Josh's Swag Team fall short of predictions, succumb to ZERO in 1,532.0-815.5 rout

Josh's Swag Team failed to rise to the occasion, falling short of their projected point total, as ZERO rolled to a 1,532.0-815.5 victory. ZERO got out to a 147.0-point lead on Thursday behind the San Francisco 49ers defense and never looked back. Drew Brees (222 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Allen Robinson II (7 Rec, 81 Rec Yds) led the charge for Josh's Swag Team in defeat. This marks the second time this season ZERO have knocked off Josh's Swag Team, after winning 1,639-780 in their last matchup. ZERO (6-3) will look to get another W against Seattle Seahawks, while Josh's Swag Team (2-7) try to develop some positive momentum against KILLER CROCODILES.

Coach Talk

ZERO
Wow, ZERO, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Along with a 716.5-point victory, you also climbed a couple of spots in the league standings!
Josh's Swag Team
Hey, it's possible that Josh's Swag Team could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 11 targets as a group in Week 9, their four wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
