Michael's Misfits overcome starter's goose egg, beat Sandbagging in 158.36-134.14 rout

Despite a goose egg from Anthony Schwartz, Michael's Misfits were able to persevere and earn the victory, cruising to a 158.36-134.14 win over Sandbagging. Sandbagging got out to a 22.70-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Michael's Misfits after that. They were led by Tom Brady (276 Pass Yds, 5 Pass TDs) and Cooper Kupp (9 Rec, 163 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Sam Darnold (305 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Jared Goff (246 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 46 Rush Yds) carried the flag for Sandbagging in defeat. Michael's Misfits (1-1) will look to rack up another W against Butt Ruckers, while Sandbagging (0-2) will try to right the ship against Prestige Worldwide.

Coach Talk

Michael's Misfits
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Michael's Misfits. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Anthony Schwartz), while still getting the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Sandbagging
We'd suggest that you take this loss as a chance to learn and try to re-focus for next week, Sandbagging. Read up on what the Yahoo! Fantasy Experts are preaching and configure the strongest lineup possible in Week 3.
