KEVIN B's Team succumb to Woverines in 155.90-50.82 landslide

There's no sugarcoating it, KEVIN B's Team underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Woverines cruised to a 155.90-50.82 victory. KEVIN B's Team grabbed a 22.00-point lead on Thursday behind an outstanding effort from the Philadelphia Eagles defense. But it was all Woverines after that. They were led by the New England Patriots defense, who allowed only 3 points, surrendered 121 yards, and intercepted a pass for 53 points, and Tyreek Hill, who caught 7 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown (27.3 points). Woverines (4-5) will look to maintain their momentum against Mahomies R Here, while KEVIN B's Team (4-5) meet Sleestack's Team in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Woverines
Listen, Woverines, we do admire the confidence. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Tyler Higbee and Nyheim Hines), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try those shenanigans next week against Mahomies R Here and we'll be toast!
KEVIN B's Team
It's entirely possible that KEVIN B's Team would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 10 total targets in Week 9, their six starting pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
