Krumpin: Eight hundredths of a point and three Monday ghosts
Skip Krump, Sunday desk. This league has two people who ought to be smiling and several others who should stop checking their phones until Monday. My Team Sucks! posted 158.61; Haters Gonna Hate is on 140.56 with another quarterback to play. But the funniest number is 81.50 to 81.42: DGAD and Dat’s It are separated by eight hundredths while Dat’s It still has three Monday starters. Nobody has won anything final here.
As of Sunday night, October 18. “Live” is points posted; “Yahoo Live Proj” includes unplayed Monday starters. No winner below is final.
The Sunday board
King James / 4th and INCHES
King James had Tre Tucker's 24.7 and the Chiefs defense's 20.0 to get to 139.78. 4th and INCHES is on 92.89; three starting slots posted zero. On Sunday, 4th and INCHES wrote in the chat, ‘wtf, 3 players with 0 pts?!?! Congrats Bobby! Bye week for you.’ The first sentence is the box score. The second is an attempted concession, not the official result.
Ball Don't Lie / My Team Sucks!
My Team Sucks! brought 158.61, with Kenneth Walker III at 30.3 and Bhayshul Tuten at 24.0. Ball Don't Lie has 94.57 and Rachaad White on Monday; Yahoo's Live Proj is 105.17. That is a steep hill, not a certified final margin.
BNF / EzMoney
EzMoney has 124.97 to BNF's 109.26, with George Kittle still due Monday. BNF got 24.58 from C.J. Stroud and 21.0 from Kyle Pitts Sr. A 0–5 start makes every near miss feel like a committee meeting; the scoreboard is still provisional.
Dat's It / DGAD
Dat's It trails DGAD 81.42 to 81.50, the difference of a rounding error wearing shoulder pads. Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks and the 49ers defense remain for Dat's It on Monday; Live Proj moves it to 106.54 against DGAD's 81.50. DGAD can enjoy Sunday night but cannot file a victory declaration.
Ghost of Twomp / Haters Gonna Hate
Haters Gonna Hate has 140.56 and Brock Purdy pending; Ghost of Twomp has 75.45 with Jayden Daniels still pending. Jonathan Taylor's 23.0 and D'Andre Swift's 22.3 pushed Haters, while Carnell Tate's 16.2 was one of Twomp's bright spots. Yahoo projects 163.18 to 96.02, but both quarterbacks still have to play.
GolfNut / Dan's Deepball
GolfNut's 95.29 is ahead of Dan's Deepball's 74.13, with Christian McCaffrey and Eddy Pineiro left for GolfNut. Dan's Bijan Robinson managed 6.2; a bench cannot retroactively fix that. Live Proj says 124.76 to 74.13; the Monday names keep it a forecast.
Tony's Terrific Team / Kittle Corn
Tony's Terrific Team leads Kittle Corn 122.50 to 111.17 with Terry McLaurin still to go. Kittle Corn got 29.16 from Tyler Shough, enough to make the room respect the quarterback even while Tony's side holds the live lead. Yahoo's 132.77 projection for Tony is still a projection, and Monday gets the last word.
Monday, please take the wheel
My call: Dat’s It turns that eight-hundredths deficit into a Monday lead if its pending trio plays near Yahoo’s Live Proj. The projection is not a promise. The other Monday names worth keeping an eye on are Purdy and Daniels in the Haters–Twomp game, McCaffrey for GolfNut, Kittle for EzMoney, White for Ball Don’t Lie, and McLaurin for Tony. I reserve the right to deny ever trusting a projected number when the final whistle arrives.
