs more than Band-Aids.
YS awaits—don’t count on a miracle. If Moore can’t show up, bench him pronto. Upgrades are critical to avoid another blowout.Connor’s offense fizzled again, falling 103.56-75.48 against Weave. Mahomes (28.98) did his job, but Jayden Reed’s 0.9 and a no-show at TE sunk any hope of relevance. Denzel Boston’s 18 pine points were wasted, but a swap would still spell defeat. If the receiving corps doesn’t wake up, it’s going to be a long season.
Griff’s next—Boston deserves a real shot in your lineup. The WRs need new life or you’ll keep chasing the pack.Cup stumbled to 71.3 and got punked by Brad. DeVonta Smith showed up, but zero help from Dart (0.8) and Barkley (2.5) sunk any hope of a W. Injury or not, this squad needed pulse and didn’t deliver. Josh Downs’ 10.7 on the bench wouldn’t have saved the day—this isn’t last year’s Cup.
Dewi’s offense is humming, and you need more than Smith. Shake up the RB slots and—if Dart’s in the doghouse—find someone else ASAP.Danny delivered a faceplant in a 71.19-132.01 disaster against Dewi. Rashod Bateman was the lone spark, while Marvin Harrison’s zero put the nail in early. Even the best bench option, Coleman’s 13.3, would’ve just made it look respectable. The lineup needs to wake up—fast.
Powell’s next, and they’re not likely to go easy. Marvin Harrison’s no-go gets a hard look; the flex can’t afford another goose egg.Power Index (0–100): 45% PF (your final weekly score) · 20% winning margin · 20% lineup efficiency · 15% all-play record. Arrows show movement from last week.
