Despite top scorer Taylor, keith's Team fall to Steel City Irish in 161.75-123.75 blowout

Jonathan Taylor had 32.15 points for keith's Team, the best total in the matchup and 11th-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Steel City Irish, who cruised to a 161.75-123.75 victory. keith's Team nabbed a 28.40-point lead on Thursday behind Leonard Fournette, who racked up 127 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns. But it was all Steel City Irish after that. They were led by Derek Carr (341 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and the Los Angeles Rams defense (11 Pts Allowed, 261 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers). Steel City Irish (2-4) will look to keep it rolling against Lou's Team, while keith's Team (1-5) take on Steel City Divas in an effort to get some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

Steel City Irish
You know, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome outing from Derek Carr, we thoroughly outscored keith's Team at the quarterback position this past week (38.95 points to 15.45). Carr went 18-for-27 for 341 yards and two TDs in a 34-24 triumph over the Broncos.
keith's Team
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, keith's Team. Starting Dallas Goedert in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again.
