Comeback Kid lose to Jaguar Steelers in 93-45 drubbing

There's no easy way to say it, Comeback Kid underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Jaguar Steelers rolled to a 93-45 win. It didn't take long to figure out who would have the advantage in this one, as Jaguar Steelers jumped out to a 48-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 36 points from CeeDee Lamb (12 Rush Yds, 94 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and the Indianapolis Colts defense (17 Pts Allowed, 331 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). Tom Brady (14 points) and Justin Jefferson (14) led the charge for Comeback Kid in defeat. Jaguar Steelers (5-5) will look to build on their success against Buy 5 Save 5, while Comeback Kid (3-7) will meet Lazarus in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

Jaguar Steelers
You know what, Jaguar Steelers, we do certainly admire the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (A.J. Green), while still earning the W! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Comeback Kid
Well, Comeback Kid, this week's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Starting multiple zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just assume it won't happen again and move on?
