Caz !@ fell short of projections while Skins on the Warpath showed up and exceeded their projected point total, but it wasn't enough to change the result.

Coach Talk

Caz !@
Listen Caz !@, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 120 points through Week 7, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 107 we needed for this past week's win!
Skins on the Warpath
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Skins on the Warpath. Choosing to start multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 107 points... we'll all just assume it won't happen again and move on?
