Clowns succumb to Happy Endings in 196.36-129.60 beatdown

There's no way around it, Clowns underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Happy Endings rolled to a 196.36-129.60 victory. Happy Endings pulled out to a 33.36-point lead on Thursday behind Derrick Henry (27.36 points) and Kevin Byard (6) and never let go of it.

Coach Talk

Happy Endings
Nice job overcoming that two-game winless streak, Happy Endings! Every fantasy GM will surely be hit with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Clowns
Unless Clowns wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 25 targets in Week 11. With just 13 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
