The Comeback Kid smirk at expectations, defeat Magic Skol Bus in 130.20-92.64 romp
The Comeback Kid brought their A game and beat expectations, rolling to a 130.20-92.64 win over Magic Skol Bus, who fell short of projections. Magic Skol Bus leapt out to a 30.80-point lead on Thursday behind stellar efforts from Deebo Samuel, who racked up 191 yards from scrimmage for 19.1 points, and Jeff Wilson Jr., who racked up 57 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (11.7 points). But The Comeback Kid held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Joe Mixon (65 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 70 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the Miami Dolphins defense (3 Pts Allowed, 164 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers). This marks the second time this season The Comeback Kid have knocked off Magic Skol Bus, after winning 92.84-63.28 in their last matchup.
The Dolphins defense (3 Pts Allowed, 164 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) scored 25 points against the Saints in Week 16. Their scoring output more-than-tripled their 8.02-point projection and was much higher than their 13-point season scoring average. The Dolphins defense ranks #100 among all fantasy players this season and will face the Titans next week.

The Comeback Kid
Hey, we admire the confidence, The Comeback Kid. Starting a player with zero points (DeVante Parker), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant.
