LongShotzz fall to Str8CashHomey in 41.10-21.80 rout despite outperforming expectations
LongShotzz stepped up and beat expectations, but it wasn't enough to swing the result as Str8CashHomey rolled to a 41.10-21.80 victory. LongShotzz got out to a 0.21-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Str8CashHomey after that. They were led by Aaron Jones, who racked up 236 yards from scrimmage and scored 3 touchdowns for 5.68 points, and Antoine Winfield Jr., who made 11 tackles and recorded a sack (4.85 points). Ben Roethlisberger (3.13 points) and Kareem Hunt (2.87) led the charge for LongShotzz in the loss. Str8CashHomey (2-0) will look to add to their success against Mario's Team, while LongShotzz (1-1) will face off against 'T-N-T' Treat'ยง in an effort to get back on track.
Jones was one of nine starters to overachieve for Str8CashHomey this week. He scored 5.68 points (168 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 68 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) in a 42-21 win over the Lions to more-than-double his 2.13-point projection.

Well done, Str8CashHomey. Nice work assembling a team that registered over 41 points this past week. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of LongShotzz, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
LongShotzz
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for LongShotzz collectively logged only three targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to set up some screen plays in Week 3!
