Story Bots fall short of expectations, lose to Woverines, 146.88-133.18

There's no sugarcoating it, Story Bots underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Woverines came from behind to earn a 146.88-133.18 win. Woverines trailed 133.18-127.40 heading into Monday night, but the team rallied behind Russell Wilson (19.48 points). Deebo Samuel (66 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 12 Rec Yds) and Justin Herbert (303 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 36 Rush Yds) did their part for Story Bots in defeat. This marks the second time this season Woverines have taken down Story Bots, after winning 172.52-159.5 in their last matchup. Woverines (3-9) will look to sustain their winning ways against Arkansas Chargers, while Story Bots (7-5) will face VivaLasVegas in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

Woverines
Way to shrug off that three-game losing skid, Woverines! Every fantasy GM will surely be presented with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Story Bots
Unless Story Bots wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a hearty 22 targets in Week 12. With just 10 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
