Lo-Ki Winners knock off We Are Groot in 166.22-94.56 rout
Lo-Ki Winners outperformed expectations, cruising to a 166.22-94.56 win over We Are Groot, who fell short of projections. Lo-Ki Winners nabbed a 13.90-point lead on Thursday behind Austin Ekeler and never looked back. Rashod Bateman (4 Rec, 108 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Joe Burrow (199 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 26 Rush Yds) were the leaders for We Are Groot in defeat. Lo-Ki Winners (1-1) will look to get another W against Chubbernaut, while We Are Groot (1-1) try to get back on track against Thanos' Super Snappers.

Lo-Ki Winners
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Fueled by an awesome display by Lamar Jackson, we almost tripled We Are Groot at the quarterback position this past week (49.62 points to 17.56). Jackson may not have gotten the win for the Ravens, but he sure gave us a leg up by completing 21 of 29 passes for 318 yards and three TDs.
We Are Groot
Unless We Are Groot wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a whopping 27 targets in Week 2. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group pulled down only 15 receptions.
