California Trails, But Window Stays Open

Tush Push Nation has the better current total, yet both sides still have premium starters active.

California Stoners trail Tush Push Nation 127.62-98.72 at Yahoo’s 2:52 p.m. PDT capture on September 13, 2026. In this full-PPR format, Tush Push Nation built the edge with D’Andre Swift’s 32.4, Bijan Robinson’s 31.3 and Evan McPherson’s 19, while California’s best counters were David Montgomery at 28.9, Justin Jefferson at 18.6 and Drake Maye’s now-locked 14.82.

The shape of the matchup matters more than the headline number. California still has four starters unresolved: De’Von Achane, Jefferson and Trey McBride were midgame, and Jaylen Waddle remains a Monday play. Tush Push Nation has three still moving, all from Philadelphia: Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.

Goedert’s start is central here because he already has 10.2 points and a touchdown in the tight-end slot, while Tucker Kraft’s 4 points are on Tush Push Nation’s bench and do not apply. That decision is locked for Week 1. California, meanwhile, needs its remaining receivers and backs to keep producing because this scoring system rewards every reception.

There are also bench totals on the Stoners side that can tempt second-guessing but do not change the math. Parker Washington’s 19.3 and Jared Goff’s 20.44 are useful information for future weeks, not hidden points waiting to be claimed Sunday afternoon.

Yahoo projects Tush Push Nation to finish at 151.94 and California Stoners at 138.37. That leaves California as an underdog, but a close finish is still very much alive if the remaining reception-heavy pieces keep stacking catches.
