Fred fall to Towns in 107.66-77.34 rout

There's no way around it, Fred didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Towns cruised to a 107.66-77.34 win. Fred got out to a 9.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Towns after that. They were led by Travis Kelce (7 Rec, 109 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Tom Brady (234 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rush Yds). Jimmy Garoppolo (206 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Brandin Cooks (7 Rec, 159 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Fred in defeat. Towns (1-1) will look to maintain their momentum against goodspeed, while Fred (0-2) will match up against LEGENDZQH in an effort to get back on track.
