Unable to overcome multiple busts, Ellie's Team fall to Rose's Roster in 112.2-65.8 rout

Hindered by multiple starters who put up goose eggs (Cam Newton, Travis Kelce, Antonio Brown, and the Los Angeles Chargers defense), Ellie's Team were unable to overcome Rose's Roster, which cruised to a 112.2-65.8 victory. Ellie's Team pulled out to an 8.0-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Rose's Roster after that. They were led by Mark Ingram II (24.3 points) and George Kittle (21.9). Nick Chubb (106 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 58 Rec Yds) and Allen Robinson II (6 Rec, 131 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did their part for Ellie's Team in defeat. Rose's Roster (7-2) will look to sustain their momentum against Mason's Team, while Ellie's Team (3-6) attempt to generate some positive momentum against louis's Team.

Coach Talk

Rose's Roster
Only two makes on four field goal attempts? Sounds like Nick Folk might have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Ellie's Team
Hey, it's possible that Ellie's Team would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 10 targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
