Loopy Dingo's lose to Jim's Grand Team, 170-137

Loopy Dingo's nabbed a 35-point lead on Thursday behind 48 points from Patrick Mahomes (243 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Tyreek Hill (4 Rec, 46 Rec Yds). But Jim's Grand Team held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Tom Brady (279 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and Dalvin Cook (136 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 27 Rec Yds).

Coach Talk

Jim's Grand Team
Deploying a lineup that accounted for 170 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum as we step into our next matchup in Week 16.
Loopy Dingo's
The problem in Week 15 was pretty easy to identify, Loopy Dingo's. Choosing to start Brett Maher in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 170 points... we'll deem this to be an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again?
