Unable to overcome starter's goose egg, Packerbackers fall to The Mad Scientist, 109.32-92.82

Impeded by a 0-point performance from Boston Scott, Packerbackers were unable to overcome The Mad Scientist, which emerged victorious with a 109.32-92.82 win. The Mad Scientist took an early 4.70-point lead on Thursday. Packerbackers bounced back to take the lead during the early slate on Sunday, powered by Tom Brady (29.62 points) and Keenan Allen (17.4).

Coach Talk

The Mad Scientist
Nice job overcoming that two-game losing skid, The Mad Scientist! Every fantasy team will surely be hit with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
Packerbackers
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group notched only 15 catches.
