McmANUS Foreplay
You know, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We not only tripled Not Today at QB (37.4 points to 11.72), we also nearly quadrupled them at WR (29 to 7.7).
Not Today
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 22 targets in Week 15. With only nine total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
