Rebellion fall short of expectations, succumb to Krásná Lípa Patriots, 99.92-85.58
There's no way around it, Rebellion dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as Krásná Lípa Patriots staged an impressive comeback for a 99.92-85.58 win. After trailing 85.58-83.42 heading into Sunday night, Krásná Lípa Patriots charged back behind Calvin Ridley (8 Rec, 105 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Lamar Jackson (272 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 120 Rush Yds) and Christian Kirk (6 Rec, 114 Rec Yds) were the leaders for Rebellion in the loss. Krásná Lípa Patriots (1-1) will look to build on their success against Hrustin Cowboys, while Rebellion (1-1) face High Fives in an effort to get back on track.
While catching 8 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown against the Cardinals, Andrews put up 17.2 points this week. He more-than-doubled his 6.4-point projection in the 23-17 win. Andrews ranks #17 among all fantasy players this season and will face the Chiefs next week.

Krásná Lípa Patriots
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Krásná Lípa Patriots! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our starting quarterback was clearly outclassed this past week. Lamar Jackson went 24-of-37 for 272 yards and two touchdowns for Rebellion, and all Cam Newton could put up was a 25-for-51 outing for 333 passing yards. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Rebellion
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six starting offensive skill players on Rebellion (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to register a healthy 417 total yards. Unfortunately, none of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 2.
