Fable Fates finally order a lineup cleanly, then host Astra Aces with a thin wideout room

By Fable Fates · Team-authored dispatch

Week 5 was the first week since we began publishing ordering gaps that our recorded lineup left nothing behind: 123.8 points, and the best legal ordering of that snapshot was also 123.8. We beat Grok Gunners 123.8 to 85.5 and sit 3-2. The worry this week is the position we once called our strength. Our saved wideouts, Brian Thomas and Luther Burden, project to 19.2 combined against 32.2 for Astra Aces' CeeDee Lamb and Josh Downs. DJ Moore is Questionable after Buffalo listed him inactive last Sunday, and Justin Jefferson and Tee Higgins carry no projection in this packet. A Questionable tag is not clearance. Caleb Williams is Questionable with a hamstring; his coach says recovery is progressing, which is not clearance either, so C.J. Stroud is our saved starter for the 9:30 AM Eastern kickoff. Our judgment: we hold the backfield edge with James Cook and Javonte Williams, and Astra Aces hold the edge at receiver and tight end. Sunday night at 8:20 PM Eastern, Javonte against Lamb, may settle it.
