Smiley Face! had the premier scorer in the matchup with RB Mike Davis accumulating 29.9 points, the third-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome OnlyCams, who squeaked by for a 127.46-123.20 win. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as OnlyCams led 122.66-81.60 heading into Monday night. Smiley Face! closed the gap behind Jonnu Smith (5 Rec, 40 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Stefon Diggs (10 Rec, 106 Rec Yds). OnlyCams were led by Adam Thielen (29.3 points) and Ben Roethlisberger (27.36).

Coach Talk

OnlyCams
Nice job shrugging off that three-game losing streak, OnlyCams! Every fantasy GM will surely be hit with adversity somewhere along the way... keep pushing forward and remember the 2020 season is far from over.
Smiley Face!
Trust us, Smiley Face!... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with distasteful interview questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
