War Pigs hand ASTRO CREEP 2000 third consecutive loss in 584.74-407.45 rout

War Pigs cruised to a 584.74-407.45 win to hand ASTRO CREEP 2000 their third straight loss. ASTRO CREEP 2000 nabbed a 12.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all War Pigs after that. They were led by Stefon Diggs (18 Rush Yds, 167 Rec Yds, 3 Rec TDs) and Carson Wentz (306 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 23 Rush Yds). Russell Wilson (295 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 31 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Eric Kendricks (10 Tackles) led the charge for ASTRO CREEP 2000 in defeat. War Pigs (4-2) will look to keep it rolling against Gannon's S & B II, while ASTRO CREEP 2000 (2-4) attempt to get back on track against Pogues Mahone.

Coach Talk

War Pigs
Heckuva job shrugging off that two-match losing streak, War Pigs! Every fantasy team is met with adversity at some point or another... keep showing resilience like this and take things one week at a time.
ASTRO CREEP 2000
Unless ASTRO CREEP 2000 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 6. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down just 12 catches.
