Jackson 17
Listen, Jackson 17, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Tyler Lockett and Jalen Hurts), while still earning the win.
My Schuster Ertz
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 26 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group tallied just 13 receptions.
