The Toddfather knock off Bad JuJu in 155.80-120.76 rout
The Toddfather stepped up, rolling to a 155.80-120.76 victory over Bad JuJu, who fell short of projections. Bad JuJu jumped out to a 29.32-point lead on Thursday behind a stellar showing from Emmanuel Sanders (28 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 102 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). But it was all The Toddfather after that. They were led by Marlon Mack (126 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 33 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Todd Gurley II (63 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 23 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). The Toddfather (5-2) will look to rack up another W against Cook a Graham, while Bad JuJu (3-3-1) will attempt to right the ship against Straight Cash Homie.
While racking up 159 yards from scrimmage and scoring 2 touchdowns against the Bills, Mack registered 31.9 points this week. His scoring output nearly tripled his 10.65-point projection and was much higher than his 7.8-point season scoring average. Mack will face the Raiders next week.
