Fantasy Suite come up short of projections, succumb to LUCK's on my side in 118.07-67.53 rout

There's no easy way to say it, Fantasy Suite didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as LUCK's on my side rolled to a 118.07-67.53 win. Fantasy Suite jumped out to a 36.93-point lead on Saturday behind a combined 27.8 points from the Houston Texans defense (20 Pts Allowed, 435 Yds Allowed, 5 Turnovers) and James White (4 Rec, 24 Rec Yds). But LUCK's on my side held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Patrick Mahomes, who passed for 251 yards , ran for 14 yards and scored 3 touchdowns for 27.27 points, and Aaron Jones, who ran for 154 yards and 2 touchdowns (27 points). This marks the second time this season LUCK's on my side have taken down Fantasy Suite, after winning 136.15-107.67 in their last matchup. LUCK's on my side end the season with a record of 7-8, while Fantasy Suite finish the campaign at 6-9.

Coach Talk

LUCK's on my side
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Not only did we dominate Fantasy Suite at RB (43.1 points to 8.1), we also royally dominated them at QB (27.27 to 4.33).
Fantasy Suite
Unless Fantasy Suite wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 25 times in Week 16. With only 11 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
