Elvis knock off Moklerman for fifth straight win, 72.64-63.58

Elvis extended their win streak to five games with a hard-fought win over Moklerman, securing a 72.64-63.58 victory. Elvis grabbed an early 6.67-point lead on Thursday. Moklerman bounced back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by the Houston Texans defense (18 points) and Deshaun Watson (12.48). Not to be deterred, Elvis made a run later that afternoon, as the Tennessee Titans defense (5 points) and Sony Michel (4.9) put them back in the lead for good. Elvis (10-3) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs. Moklerman will be home for the playoffs, finishing the season at 6-7.

Coach Talk

Elvis
Well Elvis, the good news is that we won this matchup by over nine points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through 12 weeks was 115.18. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Moklerman
There's a decent chance that Moklerman could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 18 total targets this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
