David's Daring Team wins with a quarterback who scored negative points

Kyler Murray finishes at -0.38, the Browns defense at -1.0, and David's Daring Team still posts the second-highest score in the league. Imagine if it had tried.

By the SmackWire Editorial Board · 300 BPS · Week 1

Kyler Murray scored -0.38 points. Not 0.38. Negative. David's Daring Team started a quarterback who made the team worse by participating, then doubled down with a Browns defense that scored -1.0. Two starters, below zero, both chosen.

And it didn't matter. Derrick Henry scored 35.3, Chris Olave 28.2 and Isaiah Likely 27.8, and David's Daring Team finished with 136.42, second in the league. This is the fantasy equivalent of wearing sweatpants to a black-tie wedding and still getting seated at the head table.

Primandproper lost 136.42 to 116.2 with a stat line that can't decide what it wants to be. The Steelers defense scored 19.0, the best defensive score in the league and nearly four times what quarterback Matthew Stafford (4.10) and kicker Harrison Mevis (1.0) scored combined. Mevis was the lowest-scoring kicker in the league. The defense showed up. The kicker sent regrets.

Amon-Ra St. Brown scored 28.7, and his reward was losing by 20.22 to a team with a negative quarterback.

My Nek, My Dak scores 138.02 without a single Dak
