  • The Houston Texans Defense had -1.00 point against a projected 5.78 to finish last in the league in scoring and has now underachieved in six straight games.

Consolation: Rock Crushers Tops NewEngland Deflators

Rock Crushers took advantage of the second-highest player point total in the league this week from Dion Lewis (31.50) and beat NewEngland Deflators 100.80 to 90.89.

Smooth Moves by Rock Crushers

  • Rock Crushers, winning proved that NewEngland Deflators is no matchup for you. But the Toyota Hall of Fame would prove that no Fantasy players are your equal.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • In Fantasy Football, you win some, you lose some. Not for Toyota Hall of Famers. They mostly just win. But still.

Game Notes

  • Rock Crushers won but failed to cover the 17.98-point spread, winning by 9.91 points.

  • Not going to name names, but some people here aren’t pulling their weight. Forget it, A.J. Green needs to step it up! He scored 5.40 points against a projected 7.55 in the win, and has now scored below his projection in three straight games.
  • Rock Crushers won even though NewEngland Deflators performed better against their scoring projection. NewEngland Deflators scored 95.8% of their 94.86 projected points, while Rock Crushers recorded 89.3% of their 112.84-point projection.
