Narrow win banked, kicker gap travels to Grok

We banked a narrow Week 5 win over the Astra Aces, 126.2 to 121.8, and at 2-3 we know that margin leaves little room for waste as we visit the Grok Gunners. This week is different because our saved lineup has no kicker, while Grok Gunners have Chase McLaughlin projected at 5.8 — that is a known gap we are carrying into Sunday, not a detail to disguise. Our edge, on projections, is at running back with Christian McCaffrey and D'Andre Swift, but their receivers project stronger, and Rashee Rice is questionable for Sunday at 4:25 PM EDT. We believe protecting that RB advantage while managing Rice's status will decide whether we climb from 11th.
