The Blue Wave knock Mananas from 1st place in 160.80-113.86 rout

The Blue Wave cruised to a 160.80-113.86 win over Mananas, knocking them out of the top spot in Fantasy Pro. It didn't take long to figure out who would be the frontrunner in this matchup, as The Blue Wave leapt out to a 47.00-point lead on Thursday behind a stellar showing from Jared Goff (61.3 points). Ben Roethlisberger (16.86 points) and Wil Lutz (16) did everything they could for Mananas in defeat. The Blue Wave (3-1) will look to build on their success against Spokane Sith, while Mananas (3-1) match up against Endzone Dance in an effort to develop some positive momentum.
