Wu-Tang
Listen, Wu-Tang, we do certainly respect the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Kiko Alonso, Antonio Callaway, and Matt LaCosse), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
Phillip's Primo Team
Hey, Phillip's Primo Team, did your receiving crew talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Accumulating only 31 targets as a group in Week 16, our eight wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
