The Riddlers
Bravo, The Riddlers. Nice work fielding a lineup that won by over 12 points in Week 16.
Mark Davis' Revenge!
Logging three receptions on just four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Mark Davis' Revenge! should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more often.
