Shane's Team defeat Who Cares in 101.80-68.98 rout

Shane's Team rose to the occasion, rolling to a 101.80-68.98 victory over Who Cares, who fell short of projections. Who Cares grabbed a 33.30-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from Davante Adams, who caught 10 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown for 28.3 points, and Robbie Gould, who made his only FG attempt (5 points). But it was all Shane's Team after that. They were led by Josh Allen (415 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 14 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Greg Zuerlein (4-4 FG, 45 long, 1-1 XP). Shane's Team (5-4) will look to notch another win against Nouri's Nice Team, while Who Cares (3-6) attempt to get back on track against Florence Troopers.

Coach Talk

Shane's Team
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Shane's Team! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve; our wide receivers were clearly outclassed by the opposition. Adam Thielen (38 total yards, no TDs) logged just 16.4 points in Week 9. The pass-catchers on Who Cares doubled us up with a score of 33.9. Let's persuade the offensive coordinator to get some more targets in Week 10!
Who Cares
Well, Who Cares, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start the San Francisco 49ers defense, Joe Mixon, and Zach Ertz in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again.
