Despite top scorer Hunt, Tommy P fall to Simmons, 128.55-123.00
Kareem Hunt posted 32.1 points for Tommy P, the best total in the matchup and fifth-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to defeat Simmons, who earned a 128.55-123.00 win. Tommy P grabbed a 5.25-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but Simmons held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Patrick Mahomes (36.55 points) and the Miami Dolphins defense (29). Kareem Hunt (91 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 50 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and James Conner (107 Rush Yds, 56 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did their part for Tommy P in the loss. Simmons (7-2) will look to maintain their momentum against Big Ballers, while Tommy P (4-5) will attempt to get back on track against Sprint Right Option.
The Dolphins defense overachieved for the fourth time this season, scoring 29 points against their 10.99-point projection. During a 13-6 win over the Jets, they allowed only 6 points, surrendered 282 yards, and intercepted 4 passes. The Dolphins defense ranks #5 among fantasy DEFs this season and will face the Packers next week.
