Despite top scorer Murray, Second half scrubs fall to U-25 All-Stars, 105.62-97.32

Kyler Murray accumulated 28.92 points for Second half scrubs, the best total in the matchup and fourth-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple U-25 All-Stars, who secured a 105.62-97.32 victory. U-25 All-Stars earned a 26.12-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from Kirk Cousins (343 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Calvin Ridley (6 Rec, 61 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and never looked back. Kyler Murray (188 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 74 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and George Kittle (7 Rec, 109 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the leading performers for Second half scrubs in the loss. U-25 All-Stars (4-2) will look to rack up another win against Patrick Mahomeless, while Second half scrubs (2-4) will attempt to get back in the win column against Tanking for Trevor.

Coach Talk

U-25 All-Stars
Way to shrug off that two-game winless streak, U-25 All-Stars! Every fantasy team is sure to be hit with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
Second half scrubs
Uh, is point-shaving a thing in fantasy football? Was Kyler Murray facing himself in a fantasy matchup this past week? Did he decide to start the Cowboys Defense this week? With nine completions on 24 attempts, we've got some suspicions here.
