Despite top scorer Cousins, DQ's Dandy Team fall to MoTown Coneys, 101.08-95.00

DQ's Dandy Team had the No. 1 scorer in the matchup with QB Kirk Cousins posting 25 points, the fifth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome MoTown Coneys, who came from behind to earn a 101.08-95.00 victory. MoTown Coneys trailed 86.10-72.28 heading into Monday night, but the squad charged back behind the New England Patriots defense (13 Pts Allowed, 323 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers). Kirk Cousins (425 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and DK Metcalf (5 Rec, 71 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the charge for DQ's Dandy Team in defeat. This marks the second time this season MoTown Coneys have gotten the best of DQ's Dandy Team, after winning 100.42-79.14 in their last matchup. MoTown Coneys (9-5) will look to maintain their momentum against C.W.'s BlitzBarons, while DQ's Dandy Team (5-9) will try to get back in the win column against M's Mind-Blowing Team.

Coach Talk

MoTown Coneys
Heckuva job shrugging off that two-match winless skid, MoTown Coneys! Every fantasy team is sure to be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
DQ's Dandy Team
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 14. With only 15 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
