Demaryius Targaryen fall short of projections, succumb to Mehunglow, 132.66-125.10

There's no sugarcoating it, Demaryius Targaryen dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as Mehunglow came back for a 132.66-125.10 victory. Mehunglow trailed 125.10-116.06 heading into Monday night, but the unit rallied behind the Philadelphia Eagles defense (13 Pts Allowed, 235 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and Nelson Agholor (4 Rec, 56 Rec Yds). Ben Roethlisberger (281 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Todd Gurley II (132 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 33 Rec Yds) were the top scorers for Demaryius Targaryen in defeat. This marks the first time this season Mehunglow have knocked off Demaryius Targaryen, after falling 163.38-134.12 in their last matchup. Mehunglow ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 5-8. Demaryius Targaryen (7-6) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.

Coach Talk

Mehunglow
Heckuva job shrugging off that two-game losing skid, Mehunglow! Each fantasy team is met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Demaryius Targaryen
"Not getting many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Demaryius Targaryen. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 13. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they managed only 11 receptions.
