Dillon Panthers come up short of predictions, succumb to Rebellion in 111.82-88.50 blowout
There's no easy way to say it, Dillon Panthers underperformed, at least according to projections, as Rebellion rolled to a 111.82-88.50 win. Rebellion earned an early 4.00-point lead on Thursday. Dillon Panthers came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by Michael Thomas (15.5 points) and Christian McCaffrey (14.8). Unphased, Rebellion rallied at the last minute on Monday night, as Jalen Hurts (34.02 points) put them back ahead for good. Rebellion (1-1) will look to rack up another W against Blitzburgh, while Dillon Panthers (1-1) try to get some positive momentum against High Fives.
Bateman was one of four starters to overachieve for Rebellion this week. He scored 18.8 points (4 Rec, 108 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) against the Dolphins in Week 2 to beat his 10.2-point projection. Bateman ranks #39 among all fantasy players this season and will face the Patriots next week.
