 Weekly Grade   Weekly Grade

Syracuse Express left it all on the field in this one and registered the second-highest point total this season to crush Liberty City Outlaws 142.95 to 98.76. Is this fantasy football or mixed martial arts? Because this 44.19-point margin of victory was nothing short of a beatdown and was the fourth-highest recorded in the league this season. Liberty City Outlaws was led by the tag team of Ezekiel Elliott, with 26.07 points, and Steve Smith Sr., who scored 18.40. To make matters worse, Liberty City Outlaws had a starter score zero points (Stephen Gostkowski).

Smooth Moves by Syracuse Express

  • The Toyota Hall of Fame would have its eyes on you for this week’s win. But the Toyota Hall of Fame doesn’t have eyes. Obviously.

  • Miss Cleo, is that you? The 15.00 points scored by the Seattle Seahawks Defense, which Syracuse Express picked up this week, beat their projected point total of 10.85 by 38.2%.
  • Syracuse Express is either a fortune teller or really knows their stuff. Terrelle Pryor Sr., who was picked up by Syracuse Express, scored 8.47 points against a projected 6.36, topping his projection by 33.2%.
  • There are rumors that the military wants to model a new all-terrain vehicle based off of DeMarco Murray. He had the fourth-highest score among RBs in the league this week with 23.10 points.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • 142.95 seems a lot higher when you’re on the losing side of it. And the Toyota Hall of Fame knows you know that.
  • Should have started the Cincinnati Bengals Defense, which beat their scoring projection with 18.00 points against a projected 10.58.
  • A heated blanket would be a great gift for Brandin Cooks during this cold streak. He scored below his projection in three straight games after scoring 2.07 points against a projected 8.23 this week.
  • The best offense is a good defense. Liberty City Outlaws got beat 15.00 – 7.00 by Syracuse Express at the DEF position.
  • It’s times like these when it’s important to support your players when they’re down. So move the mouse pointer away from the DROP button. The Arizona Cardinals Defense scored a season-low 7.00 points, 70.6% of their projected 9.91, which is their lowest percentage of the year.

  Weekly Grade  Weekly Grade

Georgia Bullies must have done something to anger the Fantasy Gods this week, as they lost to Rock Crushers 69.15 to 61.35.
