FantasyFootballTeam lose to Game of Jones in 148.16-114.62 runaway

There's no way around it, FantasyFootballTeam underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Game of Jones rolled to a 148.16-114.62 win. FantasyFootballTeam earned a 3.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Game of Jones after that. They were led by Lamar Jackson, who passed for 239 yards , ran for 107 yards and scored 3 touchdowns for 34.26 points, and Mike Evans, who caught 5 passes for 75 yards and 2 touchdowns (22 points). Kirk Cousins (244 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 35 Rush Yds) and Jimmy Garoppolo (189 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 20 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) were the leading performers for FantasyFootballTeam in defeat. Game of Jones (1-1) will look to maintain their momentum against Happy Golladays, while FantasyFootballTeam (1-1) will match up against ROID RAGERS INC. in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Game of Jones
Yo, Game of Jones, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 33.54 points, you also climbed from 11th place to ninth in the league standings. Nice work!
FantasyFootballTeam
FantasyFootballTeam will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 18 targets in Week 2. With just 11 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
