Instant Kamara rolled to a 168.56-71.32 victory to hand Raykins their third straight loss.

Patrick Mahomes (358 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 45 Rush Yds) and Stefon Diggs (8 Rec, 33 Rec Yds) did their part for Raykins in the loss. Instant Kamara (6-1) will look to keep it rolling against Packer backer, while Raykins (3-4) attempt to right the ship against Magic Michael.
