The Boss fall short of expectations, succumb to ATL Steel Town, 109.00-99.86

There's no way around it, The Boss underdelivered, at least based on projections, as ATL Steel Town came out on top with a 109.00-99.86 victory. The Boss nabbed a 33.70-point lead on Thursday behind 37.9 points from Dallas Goedert (8 Rec, 100 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Dameon Pierce (139 Rush Yds). But ATL Steel Town held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Cooper Kupp (26.8 points) and Jaylen Waddle (19.5). ATL Steel Town (4-5) will look to notch another win against Action Jackson, while The Boss (4-5) meet Money In The Bank in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

ATL Steel Town
Way to shrug off that two-game losing streak, ATL Steel Town! Every fantasy GM is faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and remember the 2022 season is far from over.
The Boss
With only a pair of receptions on four targets this past week, the starting RBs for The Boss should remind their QBs to dump it off more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
