bunkstraps fall to THE BOSS in 139-75 rout

There's no easy way to put it, bunkstraps dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as THE BOSS rolled to a 139-75 win. bunkstraps got out to a 10-point lead on Thursday, but it was all THE BOSS after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes (462 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 28 Rush Yds) and Aaron Rodgers (211 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 12 Rush Yds). A.J. Brown (21 points) and Josh Allen (19) carried the flag for bunkstraps in defeat. This marks the second time this season THE BOSS have knocked off bunkstraps, after winning 136-118 in their last matchup. THE BOSS (9-3) will look to add to their success against Christmas Miracle, while bunkstraps (4-8) face LarryDavidShrimp in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

THE BOSS
Nice job overcoming that two-game losing skid, THE BOSS! Every fantasy GM will surely be met with adversity at some point or another... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
bunkstraps
Hey, it's possible that bunkstraps would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just eight targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
