Jolly Dwarfs fall to FireStarter in 137.80-105.72 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Jolly Dwarfs dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as FireStarter cruised to a 137.80-105.72 victory. Jolly Dwarfs nabbed a 4.72-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all FireStarter after that. They were led by Keenan Allen (14 Rec, 148 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Derek Carr (285 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs). Jason Myers (5-5 FG, 54 long, 1-1 XP) and Saquon Barkley (125 Rush Yds, 21 Rec Yds) led the way for Jolly Dwarfs in the loss. This marks the first time this season FireStarter have knocked off Jolly Dwarfs, after falling 126.88-123.24 in their last matchup. FireStarter ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 4-9. Jolly Dwarfs (8-5) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.

Coach Talk

FireStarter
Way to shrug off that two-game losing skid, FireStarter! Every fantasy GM will surely be hit with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Jolly Dwarfs
Unless Jolly Dwarfs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 28 targets in Week 13. With only 12 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
