L-Diggity defy expectations, defeat Forty Whiner in 218.0-134.4 rout

L-Diggity showed up, cruising to a 218.0-134.4 victory over Forty Whiner, who fell short of projections. Forty Whiner earned a 2.6-point lead on Thursday, but it was all L-Diggity after that. They were led by Dak Prescott (444 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 18 Rush Yds) and Christian McCaffrey (70 Rush Yds, 121 Rec Yds). Kyler Murray (59.7 points) and Marvin Jones Jr. (19.9) were the leaders for Forty Whiner in the loss. This marks the second time this season L-Diggity have knocked off Forty Whiner, after winning 145.8-144.1 in their last matchup. L-Diggity (9-2) will look to keep it rolling against Hades Star, while Forty Whiner (3-8) will meet Roostrs in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

L-Diggity
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three starting backs tallied 214 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Forty Whiner (347 total yards to 133), and we wound up tripling them at the position, 53.7 points to 16.3.
Forty Whiner
It's entirely possible that Forty Whiner could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just seven targets combined in Week 11, their two wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
