Despite top scorer Cook, Nightmares fall to Enforcers in 147.9-143.4 battle

Nightmares had the top scorer in the matchup with RB Dalvin Cook accumulating 28.1 points, the eighth-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Enforcers, who staged an impressive comeback for a 147.9-143.4 victory. After trailing 143.4-119.8 heading into Monday night, Enforcers came storming back behind Odell Beckham Jr. (6 Rec, 161 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Dalvin Cook (28.1 points) and Chris Godwin (26.1) were the leaders for Nightmares in the loss. Enforcers (1-1) will look to maintain their momentum against Orange bloods, while Nightmares (1-1) take on Boomtown Brawlers in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Enforcers
Deploying a starting crew that tallied nearly 148 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our next challenge in Week 3.
Nightmares
Well, Nightmares, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Going with Drew Brees in what was ultimately a tight fantasy matchup... we'll all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
