Homelander's Milk Bottle
Getting the win is most important, Homelander's Milk Bottle, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our quarterback was clearly overmatched by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for only 15.32 points in Week 15, and the QBs for RED #54 doubled us up with a score of 35.86. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!

Happy holidays, RED #54! We hope the GM of Homelander's Milk Bottle will write a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
