The DFS Showdown: NFL Edition – Game 3

With the series tied at one-all, we move onto the third game of this best-of-seven series between Team Morning Grind (Stevietpfl & TheSeigeDfs) vs Team Chalk (Dean78904 & GiantballofOil).

Before the first kick-off, we had a lot of bickering between the two squads via Twitter. At first, there was confusion on which slate to go head-to-head on.

Both teams swapped challenges but none were accepted because each one wanted to play a different slate.
Team Morning Grind aka Team Crazy or as Dean78904 likes to call them Team Chalk Part Deux, laid down the law with this inspiring comment:

Once it was decided that they were to play the Sunday only slate, begrudgingly so, the two teams went into battle to see who’s roster construction was better.

Team MG tossed out a not so crazy line-up that had FIVE chalky players on it. If you look below at the two teams you’ll see who Team Chalk rostered, and there they are, all five of the chalky players in the chalk lineup.

This fired up Dean78904 and put Team Morning Grind on full blast.

The argument then ensued, a great back-and-forth from both teams made for an entertaining twitter fight.

Even GiantBallOfOil wrote about it in his Week 6 recap, see what he wrote here

At the end of the scrap, Stevietpfl left us with a statement that might be controversial to most but is, in fact, the truth.

At the end of the day, the whole contest was basically: Tavon Austin, Branden LaFell & Jimmy Graham vs Marvin Jones Jr., Jaelen Strong & Charles Clay.

Here is what they threw out for week 6:
