Meanwhile, CAT came in at 2-0 and lost 145.44 to 131.28 to Connie, who had been 1-1. It was Connie's fifth straight win over CAT, which puts Connie ahead 5-4 in the series.

Isaac and Sean are both 3-0, two of the 13 teams in league history to start that way. Isaac has started 3-0 for the second straight season. At the other end, Ricci, Mason and Kyle are all 0-3, and no 0-3 team has ever come back to win the title (12 have tried). Ricci hasn't started 0-3 since 2019.

A year ago after week 3, Ricci and Isaac shared the lead at 3-0. Ricci, who went on to finish 3rd, is 0-3 this year, and Isaac, who finished 5th, is 3-0.

Ricci has had 478.44 points scored against them through three weeks, the 2nd-most in league history at this point of a season. Up next: CAT and Ricci in the week 4 game of the week.

Connie gets
  • WRCeeDee LambDAL

The opportunity cost for the stronger side was high: Bing Bong acquires CeeDee Lamb (WR4) while parting with George Pickens (WR10) and Bhayshul Tuten (RB24), a clear upgrade in pure market value. Bing Bong adds a top‑tier WR that should dominate his lineup, whereas 67 inches of rizz receives a solid WR and a mid‑tier RB but loses a premier receiver. 67 inches of rizz walks away with depth but the downgrade at WR outweighs the modest boost at RB. The trade leaves Bing Bong with the higher‑grade haul, while 67 inches of rizz bears the opportunity cost of losing elite WR talent.

IsAAcShake gave up a solid RB10 and a WR20 to acquire the elite but injured WR6 and a slightly better RB9, resulting in a higher‑ranked and higher‑value package while Woodpooper receives lower‑ranked receivers and a bench‑level tight end. Woodpooper takes a downgrade at both WR and RB, justifying a lower grade, whereas IsAAcShake secures a clear upgrade that supports a higher grade. IsAAcShake wins this trade. The main risk for IsAAcShake is Jefferson’s ankle injury, which could keep him out for several weeks before he returns to form.
