Smooth Moves by Hooligans

• Hooligans scored massive brownie points with the Toyota Hall of Fame this week. Too bad brownie points don't count as real points. Not that you need help.
• LeGarrette Blount led the team in scoring with 22.50 points, the second-highest score of any player on Hooligans this season.
• Steve Smith Sr. scored a season-high 16.70 points and beat his scoring projection by 49.9%, which also is a season-high.
• With only 3 of their 8 starters beating their projected points, Hooligans was still able to win.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Somehow, all of your players had two bye weeks this week. The Toyota Hall of Fame calls that a bye bye week. Yes, it's a bad joke, but it's still better than your score.
• Ryan Mathews had the lowest point total in the matchup with -0.50 points.
• Hate to point fingers for why a team loses, but RIGHT HERE. Blake Bortles had a season-low 10.40 points against a projected 20.27 and scored below his projection for the second time this season.
• With a season-low 3.30 points versus a projected 9.28, Julius Thomas failed to meet his projection for the first time this season.
• Note to self: don't start a player when they're going to have their worst game of the season. Amari Cooper had a season-low 10.20 points against a projected 15.90 and underachieved for the second time this season.

What If

• If Hooligans played Bigg Squad every week, they would be 2-1 this season.
• Hooligans would have lost to every other team in the league besides Bigg Squad this week.
• Had they played each other last week, Hooligans would have defeated Bigg Squad 108.10 - 98.85.

• If Hooligans had played every team in the league each week, they would be 9-36.
