REAPERS
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up 🏆🐲 KING KOOPA 🐲🏆 at the wide receiver position (60.8 points to 29.1).
🏆🐲 KING KOOPA 🐲🏆
Chin up, 🏆🐲 KING KOOPA 🐲🏆! You can feel good knowing that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like REAPERS succeed... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of kickers early in the 2020 draft, something along those lines.
