RedZone fall short of predictions, succumb to JLEAGUER, 100.42-81.28

There's no sugarcoating it, RedZone didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as JLEAGUER emerged victorious with a 100.42-81.28 victory. RedZone nabbed a 13.60-point lead on Thursday, but JLEAGUER held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Josh Allen (243 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 46 Rush Yds) and Austin Hooper (6 Rec, 66 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Lamar Jackson (267 Pass Yds, 46 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Aaron Jones (19 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) were the leaders for RedZone in the loss. JLEAGUER (1-2) will look to keep it rolling against 4th and Drunk, while RedZone (1-2) will meet Bad JuJu in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

JLEAGUER
Way to shrug off that two-game losing skid, JLEAGUER! Every fantasy GM will surely be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep pushing forward and good things will continue to happen.
RedZone
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for RedZone collectively registered only two catches on four targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 4!
