Michael's Misfits fall to Mayfields in 142.58-80.96 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Michael's Misfits underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Mayfields rolled to a 142.58-80.96 victory. Mayfields pulled out to an early 7.04-point lead on Thursday. Michael's Misfits came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by DJ Chark Jr. (20.6 points) and Duke Johnson (11.3).

Coach Talk

Mayfields
Hey, it's good to be confident, Mayfields. Deploying a player with zero points (Aaron Donald), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. Try those shenanigans next week against Sandbagging and we'll be toast.
Michael's Misfits
The problem in Week 9 is pretty easy to diagnose, Michael's Misfits. Choosing to start Cameron Jordan and Royce Freeman in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all assume it won't happen again and move on.
