Props to you, PANIC IN DETROIT !!. Fielding a starting crew that earned 171.71 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of The Raider Nation, take this victory in stride, and continue marching forward to a fantasy title.
The Raider Nation
There's a decent chance that The Raider Nation would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 10 total targets in Week 14, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
