Seattle lost in Washington, 33–31, and still put two players in the top five of Week 3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished second with 35.4 PPR points and Sam Darnold fifth with 29.7. Together they produced 65.1 points on an afternoon their team came up short.

Jahmyr Gibbs won the week at 41.4. But no passing game fed fantasy lineups quite like Seattle's, and the Seahawks were the only team with two players that high on the board.

A 19.7-point quarter in a two-point loss

Smith-Njigba caught 10 of his 14 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns, with a long of 26. He even completed his only pass, a 14-yarder. Most of the damage came late: his 19.7 points in the fourth quarter were the biggest single quarter anyone posted all week.

Darnold drove it. He went 31 of 45 for 379 yards and four touchdowns. Two interceptions cost him, and they help explain why he stopped at 29.7, three-tenths short of joining the four players who reached 30. For managers who started both, the final score didn't matter. The volume did.

Gibbs owns Sunday morning

The early Sunday window was crowded, but Gibbs pulled away. He scored 13.2 points in the third quarter alone and finished with 20 carries for 99 yards and two touchdowns, plus 7 catches on 8 targets for 65 yards and a third score. Detroit beat the Jets 31–24, and Gibbs ended 6.0 points clear of Smith-Njigba.

The losing side of that game paid off too. Garrett Wilson caught 10 of 13 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown, good for 26.7 and eighth place. Geno Smith completed 31 of 37 passes for 321 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, landing exactly on the 26.0 line that marked the top 10. One game, three top-10 finishers.

Stacks up and down the board

Seattle wasn't the only team doubling up. Atlanta set the pace on Thursday night, when Bijan Robinson opened with 16.0 points, led at 19.8 by halftime and finished at 35.3. He ran 29 times for 194 yards and two touchdowns, with a long of 55. Drake London matched that yardage through the air: 9 catches on 10 targets for 194 yards and a 68-yard long, worth 28.4 without a touchdown. The Falcons won 35–14 at Green Bay, and their two players held up as third and sixth all week.

San Francisco did it in the late window. Brock Purdy completed only 15 of 27 passes, but they went for 297 yards and four touchdowns, and he added 34 rushing yards. His 31.3 ranked fourth. George Kittle caught 6 of 7 targets for 82 yards and two scores, including a 19.1-point quarter, to finish ninth at 26.2 in a 36–30 win over Arizona.

The Cardinals just missed. Michael Wilson (25.9) and Jacoby Brissett (25.6) finished 11th and 12th, both a fraction under the cutoff. Brissett threw 52 passes and ran in a touchdown. Tyler Shough's fourth touchdown pass briefly lifted him to seventh at 26.6, but he settled at 24.8 in a 35–27 loss to Las Vegas. On the other side of that game, Brock Bowers caught 10 of 14 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown, and his 27.6 put him seventh. With Kittle ninth, two tight ends cracked the top 10.

A board that stopped moving

After Sunday afternoon, nothing shifted. Derrick Henry led the game in Rio de Janeiro at 21.9, well short of the leaders. On Sunday night, Bo Nix scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and finished at 25.1, just outside the top 10. Case Keenum topped Monday night with 24.5, and Darnold's hold on fifth was never threatened.

That leaves a week defined by depth at the top. Forty-one players cleared 20 points, but only four reached 30, and it took 26.0 to make the top 10. Gibbs owned the high mark. Seattle owned the story: a quarterback and his top receiver both finished in the top five, in a game they lost by two.
