Despite top scorer Brady, Pantheon Hulks fall to Short Bus Ryderz, 105.40-99.06

Tom Brady accumulated 31.16 points for Pantheon Hulks, the best total in the matchup and third-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Short Bus Ryderz, who came from behind for a 105.40-99.06 win. Short Bus Ryderz trailed 92.06-85.40 heading into Monday night, but the unit came storming back behind Lamar Jackson (235 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 86 Rush Yds) and Mark Andrews (3 Rec, 20 Rec Yds). Tom Brady (31.16 points) and DeAndre Hopkins (20.3) did everything they could for Pantheon Hulks in defeat.

Coach Talk

Short Bus Ryderz
Mission accomplished, Short Bus Ryderz. Nice work fielding a lineup that tallied over 105 points in Week 1. We should keep this momentum going as we step into what ought to be a winnable matchup in Week 2.
Pantheon Hulks
Fortunately, Week 1's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Pantheon Hulks. Going with Brandon Aiyuk in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll consider this to be a learning experience and all agree that it won't happen again?
