Chase’In a 3-peat beat Pat's Perfect Team 138.9-83.8, a final captured at 8:27 a.m. Pacific Tuesday, and only one side looked remotely awake. Jaxson Dart’s 32.6, Nico Collins’ 21.2 and Isaiah Likely’s 27.8 formed the core for Chase. Pat's Perfect Team never cleared 20 points from any starter, topping out at Dak Prescott’s 19.4 while dragging a zero from Colston Loveland.
The important part is that Chase won without anything close to a full lineup spike. Ja’Marr Chase scored 3.2, the Eagles defense only 3, and the backfield pairing of Rhamondre Stevenson and Kyren Williams was merely adequate. That left room for strategy talk rather than celebration fog. Trevor Lawrence’s 34.1 on the bench was better than Dart by 1.5, and Malik Nabers’ 12.9 could have been considered in the flex debate, but this was not a botched masterpiece. It was a comfortable win with optional upgrades.
Pat's Perfect Team has fewer excuses. Loveland’s zero at tight end was devastating in a PPR league, Drake London scored 5.5, Tee Higgins 8.9 and Omarion Hampton 8.3. Brock Purdy’s 28.1 on the bench would have improved quarterback, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s 12.6 could have nudged either Bhayshul Tuten or the flex. None of those changes alone close 55.1 points, which is both sobering and useful.
The next-round planning has moved beyond Wednesday’s first grades. Henderson’s full participation remains encouraging for Pat, though the final game report is pending; Pacheco remains a long-term IR hold. Chase should prepare its Egbuka/Addison receiver options after the stronger Collins availability concern, without treating the named report as an official out ruling. Skattebo at RB and Nabers at flex remain captured lineup facts. Pat still needs a usable tight-end alternative before facing KY.
Thursday beat update: Chase’In a 3-peat: Preserve the Collins alternatives. Prepare for the possibility Collins misses Week 2 without treating it as official. Pat's Perfect Team: Henderson practiced fully; retain RB depth. Henderson fully participated Wednesday with his ankle listed. These are Week 2 planning notes; they do not rewrite the completed Week 1 result, and current ownership still needs a same-league Yahoo check.
