DemonApps top Lambinators for fourth straight win in 134.58-91.12 drubbing

Despite similar records, DemonApps held a significant season point advantage over Lambinators coming into this one (624-471), and they lived up to their reputation with a convincing win, cruising to a 134.58-91.12 victory. Lambinators earned a 10.32-point lead on Thursday, but it was all DemonApps after that. They were led by Leonard Fournette (56 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 83 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Derrick Henry (102 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 30 Rec Yds). Jakobi Meyers (7 Rec, 111 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Stefon Diggs (8 Rec, 102 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did their part for Lambinators in defeat. DemonApps (4-1) have now won four straight and will look to maintain their winning ways against NoPuntIntended. Lambinators (3-2) will meet Touchdown Tigers in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

DemonApps
Nice job assembling a starting crew that won by a whopping 43.46 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Lambinators, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Lambinators
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting RBs for Lambinators collectively recorded only zero receptions on two measly targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 6!
