FINAL SCORE: Bronsdon 173, Nooney 145.4

If you thought Lee Vowell had a great match, just wait until you see the week Lookout Landing’s Grant Bronsdon had.

Seven starters with 10-plus points, including three over 20. The biggest contributor of all, of course, being Tyreek Hill and his insane 42.3 point, three touchdown performance. Bronsdon needed every bit of it, as Sodo Mojo contributor Jeff Nooney gave him everything he could handle.

Nooney posted the third highest score of the week, yet walked away with a loss. His team, led by Drew Brees’ 31.6 point game against the Bucs, put him in position to win almost any game this week; but the fantasy football gods are often rarely kind, and Nooney experienced that firsthand.

The Chiefs-Chargers 38-28 shootout was key in Bronsdon’s success, as Hill, Keenan Allen, and Melvin Gordon combined for a whopping 94.7 points. Sheesh.

What’s even scarier is how well Bronsdon’s bench did this past week. Randall Cobb (29.2), Adrian Peterson (22.6), and DeSean Jackson (31.6) all missed Bronsdon’s starting lineup; had they started, Bronsdon would have easily put up well over 200 points on the day.
