Phillip Lindsay (92 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Carson Wentz (239 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 15 Rush Yds) carried the flag for Voodoo Mama Juju in the loss. DITKA (6-3) will look to build on their success against XFL 2.0 (Matt), while Voodoo Mama Juju (5-4) take on Fantasy Champs in an effort to right the ship.
