Logjam in ST division clears ... a bit
Three teams now tied for first at 5-1: Who Dey, Gerbils and Packers
Nothing has changed since yesterday's preliminary results post, just a confirmation of what we expected. We now have three teams tied for the Shit Talkers Division lead with 5-1 records and the Invaiders still sit atop the Silent Division at 3-3.
The news, if you can call it that, is the injury update. So that's where we'll start.
Injury update
The Packers lost QB Jalen Hurts (85 points, 14.2 average) for the season to a blood clot issue that the Eagles staff apparently did not handle well. Jeff Lambert also has Jayden Daniels (128 points, 21.3 average) so he's fine until Daniels gets knock out for the year. Again.
The Spread Beaters won their game but lost WR Davante Adams (fourth among all receivers with 69 points and an 11.5 average) for 6-10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring, which will require surgery.
The Gerbils could not have been thrilled when Ironman WR Mike Evans (Go Niners!) limed off the field in the final seconds of the first half with an achillies issue. Evans was already playing with broken ribs. He did have 5 catches for 93 yards (9 points) before leaving the game, and it's notable that the 49ers did not complete a third-down pass in the second half.
The Recliners were without QB Lamar Jackson (fourth among quarterbacks with 117 points, 19.5 average) for the second consecutive week due to an ankle sprain.
The Band Aids were without WR Ladd McConkey (concussion). McConkey has had a very disappointing 2026 season, and is 34th among receivers with 24 points and a 4.6 average. Too put that in perspective, some guy I've never heard of, WR Germie Bernard, has scored more points.
Speaking of disappointing seasons, WTNE was again without keeper RB Saquon Barkley (17 points, 4.3 average), who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. Given the Eagles disarray -- offensive line in shambles, injury mishandling (see Jalen Hurts) and defensive issues, will it even matter if Barkley returns this week?
The Invaiders picked up RB David Montgomery off the free agent pile after he was dropped by the Packers, despite the groin injury that caused him to miss the past two games (and has him questionable this week). Montgomery scored 25 points in Week 1 but had only 10 total in the four games he player after that.
The Band Aids lost WR Terry "No Scorin" McLaurin to a "significant" knee injury against San Francisco (Go Niners!) on Monday night and is out indefinitely. Expect him to be released tomorrow, since he's only scored 29 points this season anyway.
Packers RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt went on IR last week with a groin injury and will miss a minimum of three more games.
WR Deebo Samuel, a free agent after being released by the Tirades, is expected to miss the next three weeks with a strained hamstring.
Returning?
RBs Zach Charbonnet (Invaiders), Jordan Mason (Band Aids) and Josh Jacobs (Recliners) are all possible to return from injury (the first two) and felony assult allegations (Jacobs) this week; QB Baker Mayfield (free agent) may also return.
Week 6 recap
Who Dey 111, Tirades 75: Free-agent pickup QB C.J. Stroud arrived just in time to score 22 points and lead Matt McCumber's team to victory. Who Dey (5-1) also got 18 from D'Andre Swift and 17 from K Tyler Bass. The Tirades' (2-4) season of disappointment continued as eight of nine starters were under scoring expectations. Only a Monday night effort from QB Brock Purdy (16 points, five less than expected) and RB Chistian McCaffrey (22 points, five above expected) prevented this from being a total disaster. Go Niners.
Packers 106, Invaiders 77: QB Jayden Daniels awakened in the second half of the Monday night game to score 22 points as the Packers (5-1) coasted to the win over Vern Ahrendes and the Invaiders (3-3, still in first in Silent Division). RB James Cook had 20 and K Chase McLauglin had 17 for the Pack. Another QB picked up off the free agent pile last week led the Invaiders with 20 (Jordan Love).
Rangers 101, WTNE 56: John Lambert's Rangers (2-4) rolled to victory over son-in-law Jordan Garcia's WTNE (0-6) thanks to RB Chuba Hubbard (18) and K Chris Boswell (17). WR Malik Nabers had 16 for the Rangers. WTNE's season of ultimate disappointment continued despite 17 points from TE Isaiah Likely (17 points). The only other of Jordan's starters in double figues was Dak Prescott, who thankfully ran out of time before he could throw another interception and drop to 8 points (instead of 10).
Spread Beaters 100, Recliners 55: Matt Pringle's season was on the brink if the Beaters (2-4) had lost this one. Well, that might not be completely accurate as we are talking about the Shitty Division, which is led by a team that is .500. Anyway, Pringle's team survived thanks to QB Drake Maye (another free agent pickup!) and his 23 points and 19 more from RB Bayshul Tuten, who is on his way to challenging for Draft Pick of the Year status (see next recap for who Tuten is chasing for that award). Oh, and RB Jonathan Taylor also had 19. The Recliners (2-4) were led by K Harrison Butker, and we all know what that means. Also, Butker's 12 points made him the only Recliner scoring with double figures.
Gerbils 85, Band Aids 62: The leading candidate for Draft Pick of the Year is K9, Rb Kenneth Walker III, who the Gerbils (5-1) are riding to the top of the Shit Talkers Division standings. Walker (25 points) scored almost a third of the Gerbils total and is second among running backs with 120 points and a 24-point average. Oh, and the leader among RBs? Gerbils teammate Jamyr Gibbs with 124 points and a 24.8 average, who was on a bye week or the Gerbils would have gone over 100 again. TE George Kittle (Go Niners!) had 12 and QB Sam Darnold (Boo Seahawks) had 10 aand were the only other Gerbils in double-figures. Band Aids QB Josh Allen had 18 for the Band Aids (4-2).
