ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS succumb to Lazy Laughing Lizard in 109.5-88.5 romp

There's no sugarcoating it, ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS underperformed, at least compared to projections, as Lazy Laughing Lizard rolled to a 109.5-88.5 victory. There wasn't much drama in this one, as Lazy Laughing Lizard jumped out to a 25.5-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from Justin Tucker and Stefon Diggs. Tucker made all 4 of his FG attempts for 15 points, while Diggs caught 5 passes for 52 yards (6 points). The Pittsburgh Steelers defense (14 Pts Allowed, 232 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) and Dak Prescott (226 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 20 Rush Yds) were the leaders for ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS in the loss. This marks the first time this season Lazy Laughing Lizard have taken down ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS, after falling 78.75-64.25 in their last matchup. Lazy Laughing Lizard finish the season at 2-15, while ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS end the campaign at 5-11-1.

Coach Talk

Lazy Laughing Lizard
We do admire the confidence this past week, Lazy Laughing Lizard. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (T.J. Hockenson and Christian McCaffrey), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS
It's entirely possible that ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 12 total targets in Week 17, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
