Bravo, Fools and Horses. Nice work deploying a starting crew that tallied 137.5 points this past matchup.
Frozen Tundra Starrs
Logging four receptions on only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Frozen Tundra Starrs should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
