Standings Update
Time flies when you're having fun. That's how we feel about the fantasy football season, which is already at the halfway point. How about we refresh the Standings?
Loonies
There's plenty of time left to make a move, but it's hard to count on Loonies making a run up the Standings if they don't start scoring more. The team has some work to do in order to get into playoff position after averaging only 281.61 points per game through eight weeks, 12th-best in the league.
