Back-and-forth battle ends with Last Dance coming back to top Bob Russ in 125.40-88.32 landslide

Well, that was exciting! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Last Dance earned a dominant victory over Bob Russ, rolling to a 125.40-88.32 win. Bob Russ got out to an early 3.00-point lead on Thursday. Last Dance came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by outstanding efforts from Darrell Henderson Jr. (17.2 points) and Ja'Marr Chase (13.4). Unphased, Bob Russ pulled it together later that afternoon to take a 17.82-point lead behind Russell Wilson (27.32 points) and Calvin Ridley (19.3). But Last Dance came back again at the last minute on Monday night, as Aaron Rodgers (34.8 points) and Davante Adams (20.1) put them back ahead once and for all. Last Dance (1-1) will look to keep it rolling against Dak MeHoff, while Bob Russ (1-1) will match up against The Graveyard in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Last Dance
Whoa, now that's what we're talkin' about! A completion percentage of 81 percent for Aaron Rodgers this past week. Quality *and* quantity! The Lions secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the GM of Last Dance is thankful for the efficiency and attention to detail.
Bob Russ
The problem this week was pretty easy to spot, Bob Russ. Starting Jason Sanders in a tough fantasy matchup... let's deem this to be a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again.
