RJ defeat 2nd Stringers for 10th straight win in 149.40-92.34 blowout

RJ extended their win streak to 10 games with a dominant win over 2nd Stringers, cruising to a 149.40-92.34 victory. It was the fifth consecutive loss for 2nd Stringers. RJ earned an early 7.60-point lead on Thursday. 2nd Stringers came back to take the lead during the early slate on Sunday, powered by Zonovan Knight (14.3 points) and the Baltimore Ravens defense (12.6). Not to be deterred, RJ made a run later that afternoon, as Davante Adams (39.7 points) and Justin Herbert (23.1) put them back on top once and for all. This marks the first time this season RJ have beaten 2nd Stringers, after falling 159.02-105.96 in their last matchup. RJ (11-2) will look to keep it rolling against TRWDesign, while 2nd Stringers (4-9) will try to get back on track against RogueBeasts.

Coach Talk

RJ
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling 2nd Stringers at the wide receiver position (58.4 points to 20.2).
2nd Stringers
There's a chance that 2nd Stringers may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 14 total targets in Week 13, their four starting pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
