Sorocaba Steelers Grinds Out Victory over Paulinia Robots, Pushes Them from 1st Place

This week’s two highest-scoring teams met in a shootout as Sorocaba Steelers snuck by Paulinia Robots 132.90 to 131.06. This is the four loss in recent years where Paulinia Robots has lost to Sorocaba Steelers despite a high score. The loss drops Paulinia Robots to 3-1 (3rd place) and breaks their three-game winning streak. The score from Sorocaba Steelers was a bit surprising given that they were only projected to score 91.72 points. Paulinia Robots scored 113.0% of their expected 115.98. T.J. Hockenson (179 Rec Yds, 2 TD) got the highest score of the week (39.90) and Tyreek Hill scored 25.90 points to lead Sorocaba Steelers. Dameon Pierce (131 Rsh Yds, 1 TD) put up 25.90 points to score 140.9% more than projected (10.75) for Paulinia Robots. The gap could have been wider, as Sorocaba Steelers had a starter who didn’t score (Jameis Winston).

In Week 5, Sorocaba Steelers takes on London Knights (2-2, 352.60), while Paulinia Robots matches up against Rio Claro Farmers (4-0, 476.40).

Limeira Jetsons Pounds Sorocaba Wild Mules, Takes Top Spot in League

A push in prime time on both Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football wasn’t nearly enough for Sorocaba Wild Mules. They scored 30.30 points on SNF and 22.30 on MNF (combining to be 60% of their total score), but Limeira Jetsons still easily got the 127.40 to 87.56 victory. Limeira Jetsons was led by Tee Higgins this week, who provided 25.40 points (124 Rec Yds, 1 TD). Jamaal Williams also helped out with 23.90 points by getting two touchdowns (108 Rsh Yds, 2 TD). Limeira Jetsons (4-0, 512.80 points) climbs into first place, while Sorocaba Wild Mules (0-4, 376.02 points) stays in last place.

In addition to the fantasy victory, Limeira Jetsons was savvy enough to pick winners in real life, as well. Among all of their starters, the Detroit RB is the only one that played on a losing NFL team this week.

Next week, Limeira Jetsons takes on Amparo Bikers (1-3, 460.42), while Sorocaba Wild Mules matches up against Goncalves Miners (3-1, 420.46).
