 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.

  • 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
