Unable to overcome multiple busts, M.A.S.K. fall to Deshaun of the Dead, 146.32-134.02

Coach Talk

Deshaun of the Dead
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by over 12 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of M.A.S.K., and continue pushing forward to a fantasy championship.
M.A.S.K.
Fortunately, M.A.S.K., Week 1's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Starting Colin Jones and Jonathan Greenard in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
