Tucas fall short of predictions, succumb to MangoKid, 194.82-144.46

MangoKid trailed 144.46-141.48 heading into Sunday night, but the squad charged back behind James White, who racked up 177 yards from scrimmage and caught 2 touchdown passes for 37.7 points, and DeAndre Hopkins, who caught 5 passes for 64 yards (15.64 points).

Coach Talk

MangoKid
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by over 50 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right. Let's take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Tucas, and continue on our way towards the RR Fantasy Dynasty League - S8 championship.
Tucas
Well, Tucas, this week's problem is pretty easy to spot. Choosing to start Tyler Lockett in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all put this behind us and move on.
