California Stoners lead Lasso’s Goldfish 261-179 at Yahoo’s 2:54 p.m. PDT capture on September 13, 2026, with Josh Allen’s 85-point explosion, David Montgomery’s 51 and Jonathan Taylor’s 46 doing most of the heavy lifting in this non-PPR, 12-point-touchdown format. Lasso’s Goldfish got a massive 67 from Derrick Henry and 36 from Chris Olave, but the gap is still substantial.
The California side is built on finished production, which matters this late in the Sunday window. Allen’s rushing scores created separation, Montgomery added three touchdowns of his own, and even modest totals from Tyler Warren, Kyren Williams and the Rams defense were enough because the Stoners already cleared 260 before Monday. Rashee Rice is California’s only remaining starter.
Lasso’s Goldfish still has paths back into the contest, which is why Yahoo’s projection remains much closer than the raw score. Jayden Daniels had only 7 points at halftime, Tucker Kraft had 10 in progress, and the Cowboys pair of Javonte Williams and CeeDee Lamb had not started yet. Those four remaining starters give Lasso’s a chance to cut into California’s 82-point lead.
The key distinction for California is that its bench eruption does not alter the score. Jalen Coker’s 51 points sit on the bench after Sunday’s addition, useful for future lineup questions but irrelevant to this Week 1 total. No starter who already played can be swapped out after the fact.
Yahoo’s projected finish is California Stoners 276, Lasso’s Goldfish 257. That 19-point projected margin is much smaller than the captured lead. California has banked its biggest performances, but the Sunday-night Cowboys could make Rice’s Monday appearance consequential.
