Unable to overcome starter's goose egg, WarEagle fall to SAWTOOTHS in 161.40-140.25 rout

Hindered by a goose egg from Corey Davis, WarEagle were unable to overcome SAWTOOTHS, which rolled to a 161.40-140.25 win. WarEagle pulled out to a 9.85-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all SAWTOOTHS after that. They were led by Christian McCaffrey (69 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 82 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Cam Newton (274 Pass Yds, 16 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs). Deshaun Watson (31.05 points) and Christian Kirk (23.1) carried the flag for WarEagle in defeat.

Coach Talk

SAWTOOTHS
Way to shrug off that six-match losing skid, SAWTOOTHS! Every fantasy team is sure to be met with adversity at some point or another... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
WarEagle
Unless WarEagle wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 41 targets in Week 9. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 22 balls.
