CeeDeez Nutz
Earning the win is most important, CeeDeez Nutz, but we've also identified one spot where we can get stronger as a team. Our starting QB was severely outclassed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 8.7 points in Week 16, and the QBs for King of the North tripled us up with a score of 29.1.
King of the North
Talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting RBs for King of the North collectively registered two receptions on only three measly targets this past week.
