Game Recaps

During this week’s game against the Madison Moose, the Fuegos won by about 80 points, which is the largest margin. Brady, Anderson, and Hunt from the Fuegos all had an amazing week. Nelson got hurt during the opening drive of the game, so it’s questionable if he will be playing or not next week. The big win for the Fuegos this week centered around Tom Brady, who had one of his best fantasy weeks of all time racking up 56.7 points alone. Their defense had a defensive touchdown and two interceptions, so it was big week for them as well. The Madison Moose were carried by Ben Roethlisberger, one of only four players eclipsing double-digit points.

Matchup Preview

  • The Bees have two good quarterbacks: Matt Ryan and Derek Carr, which may rack up points and potentially a win against the Fuegos.
  • The Harrisonburg Valley Bees have an all around solid core team, which could make it a tough week for the Fuegos.
  • Odell Beckham, Jr. is back in the game.
  • The Bees will struggle in defense next week.
  • The Fuegos tight end, J. Reed, didn’t practice Wednesday, meaning he could be out for the week.
  • Nelson had no restrictions at practice this week, meaning his injury may not disable him from playing this week.
