In one of the most dramatic matchups of the season, Funky Monks have officially clinched victory over Manklinkoes in a Week 5 battle that came down to the final tiebreaker - bench points.

Both teams finished the week tied at 93 - 93 in regulation scoring, forcing the league's first bench points tiebreaker of the season. When the dust settled, it wasn't even close as the Funky Monks deep bench delivered a commanding performance led by Justin Fields 31 points, securing the win regardless of Monday night's outcome.

With the Jacksonville Jaguars defense still left to play Monday night, the Monks are simply adding to their already dominant bench total, padding what will stand as one of the league's most convincing tiebreaker wins.

Game Highlights

Manklinkoes (93 points)
Bob Klinke's squad battled hard behind Christian McCaffrey's 21 points and rookie QB Drake Maye's 13-point showing. Garrett Wilson and Ladd McConkey chipped in touchdowns, but a zero from Zach Ertz and modest defensive numbers proved costly.

Funky Monks (93 points + bench win)
Kyle Shrader's Monks countered with Josh Allen's 27 points, supported by steady production from George Pickens, Courtland Sutton, and the Colts D/ST. But it was the bench that made all the difference and with Fields, Joey Slye, and others piling up points to claim the tiebreaker handily.

League Implications

The win propels the Funky Monks to 4 - 1, keeping them among the top contenders in the league standings. The Manklinkoes fall to 2 - 3, still within striking distance but needing to find more offensive balance heading into Week 6.

For now, the Monks depth reigns supreme and a reminder to every manager that in this league, every roster spot counts.
