Smooth Moves by Hooligans

• A win like that is a great first step, Hooligans. A baby step toward the ultimate achievement: becoming a Toyota Hall of Famer.
• Hooligans won despite having only 2 of their 8 starters exceed their projected points.
• Look, there in the sky. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's just Tyler Lockett posterizing opponents. He had the eighth-highest score of any WR in the league this week with 19.58 points.
• The 19.85 points scored by Tom Brady led the team, the fifth time that's happened this season.
• Hooligans managed their team well, winning with five players on the bench and not playing this week.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• It's OK, Porky Pigmy Pyxies. Losing happens. Not necessarily to Toyota Hall of Famers, but to other folks, sure.
• Picked up Coby Fleener, who was last on the team in scoring with 0.90 points, only 11.9% of his projected point total, which was also the lowest percentage on the team.
• All that glitters is not gold. Picked up Giorgio Tavecchio, who scored 2.00 points against his projected 6.78.
• Porky Pigmy Pyxies had 7 of their 8 starters score less than their projected points.
• This is how people lose everything in casinos. Porky Pigmy Pyxies thought their luck would change and went back to the well with Keenan Allen. However, he scored 10.10 points against a projected 16.60 and has now underachieved in four straight games.

Game Notes
