Cleveland Moneyboyz had the No. 1 scorer in the matchup with QB Jared Goff accumulating 42.24 points, the seventh-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Climhazzard, who earned a 237.72-182.21 win. Climhazzard nabbed an early 19.70-point lead on Thursday. Cleveland Moneyboyz bounced back to take the lead during the early slate on Sunday, powered by Jared Goff (42.24 points) and James Conner (25.5).

Coach Talk

Climhazzard
We do admire the confidence this past week, Climhazzard. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (DJ Chark Jr.), while still earning a W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against FantasyGod318 and see what happens!
Cleveland Moneyboyz
Fortunately, Cleveland Moneyboyz, this week's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Going with Desmond King II and Colin Jones in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 237.72 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
