Barao Butchers Gets Victory Against Limeira Jetsons

Barao Butchers logged the highest score of the week and got past Limeira Jetsons 132.64 to 125.94. Limeira Jetsons is not on the same level as Barao Butchers, who extended their career unbeaten streak to two games in the series. Justin Jefferson led Limeira Jetsons with 23.30 points (133 Rec Yds, 1 TD) while DeVonta Smith brought in 20.60 (76 Rec Yds, 1 TD). Limeira Jetsons needs results from fourth-round draft pick Amari Cooper, who has scored 3.60 points and 4.10 points the past two weeks. Barao Butchers (1-1, 235.08 points) moves into seventh place and Limeira Jetsons (1-1, 242.90 points) winds up in sixth place.

There was one starter on Limeira Jetsons who wasn’t fully in tune with his QB. Despite being targeted eight times, Amari Cooper could manage just three catches. One slot where Limeira Jetsons is wishing they could get a do-over is WR. Darnell Mooney could have started in place of Cooper, and that point difference would’ve altered the outcome.

Barao Butchers gets Amparo Bikers (2-0, 215.98) in Week 3, while Limeira Jetsons matches up with Sorocaba Steelers (1-1, 233.86).
