JDs Autodraft scrubs
"Four score and seven points ago, our players brought forth, upon this fantasy matchup..." Wait, that's not how it goes (and unfortunately for us, not all fantasy squads are created equal). Our 87-point showing wasn't enough to get the win this week. Continue pushing forward, JDs Autodraft scrubs, for as the great Abraham Lincoln once said: "You cannot fail unless you quit."
