Quaran-TEAM lose to Second half scrubs in 95.90-32.08 rout

There's no way around it, Quaran-TEAM didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Second half scrubs cruised to a 95.90-32.08 win. Second half scrubs got out to a 3.70-point lead on Thursday behind Jonathan Taylor and never looked back. Jared Goff (302 Pass Yds) and Mason Crosby (1-1 FG, 39 long, 3-3 XP) were the leaders for Quaran-TEAM in defeat. Second half scrubs (5-5) will look to maintain their momentum against BOOM!, while Quaran-TEAM (3-7) attempt to get back in the win column against Patrick Mahomeless.

Coach Talk

Second half scrubs
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Not only did we almost triple Quaran-TEAM at QB (30.9 points to 10.48), we also royally dominated them at WR (27.3 to 3.6).
Quaran-TEAM
It's entirely possible that Quaran-TEAM may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 14 targets combined in Week 10, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
