Hey, quick math, I’m winning this league πŸ–•πŸΌ - what's the result when you multiply six times zero? A pretty lucky win against Sad Sacks, if you ask us! Starting a half-dozen players who didn't record any points this past week... how did we get this victory?
Sad Sacks
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our 11 pass-catchers (eight WR and three TE) collectively got a grand total of 63 targets in Week 5. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 30 balls.
