Fancy Lads succumb to Benjvmmin''s Team, 196.75-145.55

There's no easy way to put it, Fancy Lads underperformed, at least based on projections, as Benjvmmin''s Team came out on top with a 196.75-145.55 win. Fancy Lads took a 24.33-point lead on Thursday, but Benjvmmin''s Team held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Amari Cooper (10 Rec, 217 Rec Yds, 3 Rec TDs) and Christian McCaffrey (63 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 38 Rec Yds). Patrick Mahomes (377 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Cameron Jordan (4 Tackles, 2 Sacks) led the charge for Fancy Lads in the loss. This marks the first time this season Benjvmmin''s Team have taken down Fancy Lads, after falling 197.26-153.58 in their last matchup. Benjvmmin''s Team will look to not lose that winning feeling in next week's semifinals, while Fancy Lads attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Benjvmmin''s Team
You know what, Benjvmmin''s Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Jordan Reed and Mark Andrews), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and see what happens!
Fancy Lads
We were just taking it easy so our players could dominate in next week, right? The nine starting offensive position players on Fancy Lads (six WRs, three RBs) combined to register 358 yards and just one touchdown in Week 14. Our opposition's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 612 yards and six scores.
