Smooth Moves by PITCH

• Reading this matchup recap is indicative of potential Toyota Hall of Famers. You're making PITCH look really good right now.
• Lean, mean, and haunting your dreams. The Miami Dolphins Defense was a terror this week, accounting for 30.00 points. It was the highest DEF score of the week and the fifth-highest score among DEF in the league this season.
• We won't judge you if you want to bow to Ezekiel Elliott. He ranked seventh in the league in scoring with 27.80 points.
• Took Gary Barnidge out of the starting lineup, who scored 5.50 points on the bench, fewer than the starting TE.
• Look, there in the sky. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's just Michael Thomas posterizing opponents. He had the eighth-highest score of any WR in the league this week with 18.20 points.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• It's okay to regret not taking a sick day to study the Toyota Hall of Fame's articles. But it's not okay to do it again.
• Made a mistake in not starting Ty Montgomery, who ranked third in the league in scoring and topped his scoring projection by 159.4%, the fifth-highest percentage in the league.
• With 3.80 points, Rashad Jennings was last on the team in scoring and got only 30.3% of his 12.54 projected points, his lowest percentage of the season.
• Who needs offense when the defense is so dominant!? $OONER$ got outscored 30.00 - 13.00 by PITCH at the DEF position.
• It's times like these when it's important to support your players when they're down. So move the mouse pointer away from the DROP button. Aaron Rodgers scored a season-low 10.50 points, 49.8% of his projected 21.07, which is his lowest percentage of the year.
