Game of the Week: Brandon Saunders (130.22) vs Anthony Battle (104.86)
All-time H2H: Brandon leads series 11-8
Despite his team’s namesake scoring a game-low 1.70 points on Sunday night, Brandon continued his dominant early-season run. He has won his first three games with an average margin of victory of 49.44 points. Sure, that was assisted heavily by a remarkable Week 2 point differential, but he won this week’s contest by 25.36 points, a comfortable margin in its own right.
Â
Brandon and Ant faced off in a battle of unbeatens. Brandon’s squad got out to a hot start and never looked back. They led 73-37 when the early slate of Sunday games concluded.
Â
Though Ant’s Visionary fought back to hold a lead of less than two points heading into Monday night, we all know he didn’t stand a chance; the lone player left to go was Lamar Jackson.
Â
Brandon already had the matchup’s high scorer; Washington’s defense had outscored Kyren Williams by nearly four points. But Jackson topped Washington’s 25 points with 27 of his own and let Ant head to bed by the end of Baltimore’s first offensive possession.

IR Report
In our league, any player can be placed on IR regardless of injury designation. Once on IR, the player cannot be moved, dropped, or traded for a minimum of three weeks.
After Week 1, IR placements are retroactive to the prior week as long as the player was already on the team's roster but was not in the starting lineup during that prior week. This means those players will be eligible to come off IR after just a two-week stay.
