BEA$T MODE smirk at predictions, knock off The Corruptor in 133.16-84.04 landslide

BEA$T MODE stepped up and exceeded their projected point total, cruising to a 133.16-84.04 win over The Corruptor, who fell short of projections. The Corruptor jumped out to a 31.70-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from T.J. Hockenson (10.3 points) and Devin Singletary (8). But it was all BEA$T MODE after that. They were led by Jalen Hurts, who ran for 157 yards and passed for 153 yards and 2 touchdowns for 36.82 points, and Tee Higgins, who caught 7 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown (18.4 points). This marks the second time this season BEA$T MODE have gotten the best of The Corruptor, after winning 121.82-117.58 in their last matchup. BEA$T MODE (7-5) will look to sustain their momentum against DC Gunshot Victim, while The Corruptor (7-5) attempt to get back in the win column against THE CHIEFS.

Coach Talk

BEA$T MODE
Nice job shrugging off that three-game losing skid, BEA$T MODE! Each fantasy team is faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep showing resilience like this and take things one week at a time.
The Corruptor
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to see a healthy 22 targets in Week 12. With only 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
