BEEFCAKE!! defy projections, knock off Donkey Punch in 124.90-75.36 rout

BEEFCAKE!! outperformed their projected point total, cruising to a 124.90-75.36 victory over Donkey Punch, who fell short of projections. Donkey Punch jumped out to a 30.70-point lead on Thursday behind impressive efforts from the San Francisco 49ers defense, who allowed only 3 points and gave up 242 yards for 26 points, and Matt Breida, who ran for 44 yards (4.7 points). But it was all BEEFCAKE!! after that. They were led by Matt Ryan, who passed for 350 yards and 4 touchdowns for 38 points, and Kareem Hunt, who racked up 141 yards from scrimmage and scored 3 touchdowns (35.1 points). BEEFCAKE!! (7-2) will look to sustain their winning ways against Team Butthole, while Donkey Punch (4-5) will try to get back in the win column against Gurleys With the TDs.

Coach Talk

BEEFCAKE!!
Assembling a starting crew that won by a whopping 49.54 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we head into our next matchup in Week 10.
Donkey Punch
Hey, it's possible that Donkey Punch might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just seven targets combined in Week 9, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
