SMOKE rolled to a 119.35-81.35 victory over People's Champion, knocking them out of the No. 1 position in Xtreme Fantasy Football. People's Champion got out to a 5.20-point lead on Thursday, but it was all SMOKE after that. They were led by Jalen Hurts (239 Pass Yds, 61 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Davante Adams (3 Rec, 124 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Travis Kelce (26.5 points) and Carson Wentz (24.45) did everything they could for People's Champion in defeat.

Coach Talk

SMOKE
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. In addition to dominating People's Champion at RB (41.4 points to 11.1), we also utterly dominated them at WR (30.3 to 5.3).
People's Champion
Registering four receptions on only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for People's Champion should remind their QBs to dump it off more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
