Shalabajzeri defeat Keeper Reapers in 127-72 rout

Shalabajzeri stepped up, rolling to a 127-72 win over Keeper Reapers, who fell short of projections. This matchup was over almost as soon as it started, as Shalabajzeri jumped out to a 54-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding showings from Odell Beckham Jr. (33 points) and Amari Cooper (21). Gardner Minshew II (351 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Ka'imi Fairbairn (3-3 FG, 50 long, 2-2 XP) were the top scorers for Keeper Reapers in defeat. Shalabajzeri (2-2) will look to keep it rolling against Maharaja Daughters, while Keeper Reapers (2-2) attempt to generate some positive momentum against spopov_k_2020.

Coach Talk

Shalabajzeri
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We not only doubled up Keeper Reapers at RB (39 points to 16), we also royally dominated them at WR (54 to 8).
Keeper Reapers
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 18 targets in Week 4. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they managed just nine catches.
