Fantasy Recaps – Game of the Week
October Hunters (123.6) at Z-Squad (103.2)
(MyFantasyLeague.com Fantasy Times Sources – Dec 23, 2024) In a week 16 UFFLE playoff showdown, the 9-5 October Hunters pummeled a tough 10-4 Z-Squad team by a score of 123.60 to 103.20, silencing a partisan crowd of 65,033 at Frozen Tundra.
October Hunters were helped out by a 26.10 point effort from James Cook, who got by the New England Patriots defense for 100 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD in addition to 26 receiving yards. With this performance, Cook was the number 5 ranked running back for week 16. They also got help from a 25.80 point effort from Jared Goff, who beat the Chicago Bears defense for 336 passing yards and 3 passing TDs.
“This team shows a lot of character,” October Hunters coach Orion Bell said.
Z-Squad were helped out by a 25.40 point effort from Kyler Murray, who got by the Carolina Panthers defense for 202 passing yards and 1 passing TD in addition to 63 rushing yards. With this performance, Murray was the number 6 ranked quarterback for week 16. They also got help from a 23.40 point effort from Jahmyr Gibbs, who beat the Chicago Bears defense for 109 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD in addition to 45 receiving yards.
“We dug ourselves a deep hole,” Z-Squad coach Joshua Brecht said.
Causing further embarrassment, Z-Squad could have scored 129.90 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but Joshua Brecht left key players like Deebo Samuel and his corresponding 21.60 points on the bench.
Z-Squad drew the short straw with their schedule this week, as their point total would have resulted in a win against 2 out of 3 other potential opponents in week 16.
Coming up in week 17, October Hunters are at the 11-3 The Undergarments, where The Undergarments are an early 25.5-point favorite.
