Slam Diego

Frozen Fromunda Chee
Unless Frozen Fromunda Chee wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 30 targets in Week 12. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in just 13 balls.
