Despite making the fewest roster moves in the league, Bindy has fielded good teams Management activism does not necessarily lead to team success
Dylan’s team blows…
Dylan’s team blows…
…  but he takes Bindy in a comeback victory! Turner & Giants D lead way as Bindy takes early lead over Dylan (despite huge day from Housh) Bo Scaife and Joe Nedney chip away at Bindy’s lead Subpar day from Tony Romo  barely outpaces Roy Williams Marshawn Lynch cuts lead Bindy’s lead to 3 at the half… …  and leads Dylan to a 10 point victory! Lee Evans does not get a reception.

Dylan beats Bingo/Andy/Gage, 103-93.42 Highlights Tommy = 1-2 Bindy starts DeAngelo Williams over LdT… and it works! Strong performances from Michael Turner and Giants Otherwise, uninspiring performances all around 56% of Dylan’s points came from Tim Houshmandzadeh and Marshawn Lynch And there’s nobody else on his roster that you care about or would ever start Dylan has won two straight! Bindy’s playoff hopes now are now seriously in doubt
