Roadrunner come up short of predictions, succumb to Bob's Big Blue in 121.11-91.79 rout

Coach Talk

Bob's Big Blue
Nice work deploying a lineup that produced more than 121 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of Roadrunner, take this win in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Roadrunner
So, Roadrunner, what did your wideouts do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing just 10 total targets in Week 14, our three wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
