Way to go Nick!

Coach Anna had all of the star players for this game! Coach Andre's players landed under the 'Underachievers' label. The outcome is as expected.

Sometimes you just need to score more points to win

Ministry of Silly Walks vs Sports and Such

WINNER: Ministry of Silly Walks

PROJECTED SCORE: 109.1 - 117.0

FINAL SCORE: 151.4 - 127.0

Star Players:

SUCH	Tarik Cohen	FLEX	Chi	3.5 pts (-7.0 projected) from 25 yds; 0 TD; 1/1 REC

Coach Kristin beat the projections in week 2! She knows what ESPN's AlGoreRhythms don't! Coach Brandon was struck again with underachievers across the board (except the fantasy football god Patrick Mahomes who had 6 TDs).

Al Gore rhythms are not always good 

Mixon's I am not a Crab vs PNW Western WA East Siders

WINNER: Mixon's I am not a Crab

PROJECTED SCORE: 117.8 - 119.5

FINAL SCORE: 147.6 - 116.3

Star Players:

CRAB	Kirk Cousins	QB	Min	33.5 pts from 425 yds passing; 4 TD; 1 INT
CRAB	Travis Kelce	TE	KC	29.9 pts from 109 yds; 2 TD; 7/10 REC
Side	Brandin Cooks	FLEX	LAR	22.9 pts from 159 yds; 0 TD; 7/9 REC

Underachievers:

Side	Greg Zuerlein	K	LAR	0.0 pts (-9.5 projected) from 0/0 field goals; 0/0 XP
Side	Ravens D/ST	D/ST	FA	-2.0 pts (-8.1 projected) from 34 PA;
CRAB	Dion Lewis	FLEX	Ten	5.3 pts (-7.3 projected) from 43 yds; 0 TD; 1/1 REC

We all know why coach Brandon lost this week. He lost the battle of the kickers. Robbie Gould hit 3 field goals, 2 from a distance. Greg Zuerlein, a god among kickers, was out with a groin strain. With his solid performance from QBs and TEs, coach Patrick remains undefeated and off to a great start this season.

Taco Tuesdays vs Hamtown Hamboys

WINNER: Taco Tuesdays

PROJECTED SCORE: 132.1 - 104.5

FINAL SCORE: 124.5 - 88.1

TACO	Todd Gurley II	RB	LAR	32.3 pts from 73 yds; 3 TD; 19 RUNS
TACO	Michael Thomas	WR	NO	30.9 pts from 89 yds; 2 TD; 12/13 REC
HAM	Davante Adams	WR	GB	20.4 pts from 64 yds; 1 TD; 8/12 REC

Underachievers:

TACO	Rob Gronkowski	TE	NE	3.5 pts (-12.5 projected) from 15 yds; 0 TD; 2/4 REC
HAM	Chris Boswell	K	Pit	2.0 pts (-7.4 projected) from 0/1 field goals; 3/4 XP
HAM	Duke Johnson Jr.	FLEX	Cle	3.0 pts (-6.8 projected) from 10 yds; 0 TD; 2/2 REC

Coach Shane also keeps his winning streak alive thanks to everyone except Gronk and the Eagles defense. The Ham'd boys had a struggle this week from a few different players, but the good news is that Damore'ea Stringfellow still has the best name of anyone on any team.
