Reapers smirk at predictions, earn win over Jaire's Island in 221.69-143.11 rout
Reapers outperformed their projected point total, cruising to a 221.69-143.11 win over Jaire's Island, who fell short of projections. Reapers pulled out to a 23.00-point lead on Thursday behind Sterling Shepard (17.5 points) and Logan Ryan (9) and never let it go. Kirk Cousins (244 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 35 Rush Yds) and Ezekiel Elliott (71 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 26 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Jaire's Island in the loss. Reapers (2-0) will look to add to their success against Jagernauts, while Jaire's Island (0-2) face Fantasy Fools in an effort to get back on track.
Kupp was one of six starters to overachieve for Reapers this week. He scored 43.8 points (9 Rec, 163 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) against the Colts in Week 2 to more-than-double his 16.67-point projection. Kupp ranks #5 among all fantasy players this season and will face the Buccaneers next week.

Reapers
You know what, Reapers, we do certainly respect the confidence. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Ed Oliver and Jamison Crowder), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Jaire's Island
Posting only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Jaire's Island clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
