Patrick
Caleb Nation
5-2 W W W W L W L
Second place, and 202.22 of quarterback on the bench
5-2 with the best all-play record in the league and the second-most points. Lost first place to a team he has outscored by 72.48, with the wrong quarterback and the wrong defense in the lineup.
The story. Patrick lost to Chris 118.24 to 112.02 and dropped to second at 5-2. He has 893.94 points, second in the league, and a 54-23 all-play record, tied with Chandler for the best in the league, which says he should have about 4.91 wins. Luck rates +0.09 now, about even. His optimal lineup was 130.18, 11.94 more than Chris scored, his first should-have-won loss of the season.
The problem. Brock Purdy started and scored 12.02 while Dak Prescott scored 23.28 on the bench. Trevor Lawrence has 101.12 on the bench this season and Dak 101.10, 202.22 of quarterback that never counted. He also started the Broncos D/ST (3.0) with the Seahawks (9.0) and Bengals (8.0) sitting, three defenses on one roster. He has left 159.96 on the bench, second most in the league, at 84.8 percent efficiency, 10th. Kenneth Walker scored 9.7 on a 19.10 projection.
What's working. Walker has 147.70 in six starts, D'Andre Swift 122.80, Puka Nacua 113.60 in five. The roster is 26.15 over projection, and his opponents have averaged 107.71 against him, the second-lowest in the league.
What to watch. Week 8 is Drew, who averages 13.66 fewer points and sets his lineup at 79.4 percent, last in the league. Patrick has the better all-play record by 21 games. Start Dak, or Lawrence, or whichever one scores this week.
