Despite top scorer Stafford, Rachel's Team fall to Sherlock Mahomes, 139-131

Matthew Stafford posted 30 points for Rachel's Team, the best total in the matchup and third-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Sherlock Mahomes, who earned a 139-131 win. Sherlock Mahomes never trailed in this one after taking an 8-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind the Cleveland Browns defense (21 points) and Joe Burrow (20). Matthew Stafford (343 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Saquon Barkley (51 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 43 Rec Yds) led the charge for Rachel's Team in the loss. Sherlock Mahomes (1-1) will look to notch another win against JTime, while Rachel's Team (0-2) will try to get their first win against Raider Nation.

Coach Talk

Sherlock Mahomes
You know what, Sherlock Mahomes, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Jamison Crowder), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. Try those shenanigans next week against JTime and see what happens!
Rachel's Team
Trust me on this one, Rachel's Team... Seeing as I'm a coach who's lived life on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that scrappy Graduate Assistant gig available at the community college down the road!
