Orange Nation fall short of expectations, succumb to ATLiens Vaxxxed Edition in 216.69-125.32 runaway

There's no sugarcoating it, Orange Nation underperformed, at least according to projections, as ATLiens Vaxxxed Edition rolled to a 216.69-125.32 win. ATLiens Vaxxxed Edition earned a 7.98-point lead on Thursday behind the Washington Football Team defense (13 points) and Saquon Barkley (8.35) and never gave it up. Aaron Rodgers (255 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Julio Jones (6 Rec, 128 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Orange Nation in the loss. ATLiens Vaxxxed Edition (1-1) will look to sustain their winning ways against Texasseans, while Orange Nation (0-2) attempt to earn their first W against Bring It!.

Coach Talk

ATLiens Vaxxxed Edition
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Orange Nation at the wide receiver position (65.67 points to 26.84).
Orange Nation
Hey, it's possible that Orange Nation may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 16 total targets in Week 2, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
