Finding Francis
We're curious if the GM of Finding Francis was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 0.42 points, Jake Elliott (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember folks, every point matters!
john m's Team
Unless john m's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 41 targets in Week 14. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they tallied only 25 receptions.
