2026-2027 Week 6 Round Up

McElroy Football Team vs. LESLIE CHOW: Sophia Checks the Guest List

Picture a dinner party where one guest never arrives, another contributes nothing, and the host still has a better evening than the people across the table. Sophia would tell you this happened in Sicily. Brian McElroy can simply provide the screenshot. McElroy Football Team defeated Michael Carnicelli’s LESLIE CHOW 126.3–96.62, a 29.68-point victory achieved despite a starting bye-week player and another zero elsewhere in the lineup. That is either impressive resilience or an invitation for Dorothy to review both households. Kenneth Walker III delivered 30.9 points for McElroy. Caleb Williams supplied 20.5, DK Metcalf added 20.3, and George Kittle finished with 17.9. Those four combined for 89.6 points, keeping the occasion respectable while other guests avoided helping with the dishes. Rashid Shaheed contributed 11.8, and Pierre Strong Jr. supplied 11.7. Emanuel Wilson managed 5.2, while the Jaguars defense added 2.0. Then there were Ja’Marr Chase’s bye-week 0.0 and Brian Thomas Jr.’s 0.0. One player wasn’t playing; the other produced the same fantasy result. Blanche might find that coincidence intriguing. Dorothy would find the lineup management more interesting.

LESLIE CHOW couldn’t take advantage. DeVonta Smith led with 20.5, Trey McBride supplied 12.3, and Dak Prescott added 12.02. Kyren Williams contributed 9.7, Jaleel McLaughlin 9.5, Christian Watson 9.4, and Travis Kelce 9.3. Several guests brought something. Nobody brought enough to carry the party. Terry McLaurin’s final 3.7 ended the comeback hopes. He had needed to outscore Kittle by more than 15.48; instead, Kittle won their comparison by 14.2. The Texans defense’s 2.0 and Brandon Aubrey’s 1.0 offered little comfort. McElroy moves to 3–3, sixth. LESLIE CHOW drops to 1–5, tenth.

Rose gently explains that everyone has difficult weeks. Blanche suggests a fresh start. Dorothy points out that McElroy won with two zeros, which makes Carnicelli’s evening harder to discuss politely. Sophia closes the guest book. “Next time, invite somebody who scores.”

Me And Ma-Homies vs. Coleman’s College Fund: Dorothy Has Seen Enough

There is a particular expression Dorothy makes when someone finishes a long explanation and expects her to overlook the obvious problem. Gentry Radwanski’s Me And Ma-Homies has earned that expression. Jack Cassady’s Coleman’s College Fund won 142.52–124.08, handing Gentry an 18.44-point defeat and turning another hopeful Monday-night assignment into a quiet evening with the dessert plates. Matthew Golden supplied 25.4 points for Coleman’s, Kirk Cousins delivered 23.52, and Chuba Hubbard contributed 22.1. Colston Loveland added 18.5, while Matt Gay supplied 12.0 and Brock Bowers 11.0.

Six useful contributions kept Cassady’s household in order. Ladd McConkey managed 2.7, Tony Pollard 7.6, and the Seahawks defense 2.0. Those were uncomfortable details, but there was enough production elsewhere to stop Sophia from conducting a full investigation. Me And Ma-Homies had respectable pieces of its own. Jonathan Taylor led with 21.1, Stefon Diggs finished with 16.4, and Tetairoa McMillan added 14.6. Chris Olave supplied 14.3, J.K. Dobbins 13.6, and Zay Flowers 12.7. The problem was what happened around those contributions. Patrick Mahomes scored 10.48, Rome Odunze 6.9, and Juwan Johnson 0.0. The Rams defense added 2.0. Blanche would insist the lineup still looked attractive on paper. Dorothy would remind her that several bad decisions look attractive before they start talking. Diggs entered the final game needing more than 34.84 points to rescue the matchup. His 16.4 was productive, but it left the deficit at 18.44.

There was no final surprise. No additional guest arriving with the missing points. Coleman’s College Fund moves to 5–1 and first place. Me And Ma-Homies falls to 4–2, third—still in a strong position, but with considerably less reason to dominate the conversation. Rose suggests that third place is simply first place with two friends. Dorothy slowly puts down her fork. Sophia asks Cassady whether the college fund accepts donations. Gentry has apparently contributed enough already.

The Burden of Love vs. Team DuShuttle: The Projection Was a Lovely Story

Rose can tell a story with absolute confidence. The setting is vivid. The characters seem trustworthy. For several minutes, everyone believes the ending might make sense. Then Dorothy asks one question and the whole thing comes apart. For Derek Chimner’s The Burden of Love, that story was the projected comeback. Doug DuShuttle won 148.64–137.36, protecting his advantage and finishing 11.28 points ahead. The forecast offered Derek hope. The actual remaining players offered a different conclusion. DuShuttle’s strongest work came from Tre Tucker, with 26.7 points, and Bhayshul Tuten, with 24.7. Jordan Love contributed 21.24, Ashton Jeanty 15.8, and Braelon Allen 12.4. Those performances built the lead. Chig Okonkwo’s final 13.9 helped keep it.

There were weaknesses to conceal beneath the tablecloth. Bijan Robinson scored 7.3, Michael Wilson 7.2, and Garrett Wilson 8.4. Jake Elliott contributed 3.0. But Doug had enough useful contributions to avoid making the whole evening depend on one guest. Chimner’s best effort came from Isaiah Likely’s 23.9, followed by Brock Purdy’s 18.36, Luther Burden III’s 17.5, and CeeDee Lamb’s 16.0. Dallas Goedert supplied 12.1, Parker Washington 10.4, and Jaylen Warren 9.8. Rhamondre Stevenson’s 3.6 left the household short on assistance, while several other modest totals kept the rescue assignment demanding.

Entering the final stretch, Derek needed Purdy to outscore Okonkwo by more than 15.74 points. Purdy won that comparison by 4.46. Useful production, certainly. Enough to improve the score. Nowhere near enough to deliver the promised ending. DuShuttle improves to 3–3, seventh. The Burden of Love falls to 2–4, eighth, close enough in the standings to make this missed opportunity particularly irritating. Rose starts explaining that the projection had perfectly good intentions.

Dorothy reminds her that intentions aren’t a scoring category. Blanche suggests they discuss something more pleasant. Sophia reaches for another slice. “Good idea. Tell us how that comeback went.”

Inaugural Champion vs. Only 1 Win Matters: McCaffrey Gets the Good Chair

Blanche appreciates a dramatic arrival. Especially when someone shows up late, takes control of the evening, and leaves everyone else discussing how much better things became once he appeared. For Brady Long’s Inaugural Champion, that someone was Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey supplied 30.7 points, helping Long defeat William Black’s Only 1 Win Matters 127.68–112.5. The 15.18-point victory came after an evening that required considerably more work than the final margin might suggest. Long’s supporting cast included Matthew Stafford’s 18.88, Jalen Coker’s 15.7, and Javonte Williams’ 13.0. Drake London added 12.2, the Broncos defense 11.0, and Woody Marks 10.1. Nothing about the lineup suggested an effortless social occasion. Rashod Bateman scored 0.0, Tyler Higbee 4.2, and Bucky Irving 6.9. Dorothy would have developed a headache before anyone finished explaining the seating arrangement. But McCaffrey gave the household one person who could reliably handle the difficult conversation.

Black’s team countered with Josh Allen’s 20.3, Chris Boswell’s 17.0, and RJ Harvey’s 14.6. George Pickens added 13.3, Mike Evans supplied 12.4, and Dalton Kincaid contributed 10.8. Then came the names that looked better on the invitation than they performed at the party. Derrick Henry managed 5.0, A.J. Brown 5.7, Davante Adams 6.9, and Denzel Boston 2.5. Four players combined for 20.1 points, barely more than Allen produced alone. The final remaining-player comparison settled it. Long received 35.7 from McCaffrey and Eddy Piñeiro. Black got 16.4 from Evans and the 49ers defense. That 19.3-point advantage erased Long’s previous 4.12-point deficit and created the final margin.

Inaugural Champion improves to 5–1, second. Only 1 Win Matters settles at 3–3, fourth. Blanche offers McCaffrey the comfortable chair and asks whether he has plans next weekend. Rose says everyone deserves equal treatment. Sophia points toward the scoreboard. “Fine. Everybody gets cake. He gets a fork.”

’26 Miami Dolphins vs. Diamond dogs: Thank You for Being a Starter

The cheesecake is on the table. Christopher Shoemaker is explaining how four outstanding performances somehow became another loss. Rose looks sympathetic. Blanche suggests focusing on the positives. Dorothy has already identified the problem: several members of the lineup apparently thought participation meant being listed on the screen. Kevin Ware’s Diamond dogs defeated the ’26 Miami Dolphins 167.94–150.3, a 17.64-point victory that sent Miami back to the kitchen with plenty to discuss. Malik Nabers delivered 31.5 points for Shoemaker, Jaxon Smith-Njigba supplied 28.4, Drake Maye added 26.8, and James Cook III contributed 24.3. Those four combined for 111.0 points—enough effort to deserve a better evening. Dameon Pierce added 15.0, and Romeo Doubs supplied 11.2. There was a perfectly respectable dinner taking shape.

Then somebody opened the remaining dishes. Cam Skattebo finished with 0.0, MarShawn Lloyd 1.0, Pat Freiermuth 3.1, and the Giants defense 2.0. Four lineup slots, 6.1 points. Sophia would examine those portions and immediately accuse someone of eating before they arrived. Diamond dogs had fewer impressive contributions going to waste. Trevor Lawrence led with 34.34, while D’Andre Swift and Kyle Pitts supplied 23.0 each. Carnell Tate contributed 19.0, Keenan Allen 16.2, and Puka Nacua 14.0. Nico Collins added 10.9, and Cam Little reached 10.0. Eight players in double figures. That’s a household where nearly everyone remembered to bring something. AJ Barner’s 4.6, the Ravens defense’s 5.0, and Omarion Hampton’s 7.9 were manageable shortcomings rather than an entire conversation about responsibility.

Ware moves to 3–3, fifth. Shoemaker falls to 1–5, ninth, with another strong collection of individual performances trapped inside an unsuccessful result. Rose begins a story about a St. Olaf potluck where four guests brought empty casserole dishes. Dorothy asks whether the story has a point. Sophia glances at Miami’s lineup. “More than a few of these people did.”
