Triple H fall to Top of The Rock in 130.30-96.12 romp

There's no way around it, Triple H underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Top of The Rock cruised to a 130.30-96.12 victory. Triple H earned a 10.62-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all Top of The Rock after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes (360 Pass Yds, 5 Pass TDs) and Michael Pittman Jr. (9 Rec, 121 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Jalen Hurts (24.72 points) and Joe Mixon (18) did everything they could for Triple H in the loss. Top of The Rock (1-0) will look to add to their success against Romeo Reigns, while Triple H (0-1) meet Stone Cold Bosstrin in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Top of The Rock
Props to you, Top of The Rock. Putting together a starting crew that logged more than 130 points in Week 1. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Triple H, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Triple H
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 25 targets in Week 1. With just 10 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
