Matchups Recap

Walker had plenty of opportunities for Paulinia Robots, but could only manage 17 total yards on 10 touches.

Burrow has now led Goncalves Miners in scoring in back-to-back weeks, and for three of the last five. To go along with the fantasy victory, Goncalves Miners was savvy enough to pick winners in real life, as well.

On the winning side, Breece Hall got 20 touches but only tallied 60 total yards, while Jerome Ford managed just 77 yards on 25 touches for Sorocaba Steelers. There are a couple of spots where Sorocaba Steelers wishes they could go back and change the past, as DeVonta Smith could have started in place of George Pickens and Gus Edwards in place of Isiah Pacheco. Either of those point differentials would’ve altered the outcome.

In addition to the fantasy W, London Knights was savvy enough to choose winners in real-life football, as well. Among all of their starters, DJ Moore was the only one whose NFL team didn’t win this past week. Hurts has now led London Knights in scoring for three straight weeks.
