Simmons fall short of expectations, lose to YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas in 112.05-65.45 drubbing

There's no easy way to say it, Simmons underdelivered, at least based on projections, as YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas rolled to a 112.05-65.45 win. YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas pulled out to an 18.50-point lead on Thursday behind Ezekiel Elliott (13.9 points) and David Montgomery (8.9) and never let it go. Van Jefferson Jr. (16.8 points) and Cooper Kupp (15.1) led the charge for Simmons in defeat. This marks the first time this season YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas have gotten the best of Simmons, after falling 163.6-142.4 in their last matchup. YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas (3-9) will look to earn another W against Big Ballers, while Simmons (6-6) attempt to right the ship against Sprint Right Option.

Coach Talk

YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas
Heckuva job overcoming that three-match losing streak, YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas! Each fantasy team is met with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Simmons
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 26 times in Week 12. With only 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
