Gridiron Gladiators
Assembling a lineup that tallied over 138 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of 98 DarkPink Balloons, and continue the march towards the Fantasy Football 2021 league championship.

It's entirely possible that 98 DarkPink Balloons could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 13 targets combined this past week, their four wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
