G7 hand Eponas third straight loss, 96.44-84.10

G7 came out on top with a 96.44-84.10 win to hand Eponas their third consecutive loss. G7 grabbed an early 16.30-point lead on Thursday. Eponas bounced back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Chris Godwin (30.4 points) and Christian McCaffrey (25.3). Not to be deterred, G7 got it going later that night, as Davante Adams (12.3 points) and Jimmy Graham (0.7) put them back ahead for good. This marks the first time this season G7 have taken down Eponas, after falling 122.72-78.2 in their last matchup. G7 (7-5) will look to add to their success against Ron's Eagles, while Eponas (6-6) match up against Royal Pita in an effort to generate some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

G7
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to an awesome outing from Drew Brees, we doubled up Eponas at the quarterback position this past week (29.44 points to 12.5). Brees went 30-for-39 for 311 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 34-31 victory over the Panthers.
Eponas
Fortunately, Eponas, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied over 96 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
