Daniels's Dandy Team come up short of projections, succumb to GTK2 in 125.8-76.5 landslide

There's no sugarcoating it, Daniels's Dandy Team didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as GTK2 rolled to a 125.8-76.5 victory. Daniels's Dandy Team grabbed a 7.2-point lead on Thursday, but it was all GTK2 after that. They were led by Michael Pittman Jr. (9 Rec, 121 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Michael Thomas (5 Rec, 57 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Davante Adams (25.1 points) and the Buffalo Bills defense (17) led the way for Daniels's Dandy Team in the loss. GTK2 (1-0) will look to notch another win against Tossin' TDs, while Daniels's Dandy Team (0-1) match up against Tyler C's Crazy Team in an effort to right the ship.
