Powell—4–310–1 all-play this week83% efficiencyPower Index 81
Still the team to beat
Powell obliterated Rhys behind Tony Pollard's 35-point flex but left 8.80 on the board with Ted Hurst III's goose egg. With a dominant 10-of-11 all-play showing and the league's top points total, the ranking at #1 is undeniable. The only criticism is that this juggernaut has been unlucky to rack up three losses with such firepower. Against Brad next, don't get complacent—upgrade those final flex choices and press every margin.

Dewi↑24–39–2 all-play this week93% efficiencyPower Index 68
On the charge
Dewi steamrolled Brad by 34.48, as CeeDee Lamb and Omar Cooper Jr. delivered another efficient, deep scoring week. A sharp 93% lineup efficiency and all but perfect all-play result propelled Dewi up two spots, erasing doubts after early inconsistency. The bench lacked game-changing alternatives but the top-end production is building real momentum. Next week against Connor, focus on squeezing a bit more juice out of that RB2 slot.

Griff↑34–311–0 all-play this week82% efficiencyPower Index 65
Nobody could live with them
Griff’s eruption to 143.13 marks the league’s top score, with Joe Burrow and Jaxon Smith-Njigba leading a relentless attack that vaulted Griff three spots up the rankings. Even with subpar tight end play, every other starter pitched in, supported by perfect all-play. Depth on the bench is real but wasn’t needed to rout Tee. The focus must be on relieving LaPorta's TE drag and not wasting Burrow's heater versus Weave.

YS↓14–33–8 all-play this week74% efficiencyPower Index 61
Points left on the bench
YS suffered the agonizing heartbreak of the week, dropping by 0.18 when Rico Dowdle’s 11.6 sat on the bench while Allgeier scuffled. Dropping to #4 is justified—this was a winnable matchup squandered by a flex misfire and soft WR output. Only three all-play wins underline the fragility behind the record. With Tee looming, vet every flex decision: you can’t afford another lineup error.

Tee↓34–36–5 all-play this week71% efficiencyPower Index 60
Sliding down the list
Tee tumbled three ranks after a flat 110.17 as WR production collapsed, despite McBride carrying the scorecard. Missing KC Concepcion Jr. for a 16.6-point swap wouldn’t have changed the loss, but it hurts to see so many bench points wasted when the starters need a spark. Sliding in all-play win rate exposes this roster’s lack of depth behind McCaffrey. Faced with YS next, stabilize your WR lineup or risk freefall.

Brad↓15–22–9 all-play this week92% efficiencyPower Index 56
Still searching
Brad’s lead at the top of the standings is a mirage: a 5-2 record camouflages another toothless outing, salvaged only by Zay Flowers cracking 20. Efficiency was passable but a two-win all-play week doesn’t lie. This offense remains dangerously shallow and reliant on random WR heroics, which explains the one-spot drop. With the juggernaut Powell coming, any repeat of this RB disaster will get you exposed.

Tucker—4–35–6 all-play this week97% efficiencyPower Index 52
Every lineup call landed
Tucker’s week was all Geno Smith and Jonathan Taylor, but the lack of real upside elsewhere left the squad stuck in low gear and locked at seven. Efficiency was tidy—basically perfect with no glaring mistakes—but the bench offered nothing, and five all-play wins speak volumes about a capped ceiling. This roster needs more punch, fast. Next up: lock in a third weapon if you want to climb out of mid-tier purgatory.

Cup↑13–44–7 all-play this week80% efficiencyPower Index 44
Job done
Cup squeaked out the narrowest of wins behind Luther Burden III, but an 80% efficiency and middling scoring prove this was more escape than statement. Four all-play wins highlight the razor-thin margin for error and the bench was again poorly optimized. A one-spot climb is more about other teams spiraling than any Cup resurgence. Danny is up next: more upside is mandatory to avoid being exposed again as a paper tiger.

Every lineup call landed
Weave finally saw the scoring break 110, with Jameson Williams exploding and bench mistakes proving inconsequential. Still, an 8-win all-play week and brutal points-for ranking can’t hide that this win was overdue, not a new trend. One slot up in the rankings is more mercy than belief. Versus Griff, insist that A.J. Brown delivers or be ready to reshuffle.

Rhys↓23–41–10 all-play this week83% efficiencyPower Index 35
Sliding down the list
Rhys plunged two more places after another blowout, dragged down by an anemic Henry and a receiver corps full of almosts. With only one all-play win, the case for a slump is damning: this squad rarely threatens beyond a Puka Nacua burst. A bench swap wouldn’t have mattered—this is a roster with structural problems rather than just bad luck. Until Henry wakes up, Rhys risks sliding further into obscurity against Tucker.

Job done
Connor finally got the script to flip behind Drake Maye’s breakout and a rare 7-win all-play week, snapping a miserable run. Depth flashed with Caleb Douglas’s 20 points left unused, and the overall scoring showed the team’s potential to rise. Still, a single solid week barely lifts them off the floor at 2-5 and demands proof of consistency. Dewi is next: lock in your best playmakers and prove this wasn’t a mirage.

Danny↓11–60–11 all-play this week81% efficiencyPower Index 12
Bottom of the all-play
Danny remains the league’s doormat, turning in another sub-80 point flop with no all-play victories and only one RB or WR cracking double digits. An 81% efficiency rating only exposes the sad truth: the lineup is simply outgunned, not mismanaged. With neither star power nor depth, the tumble to last was inevitable. Cup is the next test—survival depends on finding unexpected upside, somehow.

The record is lying
Brad's five wins drastically overstate this team's merit: a seventh-place points total and just 37 all-play wins indicate the results are pure luck, not quality. With a schedule luck surplus of 1.64 wins, Brad should brace for a hard correction in the standings. The mirage atop the table won't survive under scrutiny unless the scoring finally catches up.

How it works: each remaining game is played out using every team's scoring average so far, pulled toward the league average so early hot and cold streaks don't count for too much.
The Market
$743 spent. Who's actually getting a return?
Every paid winning waiver bid through Week 7, and what those players have actually delivered. Points only count while the player was in the buyer's starting lineup.
The FAAB ledger
How the math works
- Spent adds up every winning waiver bid from Week 1 to Week 7. Failed bids, free-agent pickups and $0 claims are left out of the table entirely. Remaining budget is $100 minus spent.
- Started pts counts a player's points only in weeks he was in the buyer's starting lineup, from the week he was claimed onward. Bench weeks, and anything he scores after being dropped, don't count.
- Pts per $1 is started points ÷ FAAB spent. Example: $10 spent and 45 started points = 4.50 per $1. Managers who haven't spent anything show “—”.
- Best value buy is the single paid claim with the highest started points ÷ bid. Biggest splash is the largest single bid.
