Odin' Slayers III fall to Justice League, 110.8-105.6

There's no sugarcoating it, Odin' Slayers III underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Justice League came out on top with a 110.8-105.6 victory. Justice League never trailed in this one after nabbing a 1.3-point lead on Thursday behind Rob Gronkowski (10.5 points). Deshaun Watson (375 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 40 Rush Yds) and David Johnson (55 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 16 Rec Yds) led the charge for Odin' Slayers III in the loss. Justice League (3-2) will look to sustain their momentum against Phelony's Team, while Odin' Slayers III (2-3) attempt to generate some positive momentum against The GodFather.

Coach Talk

Justice League
Good work assembling a lineup that tallied almost 111 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of Odin' Slayers III, take this win in stride, and continue the march towards the Yahoo Public 54166 league title.
Odin' Slayers III
Unless Odin' Slayers III wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" is not an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 33 targets in Week 5. With only 20 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
