Despite top scorer Winston, Diggin Heat fall to Bad Boys in 122.4-80.7 rout

Jameis Winston posted 42.3 points for Diggin Heat, the top total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Bad Boys, who cruised to a 122.4-80.7 victory. Bad Boys got out to an early 2.0-point lead on Thursday. Diggin Heat came back to take the lead during the early slate on Sunday, powered by Jameis Winston (42.3 points) and the Minnesota Vikings defense (13). Unphased, Bad Boys made a run later that afternoon, as Tyreek Hill (13 points) and Dede Westbrook (8.5) put them back in the lead once and for all. This marks the second time this season Bad Boys have taken down Diggin Heat, after winning 123.7-72.6 in their last matchup. Bad Boys improve to 7-7 for the season, while Diggin Heat fall to 5-9.

Coach Talk

Bad Boys
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Not only did we double up Diggin Heat at WR (33.1 points to 13.5), we also quadrupled them at RB (46.2 to 10.9).
Diggin Heat
It's entirely possible that Diggin Heat may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 13 targets as a group in Week 14, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
