Hench fall short of predictions, lose to Flying Elvis in 106.92-64.08 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Hench underperformed, at least based on projections, as Flying Elvis rolled to a 106.92-64.08 win. This one was decided almost as soon as it started, as Flying Elvis took a 54.72-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 49.22 points from Tom Brady (358 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Julio Jones (8 Rec, 106 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Saquon Barkley (25.7 points) and the Los Angeles Rams defense (11) did their part for Hench in defeat. This marks the third time this season Flying Elvis have knocked off Hench, after winning 102.72-100.96 in their last matchup. Flying Elvis improve to 6-8 for the season, while Hench fall to 5-9.

Coach Talk

Flying Elvis
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Fueled by a solid showing by Tom Brady, we absolutely dominated Hench at the quarterback position this past week (26.62 points to 9.98). Brady went 27-for-43 for 358 yards, three TDs, and no INTs in a 34-33 loss to the Dolphins.
Hench
It's entirely possible that Hench may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 10 total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
