KINGER 3 defy predictions, knock off Thieves 2 in 111.50-71.08 rout

KINGER 3 brought their A game, rolling to a 111.50-71.08 victory over Thieves 2, who fell short of projections. It didn't take long to figure out who would have the advantage in this matchup, as KINGER 3 jumped out to a 31.80-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from Patrick Mahomes and Darrel Williams. Mahomes passed for 410 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 32 yards for 30.6 points, while Williams ran for 12 yards (1.2 points). Antonio Gibson (15.5 points) and Kirk Cousins (11.48) were the leaders for Thieves 2 in defeat. This marks the second time this season KINGER 3 have knocked off Thieves 2, after winning 156.28-128.1 in their last matchup. KINGER 3 (8-7) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs, while Thieves 2 (10-5) will attempt to bounce back and make a run of their own in the postseason.

Coach Talk

KINGER 3
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by a stellar outing by Patrick Mahomes, we thoroughly dominated Thieves 2 at the quarterback position this past week (30.6 points to 11.48). Mahomes went 31-for-47 for 410 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a six-point win over the Chargers.
Thieves 2
Well, Thieves 2, Week 15's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Starting the Green Bay Packers defense in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 111.5 points... let's all just move on from this and assume it's not going to happen again.
