Offensively challenged Sirens knock off Fantasy King, 75.74-44.50

While they posted only the 11th-highest point total in the league for the week, Sirens emerged victorious with a 75.74-44.50 win over Fantasy King. Sirens jumped out to a 25.64-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from Marcus Mariota (186 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 43 Rush Yds) and DJ Moore (4 Rec, 29 Rec Yds) and never looked back. Amon-Ra St. Brown (22.1 points) and Darrell Henderson Jr. (10.2) were the leaders for Fantasy King in the loss.

Coach Talk

Sirens
Well Sirens, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 31 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through nine weeks was 109.29. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Fantasy King
There's a real possibility that Fantasy King may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 12 targets as a group this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
