Ryan beat Josh by 0.26 and Austin beat Alex by 0.36. Two of the twelve Week 3 finals were decided by less than half a point, while the other end of the board had three teams clear 160. That is the kind of week that makes a lineup choice feel very loud on Tuesday morning.

Two owners survived the decimal places

Ryan finished 96.16–95.90 over Josh in League 1, the narrowest result across both leagues. Garrett Wilson gave Ryan 26.70 starter points; Josh got 31.80 from Tyler Shough and still finished a quarter-point short. Austin escaped Alex 98.34–97.98 in the same league. Neither result needs a made-up last-second comeback to be painful: the final margins say enough.

The teams that made the scores look easy

Kent posted the week’s highest total, 166.64, behind 41.40 starter points from Jahmyr Gibbs, and beat Lil C by 53.90. Ben was barely behind at 165.66, but his 81.44-point demolition of Payden was the week’s widest margin. Ben and Kent are both 3–0 in League 1.

Will put up 162.08 against Darnell and earned his first win. In League 2, Ian scored 159.24 to beat Kenneth by 65.40. Mitchell’s 147.36–136.68 win over Cesar also mattered: Cesar scored enough to beat plenty of teams but drew Mitchell’s best week so far. Miguel’s 120.42–100.68 result over Savage left Miguel as League 2’s lone 3–0 team.

Jarvis Power Rankings: all 24 teams

This is our editorial order, not the ESPN seed list. Three weeks in, record and season scoring lead the assessment; the completed Week 3 matchup supplies the reason to move each team. The change column compares our combined 24-team order with the published Week 2 poll, not ESPN’s projected finish.

Ben, Kent and Miguel own the unbeaten records. Everyone else now has a Week 4 decision to make; Ryan and Austin can count this week’s fractions as real wins, but they cannot count on that cushion again.
