The wildcard teams from the U.S. and CW Division meet to determine who will face the #1 Holy Penguins and move up into the Premier Division next season. This game features the #1 and #2 QBs and RBs projected to score suggesting massive points in this week's game.
When these two teams met four weeks ago, Monster Army put up their best game of the season winning 159-109. They will need to do that again as the surging Strokes have won their last three games with an average of 135 points per game. The Strokes are already off to a good start with stud running back and Mr. #1 Pick Christian McCaffery posting 26 points, 9 points higher than projections.
Key In-Game Matchup: Jalen Hurts vs. Patrick Mahomes
The #1 and #2 QBs in the league meet Sunday and it is a good bet that whoever wins this matchup determines who moves on to the final four. Hurts has scored at least 30 fantasy points in three straight weeks, he should be an elite QB1 against a Bears D that is 18th against fantasy backs. On the other side, Takada and Mahomes have an interesting matchup as they contend against the Houston Texans' stout QB defense. Mahomes has not had less than 17 fantasy points in any game this season, he should still be an elite QB1 on the road.
Key In-Game Matchup: Christian McCaffery vs. Derick Henry
We already know what McCaffrey did last night against a weak Seahawks Defense by setting the tone for this Wild Card matchup. 26 points is a boost that few players can match. Luckily, Takada Monster Army has a hulk. Henry is an elite RB1 against a Chargers D this week that is just 28th against fantasy backs. Henry has only posted one 25+ point games this season, so he will need to overperform this weekend in order to keep the Monster Army alive.
