Teddy Bridgewater (13.6 points) and Le'Veon Bell (11.8) led the way for Scar's Squad in defeat.

Coach Talk

The Corporate Clowns
Wow, The Corporate Clowns, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. In addition to a 51.42-point victory, you also jumped up from 11th place to eighth in the league standings!
Scar's Squad
It's entirely possible that Scar's Squad may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 14 targets as a group in Week 6, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
