Smooth Moves by TexasTide

• TexasTide, winning proved that Killer Beas is no matchup for you. But the Toyota Hall of Fame would prove that no Fantasy players are your equal.
• Adam Vinatieri scored 11.00 points against a projected 5.87 and has now overachieved in three straight games.
• By scoring 11.20 points, Matt Forte beat his 9.15 projected points by 22.4%.
• With only 3 of their 8 starters beating their projected points, TexasTide was still able to win.
• TexasTide won even though both of their TEs scored below their projected points.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• In Fantasy Football, you win some, you lose some. Not for Toyota Hall of Famers. They mostly just win. But still.
• Left the Dallas Cowboys Defense on the bench, where they exceeded their scoring projection by a league-leading 263.6%.
• TexasTide had their fewest points of the season, but Killer Beas could not pull out the win.
• Jameis Winston was last in the matchup in scoring with a season-low -0.20 points.
• It was a season-low scoring total for Devin Funchess, who had 3.10 points. He had a projected total of 13.97 points and this week was the third straight game of underperformance versus his projection.
