The Stoners enter Sunday in the better position in Tony Romo: ahead 21.82–14.40, with Yahoo projecting 112.44–104.98. Both teams have six starters left. The advantage is useful, but 7.46 projected points leaves plenty of room for one explosive opponent performance. Scores and projected finishes were captured September 12 at 11:30 a.m. PT.
The early assignment belongs to David Montgomery against Buffalo and Jaylen Warren against Atlanta. At 1:25 p.m. PT, the lineup’s biggest concentration of remaining points arrives: Justin Jefferson against Green Bay, De’Von Achane at Las Vegas and Trey McBride at the Chargers. Together, their current individual projections total 50.16. In full PPR, catches give that trio several ways to build a productive afternoon.
The club also has confirmed depth: Parker Washington, Jayden Reed, Kenny Gainwell, Michael Pittman Jr., Aaron Jones Sr. and Goff are on the current bench. Yahoo’s transaction screen dates the Goff-for-Josh Downs move to September 10 at 1:28 p.m. The next quarterback decision belongs to Week 2.
Tush Push Nation counters with Bijan Robinson in the early window, followed by Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith and Tucker Kraft in the afternoon. Hurts and Smith can combine on the same touchdown, so California’s lead could move quickly even if its own players are doing their jobs.
Drake Maye’s 14.82, Harrison Mevis’s 1.00 and the Patriots’ 6.00 are already banked. Jared Goff is confirmed on the bench and cannot replace Maye’s completed start. Jaylen Waddle remains California’s Monday-night closer. My read: modest California advantage, with Jefferson, Achane and McBride giving this roster its clearest route to 1–0.
