Hard Targets beat projections, come back to knock off Hangovers in 179.50-130.25 blowout

Hard Targets beat their projected point total, rolling to a 179.50-130.25 victory over Hangovers, who fell short of projections. Hard Targets nabbed an early 8.30-point lead on Thursday. Hangovers came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Dalvin Cook (26.1 points) and Aaron Rodgers (23.1). Not to be deterred, Hard Targets pulled it together when it mattered most on Monday night, as Patrick Mahomes (41.4 points) and Travis Kelce (33.5) put them back ahead once and for all. Hard Targets (4-1) will look to earn another W against AMMODOG, while Hangovers (1-4) will take on DARC NARC in an effort to generate some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

Hard Targets
So what if your team ultimately slid to third place in the standings this past week... the big take-away here is that you won the matchup. Maintain focus like this and good things will ultimately come.
Hangovers
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting backfield for Hangovers collectively registered four receptions on only five targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 6!
