Barn’s Fantasy Guru Svet come up short of predictions, succumb to Slippy Lippy, 134.32-114.52

There's no sugarcoating it, Barn’s Fantasy Guru Svet underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Slippy Lippy secured a 134.32-114.52 victory. Slippy Lippy leapt out to a 56.00-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 48 points from Stefon Diggs (8 Rec, 122 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Gabe Davis (4 Rec, 88 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and never looked back. Lamar Jackson (213 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 17 Rush Yds) and the Miami Dolphins defense (7 Pts Allowed, 271 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) carried the flag for Barn’s Fantasy Guru Svet in the loss. Slippy Lippy (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against Wex, while Barn’s Fantasy Guru Svet (0-1) will attempt to get back on track against Steven's Phenomenal Team.
